When I look at these signs in the heavens I have no doubt this is a sign from God, but what is it saying? So I look at the book of Jonah and the book of Daniel. In Jonah we believe that a solar eclipse preceded Jonah's warning to Nineveh. Added to that the Ninevites worshipped fish and so Jonah arriving on the shore of their land in the mouth of a fish told them that God had a word for them. This is why they heeded his call for repentance and as a result God showed them mercy.

So in the same way I think you have to take the eclipse in the context of what many prophets of God, particularly those recorded in the Bible, have said, to understand this. For example, for two thousand years it seemed impossible that any ruler could be so powerful he could control what every person on earth bought or sold. But now we can see that theoretically they now have the technology capable to do that, they also have actually tested out this system on 30 banks, and the UN is pushing out sustainable development goals where they are making it clear they want to control what every person on earth buys and sells. That is simply one example that tells me we have arrived at the tribulation period talked about in the Book of Revelation.

In Daniel you have this creepy story about a hand that appears and writes on the wall. The point of the story is that no person wrote this message. The same can be said of the three eclipses writing the Aleph and Tav on the US. No person wrote that. But they need Daniel, the guy they had thrown into the Lion's den because he prayed to God to interpret what was written. Likewise we need the Evangelical Christians who are talking about this eclipse and the meaning to tell us what it means.

First, the 2017 and the 2023 eclipse both start in Oregon and cover the entire state. The name Oregon means "river of the west" and it is because of the Columbia gorge. We now know that the geologic features of the State of Oregon were formed by the Great Missoula flood which is what most call "Noah's flood". The evidence of this flood coming out of the highest mountains (Rockies) and being 40 cubits deep has been confirmed by geologists. By the time it converges at the Columbia gorge the depth of the flood was a thousand feet deep. So the tip of the Aleph that looks like an arrow is pointing to the undeniable evidence of Noah's flood and that should be a warning to us.

Second the 2017 eclipse intersects the 2024 eclipse over Little Egypt and over a place where every year they celebrate the gathering of the vultures. When asked "where Lord" He said "where the vultures gather together, that is where the carcass will be". This is also where the New Madrid fault zone lies and in the 1800s there were two eclipses that intersected over this spot and that was followed shortly later by the New Madrid fault. So we also see this eclipse as a warning of a great earthquake which will split the US. In the Bible every time someone rose from the grave there was an earthquake, and one of the towns that the 2024 eclipse goes over is "Rapture Indiana". Following that it goes over two towns called Nineveh. So we understand this to be referring to the story of Jonah. If we liken the rapture and the dead in Christ rising from the grave to Jonah being spit out onto the land from the mouth of the fish, and that after that event people repent in sackcloth and ashes, it certainly looks like the story this eclipse is telling us.

Third, the 2023 and 2024 eclipse intersect down in Texas over Uvalde. That is the town with the horrific school shooting. That shooting was May 24, 2022. That was two years ago. Imagine we are seeing the gospel in reverse. Two years after Jesus was born we had a horrific killing of babies two years and younger. This shooting in Uvalde may have been a two year warning of a different birth, the birth of the Antichrist. After the rapture the Antichrist is revealed. So while interpreting the writing on the wall Daniel said it meant you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. This is a reference to the scales of justice. Consider the use of lawfare in this country. Many of the events are unrighteous and will bring God's judgement.

What I find interesting is that we don't know the timing, is a sign a two year sign, a seven year sign, how are we to know? In 2017 the eclipse went over seven cities named Salem. Some have interpreted that to mean we would have seven years of peace (Salem means peace). The shooting at Uvalde could be interpreted as a two year sign. Well the writing on the wall in Daniel was a one day sign, it was that same night after Daniel interpreted the writing that Babylon was overthrown.

How the Celestial Signs Today Lay Out the First Half of the Tribulation from 2024!


Another point about these signs is that the Bible says "by the mouth of two or three witnesses let a thing be established". One solar eclipse or one blood moon can be a warning, but three of them, that means the thing is established.

Romans 15:1-14 Admonish, counsel and instruct one another in love

1 We who are strong [in our convictions and of robust faith] ought to bear with the failings and the frailties and the tender scruples of the weak; [we ought to help carry the doubts and qualms of others] and not to please ourselves.

If you feel your faith is able to move mountains then you are not fearful of hearing about what is happening in the news. In your faith the Lord can do anything. However, if you feel helpless and unable to do anything and you are just a humble believer who wishes to worship the Lord, then that also is fine. That is how an oak tree begins, as a tiny sprout that could be squashed easily enough.

2 Let each one of us make it a practice to please (make happy) his neighbor for his good and for his true welfare, to edify him [to strengthen him and build him up spiritually].

This is the Lord’s command, to love your neighbor as yourself. When I was a brand new Christian I didn’t watch the news, instead I spent my time in reading the word, fellowship with believers and worship. In one of my classes the professor learned this and was stunned that I didn’t know about 3 mile island. So I asked her to tell me what I had missed. There was a possible leak at 3 mile island, the university was in Houston and 3 mile island was in NY. No one had to be evacuated, no one died, and there was no risk to me in Houston. So I asked her, ok, now that I know more how does any of that require that I watch the news every night? I’m glad I know this but does it really matter if I knew it a month ago or today? Ironically this class was about how to manipulate people using TV ads and the professor didn't even see she was being manipulated by the news stories. We all stand before the Lord if He tells you not to focus on the news that is fine, if He tells you to pay attention to what is going on that also is fine.

3 For Christ did not please Himself [gave no thought to His own interests]; but, as it is written, The reproaches and abuses of those who reproached and abused you fell on Me.

This is known as head covering. My professor reproached me for not watching the news. I was clear before the Lord that I was doing what He wanted me to do, so my head was covered and the reproach fell on Him.

4 For whatever was thus written in former days was written for our instruction, that by [our steadfast and patient] endurance and the encouragement [drawn] from the Scriptures we might hold fast to and cherish hope.

There are many people who watch the news religiously and yet are clueless about what is going on. Just today I talked to two very educated and well informed people that I work with concerning the recent news on the UFO’s. Neither one had a clue what to think. Now if they read the Bible they would know that this is a critical sign of the Lord’s coming. In 2Thessalonians 2 we are told that the Lord does not return before the apostasy and then Paul says that prior to the rapture God will send them a strong delusion. There has to be an explanation for the rapture and for all the fallen angels that are kicked out of heaven and cast down to Earth at that time. So then watching the news is like watching through a window that is covered in soot. Wouldn’t it make sense to first wash the soot off the window? The Bible is that water that will clean the window, it was written for our instruction.

5 Now may the God Who gives the power of patient endurance (steadfastness) and Who supplies encouragement, grant you to live in such mutual harmony and such full sympathy with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, 6 That together you may [unanimously] with united hearts and one voice, praise and glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).

Right now there is a very sharp schism between those who support Biden and those who support Trump. This is because the vast majority of Christians do not fully understand God’s purpose which was written for us in His word. If you did understand that you would know that everything is unfolding according to the prophecies and so that the man of lawlessness could be revealed. As Paul said this is essential prior to the rapture. Many things that are taking place are designed to wake us up. Again, something that was prophesied.

7 Welcome and receive [to your hearts] one another, then, even as Christ has welcomed and received you, for the glory of God.
8 For I tell you that Christ (the Messiah) became a servant and a minister to the circumcised (the Jews) in order to show God’s truthfulness and honesty by confirming (verifying) the promises [given] to our fathers, 9 And [also in order] that the Gentiles (nations) might glorify God for His mercy [not covenanted] to them. As it is written, Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles and sing praises to Your name.

There was a great discrepancy between these two, a very sharp schism, yet the Lord has laid the cornerstone which unites these two. They also have two very different seasons and different paths and yet we can all be one rejoicing in the Lord and praising Him for what He has done.

10 Again it is said, Rejoice (exult), O Gentiles, along with His [own] people;
11 And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise Him!

This is the key, we should be praising the Lord in all we do. If you have this attitude it will not bother you if someone has a different opinion about the politics of this nation. For example, I was very upset with what I saw as corruption and was very strong demanding that certain crimes be investigated and prosecuted. But regardless of this no one will be cleansed from their sins unless they repent and turn to the Lord. If we prosecute them as we ought to then that is good, if they don’t get prosecuted then when they appear before the Great White throne judgement it will be resolved. What is more urgent right now is that we praise the Lord and exult in His name. Letting all the people know that He is coming and they need to repent for the Kingdom of the heavens, that is the most needful thing.

12 And further Isaiah says, There shall be a Sprout from the Root of Jesse, He Who rises to rule over the Gentiles; in Him shall the Gentiles hope.

Yes, that is my hope, and I am struggling and praying that everything in the world would be brought into subjection under the headship of Jesus Christ. But this begins with me, and that means that I must love my neighbor as myself.

13 May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.

I have been convicted by Noah. Lot is called a righteous man, but Noah was a preacher of righteousness. Lot is rescued by the skin of his teeth and it is a shameful rescue from a burning dumpster fire known as Sodom and Gomorrah. Noah on the other hand had a glorious salvation and deliverance. I want to be Noah not Lot. That requires that you are abounding and overflowing with hope (people around you are getting filled with the water from the word).

14 Personally I am satisfied about you, my brethren, that you yourselves are rich in goodness, amply filled with all [spiritual] knowledge and competent to admonish and counsel and instruct one another also.

This is the kind of fellowship we should be having. Admonish, counsel and instruct one another. I watched an hour long video from a man teaching about how the Vatican has a UFO department that operates observatories, believes in aliens, and is teaching that we should view them as moral superiors. It was astounding, they are paving the way for the fallen angels to come and set up the kingdom of antichrist. This was particularly relevant given the recent news concerning UFOs. There is too much out there for any of us to know so we need each other, whether it is those who have done the heavy lifting in Bible exposition or those who have focused on tangential issues that are also quite relevant (Shroud of Turin, Catholic Church’s UFO theology, etc).

2024:The Mystery of Apostasy. God's Word reveals the TRUTH!


He shows that "The" apostasy refers to both interpretations. He gives an analogy, if you put a dead fish into a bucket of clean water you cannot smell the dead fish. But if you remove the water (the rapture of the believers) the dead, rotting fish will now become very obvious and smelly. His point is that "the" apostasy is not simply a common falling away from the faith that we have seen for 2,000 years but a very special event, the rapture. Once the believers are taken those who are left behind will immediately become manifest and the large church buildings will be filled with the apostates.

The Beast that rises out of the sea that is like the all previous empires blended into one and that people say "who can war with him", this "beast" has the "mark of the beast" which we have interpreted to be similar to a RFID chip or a bar code imbedded in each person, either on the hand or the forehead. Since no one can buy or sell without this mark we understand that this must be a digital tracking device, similar to a bar code or a credit card, and that it must be connected to the internet from anywhere in the world requiring the use of Starlink satellites and it would have to use a Quantum computer to be able to do this.

So on one hand it is like one giant CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) but on another hand the army would be like a million soldiers all connected using neuralink in their brains, along with drones and robots controlled with an AI.

Since 1994 we have known that a Quantum computer can break codes that would take a supercomputer a thousand years in a minute or two. This means that once a rogue state like Russia or China has this capability they can empty all the digital currencies like Bitcoin into their own vault.

That sounds like BRICS, the ten nations that will rule for an hour (over King dollar) and then give their power to the Antichrist who will be using this beast system and the mark of the beast. By stealing all the crypto currencies they will make it essential to have the mark placed on every person.

I don't believe in Coincidences

X marks the spot where the 2017 and 2024 eclipses intersect. Within this square where both eclipses went over the 2024 eclipse will first go over Makanda, Illinois where every year the vultures gather together for a festival celebrating their gathering together (that is a prophecy, they asked the Lord "where" and He said "where the vultures gather together there will the corpse be". Next to Makanda you have Antioch cemetery. Antioch is where Christians were first called Christians. So this is where the corpses of the Christians who rise first are (in typology, this is how I am reading this eclipse). It then crosses Wolf Creek (wolves depict the false believers who sneak in, the ones who come to kill the sheep, and Hitler referred to his house as the "wolf lair"). It then crosses the N. Refuge road, this takes us to New Hope, then we cross Herald to New Haven on the border of illinois (which means Man in Algonquin). This brings us into Indiana which means "land of the Indians", so as we enter into this land we cross the Wabash river at the Rising sun and come to solitude, New Harmony and Poseyville (posey is a small bouquet of flowers like what a bride would hold). Wabash means "river flowing over white stones".

I do believe in a river of life flowing over white stones!

The eclipse also goes over Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, two of the five great lakes, but the smaller ones. I find this very interesting because we know during the tribulation there will be judgment on the fresh water. Not only so but Watertown NY is next.

The last place it crosses as it leaves the US is the Boston Post Road, indicating that this is a letter to us from God.

Also there are five major battlegrounds from the Civil War that are in the path of the total eclipse:
Shiloh, Spotsylvania, Bull run, Chancellorsville, Beaver Dam

I think it is safe to say that this eclipse is also warning that after the rapture you will see the US split with a civil war.

Oh, the irony!

The Red Heifer ceremony accurately describes the crucifixion of Jesus, and the word "red" is from the word for Adam, so you could see it as the "Man heifer" ceremony.

What is ironic is that there is no way right now for the Jews to perform this ceremony without becoming ritually impure because they must pass through a cemetery. Jesus death is still a big thorn in their side.

How do we know if the Day of the Lord is at hand?

Many people know the verse "no one knows the day or the hour" but what about the verse that when you see these things take place look up for your redemption draws nigh. The Lord clearly told us we would see things happen that would let us know that our redemption draws nigh. So, what are they?

1. A worldwide global shutdown of the economy which God says is Him calling for sabbath fast.

According to the book of Joel that is. a big sign that the day of the Lord is at hand and it is like the picture of the Jordan river standing up and allowing Israel to cross over on dry land.

2. According to Daniel the last seven years is known as the 70th week and in the middle of that week the Antichrist causes the sacrifices and oblations to cease. So if you see the Jews return to the land of Israel that would be.a necessary first step (1948), and you would need to see them take control of Jerusalem (1967) and they will need to resume the sacrifices. Before they can do that they will need to have a certified red heifer to sacrifice (they have at least one that is certified and ready to sacrifice this spring).

3. Signs in the Sun, Moon and stars. We have had several major signs, the Revelation 12 sign in 2017 and the writing on the wall sign in which God wrote "Alpha and Omega" or "Aleph Tav" on the US.

4. Wars and rumors of war. It would have to include all the major powers: China, Russia, the US and Europe as well as Israel. Psalm 83 war leads to the destruction of Damascus and the Ezekiel 38 war. A rumor of war might refer to a bioweapon followed with a whole lot of censorship. False flag events accusing people of insurrection, and stolen elections. Things like that.

5. There were two big signs that took place before the crucifixion of Jesus which may correspond with the rapture of the church (when Jesus was crucified there was a big earthquake and the graves were opened -- we expect at the rapture there will be a big earthquake (sixth seal) and the graves will be opened). The first sign was the flipping of the moneychangers tables. I think we'll see a collapse of the US dollar as a world reserve currency. The next day Jesus cursed the fig tree and it withered up signifying the sinful worldly system. He then said that we would tell this mountain to be taken up and cast into the sea representing the Roman government. So I also expect to see a collapse of the world's economic system.
