April 8, 2024, Solar Eclipse
Who's looking up?
I wonder how many of you are following the solar eclipse craze that is exploding all over the media? I for one have watched many videos that showcase all the interesting nuggets of details that can be found. I find it very interesting, and I figured it would be good to share some insight from what I gathered with you.
Obviously, I am not an expert on this, just did some digging and used a few different versions of videos and writeups to put this together. I promise this ‘Minutes’ message will be interesting, but it is longer than typical.
First of all, why Do Eclipses Happen?
Eclipses occur on our planet when the Sun, Moon, and Earth line up. Exactly how they align determines what kind of eclipse we see. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking at least some of the Sun and casting a shadow on Earth.
On April 8, an eclipse is crossing over the USA and when it is combined with the previous eclipse 7 years earlier, they form an ‘X’ across the country.
So, the massive question that many have is… Is the eclipse passing over the USA a prophetic message from God to this generation?
Apparently 2024 will be marked by 12 full moons, 5 eclipses and 4 super moons. What does this mean? Is this an astronomy or astrology? There is a major difference between the two.
Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects in space and the physical universe as a whole… Astrology is the belief that suggests that a controlling mystical connection between the position of celestials’ bodies and human life and events.
Keep in mind that we should reject ASTOLOGY and its demonic practices in Jesus’s name! We don’t need a horoscope to know what is going to happen in our life, we need to look to the Word of God and be obedient to His Word.
We accept the study of ASTRONOMY, what God created!
There are more than 800 verses in the Bible where God stresses the importance of times and seasons. For instance…
Gen. 1:14/15
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Do you think these may be signals of God’s desire to meet with His people!
Ps. 104:19
19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
19 The heavens declare the glory of God (Question: What are the heavens declaring?) ; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. (What does the firmament reveal?)
Definition of firmament in case you haven’t read looked it up before..
The firmament ( raqia ). In biblical cosmology, the firmament (Hebrew: רָקִ֫יעַ rāqīa) is the vast solid dome created by God during the Genesis creation narrative to divide the primal sea into upper and lower portions so that the dry land could appear.
noun
The vault or expanse of the heavens; the sky.
Fixed foundation; established basis. (notice it says ‘fixed foundation’- this means can’t be moved or shaken and is a foundation! This is HUGE! Think about THIS word: foundation
The region of the air; the sky or heavens
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, (How often does the firmament show His handywork? Day unto Day) and night unto night sheweth knowledge. (And night unto night revealing His knowledge. Is God speaking through His eclipse? and how often is there a message coming through God’s handywork? Would you dare say, “Every single day?” Well, that’s what we just read… I didn’t say it, the Word says it as we just read.)
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun…
Shouldn’t the question be instead, “What IS He saying?” instead of “Is He speaking?
Let’s look at some of the incidents happening around the globe and some interesting details about the locations of the eclipse … all during the same time.
1) NASA is launching 3 rockets into the dark side of the moon during the eclipse.
2) CERN is firing up its collider (do some research on this if you don’t know about it)
3) Two cicada broods are expected to emerge around the same time which hasn’t happened since 1803 (221 years!) and won’t happen again until 2245, says Frank Meek, a technical services manager at Orkin. “These periodic broods are different from the cicadas that come out every year,” he adds.
The “double brood” will bring billions of bugs with it.
The event is being called a “cicadapocalypse” and “cicada emergency.”
4) With the path of this last eclipse, combined with the first 2 eclipses (one in 2017 and the other in 2023), it will create the Hebrew letter over America that is "Aleph Tav" and in Greek it is the "Alpha & Omega (Alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, and a title of Christ and God in the Book of Revelation.)" - both means "The beginning and the end."
God said in Revelation 21:6 that He is the beginning and the end, and this Aleph Tav is like His signature.
Why would He use an eclipse to put His signature over America? Let's dig deeper:
5) He has used eclipses to warn nations of coming judgement so that the nation can repent of their sinful ways and come back to Him. This happened with the story of Ninevah. God told Jonah to go to the wicked nation of Ninevah and warn them about coming judgement. Jonah ran away from the assignment and while out at sea got swallowed up by a whale and was in the whale for 3 days. Jonah repented of running away so the whale spit him up. He then went to Ninevah and warned the people but there was something that also happened while he was warning the people...an eclipse came over the land.
In the 19th century, ancient tablets were discovered that describe an eclipse called the Bur-Sagale eclipse where the totality of the eclipse landed right over Ninevah while Jonah was there preaching of the 40-day warning before the coming destruction. Because of this, the people realized that this was a sign from God that what Jonah was saying was true and they repented by prayer and fasting (even making the animals fast), and God spared their nation.
It is amazing how much America mirrors Ninevah. To make this even more clear, this last eclipse on April 8th will be going over 7 cities here in America called - yep you guessed it - NINEVAH!
I honestly didn't even know that we had any city here in the U.S. named that but here we are - with this eclipse going over these cities (and there will be an 8th one that it goes over also called Ninevah in Canada.)
Here are the cities:
🔺𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐡, 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐬
🔺𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐡, 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢
🔺𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐡, 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 (𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐠 𝟏.𝟎𝟐𝟑, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝟑:𝟎𝟕 𝐏𝐌)
🔺𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐡, 𝐎𝐡𝐢𝐨
🔺𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐡, 𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐬𝐲𝐥𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚
🔺𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐡, 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐚
🔺𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐡, 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐫𝐤
🔺𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐡, 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐚 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚 (𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐒)
Could this be that God is warning us just as He warned Ninevah? There has been many "Jonahs" in the past few years warning the nation that we need to repent and add in this sign above our heads - we can't turn away from the fact that it is not a coincidence. But if you need more proof, let's keep going...
6) The first part of this 3-part eclipse series was in 2017. The path of that eclipse went over 7 cities named Salem, which is short for Jerusalem.
🔺𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐦, 𝐎𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐧
🔺𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐦, 𝐈𝐝𝐚𝐡𝐨
🔺𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐦, 𝐖𝐲𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠
🔺𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐦, 𝐍𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐚
🔺𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐦, 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢
🔺𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐦, 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐲
🔺𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐦, 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚
The mathematical "chance" of there being 7 Salem's with the first eclipse and then 7 Ninevah's for the 3rd eclipse is unthinkable. But what about the 2nd part of the eclipse?
7) Perhaps the most striking piece of the 2nd eclipse is that the precise centerline of eclipse path exits the USA directly over Corpus Christi. Corpus Christi means the “Body of Christ” and is one of the only towns named that in the world!
But let's go back to this upcoming eclipse and dig even deeper...
8) Jonah was giving a 40-day warning to Ninevah during the eclipse. If you look at our April 8th eclipse and fast forward 40 days then you will get to May 18, 2024 - the day before Pentecost.
The history of Pentecost is that it is the last Spring Feast that the Lord has given us (there are 4 in the Spring and 3 in the Fall). This is the day that the Lord sent the Holy Spirit down to all those who have accepted Christ. We are told that the "Restrainer" (many believe this is the Holy Spirit) will be removed before the Tribulation - could it be that this is a warning for that?
I'm not sure as that is a worldwide event, and this eclipse will be just over North America, but it is something definitely to think and pray about for more clarity and wisdom.
No matter what, there are too many things lining up for it to not be nothing and so my job is to get the information out to you all so that you can at least be aware of these signs that God is giving us so that you can pray about it.
But let's keep going...
9) From the start of this 3-part eclipse to the end, it will be 7 years. God uses numbers a lot to communicate with us, and 7 has a ton of meaning. A few examples are - He created the world in 7 days, there will be a 7-year tribulation, 7 is used for completion, etc.
10) Going back to how this correlates with Jonah & Ninevah's story -at the time of this eclipse, there will be another sign in the sky...it will take place under the constellation, Cetus, which is the whale constellation!
And not only will it pass through the 8 cities in North America named Ninevah, but it will also pass through Jonah, Texas!
Speaking of other towns that it will pass through; these are some of the other city names that it will go right over:
🔺Rapture, Indiana
🔺Williamston, Kentucky - this is where the Ark Encounter is located. The Ark Encounter is a full-size replica of Noah's Ark.
🔺Eagle Pass, Texas - where we are having so many border issues.
🔺And the point where it crosses the 2017 eclipse to mark the center of the X is an area in southern Illinois called ‘Little Egypt’ or Carbondale. What is even more fascinating about this is that Little Egypt is sandwiched in between 2 other cities called Alpha, Kentucky and Omega, Illinois - both having the 2017 eclipse come over their cities.
Interestingly, Little Egypt has become the symbol of abortion rights in America. Many abortion clinics opened in this exact area, some moving from other states, when Roe overturned. One particular clinic, in the first five and a half months they were open, performed just over 1,400 abortions, reaching an average of about 400 a month. And this is JUST ONE clinic! If that number continued, and it sounds like it did, we can assume that by April 2024 the abortion number is 5600 - again for 1 clinic in that area.
One of the ministers – Phil Nelson, a pastor at Lakeland Baptist Church – warned of a “judgment that will come to our city” along with abortion.
11) The intersection of the 2017 and 2024 solar eclipses occurs directly over the New Madrid Fault Line, a major seismic zone. An earthquake along this fault line could potentially destroy the U.S., making it one of the most perilous fault lines in the country. we have no idea if this will happen or not, but there are too many things here that are all literally lining up to not share.
12) Recently I started listening to an author sharing his studies on times/dates and biblical timeline. Again, I have no idea how correct his information is because he is a mathematician and it’s quite deep, but it’s interesting non the less.
Check out the date he has on this screenshot.. and you can tune in yourself to listen here: 2024 Video
13) One more interesting fact is that there are 2,422 days in between the 2017 eclipse and the 2024 eclipse. If you look up 2422 in Strong's Concordance, a Bible concordance that has every word of the KJV, takes us to Exodus 1:19 which says,
“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐨𝐡, “𝐇𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐰 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐄𝐠𝐲𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧; 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞."
Why would this be of any significance?
Well, to me, it reminds me of how Jesus said that His return would be like a woman in labor with the signs of His coming growing stronger and closer together. We are at a point in history where we are seeing all of the signs that He gave us happening before our eyes. In fact, we are even seeing things that will happen during the tribulation get setup now. If we are seeing those things being setup now, that must mean that we are super close to it actually happening.
Going back to God saying that He uses the sun, moon and stars to show us signs - and then Jesus saying that the signs of His coming will be like a woman in labor, well this information leading us back to Exodus 1:19 explaining that the Hebrew women have labor fast is so interesting to me! Could we be on the brink of the rapture and tribulation!?
I don't know exactly when it will happen, but Jesus did tell us that we would know the season and I do believe that we have been in that season for the past few years and are pushing closer and closer to it!
So, what do you do with all of this information?
It is no secret that this world has gone mad and everyone knows that there is something happening behind the scenes that feels really uncomfortable. If you have that feeling, you are right!
There is a major push for things to happen that were predicted to happen over 2,000 years ago. Most people seek their understanding in the wrong place though. They look to the news and the world to guide them; however, these sources will only bring more questions, not answers. It causes people to live in fear, anxiety and depression.
However, Jesus didn't want us to live that way. He gave us the information so that we would know what is happening when we see these things.
The first piece of living in His knowledge is accepting that God sent His son, Jesus, to die for our sins and on the 3rd day, Jesus rose from the grave and conquered death.
The second piece is to repent to God of your sins and turn away from your sins. Most churches only teach how God loves you but don't teach repentance anymore and that is a HUGE part of your faith.
Jesus said that there will be many who come to Him and say, "Lord, Lord, I knew you." But because they didn't repent of their sins and seek Jesus' ways instead of their own, He will reply, "Get away from me, I never knew you."
We cannot just live however we want without any consequences. Even little children understand this concept, but it has been lost on most adults. This is why Ninevah was going to see destruction - because they were a self-serving, sinful nation - just like America is today.
You can't change the heart of this nation, but you can change your heart and lead your homes to do the same. Third, pray for wisdom in these areas.
And I’ve always appreciated these verses..
Luke 21
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring.
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
We need to remember to LOOK UP and WATCH for Him to return and not to get weary doing so. Awhile back I share a devotional about 7 Easy-ish Tips for living. All tips are taken from scripture, one being 1 Thes. 5: 20 Do not despise prophecies
It is definitely an interesting time we are living in, and I encourage you to do your own research and thank Jesus that we can ultimately trust Him to care for us.
I know this has been incredibly deep (and longer read than typical) but just like Proverbs 25:2 says, "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter."
This sign in the sky will be right over your head Monday - ask God to reveal Himself to YOU and to keep drawing YOU into His Son, Jesus.
Let’s all be more God conscious in our daily lives and keep looking UP for His return! Don’t grow weary! Pray that you will be able to be worthy to stand in front of Him! And share these interesting facts with others, it will lead to great conversations.
Use this following verse to provide you with God’s Word to lean take comfort in. Stay on Mission and allow God to use YOU today!
Is. 41: 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (For those of you that don’t use the word ‘Dismayed’ definition: thoroughly disheartened, as by sudden danger or trouble.)
Live Radiantly… today & thanks for joining me on this interesting journey.

PS…
Oh … and if all of the above wasn’t enough… did you know…
New York had a 4.8 earthquake— The U.S. Geological Survey said over 42 million people might have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8. I mean really, 4.8?
and what about the Statue of Liberty being struck by lightning? Maybe nothing but coincidence… but still very interesting timing!
So good…. We are getting closer! Thanks for sharing!
