2024 Solar Eclipse: Coincidence or Final Warning?
Rapture Ready ^ | 1/27/24 | Jonathan Brentner

Posted on 01/27/2024 3:55:00 PM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

What’s likely to become the biggest travel event during 2024 in America? Some might think it would be the Super Bowl or another sporting event, such as the Indianapolis 500. However, according to the Washington Post, it will be the solar eclipse that will cross the U.S. on April 8, 2024.

This eclipse sparks added interest among prophecy watchers because of its relationship to another darkening of the sun that occurred on August 21, 2017. The two eclipses, seven years apart, will form an X on America intersecting at Little Egypt, a small town in southern Illinois.

Is this just a coincidence, or is it the Lord’s way of alerting America that judgment is on the way?

The Coincidence

The pattern of two solar eclipses forming an X over the U.S. also happened in the early 1800s. Remarkably, the intersection of this century’s solar eclipses will be about one hundred miles from where those of the nineteenth century crossed paths.

The first solar eclipse occurred on June 16, 1806, with the second completing the X on September 17, 1811. The intersection happened over the New Madrid fault area, which includes an area from Cairo in southern Illinois to nearby New Madrid, MO.

On December 16, 1811, just three months after the second solar eclipse, a series of devastating earthquakes struck along the New Madrid fault line. The following quote comes from the New Madrid, MO, website:

The New Madrid earthquakes were the biggest earthquakes in American history. They occurred in the central Mississippi Valley but were felt as far away as New York City, Boston, Montreal, and Washington D.C. President James Madison and his wife Dolly felt them in the White House. Church bells rang in Boston. From December 16, 1811, through March of 1812, there were over 2,000 earthquakes in the central Midwest and between 6,000-10,000 earthquakes in the Bootheel of Missouri, where New Madrid is located near the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

In the known history of the world, no other earthquakes have lasted so long or produced so much evidence of damage as the New Madrid earthquakes. Three of the earthquakes are on the list of America’s top earthquakes: the first one on December 16, 1811, a magnitude of 8.1 on the Richter scale; the second on January 23, 1812, at 7.8; and the third on February 7, 1812, at as much as 8.8 magnitude.

Could the upcoming completion of an X across the U.S. midsection by the April 8, 2024, eclipse point to another catastrophe in the months afterward?

Is this just an uncanny coincidence or something more ominous?

Final Warning?

I believe this year’s solar eclipse, which will complete an X over the U.S., signifies the nearness of God’s judgment. I say this for a couple of reasons.

First, we live during a time of unprecedented moral decay in the U.S. that has corrupted the majority of politicians in our government. Despite the reversal of Roe versus Wade, the shedding of innocent blood continues and now exceeds a total of sixty-two million babies murdered in the womb since 1973. Both sex trafficking and pedophilia continue unabated in the U.S., with the Biden administration unashamedly promoting the LGBTQ+ agenda both in America and all across the world.

The U.S. President is putting extreme pressure on Israel to give up its pursuit of the Hamas terrorists and agree to a two-state solution, which he says is the only path to peace. The Bible, however, tells us that the Lord will deal harshly with any nation that pursues such a policy that results in the dividing of His Land.

Second, we live in the shadow of the seven-year Tribulation when the entire earth will experience the fury of God’s wrath. Those who know and believe the words of biblical prophecy recognize the myriad of signs telling us that this time is ever so near. It’s certain that the Lord will bring much destruction to America during this time, but does the upcoming solar eclipse signify the nearness of this time? Is it God’s final warning to America? Only time will tell.

We know that the Lord’s wrath will fall on the U.S.; we just don’t know when. It could be this week, next month, this year, or later. We do know that at any moment, Jesus will come for His own, and sudden destruction will fall upon the unsuspecting world (1 Thessalonians 5:1-10).

If you have not yet put your trust in Jesus, please, please read my post, Jesus Is the Only Path to Eternal Life. In it, I explain how you can know that Jesus has forgiven all your sins and that you possess eternal life and with the sure hope of receiving an immortal and incorruptible body at Jesus’ appearing (1 Corinthians 15:48-54).

Please don’t delay; call upon Jesus while you may! Tomorrow may be too late to avoid the death and destruction that will sweep over the world.

The April 8, 2024, solar eclipse may not be the Lord’s final warning for an unsuspecting nation and world, but then again, it might be.

Man, you sound like a superstitious barbarian. Lunar eclipses foretell nothing.

“I suppose there is an increase in the chance of earthquakes as there should be greater gravitational pull with the sun, moon and earth lined up perfectly.
Beyond that the present day religious “end of earthers”, the man made climate change cultists, Millerites, Muggletonians, Hale Bop, and Jonestown cultists seem to have a lot in common.

Or the earth is going to end in April.”

Thank you for the life preserver. The Easter Bunny and Santa thank you as well.

“Little Egypt” is a name for southern Illinois, generally the part south of U.S. Highway 50. There isn’t any one town named Little Egypt.

And Mr. Brentner should know this, he grew up in Northern Illinois, Rockford, to be precise.

Time will tell on his prediction; wether this is God’s Plan or not, it will be interesting to see if it comes to pass.

We are also told to beware false prophets. This seems tailor made for apocalyptic predictions.

I know one thing for sure- if it does happen, it’s going to be disastrous.

This came to me:

“Matthew 13:11 - Jesus answered them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.”

Can it then end a day B4 tax day? It’d sure avert a lot of headaches!

Neither. Eclipses happen all the time. There’s another in October. 2 in 2026, 2 more in 2027. They look cool, but they don’t actually mean much of anything.

The Pantheon of gods in many cultures was associated with the planets. Christians recognize that Jesus is the Lord of Hosts.

Today’s ‘Christian’ culture:

Sun Day
Moon Day

You referenced Genesis and the Creation of the Lights in the Firmament as His 4th Day.
Sunday nor Moon Day are His 4th Day, so why does Christian culture separate the two lights and give each a day?

False God tiws day
False God woden’s day
False God thor’s day
False goddess frigg day

Saturn day

Yikes
Maybe humans haven’t really changed..
Even those who have a Bible to read

Yes, and the Southern Illinois University mascot is the “Salukis”, probably best known for Walt Frazier, but they have an excellent School of Aviation.

A few other references to Egypt are scattered about the area...

Curiously, maps of the centerline of totality this time vary a bit. One puts it over the main dam at Crab Orchard Lake, but most (I think - I haven’t canvassed all) put it slightly ( ~ 1/2 mile) North, over the emergency spillway. Nice (mowed periodically to keep it in grass) open field there — I bet it will be packed.

Local cabins are pretty much already booked, and, look at the rates! (Scroll down)

Oh, heck, lots of people in Northern IL don’t have a clue about Southern IL...

In the ‘70s, my Dad and I visited some relatives in Metropolis for some fishing.
I liked it there, but it is different, what surprised me was the strong Southern accent that everyone had. The locals had trot lines set across the river, and we caught a lot of gar- they were as numerous as carp are here.

We even ventured briefly across the Ohio into Paducah Kentucky for dinner.
Great fried fish and Hush Puppies!

It was a good time.

I was there from 70-72. Party school. But Bucky Fuller was there and I took his World Game class. Lived for 10.00 a month rent in a small geodesic dome just outside town. It was built next to an old farmhouse, on telephone pole stilts, with a trap door in the floor for an entrance. I used to park my VW bug under the come and climbed on the fender then hood to get inside. Yes I was a sort of hippie. Outhouse on the farm and a pump for water. Water jugs on the back porch for showers.

There are lots of nice places to explore in SI. Some over in SEMO, too: Johnson Shut-ins is great (especially on a hot day!)

Having grown up in flat Chicago I was loving southern Illinois. Did a lot of climbing, hiking, mushroom picking (morels), and it was the first time I saw a sky full of stars.
