Because of the Great American Eclipse, that took place August 21, 2017, I learned some things about solar eclipses that have me very concerned about the future of America. I looked into the history of solar eclipses and learned that bad things often happen with significant total solar eclipses.
Total solar eclipses were often seen as harbingers of apocalypse by ancient cultures. In Genesis 1:14 God says that the sun and moon were created for light and for “signs.” In the Hebrew it means a signal, or flag. So God is saying that he intends to give mankind signals using the sun and moon.
One of the most important signals is the total solar eclipse. Science tells us that the total solar eclipse is unique in the solar system. The only way such an event happens is because the size of the moon is just perfect in relation to its distance from the sun, and its distance from earth, so that it perfectly fits over the sun when viewed from earth.
I personally would expect to see a total eclipse on a regular basis, just like the phases of the moon, but they appear at different times and different locations. Scientists know how to calculate when and where they will be, but they are not regular.
If you look at a picture of the path of the total solar eclipse of 2017, and the path of the total solar eclipse that is coming in 2024, the two paths form an X like what is on the Confederate flag.
I carefully counted all the states that will see the 2024 eclipse, and if the path in the picture is totally accurate, it will pass through or at least touch 13 states, the number of states in the Confederacy, and the number of stars on the Confederate flag.
It goes through the heart of Texas, the corner of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, the western edge of Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, the corner of Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The 2017 eclipse only affected America, but the 2024 also crosses Mexico and the tip of Canada.
There have been people predicting another U.S. civil war for several decades, so when I saw the map of the U.S. with both solar eclipses on it, it hit me, “That is like the Confederate flag!” Is God painting a confederate flag over the United States?
(2) Historical Events
Now let’s look at some historical information about total solar eclipses. According to Mark Biltz, the city of Nineveh had a plague one year, followed by a war the next year, followed by another plague the next year, followed by a total solar eclipse on June 15, 763 B.C. Then the prophet Jonah showed up and called them to repent or be destroyed. So now we can understand why the people of Nineveh repented at the preaching of Jonah. God had already sent repeated judgments and a warning by an eclipse, so they were ready to repent.
Since God said he will give us signals, then the total eclipses of the last century should be connected to significant events here on earth, and this has happened. The once large Ottoman Empire had already lost its domains in North Africa in the 1800s, so not much was left. Then on June 28, 1914 Archduke Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated in Hungary, sparking World War 1. The first declaration of war came after a month of diplomacy on July 28, and the first conflict was on August 4th.
Then on August 21, 1914 a total eclipse occurred over the Eastern European nations of Belarus and Ukraine that continued down through modern Turkey and touched the northern edges of Syria and Iraq. Turkey, Syria and Iraq were about 80% of what was left of the Ottoman Empire, with the addition of Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, and the Western edge of Arabia.
It was during WW1 that the Ottoman Empire came to its end, leaving only Turkey, then the nations of the Middle East were formed as they are today. So was this total eclipse at the start of this war just a coincidence? I do not believe it was.
There was another total eclipse four years later; this one went all the way across the continental United States on June 8th, 1918. It went from Florida through Mississippi, Oklahoma, then up through Oregon and Washington. Was there anything related to the U.S. that happened that year? Yes, in Jan. 1918 the worldwide influenza epidemic began that killed 50-100 million people. It was the deadliest plague in human history. Most researchers believe that it likely began in the United States, though some believe it started in Asia, or Europe.
[A] first wave of influenza appeared early in the spring of 1918 in Kansas and in military camps throughout the US. Few noticed the epidemic in the midst of the war. (The Influenza Pandemic of 1918, https://virus.stanford.edu/uda/)
The American military took the virus to Europe where it spread quickly to many nations, making it a global epidemic, even reaching Pacific islands and the Arctic. An estimated 675,000 Americans died of the epidemic, more than died in WW1 and WW2 combined.
The epidemic only lasted about a year, and ended suddenly. In Philadelphia, 4,597 people died the second week of October, but less than a month later it had almost disappeared. (The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, John M. Barry, p. 370)
The first wave of the disease was not as powerful as the second wave that came in the fall, and killed very quickly. This means that the majority of the deaths likely occurred in less than six months.
It was called the Spanish Flu because most of Europe censored press reports about it because of the war. But Spain was not in the war and so it appeared that the epidemic had hit there much harder because of more press coverage.
There was a total eclipse of the sun on May 29, 1919 across the nation of Brazil. That year Epitácio Pessoa became president. Even though Brazil prospered during WW1, his presidency was marked by military revolts. Troubles continued well after his term until there was a revolution in 1930.
These eclipses do not cause tragic things to happen, but I believe God often sends them as signs. In other words, God is saying that he is watching and knows what is happening, and that everything is under his control. Sometimes he may even be saying that he is causing the events.
(3) The Great American Eclipse
So now we come to what was called the Great American Eclipse of 2017 that occurred August 21, and was seen only in the United States, no other countries! So does this mean that something momentous is going to happen involving America? It is very probable.
Notice that the WW1 eclipse came on the exact same day as the Great American Eclipse of 2017. Was this also a sign? A warning to America? The first movements and conflict of WW1 came just days before the eclipse, and in the U.S. there was a major conflict between the far right and the far left in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12th.
Far right racist groups had a permit to march against the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee, a general of the first U.S. Civil War. But a far left group, called “Antifa,” blocked the street to prevent them from marching into the park. Both sides knew what was going to happen, and both sides came armed with clubs, mace, pepper spray, shields, and helmets.
The far-right groups pushed through the blockade, thus violence began. But where was the police? The mayor and the governor, both Democrats, knew that this would happen, but the police were told to stand down and let it happen so they could blame the violence on the far right, and thus on everyone that voted for President Trump, since the Democrats have labeled everyone who voted for Trump as right-wing racists. Of course, both sides were responsible, like President Trump said, and his words caused outrage among the left.
If the only place you get your news is from evening network TV news shows, you are not being told the entire truth. All they reported was that a car driven by one of the far right marchers rammed into a crowd of “counter-protestors” and killed a girl. Those “counter-protestors” were Antifa and several other socialist / Communist groups.
Since then there have been massive protests in several cities across America, but those are also barely reported on. These protests are calling for an end to free speech in America. Free speech is something that has been one of the most cherished freedoms this country has ever had.
The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld the right of people to speak freely, even when other people do not like what is being said. But the Democrats have been trying for years to remove free speech. Former president Obama tried to outlaw criticism of Islam. I could go on a long time on this topic, but I will make it short. George Washington said, "If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."
Antifa claims to be Anti-fascists, but they use violence to stop anyone and any speech they do not agree with, so they are the fascists. They are also anti-capitalism and anti-government, in other words, Communists/Socialists. (More on the division in America, later).
(4) The Civil War Eclipse
So now we come to the next eclipse of April 8, 2024, which is less than 7 years from the latest eclipse. While other people are/were obsessed with the constellation Virgo and planets of Sept. 23-24, hoping for the Rapture, God is painting a huge sign right across the entire continental United States that looks similar to a Confederate flag, which means it is pointing to civil war.
Does this mean the next civil war will begin in 2024? Or does it mean we will have civil war until 2024? When you consider what is happening in our nation today, I am concerned enough to see it as a warning. I believe we should all take it as a warning from God and prepare.
(5) Little Egypt
The region of the U.S. that is covered by the center of the X, where the two paths cross, is mostly in southern Illinois, in an area known as “Little Egypt.” The most often given cause for the name is because it had bountiful grain harvests at a time when the northern part of the state had a freeze that destroyed their crops. So the south supplied what the north needed, much like what happened in the Bible when Egypt stored grain and sold it during a famine. There are even place names associated with Egypt, such as a city named Cairo.
Egypt had three days of darkness, which was the 9th plague that came just before the final plague, which was the death of every firstborn human and animal. So is God trying to warn us of coming death?
The region was also the location of a blood feud between some families that resulted in 495 assaults, including the murder of 285 people between 1839-1876. Since it is on the border of the South, when the Civil War broke out, some of the people went for the North and some for the South. So does this have any significance for us? The region contained a lot of division and conflict of ideas and politics, much like what is happening in our nation today.
It also appears to contain the Wabash Valley earthquake fault zone. And the eclipse of 2017 touched the western edge of the New Madrid fault zone. Are there earthquakes coming?
