Eclipse at Dawn - Isaiah 13:10The Sun will be darkened at its risingThe eclipse on 22 July takes a very interesting twist when you discover that it starts at dawn (at the rising of the Sun) - see note from hermit.org below - The total eclipse begins at local dawn! Isaiah 13:10 (see below in context) clearly refers to a darkening of the Sun - at its rising! Could this be the long ago prophesied eclipse that will herald the Day of the Lord! Remember, the eclipse date of 22 July may be a precursor to imminent events – the day itself may or may not be cataclysmic. I have also included a previous letter on Eclipses Point to Rosh Hashanah below.Isaiah 13: 9 Behold, the day of the Lord is coming!--fierce, with wrath and raging anger--to make the land and the [whole] earth a desolation and to destroy out of it its sinners. 10For the stars of the heavens and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be darkened at its rising and the moon will not shed its light. 11And I, the Lord, will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their guilt and iniquity; I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible and the boasting of the violent and ruthless.Asia (www.hermit.org/Eclipse) The (22 July) total eclipse begins at local dawn, 00:51:17 UT on July 22 in the Arabian Sea, just off the coast of India. The path is already over 200km wide here, and the eclipse will last 3 minutes 30 seconds. It crosses over central India, and passes between Nepal and Bangladesh, clips Bhutan and Myanmar, and then enters China. It crosses right over China to the coast around Hangzhou, at around 01:40 UT. By this time the path width is up to 249km, and the total eclipse lasts 5 minutes 56 seconds on the centreline.Eclipses Point to Rosh Hashanah! (10 July)60 day gap in 2008, 2009 and 2010In my musings on eclipses my mind tracked its way to the three total solar eclipses in 2008, 2009 and 2010. There is something very interesting in these three total solar eclipses - each one is 60 days before Rosh Hashanah (as summarised in the table below). These appear to be bracketed by the Grand Designer of the Universe and herald the Coming of the Lord!! And the magnification of the power of the Antichrist! What is also important is that there are no total solar eclipses in the surrounding years - 2007 and 2011. One is past, one is imminent and one is yet to come. Our time is drawing near, and I think that these three eclipses taken together set borders on the timeframe for the Rapture!One is past: (30 September 2008) The Dow fall on 29 September 2008 (the eve of Rosh Hashanah) was the catalyst for what is probably the greatest collapse in world wealth in history, and consequential geo-political changes - that are still gathering pace! One is imminent: (19-29 September 2009) what must the once in a century 22 July 2009 eclipse foreshadow? Rapture or revival? Birth pangs get stronger and more frequent as the birth draws near! Whatever is ahead will shake the entire Earth!! Events leading up to Rosh Hashanah are likely to be increasingly dramatic – as the invisible hand of God becomes more visible!The solar eclipse that will take place on Wednesday, July 22, 2009 will be a total eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 1.080. This solar eclipse is the longest total solar eclipse that will occur in the twenty-first century, and will not be surpassed in duration until June 13, 2132. Totality will last for up to 6 minutes and 39 seconds.One is yet to come (9 September 2010) There are prophetic Scriptures that may be fulfilled in this time period, including Isaiah 47, Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, Isaiah 13. It may be a roller coaster ride at times - but the last upward trajectory will be into the arms of Jesus, Everesting in His Love! The ecstasy of the Rapture! Maranatha!!!!!!!
