"According to the Ahmaddiya movement, one of the signs which will indicate
the emergence of al-Mahdi will be that in the month of Ramadan prior to his
emergence two eclipses will occur, one of the sun and one of the moon, both
being visible from the Middle East and Arabia. These signs are said to have
been visible right after the claim of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to be the Promised
Messiah and Mahdi, and are supposed to happen again during Ramadan AH 1426
(roughly October 2005). These claims are disputed by many non-Ahmadi
Muslims."

It is also curious to note that the dates of the solar and lunar eclipse
land on very special Jewish holidays. The solar eclipse is on October 3rd
which is Rosh Hashanah

Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah points to the future day when the Messiah returns to
rescue the righteous from the wicked

The partial lunar eclipse lands on October 17th or Sukkat according to my
calender

Tabernacles/Sukkot points to the future day when the Messiah sets up the
Messianic Kingdom and tabernacles/dwells among men.

I do believe that there certaily will be some spectacular event but not
necessarily the 7 city nuke thing. I think that is reserved for a later
date. I do suspect that it will involve LA just as they have threatened.
Anyone in LA listening, got another place to go, got a plan, got a motorcyle
to avoid the rush?
