Hi John,

As you know, Mercury transits the sun on 11-8.  Mercury of course represents
the archangel Gabriel... in front of the sun (bridegroom - Ps 19:5) - a
heavenly picture of 1st Thes 4:16,17.  The full transit takes 4 hours and 58
minutes.

The UTC times are below -

 During the transit the diameter of Mercury looks very small as it quickly
moves (transits) across the Sun. The entire transit event lasts approximately 4
hours and 58 minutes.
