"Elul marked the beginning of a period of 40 days that Moses prayed for God to forgive the people for worshipping the golden calf. " https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/93188/major-solar-eclipse-recalling-egyptian-plague-darkness-divine-message-us/#bK3gMOzPJ1piox8K.97 "On August 21, a total solar eclipse will mark a trail from the Northwest US to the Southeast Atlantic Seaboard. The eclipse will occur on the last day of the Hebrew month Av, a day known as Yom Kippur Katan, the “small day of repentance.” The morning after the eclipse, (beginning the month of Elul) Jews will begin blowing the shofar every morning for a 40-day period of profound repentance leading up to Yom Kippur. This corresponds to the 40 days Moses was on Mount Sinai atoning for the Jewish people." https://www.yahoo.com/news/last-total-solar-eclipse-america-163200108.html "The year that our nation declared its independence, in 1776, was the last time a total solar eclipse occurred only over the United States and in no other country, just as it will do next month." The timing of the 2017 eclipse coinciding with Jewish dates of repentance, and remembering the 1776 eclipse, makes it seem like God is warning Americans to repent. Perhaps this is also a warning of impending doom for America; Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur also represent time for God's judgment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosh_Hashanah "Rosh Hashanah is also the day of "Yom Hadin", known as Judgment day. On Yom Hadin, 3 books are opened, the book of life, for the righteous among the nations, the book of death, for the most evil who receive the seal of death, and the third book for the ones living in doubts with non-evil sins. The final judgment is not done from Yom Hadin before the start of Yom Kippur, it is sometimes possible to receive the seal of life by asking for forgiveness."
