"And there shall
be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the
stars..." Luke 21:25. Have these last days "signs"
started? Are we approaching the start of the Tribulation
period this year, 2024?
Signs in the
Heavens:
April 8, 2024,
is total solar eclipse over the U.S. This involves
the sun and the moon. The sun will be darkened and
the moon will not give its light. It's a new
moon. Total solar eclipses are omens or harbingers
of doom. The U.S. has an X over it's heartland -
where the total solar eclipses of 2017 and 2024 cross.
April 4, 2024,
four planets will make a 'planetary alignment'.
Venus, Neptune, Saturn and Mars. Neptune will not be
visible to the naked eye.
There are
several planetary conjunctions (when two or more planets
appear close to each other in the sky - this is an optical
illusion, as these planets are really very far away from
each other) around the time of the eclipse:
March 21,
2024, Venus and Saturn will be in conjunction in
the constellation Aquarius.
"Aquarius
represents the waterman, the Water of Life poured out on
the redeemed."
"Aquarius
represents blessing out of victory, Messiah the Living
Water."
The three
decans of Aquarius are Piscis - "the Living Water received
in fullness"; Pegasus - "the soon return of the Redeemer";
Cygnus - "the sure return of the Redeemer".
April 3, 2024,
Venus and Neptune will be in conjunction in the
constellation of Pisces.
"Pisces
represents the fishes, the blessings of salvation delayed."
"Pisces
represents deliverance out of bondage, Messiah the
Liberator."
The three
decans of Pisces are The Band - "the Redeemed bound";
Andromeda - "the redeemed in bondage and affliction";
Cepheus - "the deliverer coming to rule".
April 10,
2024, Mars and Saturn will be in conjunction in
the constellation Aquarius.
April 20,
2024, Jupiter and Uranus will be in conjunction
in the constellation Aries.
"Aries
represents the Lamb, deliverance is realized."
"Aries
represents glory out of humiliation, Messiah the Crowned
Lamb."
The three
decans of Aires are Cassiopeia - "freed and preparing for
her marriage to her Deliverer"; Cetus - "the great enemy
subdued and bound"; Perseus - "the mighty Deliverer".
April 29,
2024, Mars and Neptune will be in conjunction in
the constellation Pisces.
I am sure
there is a story being told in the above constellations,
alignments and conjunctions. "Each of
the twelve signs (constellations) pictorially represents
a prophetic event in relation to the unfolding story of
salvation in the history of the world. Associated
with each of the twelve were three other signs called
decans, which give part of the sign's message."
Biblical
Astronomy – The Gospel In The Stars – The Scriptural
Calendar
Some believe
that as we get closer to the eclipse that there will be an
escalation of earthquakes, storms, weather anomalies,
cyberattacks, societal breakdown (as in more and more
homicides, rapes, looting, etc.)
This eclipse
is DEFINITELY a warning sign to America.
Forty
Day and Three Day Double Warning:
Jean Stepnoski
had an interesting letter 18 Feb 2024 where she wrote
about the 'double sign of Jonah' - I certainly had not
thought about that! Thank you, Jean for writing
about this: Will the double warnings come
before the April 8 Total Solar Eclipse or after?
Instead of
adding 40 days of warning to after April 8, 2024 - look at
40 days before that. Using two signs of Jonah - the
three day one and the forty day one. This would take
us to 2/24, 2/25 Purim Lots. A total period of 43
days before April 8, 2024. A "double sign of
Jonah".
Torah
Calendar
Subtracting
40 days from April 8 takes us to February 28,
2024. Subtracting 43 days takes us to February 25,
2024 - Purim Lots on the Torah Calendar. Very
interesting date to land on!
Then for the
other side of April 8 - adding 40 days takes us to May 18,
2024. Adding 43 days takes us to May 21, 2024.
The Torah
Calendar has 1 Nisan on March 11. Other Hebrew
calendars have April 8 as 1 Nisan because they have added
a 13th month, Adar II, to 'correct' the calendar; IF April
8 is 1 Nisan, then ten days later is April 18 - the day
Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem. 14/15 days
later is April 22/23 - Passover.
Torah
Calendar:
On the Torah
calendar, the Spring Equinox falls after the new moon of
March and before the middle of the month. "The Sages
were expert astronomers. If it (the spring equinox)
were to fall later than the first half of Nissan (on the
16th or later) then the year was automatically declared a
leap year." The highest rabbinical court - the
Sanhedrin - declared a leap year. So,
according to this information, for this year, the
Sanhedrin would NOT have declared this a leap year.
The calendar would stand with no extra month. Making
the Torah calendar the correct calendar for 2024. (I
like this calendar over the other ones.)
The Spring
Equinox is March 20, 2024. In the 4th century CE,
the sage Hillel II and his rabbinical court established
this calendar with 19 year cycles - each having 7 leap
years. Because "the central courts would soon crumble and
ad hoc declaration of leap years would no longer be
viable." So, they just made it a 19 year cycle with
set years in the cycle receiving the extra month.
(This was man's decision to adjust the years this way.)
13
Facts About Jewish Leap Years - Chabad.org
"Because the
sum of 12 lunar months is about 11 days shorter than the
solar year, a 13th month is periodically added to keep the
calendar in step with the astronomical seasons."
This extra
month is added after the month of Shevat and before the
month of Adar. So the month of Adar becomes Adar
II. A leap year occurs 7 times in a 19 year
cycle. "By employing this system, the Jewish calendar
deviates from the solar year by 1 day in 216 days.
The
Jewish or Hebrew Leap Year
On the Torah
Calendar, 11/12 March is 1 Nisan and ten days later is 20
Mar (Spring Equinox) /21 Mar. Passover is 24 Mar/25
Mar. Using the Torah Calendar, April 8,2024 is on the
new moon for the month of Iyar. I still see the April
8 Total Solar Eclipse as a sign for America - a
harbinger. It does not have to fall on the first day
of the Hebrew calendar to be of even more significance, or
to be a warning for America. And I will be looking for
the prophetic clock starting on 10 Nisan - March 20/21 on
the Torah Calendar.
I believe that
all of these goings on in the Heavens are indeed the signs
we were told to watch for and be aware of. Add these
to all the other signs/birth pains going on. And this
total solar eclipse over America will be the biggest
harbinger of all!!
Pray for the
peace of Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
