It is interesting that as of November 5, 2013, the big sunspot AR1890 has a "beta-gamma-delta" magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares and it will be earth facing soon (by November the 8th? -- and see Hosea 8:13 below).  X-class solar flares are big. They are major events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation.  This information is from:  http://spaceweather.com/

It is also interesting to note that the number 1890 in Hebrew is "habhab: a gift" with one (1) occurrence at Hosea 8:13, and in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance is defined as an offering (By reduplication from Hebrew "yahab: to give" gift (in sacrifice), i.e., Holocaust -- offering.).

And what is a holocaust? According to Webster's dictionary: 1) a sacrifice consumed by fire; 2) a thorough destruction involving extensive loss of life, especially through fire. Correlating the number of the sunspot AR1890 and its one occurrence in Hosea 8:13 gives food for thought.  The coming judgment against the ungodly is destruction by fire, even as articulated at Revelation 18:8. The 8th is a day after Billy Graham's sermon scheduled for broadcast in these United States on November 7th where, I assume, a call for repentance and revival will go forth.  Ninevah initially repented and was initially not destroyed. The United States has yet to repent. Could a holocaust of fire from the sun come quickly on the 8th of November of 2013, alluding to 8:13 of Hosea?

Hosea 8 King James Version (KJV)

8 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

² Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.

³ Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

⁴ They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.

⁵ Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?

⁶ For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

⁷ For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.

⁸ Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.

⁹ For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

¹⁰ Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.

¹¹ Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

¹² I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.

¹³ They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the Lord accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

¹⁴ For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

He promises to protect His people: Psalm 91.

All for the glory of God in the name of Christ Jesus to bear much eternal fruit.
