Hello John, Fay, and Doves,
Looking at a mix of
topics in this letter - eclipses, the prophets Jonah and
Micah and the number 40.
Fay had a letter last
week (25 Oct 2020) about a total solar eclipse on
12/14/2020. In her letter she wrote: "On
December 14th, a total solar eclipse is due to
occur. This solar eclipse marks the exact half way
point between the great American solar eclipse of August
21st, 2017 and the next American solar eclipse on April
8th,2025."http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2020/fay1025-6.htm

This
eclipse being the 'exact' mid-point is
interesting. My 40 day date was December 13th -
counting 40 days starting with November 4th...I was just
wondering if a 40 day count might lead us to an
interesting date. If I didn't include November
4th, the 40 day count would have ended on 12/14/2020.
When the Pharisees asked
Jesus for a 'sign', Jesus said "An evil and adulterous
generation seeks after a sign, No sign will be
given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah."
Matthew 12:39
On June 15th, 763BC when
King Shur-Dan II was king of Assyria and King Jeroboam II
was king of Israel, there occurred one of the most famous
ancient solar eclipses. The Prophet Jonah lived
during the reign of these two kings. It is believed
that it is this solar eclipse that pushed the king of the
Ninevites and the people of Nineveh to repent when Jonah
gave them the God's message of repent or face destruction
in 40 days. Nineveh had already gone through a
recent plague and an internal revolt, so this eclipse and
Jonah's warning from God were 'the last straw' - the king
of Nineveh ordered all to repent in sackcloth and ashes.
And destruction was averted...this time.
Nineveh was given 40
days to repent.
In
thetreeofliberty website "The Sign of Jonah - and a
Period of 40 Months" is discussed. This article
looks at a 40 month period instead of a 40 day period
and has info on various famous eclipses. 40 months from the Great American solar
eclipse of 2017 is December 2020. August 21, 2017
to December 21, 2020 - which is the Feast of
Micah. Micah was the sixth of the Minor
Prophets.
The
Sign of Jonah – and a Period of 40 Months
The Feast of Micah is on the first day of
winter: December 21. "Micah was a Jewish
prophet in Judah and is the author of the Old Testament
book of Micah....he lived at roughly the same time as
the prophets Isaiah, Amos, and Hosea. Micah's
prophecies focused on Jerusalem...It was Micah who
prophesied that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem
(Micah 5:2)

The
Prophet Micah - Thursday, December 21
I have sent several
letters to Doves where I referred to Micah chapter 7,
where Micah writes "Woe is me! He goes to pick
grapes/figs but the harvest has taken them. The faithful,
the good people have vanished from the land;
there is no one upright among the people. All of
them wait in ambush to shed blood; they hunt each other
with a net; both hands are good at accomplishing evil; do
not put trust in your neighbor; guard the doors of your
mouth from her who lies in your arms; a man's enemies are
the men of his own household; the day of your
watchman has come; now is the time of
confusion/panic.
It is very interesting
that 40 months from the Great American eclipse takes us to
December 2020, specifically December 21, 2020 - the Feast
of Micah.
Micah, the prophet,
writes about, what I believe is, the Rapture and the
aftermath for the Jewish people. The harvest of the fruits
has occurred - the good people are 'missing'/the
Rapture/The harvest. The watchmen have announced the
day - the Lord has come in the clouds - the day we are
told to 'watch' for Him. There is panic and
confusion as they do not understand what has happened -
millions of people are missing - the good people are
missing. The Jewish people are left in a world of evil
people, that are out for blood and can't be trusted.
This is why, Micah says "Woe is
me!!! The harvest has taken place! The
Rapture has come! Their only hope now is God - "I
will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear
me." At the Second Coming.
The Rapture will have
already happened before Micah goes out to
the vineyards/fields. In Israel, all of the harvests
are over - all of the fruits and grains have been
harvested. Will the Rapture occur before the 40th
day, the 40th month? Before December, 2020? I
certainly hope so.
Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
