Hi John and Doves,
I am writing this as the eclipse is beginning in north America. If we are still here tomorrow, then my scripture-led beliefs are correct. As correct as my human brain and spirit can be. As I have posted before, it's my understanding - from scripture - that 'the child' in Revelation 12, is our LORD Jesus Christ. He has been serving as our continual, daily sacrifice in the Heavenly Temple, ever since His brutal crucifixion. Today, He will leave the Heavenly Temple and be whisked up to the Throne Room of God. LORD Jesus will no longer be our sacrifice but will take His rightful place on the heavenly Throne Room. He will then be handed The Scroll and begin opening the 7 seals.
In Revelation 4, we are introduced to the Throne Room. In Revelation 5, our LORD Jesus appears in the Throne Room looking like a sacrifice. Like a 'lamb who has been slaughtered'. He takes His seat and begins opening the seals. He is no longer serving as our continual, daily sacrifice but is seated on the Throne. In other words - judgement has come. After LORD Jesus is birthed out of the Heavenly Temple and whisked up to the Throne Room - this world will be in even more chaos. We no longer have 'a restrainer'. It is our LORD Jesus who has restrained rampant evil, thus far. I have prayed long and hard about this, Doves. The days ahead are going to be brutal. The 7 Seals will be opened. Please be assured that scripture tells us we will be protected. We are NOT appointed to wrath - which is truly on the horizon.

Understand that Israel is now 75 years old. There are not another 7 years left. At most, there are 5 years left. Which brings Israel to 80 years old - the length of a generation ' if by strength'. We can try kicking the can further down the road to accomodate a '7 year tribulation' but this is beyond a stretch. The 6th seal has WRATH being unleashed in verse 17. Again - we are NOT appointed to wrath.

The Great Multitude appear in Heaven in Revelation 7:9., which I am scripturally led to believe is the rapture. There will be a massive earthquake - brought about, I believe, by the resurrection of the dead. Which is preceded by LORD Jesus' feet landing on the Mount of Olives.

As I write, NASA will be launching rockets at the periphery of this annular solar eclipse to, ostensibly, measure changes to the atmosphere during the eclipse. Hmmm!
NASA will fire 3 rockets directly at the solar eclipse on Saturday. Here's why. | Live Science
Yesterday, October 13th, NASA's Psyche mission was launched to explore an asteroid that is, apparently, worth a kings ransom.
We must brace ourselves for a huge war to break out in the next days.
Praying for the peace of Jerusalem.
Please come, LORD Jesus. PLEASE.
