Eclipse Part 4: It's About to Get Biblical--Get Ready to Rumble

How Lunar and Solar Eclipses Shed Light on Biblical Events
In the closing days of his life, Herod the Great was presented with a crisis called the Golden Eagle Incident. Herod had placed a golden eagle over the entrance to the Temple. Although he professed that it was an offering dedicated to the Lord, it was regarded as a desecration of the Temple by two rabbis, Matthias and Judas, who provoked a group of more than 40 individuals into pulling down the eagle. Herod’s soldiers captured and executed many of the participants; Matthias and Judas were burned alive. After relating this sordid incident, Josephus comments that the night after Matthias and Judas were executed by burning, there was an eclipse of the moon (Antiquities 17.6.2-4/17.149-167).

This means there was a BLOOD Moon that night.

This is the only reference to a lunar eclipse in all the writings of Josephus. Perhaps a modern historian would not have mentioned it, judging that an astronomical event like an eclipse is independent of the activities of man, unless it preceded some important occasion such as a battle and so influenced a decision such as whether or not to go to war. In the ancient world, however, an eclipse was regarded as an omen or portent whenever it happened.

 For Josephus, the eclipse on the night after Herod put to death the two protesters was a sign of displeasure from God. This is shown by the fact that Josephus describes, immediately after the mention of the eclipse, Herod’s physical suffering, a suffering from which he could find no relief until his death at some time between the eclipse and Passover. In the Antiquities passage, the eclipse and Herod’s torment signified the same thing: God’s solemn judgment on Herod after he put to death individuals more righteous than himself.

Between the Eclipse and Passover Herod dies for the persecution of God's people and the innocent blood he shed.

Interest Herod put a golden eagle on the temple the Jews worshiped in and an Ishtar-looking golden statue was placed upon the New York City Courthouse. It's that same spirit that wants to lift itself above Almighty God.

A golden eagle is placed upon a temple where worship occurs of God, an Ishtar-looking statue is placed atop the courthouse in NYC which is where the seat of the Judge is.

Because this foul ancient blasphemous spirit wants to be worshiped above God and desires to usurp the law!!

Between the Eclipse and Passover is 14 days, which is double 7s. Watch this 14-day window closely I believe this is going to be a volatile window that will only increase after Passover.

Jonah and the Bur-Sagale Eclipse
Another famous eclipse, this time of the sun, may have played a part in the account of Jonah and the Ninevites. The time of Jonah’s preaching in Nineveh can only be estimated very generally from the Bible. Second Kings 14:25 says that Jeroboam II, king of Israel, restored the northern and eastern borders of Israel according to the word of the Lord spoken by the prophet Jonah, son of Amittai. Jeroboam II began a coregency with his father Jehoash in 793/92 BC and reigned alone from 782/81 to late summer or early fall of 753 (Thiele 1983: 116; McFall 1991: 45; Young 2005: 245). Assuming that Jonah’s prophecy of restoration came early in the reign of Jeroboam, Jonah’s ministry would have been in the first half of the eighth century BC, i.e. from about 793 to 750 BC. During this time the Assyrian Eponym Canon records an eclipse of the sun that occurred in the eponym of Bur-Sagale, in the month of Simanu. Modern astronomical calculations date this eclipse to June 15, 763 BC (remember this date), and show it was a total eclipse as it passed near Nineveh. For historians, the importance of this eclipse is that it provided an absolute date that allowed assigning BC years to the yearly eponyms of the Assyrian Eponym Canon (AEC). The accuracy of the AEC dates was later confirmed when new inscriptions were found, and also when compared to the data derived from Ptolemy’s Canon for the century for which the Canon overlaps with the AEC, 747 to 648 BC (Thiele 1983: 71).

In 1872, J.R. Hind published a paper in the British scientific journal Nature in which he noted that the “moon was eclipsed on the generally received date of the Crucifixion, AD 33, April 3.” Bible scholars paid little or no attention to this observation because the best astronomical calculations available at the time showed that the eclipse would not have been visible from Jerusalem. In the 20th century, however, there was a major advance in the accuracy of historical astronomical calculations, due largely to studies of the change of the earth’s rate of rotation over the centuries. Using ancient astronomical observations from Babylon and China, the rate of slowing of the earth’s rotation is now known precisely enough so that the timing of events such as the rising of the moon or the sun as viewed from any point on earth and at any time in the last 2000 years can be known within about three minutes (Humphreys 2011: 90).

In 1981, a British scientist who had learned of the improvements in astronomical accuracy thought it might be interesting to revisit calculations for the eclipse of AD 33. Colin Humphreys, who was teaching at Oxford at the time, asked Oxford astrophysicist Graem Waddington to determine whether the lunar eclipse would have been visible at Jerusalem, and if so, at what time it would have been observed. Very fittingly, their findings were published in the same scientific journal that had published Hind’s study 111 years earlier (Humphreys and Waddington 1983). The results were as follows. Moonrise in Jerusalem on the evening of Friday, April 3 AD 33 was at about 6:20 p.m., right after sunset. The part of the moon that appeared first was in the full shadow (the umbra) of the earth. After several minutes, the remainder of the moon was seen; this lower part was in the partial shadow of the earth (the penumbra). The eclipse lasted until about 7:11 p.m., at which time the moon was restored to its usual brightness and coloration.

To Go back to the beginning of Genesis 7:11, Genesis 7 Noah is in the Ark! The Tebah, The covering that would take the beating so he would be covered.

Genesis 7:11   In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the [a]floodgates of the sky were opened.

This was the day the ark began to take the beating and Noah His family and the animals of the earth were saved and protected.

The Gospel writers describe further disturbances. At about noon darkness overtook the land that lasted for three hours. We are not told whether it was caused by clouds or a dust storm. Then at approximately 3 p.m., when the Figure on the central cross died, there was an earthquake—something that we no longer associate with divine displeasure, but which must have had this significance for at least one individual, a Roman centurion who was stationed near the cross of Jesus. With more insight and acuity than possessed by many modern critics of the Gospel accounts, this soldier concluded that the righteous man who had just died was truly God’s Son.

Matthew 27:45
 Now from the sixth hour (noon), there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.).

Genesis 7:11 Begins with the six hundredth year of Noah’s life.

In the sixth hour of Noah’s life, he entered the ark under God's command, and the ark and darkness came over the land because the ark began to take the beating of the flood and the heavy rain (which means the sun would have been covered by dark clouds) to protect Noah his family and creation, to redeem them from the wickedness that was in the earth.

Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the land, that darkness lasted 3 hours and at approx. 3 pm Jesus died.

Genesis 7-8
Water prevails on earth 150 days, it takes another 150 days in Genesis 8 for the water to abate or recede.

150+150=300

Darkness over the land 3 hours.

If you take a colon and put it in between 3:00 you get the time that Christ Died and redeemed us fully.

April 8, 2024, Eclipse is 6 years, 6 months, 6 weeks, and 6 days since the 2017 eclipse-
With the leap year, it is 6 days.

It would have been 6 years 6 months 6 weeks and 5 days without the LEAP which would equal 23 which is the first full day of Passover this year.

= 24 Passover this year begins April 22, 2024.

April 24 is during Passover.

2+4=6

2X4=8 2016 President Trump won the election, we are in the eighth year since he has been in office.

The Supreme Court is set to hear the presidential immunity case involving Donald Trump on April 25, 2024!! DURING PASSOVER

Also, Trump’s criminal hush money trial has been delayed until at least mid-April, which is that window between Purim and Passover, after the eclipse and on the heels of Passover.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/15/nyregion/trump-bragg-trial-date-delay.html

A New York judge on Friday delayed Donald J. Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan until at least mid-April, postponing the only one of Mr. Trump’s four criminal cases that appeared set to begin.

The delay — lasting 30 days from the judge’s Friday decision — stems from the recent disclosure of more than 100,000 pages of records that may have some bearing on the case. Citing the records, Mr. Trump’s lawyers sought a 90-day delay of the trial — or an outright dismissal — while the Manhattan prosecutors who brought the case proposed a postponement of up to 30 days.

The 2024 eclipse path will also pass over more cities and densely populated areas than the 2017 path did. This will make it easier for more people to see totality. An estimated 31.6 million people live in the path of totality this year, compared to 12 million in 2017. An additional 150 million people live within 200 miles of the path of totality.

150 million 1+5=6

6 is the month of June on our calendar.

In the 6th hour, darkness came over the land when Jesus hung on the Cross. (Remember these 2 things)

31.6 million people in the path of totality.

31.6 backwards is the date 6/13 watch around this date June 13th, the full solar Eclipse over Nineveh occurred approx. June 15th, this is no coincidence being this Eclipse passes over more than 8 cities named Nineveh in North America.

John 3:16
June. The 6th month has been named PRIDE Month. Is that any coincidence? NO, because these are ancient rulers of the darkness of this world we are dealing with.

Even further evidence in New York, where there is a lot of persecution happening, the start of the totality of the Eclipse is 3:16 PM!!!

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.

The Eclipse ends in New York 3:29 pm. New York Contains 1 of the Ninevehs, the last I believe before Canada.

3/29 March 29 2024 This year is a GOOD FRIDAY WHEN WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEATH OF JESUS Christ Yeshua ON THE CROSS!!!

When Jesus died and a great earthquake occurred it was approximately 3 pm on April 3rd watch for this.

The Lord is not only warning the nations, but also the Justice System in New York, This is a warning to them as well of who truly is going to have the victory, the Righteous Judge Almighty God! The Judges are being Judged, the leaders are being Judged by Almighty God and the people of the nation need to humble themselves!

Jesus himself said a wicked generation seeks a sign, there is no greater sign than Jonah.
And, this is a warning to leadership and those being persecuted, fully repent of everything you have done before the Lord that is displeasing and surrender yourself, your family, and all that you have to the Lord fully for the Lord to Redeem.

How is the 2017 Eclipse Different from the 2024 Eclipse

https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/skywatching/how-is-the-2024-total-solar-eclipse-different-than-the-2017-eclipse/

The path of totality – where viewers can see the Moon totally block the Sun, revealing the star’s outer atmosphere, called the corona – is much wider during the upcoming total solar eclipse than it was during the eclipse in 2017. As the Moon orbits Earth, its distance from our planet varies. During the 2017 total solar eclipse, the Moon was a little bit farther away from Earth than it will be during the upcoming total solar eclipse, causing the path of that eclipse to be a little skinnier. In 2017, the path ranged from about 62 to 71 miles wide. During the April eclipse, the path over North America will range between 108 and 122 miles wide – meaning at any given moment, this eclipse covers more ground.

The sun, and stars' outer atmosphere is called CORONA!!!

What happened 2.5 years after the Eclipse of 2017, The Great American Eclipse?

The Corona Virus, the plandemic, and all hell trying to break loose.

They are saying that the CORONA is much wider during the 2024 Eclipse!!!
MUCH WIDER!!!!`

Also, the Eclipse is on April 8, 2024 on our calendar, the Gregorian Calendar. However, on the Jewish Calendar, it is the month of Nisan, Nisan 1 to be exact.

This is the beginning of the Ecclesiastical Calendar! So on the first day of the Ecclesiastical year, the eclipse is happening!

Also being this Eclipse actually passes by more than 8 cities named Nineveh the book of Jonah comes into play which we discussed in the last broadcast pertaining to the 2024 Eclipse.

In the book of Jonah, the numerical value for great fish is because Jonah was swallowed by a great fish because he ran the 1st time when the Lord asked him to go to Nineveh, The numerical value of great fish is 50, which is the jubilee!!

The letter nun in the Hebrew Alphabet means fish/seed.

Meaning of Nun: Deceit 2. kingship 3. fish 4. miscarriage 5. Miracle

So A deception by the Kings will bring a miscarriage that will trigger a miracle.
The Letter Nun

This is the way it is written in torah roll script.

Leviticus 25:8-17
‘You are also to count off seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, so that you have the time of the seven Sabbaths of years, that is, forty-nine years. 9 You shall then sound a ram’s horn [b]abroad on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall sound a horn all through your land. 10 So you shall consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim [c]a release throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, [d]and each of you shall return to his own property, [e]and each of you shall return to his family. 11 You shall have the fiftieth year as a jubilee; you shall not sow, nor harvest its aftergrowth, nor gather grapes from its untrimmed vines. 12 For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its produce from the field. 13 ‘On this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his own property. 14 Furthermore, if you make a sale to your friend, or buy from your friend’s hand, you shall not [f]wrong one another. 15 Corresponding to the number of years after the jubilee, you shall buy from your [g]friend; he is to sell to you according to the number of years of crops. 16 In proportion to [h]a greater number of years you shall increase its price, and in proportion to [i] fewer years you shall decrease its price, because it is the number of crops that he is selling to you. 17 So you shall not [j]wrong one another, but you shall [k]fear your God; for I am the Lord your God.

The Year of Jubilee is the fiftieth year in a cycle of years (occurring after seven cycles of seven years each). The celebration of the jubilee years involved a time of sacred rest, liberation, and forgiveness.

The name comes from the instrument used to mark its launch. In this case, the instrument in question is the yobel, the ram's horn, used to proclaim the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). This (Jewish) holiday occurs every year, but it takes on special significance when it marks the beginning of a Jubilee year. We can find an early indication of it in the Bible: a Jubilee year was to be marked every 50 years since this would be an “extra” year, one which would happen every seven weeks of seven years, i.e., every 49 years (cf. Leviticus 25:8-13). Even though it wasn’t easy to organize, it was intended to be marked as a time to re-establish a proper relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation, and involved the forgiveness of debts, the return of misappropriated land, and a fallow period for the fields.

The Lord is calling us to repentance, forgiveness, and liberation this year and we must answer that call as a nation for this to completely turn.

On the day of this Eclipse, I am calling for the blowing of the shofars!! Go outside your home across the land and sound the shofar!! I am calling for it, we need to do this as God’s people and I do not care who doesn’t like it. This is the Lord’s business we must be about right now!!

Let me show you what else the Lord led me to!

The next blood moon will occur on March 13/14, 2025. The lunar eclipse will begin at 11:57 p.m. EST on March 13 (0357 GMT on March 14) and end at 6:00 a.m. EST (1000 GMT) on March 14.

Purim in 2025 is on Evening Thursday, March 13 to Friday, March 14. Purim is always celebrated for 2 days, so it will continue till March 15. Purim is a popular Jewish holiday. According to the Hebrew Calendar 2025, Purim is celebrated on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar.

That means the next blood moon is on PURIM!!!!!

During a lunar eclipse, Earth blocks the Sun’s light and casts a shadow on the moon.
A lunar eclipse happens when Earth is directly between the moon and Sun. Earth blocks the light coming from the Sun, casting a shadow on the moon. The shadow makes the moon appear much dimmer and sometimes turns the lunar surface a striking red. The moon appears red because the light that is illuminating it must pass through Earth’s atmosphere, which scatters blue light and bends (or refracts) red light toward the moon.  

763 BC eclipse map

Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from annihilation at the hands of a high up official of King Ahasuerus named Haman.  Events are recounted in the Book of Esther. Haman was the royal vizier to the Persian king Ahasuerus.
A vizier is a high official in some Muslim countries, especially in Turkey under Ottoman rule.

So This means we have a full Solar Eclipse Occurring this year between Purim and Passover, actually 14 days before the start of Passover, and a Blood Moon Occurring Purim 2025!!!

The last blood moon occurred on November 8, 2022, which was the midterm Elections, republicans took control of the House, and democrats took control of the Senate
17 months after this blood moon, on the midterms, on April 8, 2024, is the full solar eclipse!!

1+7=8

You have an 8 from April 8th.

2024 added together =8

Triple 8s!!! =24

March 24, 2024 is Purim
 24 + 24+ 2=50 The Jubilee!!! The same numerical value as the great Fish in the book of Jonah who had to Go to Nineveh to pronounce God’s Judgment.

Now also if you add 24 +24= 48

The 2028 presidential election would be for the 48th president of the United States, 2028 is the next Shemitah year, A Shemitah year on the Jewish calendar occurs every 7 years. It takes 7 Shemitah years to equal a Jubilee, 50 years.

The banking Crisis of 2008 happened in a Shemitah year.

The crisis occurred on September 15, 2008.

The Lord is most definitely speaking, the question is are we listening?!!

Thank you for your service to the Lord. I have been listening since the beginning of Covid. And anticipating great and mighty things in the days ahead.

Thank you for your heart to get this out! This has awakened my mother and I even more to what is truly happening in this hour. I wanted to pop on here and I’m a bit late, but there is a lunar eclipse Monday March 25th called the Worm Moon and then a comet that will pass by on April 8th or around that time called the Devils Comet due to the gas and ice it produces that causes it to change its image and now it has what looks like horns. There are MANY signs that God is trying to show us. I found a 8 hour shofar video that we will be playing on April 8th! My mom and I started fasting today and we won’t end til the end of April. Thank you and I pray blessing and safety over you and all of your staff! God bless!
