Message of the Eclipse

As we were watching the eclipse, I read a few facts I had found about it to my family.

They are quite interesting-

1- The last time a total solar eclipse was seen ONLY within the area of the United States was in 1776 - the year of the BEGINNING of our nation!

2- The eclipse happened on the 9th (29th) of the Hebrew month of Av. (One website I found said it was the 9th and another said it was the 29th). Anyway, they reported that it was the very same day that the Children of Israel built the Golden Calf and were destroyed because of it.

3- The eclipse crossed over 3 major earthquake areas of the U.S. - the Cascadia (Oregon Coast), Yellowstone, and New Madrid (near the Mississippi River) Zones. There is only one other major earthquake zone in the U.S., which is the San Andreas, but it can be triggered by the Cascade.

4- The path of the eclipse divides the nation in half.

 

5- During totality 4 planets can be seen, Mercury, Venus, Mars, & Jupiter. (We only saw one, most likely Venus, but seeing the totality was well worth the drive to witness it!)

 

6- The temperature during totality can drop as much as 25 degrees. (It was very interesting to see the light and temperature changes).

 

7- A total solar eclipse can ONLY be seen from earth because of the exact dimensions and space between the moon & earth that Heavenly Father set in place when His Son created the Earth!

 

8- The path of totality passed over 9 LDS Temples.

 

9- There was a total solar eclipse over Europe on 8-21-1914, which was just 2 months into WW1 in Europe.

 

10- The very MINUTE the 2017 eclipse started in the U.S. was the EXACT minute of sunset in Jerusalem. (7:16 in Israel).

 

11- We are now in the Hebrew year of 5777, a symbol for "Year of Completion".

 

12- Our Sun is 5778 Kelvin. Could it just be a coincidence that the Hebrew year of 5778 is a month away?

 

13- Another total solar eclipse will occur in 7 years (2024) in which the path of totality will CROSS over the path of this eclipse making an X. This will happen on 4-8-2024, where the Ohio & Mississippi Rivers join and DIVIDE THE LAND. Read Isaiah 18:7 & Revelations 16: 17-20.

 

14- The path of totality crosses over 7 cities named Salem (shortened form of Jerusalem) -

Salem OR, ID, WY, NE, MO, KY, & SC. 

 

15- Genesis 1:14 - The Lord tells us that the sun, moon, & stars are placed in the heaven for light, AND TO BE SIGNS for us. (The word Seasons in Hebrew refers to God's Holy Days, not Fall, Spring, etc.)

 

16- Read the heading for Luke 21. Christ is telling us that there will be more signs in the heavens before His Second Coming.

 

17- It is exactly 33 days between this eclipse and the fulfillment of the prophecy in Revelations 12. A significant number, as Christ lived for 33 years on this earth.
