Not to fear monger or date set, but I have been led to believe personally (personal testimony) that some type of warning will occur to shake up the asleep Christians as well as non-believers before He comes on the 23rd. That is my belief, of course I could be wrong, but everything in me feels like I am not. I believe the eclipse on the 21st is tied to that warning.
Of course, speculation might not be the solution, but I am genuinely curious as to what you believe may be coming this month. Is it simply a sign or is there actual (pre) judgment attached to it, and if so, on what scale? I have my theory, but I also want to see what others think about what's coming up.

Wait and see. Prepare yourself and your family. Preach the Gospel (1 Cor 15:1-4; Isaiah 53). If it's a time of judgement, seek God and preach the Gospel. If nothing happens, it doesn't change the Sign on Sept 23rd which is a fulfillment in of itself, and preach the Gospel. Did I mention the Gospel?

At the very least, tens of millions of eyes will be fixed on Leo and Mercury, Mars, and Venus may also be visible in the area. The more people search on the eclipse the more they will stumble on the 9/23 sign - that is my hope anyway.
It seems like the situation is quickly deteriorating between the U.S. and N.K. and between China and India. Trump also issued a threat to Venezuela, so things are heating up. "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars..."
Some have also speculated that the dragon, whatever that may be, will make an appearance on 8/21, but I haven't seen anything yet that would convince me of that.

I think there is very likely to be an earthquake, although, again, I guess we'll have to wait and see. I think people will get more than they bargained for--I think men's hearts will fail within them for seeing the things that are about to be coming on the earth. Some "unexpected" specter of a dragon may very well be seen at the eclipse.
Then again, it may be just an eclipse. . . .

My scripturally unsupported thought is nothing will happen. I think it's a warning sign for the US, who will flat ignore it or become the naysayers all he more. Likely the latter.
Edit - I want to add as well...we can use this opportunity to share truth. I think a good way to relate this and the sign is to apply Luke 13 to share "be ready"

If you mean similar to the eclipse of that day, yes I think it's a warning of things coming with no immediate disaster. Although now with things coming to a boil with NK I could Kim using the eclipse as an opportunity/distraction to do something. Which would then ultimately be something happening during the eclipse, lol |

If there is a celestial body out there that 'does not belong'; and if it is anywhere near the sun, chances are its going to be seen by a very large number of people. A large enough number that there will no longer be any way of covering it up. |

Planet x? or that elusive cluster only seen by infrared?

Planet x? or that elusive cluster only seen by infrared? It doesn't really matter. If the Rev 12:3-4 sign, which follows the Rev 12:1-2 sign for confirmation, is anything celestial but the Draconids meteor shower on Oct 7-9 followed by comet 2012 TC4 on Oct 12, then the next logical celestial choice is some 'foreign' object which would need to be large enough to cause an eclipse that lasts longer than a few minutes (generally several hours). That eclipse would likely be the one referred to in scripture where it is written that the sun will be darkened upon rising. It isn't out of the question to suggest that such a scenario could occur on Sept 23, allowing for everyone to see the 'Great Sign'. Said object would most likely hit Jupiter soon after, and the debris field generated would be sufficiently large enough to allow for a celestial explanation for the objects which hit the earth during the Trib. |

Well, this part of the article is a lie: I cant recall any such claim being made. The mods might be stepping up their 'policing' activities soon though. |

In reading the BBC article it is very predictable in a way. Bible followers are grouped together with the pagans/astrologers, at least that was my impression. In fact, they only reference "gods", lower g.
“The way people have interpreted these astronomical events goes hand in hand with the beliefs in their culture,” says Jarita Holbrook, an astronomer and professor at the University of the Western Cape. “In places where there’s a gentler environment, no extremes in weather, and food is abundant, your gods are likely to be kinder and so you see things in different ways. But if you live in a fearful religion where the gods are out to get you then you’d have more of an inclination to expect the end of the world.”
This was certainly the case in medieval Christian Europe. With a population fraught by plagues, wars, and well attuned to the Bible, their thoughts during a solar or lunar eclipse would turn quickly to the Book of Revelation which refers to the Sun becoming black as sackcloth, and the whole Moon becoming the colour of blood.
hmmm...I wonder what the author of this article thinks about today's world? I highlighted the plague/war thing...hey Jarita, did you just arrive from Mars?
Ya know what is funny to me about the word "culture" ? It implies a region of people acting the same way...What does one do with the Christian Christ Follower? We are All over the world!! I almost take offense to being grouped into a "culture" ...
I also love that a "kinder" god represents "a gentler environment, no extremes in weather, and food is abundant." where on earth is that happening anymore?
To me the secular world reporting will always under-report the truths of the God's Word. The 7 year Tribulation is not just about "75% of the population being destroyed" But, HEY, what a great plug for Unsealed!!
