Greetings to my brothers and sisters in Christ! I've learned that the total solar eclipse that will cross the United States from coast to coast on 21 August 2017 occurs on the 1st day of Teshuvah (Av 29). Teshuvah lasts 40 days, starting 30 days before Rosh Hashana and ending on Yom Kippur, which this year begins on 29 September 2017 at sundown. It is considered a time of repentance. During the 1st 30 days of Teshuvah, trumpets are blown each day except for the morning before Rosh Hashana, and then trumpets are blown again in the 10 days between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. The 10 days are called "Days of Awe."
I just have to ask the questions... Are the trumpets we are all waiting for about to begin sounding this August? Is the "last trumpet" of 1 Corinthians 15:52 to sound this September? I know these are questions that will have to be placed within the "let's wait and see" category, but I am praying the answer is, "Yes!"

Good morning to my brothers and sisters in Christ! As I thought about the trumpets of the Teshuvah period over the night, I realized that I should clarify my last paragraph in my previous post where I said I'm praying the answer is, "Yes," that the trumpets we are waiting to hear are about to sound. I just want to add that I don't believe the "last trumpet" that occurs at the time of the Rapture to be the 7th of the Trumpet Seals of Revelation 11. I consider the Trumpet Judgments quite different from the trumpets leading up to the Rapture of the Church.

I know these are questions that will have to be placed within the "let's wait and see" category, but I am praying the answer is, "Yes!" I certainly hope so! That is a good find about the 40 days of repentance beginning. I've mentioned before that the United States is the most powerful and wealthy Gentile nation and is sort of the "Gentile microcosm", so it makes perfect sense for a signal (the eclipse) to occur of the U.S. that points to the nearness of judgment on all the Gentile nations. I also completely agree about the 7 Trumpets of Revelation - they occur in the Trib. |

Hi, Gary! Your comment reminds me about a topic I was researching some time ago and I've kept in my notes for further pondering. It regards the strange similarities between ancient Israel and the U.S., and my thought at the time was that the U.S. seems to be a Christian version of Israel in some ways. I'm going to dig out my notes and see if I can post them at some point in the next few days. |

Oh that would be pretty interesting to hear about because it does seem like the U.S.A. has some important part to play in all of this because we are so close to the rapture yet America remains very powerful in military, economy and influence.

Here is an updated version of the timeline that includes brad's discovery that there is an alignment of 7 planets over Israel on 05/01/2021, around the middle of the 7-year period that will start this September.

Good morning to all my brothers and sisters in Christ! I've been doing some investigation on Stellarium regarding the planet/sun/moon alignments that have been mentioned in my timeline chart, and I must say my eyeballs are just about fried now.  I had decided to narrow down the dates on the alignment of mid-March to mid-May 2024, and I discovered there are the following dates when the moon, sun, and 8 planets (yes, with Pluto included) are in the sky over Jerusalem:
March 7-18, 2024 April 1-15, 2024 April 27 to May 12, 2024 May 25 to June 9, 2024
I am noting these particular periods in my timeline, but I am also wondering if perhaps the other alignment times in the chart (1916 and 2021) also have multiple periods of the occurrence. If anyone would care to investigate this, I'd be happy for the help. I'm also wondering how often in the 1916 to 2024 period an alignment of sun/moon/8 planets actually does occur. It would be interesting to lay that out on the chart if indeed it does happen more than as bookends! Would they possibly connect with the history events named in the chart?

How often do all 8 planets line up on the same side of the earth at the same time? BTW, there's a lot to learn from the planets and each one's symbolism, including Pluto.

Greetings to my brothers and sisters in Christ! I've made some extensive additions to the Excel file and want to share my findings with you, as I find the results very interesting. Basically, using Stellarium, I made my way from 1900 to 2024 to try to identify all the times the 8 planets, sun, and moon were together in the sky over Jerusalem. I decided to start with 1900 just so I could see how the rest of the century compared to the specific time I was interested in (1917 to 2024). It actually took me quite some time to finish this--and a little bit of eye strain and vertigo--and I have to tell you first that I am no astronomy expert or Stellarium wiz, so if anyone out there would like to check my work and fine tune it, I would be happy for you to do so.
So, here are the results of what we now show in the timeline:
The Hebrew year of 1900/1901 starts on September 23, 1900. I found the September 23 date interesting in light of our Revelation 12 sign coming up.
The 8 planets, moon, and sun were all together in the sky over Jerusalem at quite interesting times. First, we see the years of World War 1. Then we see the years of World War II and the Holocaust, and the alignments continue to the year of Israel's nationhood (1947/1948). There is also a span of time from 1952 to 1962 marked by the alignment. Does anyone know if there are Israel-related or world events that are particularly noteworthy during that time span? Then there are alignments surrounding the Middle East peace push, from Sadat's visit to Israel to the Camp David Accords and from the Oslo Accords to the Israel/Jordan Peace Treaty and up to 2001, just before the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Next, there is an alignment in the year 2010/2011, between the Av 1 eclipses and the recent Tetrad Blood Moons. And then we come to the 7-year period of 2017 to 2024, which is filled with the alignments.
The highest number of eclipses that can occur in 1 year is 7, and I've marked all the years in which this has happened from 1900 to 2024. The first is in 1908. Any Israel/world events of note in that year? There is also 1917, the year of the Balfour Declaration; 1935, the year of the Nuremberg Laws; 1973, the year of the Yom Kippur War; and 1982, the year of Israel's War with Lebanon.
I've also noted the occurrences of particularly intense meteor storms. The Great June Bootid Meteor Storm of 1916 (a year before the Balfour Declaration) was of interest, as the mythology surrounding Bootes is that he was known as a shepherd. The Lord is our Shepherd, and it seemed to me fitting that the 1917 to 2024 period should begin with a symbol of the Shepherd. The Great Draconid Meteor Storm of 1933--Dracon being "the Dragon"--is fitting, as well, in the year of the Nuremberg Laws as persecution of the Jewish people intensified. Oddly enough, there was also a Great Draconid Meteor Storm in 1946, as if the Dragon was awaiting to devour the nation of Israel as it was born in 1948. The Great Leonid Meteor Storm accompanies the Tetrad Blood Moons of 1967/1968, a reminder of the Lion of Judah, our Lord, as Israel took Jerusalem that year. And there was the Great Perseid Meteor Storm of 1972, just before the Yom Kippur War. In mythology, Perseus slew the Gorgon Medusa--another fitting symbol for the time period here.
Finally, what I felt appeared to be bookends on the previous timeline seem to hold true. An 8-planet/sun/moon alignment bookends the years 1917 to 2017, but also bookend the 7-year period from 2017 to 2024. There is also a bookend of the years 1917 to 2017 in the total solar eclipses occurring over the USA, one in 1918 and one this August 2017. The 7-year period from 2017 to 2024 is also bookended with this American eclipse, August 2017 and Nisan 1, 2024. There is also a bookend of closest supermoons and blood moon Tetrads that mark the years 1948 to 2016.
And I've certainly included our Revelation 12:1-2 sign on the timeline. It fits right in place during the year of Israel's 50th Anniversary and the Balfour Declaration's 100th Anniversary.
Please, oh please, let me know if you happen to have any additions or know of anything I need to correct in the timeline. I look forward to your thoughts on the findings! Here's the attachment:

Wow, good work! I'm not able to examine it this moment, but will try to do so later!

Great work! I bet this took some time to research and confirm. Thank you for taking the time on it.

Greetings to my brothers and sisters in Christ! I've learned that the total solar eclipse that will cross the United States from coast to coast on 21 August 2017 occurs on the 1st day of Teshuvah (Av 29). Teshuvah lasts 40 days, starting 30 days before Rosh Hashana and ending on Yom Kippur, which this year begins on 29 September 2017 at sundown. It is considered a time of repentance. During the 1st 30 days of Teshuvah, trumpets are blown each day except for the morning before Rosh Hashana, and then trumpets are blown again in the 10 days between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. The 10 days are called "Days of Awe." I just have to ask the questions... Are the trumpets we are all waiting for about to begin sounding this August? Is the "last trumpet" of 1 Corinthians 15:52 to sound this September? I know these are questions that will have to be placed within the "let's wait and see" category, but I am praying the answer is, "Yes!" Me too Whatif! and here is one more confirmation of the Teshuvah season... On September 23 there is one of 8 annual "special Sabbath days" observed on the Hebrew calendar... This one is called Shabbat Shuva... Here is what HebCal says about it... Shabbat Shuva / שבת שובה Shabbat Shuvah ("Sabbath [of] Return" שבת שובה) refers to the Shabbat that occurs during the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Only one Shabbat can occur between these dates. This Shabbat is named after the first word of the Haftarah (Hosea 14:2-10) and literally means "Return!" It is perhaps a play on, but not to be confused with, the word Teshuvah (the word for repentance). Shabbat Shuva begins at sundown on Fri, 22 September 2017. Garry already pointed out that the Torah readings on this date were significant... here they are Torah Reading Haftarah: Hosea 14:2-10; Micah 7:18-20; Joel 2:15-27 |

That is so awesome, brad! I am continually amazed by all the connections that appear to be confirming the Revelation 12 sign and the timing of September 2017!
