Significance of the 'Great American Eclipse' next month.

Since the USA was founded there has never been an eclipse like the one coming next month. An eclipse that touches ONLY the United States and no other country. Furthermore, this eclipse is unique as it spans from coast to coast, seemingly slicing the country perfectly in half.  This eclipse is just 33 days before a significant biblical sign in the heavens and 40 days prior to the Day of Atonement.   If that wasn't enough, in 7 years there is another eclipse coming to this land... but this time it comes from a different angle, thus creating an "X" across the heart of our country.  Scott Clarke touched on some of this in a video back in April about Three Epic Heavenly Signs...  If you missed it here is a link.

Some elements of the prophetic significance of this upcoming eclipse were also expertly explored by Unsealed.org recently which has had a great response online.    That article is also a must read as they found amazing parallels to the number 33, which is the number of days between this event and the Rev12 Sign. If you missed it here is the link.

Now Michael Snyder has a new article out on the same subject.  It's titled: Most Unusual—and Significant?—Solar Eclipse in US History Will Occur Next Month on August 21st.  In it he breaks down the very unique nature of this coming eclipse and discusses the possible implications of the future eclipse in 7 years which together are centered on the New Madrid Fault Zone. The article was posted on Charisma News and shared by Jan Markel today in her daily collection of relevant news stories. Here is an excerpt:

It is entirely possible that it could just be a complete coincidence that these two eclipses form a giant "X" directly over the heart of the New Madrid fault zone, but I think that it would be a mistake to dismiss this phenomenon altogether without reflecting on what it might mean. Because as Pastor Mark Biltz has pointed out, it appears that God specifically used solar eclipses back in biblical times.

We cannot know for sure what the implications are as this eclipse isn't talked about as directly in Scripture as the Rev12 Sign.  But it seems quite clear that this eclipse is in a class by itself.  The fact that it is in the same part of the sky (see image above) as the Rev 12 Sign, next to the same star (Regulus) that was pivotal in the wise men identifying the time of Christ birth is impossible to ignore.  It is the perfect precursor to the Rev 12 Sign since when the sky goes dark, the components of the Rev12 Sign will instantly appear as they move into their final alignment.  Additionally, this eclipse marks the beginning of the last lap of the Moon around the Earth before it comes into its prophetic position on September 23rd... similar to how a gun is fired on the last lap of a big race as described so eloquently by Greg Lauer in the conclusion of his recent article here.

So, with all the surrounding information, I am making a plea that all of the verses about the Sun darkening and the Moon not giving its light be given a fresh study.... As most of you know there are numerous scriptures which seem to point to solar eclipses (Sun and moon both dark). Here is a list of a few: Is 13:10, Joel 2:31, Mark 13:27 and Matt 24:29... some of these are clearly precursors to the end times.  Similarly there are others that do the same with Lunar Eclipses (Which turn the Moon red) such as Joel 2:31, Acts 2:20 and others.  This is just a quick sample of verses, perhaps there are more that apply and some of these which don't. What I believe needs to be studied is which eclipse verses could apply to this first eclipse in 2017 (perhaps a Tribulation precursor) and which others apply to the 2024 eclipse 7 years later (which are perhaps precursors to Jesus returning to the earth).

God clearly uses these types of events as signs, and the fact that the eyes of the most powerful nation in the world will be looking up at this important area of the sky when there is so much division in our land and so much turmoil in the world while so many other signs are in play is very interesting. Will you help us in this endeavor and share anything you find below?  If so, please let us know in the comment section if you are on the case, and then if you find something interesting obviously share that as well!  Thanks in advance for your help!

Here is the new video of Mark Blitz in his recent sermon about Eclipses.  As Michael Snyder indicated in his article, Pastor Mark lays out many historical precedents of eclipses signifying coming judgment. He also mentions the Rev12 Sign, but unfortunately doesn't explain it very well!  : )
