Revelation 6:12
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

At one time I believed that the event where the light of the sun is blocked and the light of the moon will become as blood was the cause of an overabundance of debris in the atmosphere. The problem with this theory is that if there is going to be enough debris (caused by war, volcanic eruptions, whatever) in the atmosphere to block out the light of the sun, then the light of the moon would also be blocked out. So the event we are looking for is one in which something big enough to eclipse the light of the sun gets between earth and the sun, yet this something has to be outside the orbit of the moon.

Any fresh ideas out there?

This is not a fresh idea, but - back in the early 90's I had seen both. The sun was blotted out even at mid day and required headlights to drive. That took place in Iraq during persian gulf war 1. I saw this on a news broadcast. Then at night where I lived, in Ohio, I saw the moon blood red. I drew a connection there as the Bible does not claim these two things happen all over the world ( something many always seems to think ) nor does it claim they happen at exactly the same time. When one eliminates the necessity for them to happen together and world wide - this prophecy has been fulfilled. However, if it was meant to be world wide and at the ssame time, then it has yet to be done... or I missed it.

Not to worry; you haven't missed it. I believe that what is described is the near miss of an asteroid or comet. It eclipses the sun and partially eclipses the moon at the same time. What we have from the sixth seal through the fifth trumpet is a meteor shower. And actually, because so many of these meteors strike the earth, we really have a METEORITE shower.

6th Seal: "stars" fall from the sky = herald meteors
7th Seal: 1st Trumpet: After 1/2 hour of silence in the sky, hail and fire mixed with blood = hot, "frozen" chemicals (crystals?) rain down starting fires
2nd Trumpet: "huge mountain thrown into the sea" = large mountain-sized meteorite has an ocean landing
3rd Trumpet: "sputtering, burning, huge "star" named "Wormwood" poisons the freshwater sources = green absinthe meteorite that sputters as it burns in the atmosphere releasing chemicals that poison the waters
4th Trumpet: the darkening of the lights of the day and of the night = smokes and debris choke the atmosphere
5th Trumpet: a meteorite cracks open the earth's crust at key coordinates opening the unsounded pit

All of these have this theme in common: a "star" falls from the sky to the ground (or water) = a METEORITE!

Shalom Retrobyter,


I think we are looking at a mass extinction event that is circumvented by the advent of Christ.


Matthew24:22
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but
for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

I am flexible for any possibility, but for now the evidence points toward a Planet X or something the size of a planet. Some of the evidence is:
  1. The Sun light blocked and the moon turning blood red. If a planet (large enough) got between earth and the sun it would eclipse the sun yet we would still be able to see the moon.
  2. Unprecedented earthquakesMatthew24:7
  3. Massive tidal changes Luke21:25
  4. Meteor showers Revelation 8:1
What ever is the cause of this event doesn't just present itself the hour before the disaster. Something this big (coming toward earth) would be seen well in advance by earth’s observatories. The governments would be aware well in advance (they may know even now).

Those in the know would (futiley) be preparing survival shelters. Revelation6:16

The general population will be kept in the dark until you can see it with the naked eye. At some point marshal law would be implemented with the mark-of-the-beast being part of the security process. Revelation13:16
Anyone found to be warning of the impending event would be arrested for insighting unrest. Revelation 13:15

Hello All. There are many who believe this prophecy has already been fulfilled.

Following the Lisbon earthquake the (greatest ever recorded) in 1755, was "The Dark Day" of New England on the 19th of May, 1780.

You can read a little about these events at the bible universe site http://www.bibleuniverse.com/articles/second-coming-prophecies-fulfilled/sun-turned-into-darkness.aspx

Here is a short excerpt that may "shed some light" on ideas of smoke, debris, near misses from comets or other naturally explainable phenomenon causing the darkness of Rev 6:12

"That the darkness was not due to an eclipse is evident from the fact that the moon was then nearly full. It was not caused by clouds, or the thickness of the atmosphere, for in some localities where the darkness extended, the sky was so clear that the stars could be seen. Concerning the inability of science to assign a satisfactory cause for this manifestation, Herschel the astronomer declares: "The dark day in North America was one of those wonderful phenomena of nature which philosophy is at a loss to explain."

Perhaps there is not just a natural, physical explanation...

Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

I am not sure what causes this, but it is a one-off occurrence and the heavenly signs announce the return of Christ.

Here is some exiting news for you to chew on and while you are at it, read Psalms 111-117 which is a seven year period called the Hallelujah Psalms. They line up with years 2011-2017 and all of the Psalms line up with the last 150 years that we are living in now. Take for instance the shoe in 2008- Psalm108 being thrown at
B U S H l l=6.
Take a look at Psalm 114 EARTHQUAKE and NO Hallelujah's right in the center of the 7 yrs as in 3-1/2 yr lining up with Rev 11:13 and Rev.12:6 where the devil is tossed out of heaven down to earth just as the son's of God are birthed and CAUGHT UP to God's throne and he goes after the rest of the woman's offspring. Also the Feast of Purim that begins on the 13th as Esther's(adopted by Mordecai/Jesus the Jew being New Covenant Jerusalem) fasts and on the 14th and 15th is where the Jews fight but are rescued from Hamon/Satan and his 10 sons/UN. The 14th/2014/Psalms 114 & 15th /2015/ Psalms 115 are ALWAYS on the 14th & 15th of Adar. So is Passover, so is the Feast of Tabernacles (Caught up and changed in the twinkling of an eye from our earthly tent to our heavenly tabernacle/body/tent.

1 Thess 5:1-9
5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep{SPIRITUALLY BLINDED AS IN NOT WATCHING}, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
KJV

John 12:27-33
27. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say; Father, save me from this hour? but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30. Yeshua answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33. This he said, signifying what death he should die.


Luke 10:17-18
17. And the seventy-two returned again with joy, saying, Master, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.


John 14:29-30
29. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.


8:30 AM ~ Morning Offering Presented

Matthew 27:33-35
33. And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34. They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with wormwood: [GSN#5521 chole] and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
35. And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.


Original Strong's Ref. #5521
Romanized chole
Pronounced khol-ay'
feminine of an equivalent perhaps akin to the same as GSN5514 (from the greenish hue); "gall" or bile,

i.e. (by analogy) poison or an anodyne (wormwood, poppy, etc.):
KJV--gall.


Revelation 8:10-11
10. And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11. And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many anthropon died of the waters, because they were made bitter.


Deuteronomy 32:28-33
28. For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30. How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
31. For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32. For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33. Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.


Psalm 69:13-28
13. But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
14. Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15. Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16. Hear me, O Lord; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
17. And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
18. Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19. Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20. Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21. They gave me also gall
for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22. Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24. Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25. Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26. For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
27. Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.


9:00 AM ~ Third Hour of the Day

Mark 15:22-25
22. And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
23. And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
24. And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
25. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
