Heavenly signs

[Christina]

More signs? Heavenly signs in the Bible Major Biblical events were marked with heavenly signs: solar eclipses, solar standstills, lunar eclipses, lunar standstills, total darkness and others.And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to divide between the day and the night. And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years. (Gen 1:14)But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath for Jehovah. You shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard. (Lev 25:4)Shmita (Hebrew: שמיטה, literally "release"), also called the Sabbatical Year, is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah for the Land of Israel. It is the year the land must rest. The current Shmita year began on Rosh Hashanah of the Hebrew year 5768, and extends until 29 Elul 5768 (13 September 2007 – 29 September 2008).According to the Gaonim, any Anno Mundo (A.M. – the year since the creation of the world) year that is evenly divisible by seven, is a Shmita year.PAST EVENTS:Then Joshua spoke to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun! Stand still on Gibeon! And, moon, stand still in the valley of Aijalon! (Jos 10:12)And the sun stood still, and the moon stood still, until the people had avenged themselves on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? And the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens, and did not hasten to go down about a whole day. (Jos 10:13)And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in the middle. (Luk 23:45)And crying with a loud voice, Jesus said, Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit. And when He had said this, He breathed out the spirit. (Luk 23:46)So, six months after Yochanan (John) the Baptist was born, Yeshua (Jesus) was born. Therefore, since Yochanan (John) was born on the fifteenth day of the first month (Nisan), Yeshua would be born on the fifteenth day of the seventh month (Tishri)...six month later. The fifteenth day of the seventh month is known as Succoth, or the Feast of Tabernacles. By the way, that day was a full moon. In fact, the fifteenth day of every Biblical month is a full moon.It is a rare occurrence for four lunar cycles to happen on successive Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) observances. A series of four lunar eclipses on these particular holy days did occur in the twentieth century -- not once, but twice! The first set occurred in 1949-1950, the year after Israel became a state! The second set happened in 1967-1968, the year Israel liberated Jerusalem! Such a phenomenon is nigh unto impossible, unless it was set up by Divine design. The last time this set of four lunar eclipses occurred on Passover and Sukkot was in 1493, the year after Columbus sailed the ocean blue and Spain expelled all Jews.FUTURE EVENTS:And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. (Mat 24:29) [Second Coming of Christ?]Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, cruel and with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land waste; and He shall destroy its sinners out of it. (Isa 13:9)For the stars of the heavens and their constellations shall not give light; the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not reflect its light. (Isa 13:10)The earth shall tremble before them; the heavens shall shake. The sun and the moon shall grow dark, and the stars shall gather in their light. (Joe 2:10) [Reference to the great day]And when He had opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. (Rev 6:12) [The Return of Christ?]And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was stricken, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day did not appear for a third part of it, and the night also. (Rev 8:12)Coming up this summer, there will be the first of three solar eclipses on the day that introduces the first of Av (1 August 2008). That’s right, all three solar eclipses will be on the biblical date of Av 1, for the next three years -- 2008, 2009, and 2010. Our Gregorian calendar dates are: Av 1 – 1 August 2008 - partial eclipse; Av 1 – 22 July 2008 - partial eclipse; Av 1 – 11 July 2010 - partial eclipse. In the Jewish calendar, they are all on the first of Av, the day when Jews lament the destruction of their temples. However, there will come a time when God will reverse the fast days and turn them into feast days, Zechariah said in Zech. 8:19 The Sabbatical year Sep. 2014 – Sep. 2015 will have 2 solar eclipses and 4 lunar eclipses. This will happen on Biblical or Jewish holidays. The four lunar eclipses will occur on: Passover, 15 April 2014; The Feast of Tabernacles, 8 October 2014; Passover, 4 April 2015 and The Feast of Tabernacles, 28 September 2015. It will not happen again for hundreds of years. Two solar eclipses will occur on: Adar 29/Nisan 1, 20 March 2015; The Feast of Trumpets, 13 September 2015. Nisan 1 marks the beginning of the religious festival cycle. On Tishri 1, the Jews observe Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets. This day is highly prophetic, because it is said to be the anniversary of the Creation of Adam. It is Adam’s birthday.“What is God telling Israel through the upcoming lunar eclipses?” Is it possible that these are fulfilling biblical prophecies? WATCH and be ready.

I think it might be naive to believe that there will be a "2014". Solar Cycle 24 started January of 2008 and will become stronger (the likeky cause of climate change/global warming). Many scientists say that "warming" has stopped and will now begin "cooling" (causing a "little ice age" and many earthquakes, volcanos, etc.).The solar flares cause vibrations (frequencies) in the earth and might loosen the earth around the Yellow Stone Park SUPERVOLCANO and knockout electronics all around the world (magnetic interference), burnout power stations, boil lakes, cause forest fires, and boil our skin.It has been speculated that the solar flares will become so strong by 2010 or 2011 that all life on earth will be wiped out. There was a big "Solar Tempest" in 1859 that exploded telegraph stations and caused fires. Since then, scientists and astronomers started studying them and found that they are getting stronger, but now we are much more vulnerable to the effects because everything is electronic. Look up "Little Ice Age" and "Maunder Minimum".http://www.borderlands.com/sun/sunspots.htm"Come Jesus, come".

Can't argue that besides ourselves the biggest danger we face outside earth in the next few years are sun spots/Solar flares and what they cause. I follow them daily

Bizarre Star Gets Stranger By Clara MoskowitzStaff Writerposted: 15 May 20082:05 p.m. ET Pulsars are like cosmic lighthouses sending out sweeping beams that blink at us across the galactic expanse. Now scientists have spotted a wacky pulsar that doesn't behave exactly like its fellows: Instead of circling a white dwarf star, this one orbits a sun-like star along an oval path.All other known pulsars that rotate as quickly as this one seem to have picked up speed by pulling off mass from a companion star that has reached the advanced stage of red giant, when its gaseous layers bloat out prior to the end-stage of life as a very compact, dim, white dwarf. "The fact that it's around a sun-like star is fascinating because if that is the companion to this pulsar, then it certainly didn't accrete matter from that star — it hasn't been a red giant yet," said David Champion, an astronomer at Canada's McGill University. To account for this odd duck, called PSR J1903+0327, scientists have concocted a few new ideas, including the possibility that the pulsar originated in a globular cluster with a different companion, but was kicked out by a near-miss with another star. "The reason why we're so excited about this is the impact it might have on our understanding of where the pulsars that we look at are coming from," Champion told SPACE.com. "We've never seen anything like this before."Champion and his colleagues detail their findings in the May 15 issue of the journal Science.Quite a surprisePulsars are thought to form when a massive star reaches the end of its life and explodes in a supernova. The remnants of these stars sometimes collapse into neutron stars, so-called because they are so dense that the protons and electrons that formed the star's atoms have been squashed into neutrons (if the original star was even more massive, it would collapse into a black hole).Not only is the star's matter tightly-packed after all this squashing, but the star's magnetic field is compressed into a tiny space as well. Scientists think this powerful field accelerates charged particles around the star, causing them to emit radiation that is focused into a beam by the magnetic field lines.As these neutron stars rotate, so too do their light beams. If a neutron star happens to be shooting out its jet in our direction, we call it a pulsar, because we see a pulse every time the rotating beam reaches us.Usually, pulsars slow down in their rotation over time as they lose energy. When one attains a speed as fast as PSR J1903+0327, which rotates every 2.15 milliseconds, scientists think it has "recycled" itself by sucking up mass from a companion red dwarf. When this happens, scientists usually see a quickly spinning pulsar orbiting around a white dwarf (the end stage of a red giant) in a circular orbit (the red giant's tidal forces stabilize the pulsar's orbit into a circle)."This new pulsar is quite a surprise," Champion said, referring to the new object's oblong orbit around a sun-like star.Cozy originsThe scientists speculate that the strange pulsar may have started out in a globular cluster, where stars are much closer to each other and interact more often than in the rest of the galaxy. In this case, it would have originally gone through the normal recycling process, but lost its aged red giant companion when a younger sun-like star came flying in and knocked it away.Another hypothesis is that the pulsar originated in a triple star system, but its main red giant companion was destroyed.The team hopes further study of this unique object will help solve the mystery and teach us more about how pulsars form."It's always the most unusual objects that advance our understanding the most in these cases," Champion said
