My Personal Takeaway

DISCLAIMER

Before we go any further, I want to reiterate that though the facts I have presented on this site can be verified, the interpretations derived from those facts reflect my personal opinion. I am not a prophet, I haven't been to seminary and I have no "official" credentials or ordination papers. I am simply a servant of Jesus trying to follow where I see Him lead.

The things I am about to say are likely to upset some Christians because they may run counter to the teachings of their respective faith traditions. I may be wrong, and probably am, at least in certain points. I am not infallible, nor do I have any more access to scriptural truth than the next guy. I simply read the Bible, pray for wisdom and try to discern what the Spirit has to say.

At the end of the day, my opinion is irrelevant. And so is yours. The Bible says that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Spirit spoke from God. (2 Peter 1:20) Based on Genesis 1:14, I think we can say the same thing about any signs God may show us in the heavens.

All I ask is that you reflect on what has been presented, praying in faith that God would give you humility, wisdom, discernment and direction. And then follow wherever He may lead.

This process has been very much like an archeological excavation. You begin with a site that may or may not have significance. As you start to dig, you uncover shards and artifacts that indicate you may be on to something. Over time you encounter structures and roads, and as the process unfolds, history begins to come to life. At long last, the day finally arrives when the light pops on and all the various bits of information, artifacts, structures and site layout coalesces into something of great importance.

When I began my investigations, my pursuit was driven by casual curiosity. But as time progressed, I was more and more propelled by the suspicion that there was a big payoff waiting at the end of the road. I kept finding tantalizing clues that seemed to suggest not just a message, but a narrative. Truth be told, it wasn't until a month before the April 2024 eclipse that it finally dawned on me that the eclipses actually were telling a story; the story of the Body of Christ - the Church of the Living God.

THE ECLIPSE OF PEACE

2017 brought us The Eclipse of Peace. To me, this eclipse represents past days of growth, blessing, technological advancement and prosperity both for the world and for God's people. More importantly, over the last 2,000 years, the gospel has been disseminated and received throughout the entire world. Only a few people groups have yet to hear the good news of Jesus Christ, but that number is rapidly diminishing. Jesus said, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." - Matthew 24:14 

Sure there have been times of war, famine, persecution and hardship, both for the world in general and the Church in particular. But overall, most of the world has witnessed significant progress and an ever-increasing standard of living.

The 2017 eclipse represents what was.

THE ECLIPSE OF PERSECUTION

The 2023 eclipse is The Eclipse of Persecution. It entered just south of Salem, Oregon. Salem was in the path of totality in 2017, but in 2023 it lay just to the north. In fact, there were no cities named Salem in the 2023 path. As in Oregon, the Salems in Utah and New Mexico lay just outside the antumbral shadow. The exit at Corpus Christi tells us that this eclipse concerns the Body of Christ. The exit at Nova Cruz indicates that it isn't Christ's physical body God is referring to, but His spiritual body, the Church.

The 2023 eclipse represents what is.

THE ECLIPSE OF ETERNAL REST

The 2024 eclipse is The Eclipse of Eternal Rest. Isla Socorro, Mazatlán and the Peace of Heaven RV Park tell us that God will comfort and help His people, granting them supernatural peace in their moment of trial. When the Day of the Lord  comes and God's wrath is about to be poured out upon a wicked and adulterous generation, those who have endured to the end will be caught up in the Rapture to meet their Savior.

The appearance of two Ninevehs after the Rapture of the Church is one last call to those who remain. Through repentance they can still be forgiven and saved for eternity, but unlike those who were caught up in the Rapture, they will have to weather the wrath of God. 

The end of the story reveals the New Heavens and the New Earth that God creates after the present cosmos has burned up. There we will live in perfect peace, joy and harmony enjoying the eternal presence and intimate fellowship of our God and Creator.

The 2024 eclipse represents what is to come.

As the gospels tell the story of Jesus's earthly ministry, these eclipses tell the story of His spiritual body, the Body of Christ. With no intention of being overly melodramatic, I believe that these three heavenly signs truly represent The Three Eclipses of the Apocalypse.

Notice that I have not addressed the timing or date of any of these events! 

I don't expect that God is going to provide us that information; certainly we aren't going to know the time of Jesus' return. The only thing I'm pretty confident of is that we are now in the first stages of The Persecution Eclipse. The world has changed more quickly and dramatically than ever before in history. Many people said that 9/11 marked the end of the world as we knew it. I think they were spot-on correct. We all know where things are headed.

IF  I have properly interpreted the signs we see in these celestial events, there is one enormous issue likely to raise more than a few eyebrows: the positioning of the Rapture within the overall eclipse narrative. It should be obvious that I had no hand in that placement. There is only one community in the US called Rapture, and it happens to lie in the umbral path of the 2024 eclipse, immediately following the crossing at Makanda. There is nothing I did or could have done to lean towards one placement of the Rapture over another. The maps tell the story.

So if this is indeed what God is telling us, it is time to divest ourselves of the idea that since we will all be raptured before the going gets tough, Christians need not be concerned about a difficult future. I believe that this doctrine (which predominates in the evangelical church of America, but is largely unknown elsewhere in the world) is a lie from the enemy, and that it may ultimately lead to the destruction of many souls. I'm afraid that persons who have always accepted this "pre-Trib" viewpoint will see the Six Trumpets of Revelation play out and realize that they were mistaken in their understanding. And rather than correct their faulty doctrine, they will abandon the faith altogether. Don't be that guy!

(I've done a lot of study and meditation on the Rapture over the last couple of years, and my findings bear out the SkyScroll chronology. I hope to put a teaching together on this subject in the near future. Please send a message using the Contact Form - link below - if you're interested in receiving it.)

For two thousand years, the Church has prayed for Christ’s return, and now it appears to be on the near horizon. The restoration of Israel as a nation on May 14, 1948 was the first domino to fall, and the signs continue to be fulfilled. As we look around us, we see that it’s not just the heavens that declare His coming. Daily headlines; the explosion of knowledge and technology; the apostasy of the Church; the rise of concentrated power in the hands of a few; the relentless march toward a universal digital currency and centralized banking system; the increased persecution of the Church and assault on the Bible; the intractable problem of Israel in general and Jerusalem in particular; the meteoric rise in hedonism, depravity, humanism, perversion and godlessness; the commensurate rise in demonic manifestations and possessions, suicides, and “alien” sightings; plus plagues, wars, rumors of wars, famines and the very real potential of widespread deaths to come – all these things were predicted thousands of years ago and are now coming to pass right before our very eyes. So the big question that confronts us is this:

Are these eclipses a warning, or a pronouncement?

Once again, I believe the answer is unmistakable. Our world has already received many warnings. The way I see it, God’s heavenly Aleph-Tav signature makes it clear that this is a statement of intent. He has written in His word what will occur in the last days; now He has traced a confirmation across His creation.

When I was younger, I would contemplate eternity and what it might look like. Though I was intrigued at the prospect, I confess to being a bit concerned that things might eventually get boring. Not that I was taken in by the imagery of clouds, wings, robes, harps and cupids, thrilling as that might be! Rather, it just sounded like eternity would be an awfully long time. 

Astronomers tell us that the universe is made up of billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars. That's pretty impressive. Now consider that this universe will be destroyed and replaced with a new heavens and earth. Do you think God plans to downsize?

The apostle John speaks of Jesus (aka, the Word), when he tells us that "All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." (John 1:3) Later in John's gospel, Jesus said to His disciples, "In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you." (John 14:2)

Pondering these verses, it now seems abundantly clear that the new cosmos will be far grander than the present one. When I see the Paradise Farm RV Park on Discovery Trail, I'm thinking that an eternity may not be enough time to take it all in.

Through the prophet Isaiah, God declared, "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." (Isaiah 65:17) A few hundred years later, the apostle Paul added that, "Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." (1 Corinthians 2:9)

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that  are unseen are eternal. - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

The delights that await the Body of Christ are beyond all measure and comprehension. It is my sincere hope, dear reader, to someday rejoice with you as we glory together in the eternal love, fellowship and goodness of our God!

I may be mistaken in some of my interpretations, but God’s eternal message has not changed: place your faith in His Messiah, repent of your sins and be saved. Jesus loves you, and His coming draws ever nearer. Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart! Confess your sin, ask for His forgiveness, invite Him into your heart and walk in His light. He died that you might be freed from sin and death. All He asks is that you love Him in return. 

Shalom, Salem & PEACE be unto you!
