Dear Readers, in today’s post we are going to see yet another end-time sign which signifies to us that the Bible Prophesied 7-year tribulation is at humanity’s doorstep & the time to escape is very short. These are signs in the heavens or what we call the celestial bodies. There is a verse in the Holy Bible that mentions that God is going to use the created celestial bodies also as “signs”. Genesis Ch 1: V14 says, “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:” This means God had created the day and the night not just for seasons, days and years, but for the signs too. And especially in the last days, these signs would become increasingly momentous.
The Holy Bible says in Luke Ch 21:- V25, “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring.” That’s indeed an apparent description of the celestial signs that usher in the 7-year Tribulation period, which brings in severe turmoil and violent upheaval among the nations & the earth dwellers. The big question is, so are we seeing those signs today? Well, I would list a few signs in the heavens that have been happening of late and also describe the significance of these signs. Note these signs also correspond to news reports of very unusual occurrences simultaneously occurring in the dark regions of space, all of which portend to impending Bible prophecy fulfillment with the horrific 7-year tribulation in view.
Talking about celestial signs, to begin with, on March 25, 2024, the penumbral lunar eclipse was witnessed in many parts of our planet. This was visible to the naked eye as 95.57% of the moon was immersed in the earth’s penumbral shadow. This lunar eclipse painted the sky red over much of the planet on that particular day. More importantly, this “blood moon eclipse” coincided with the Jewish festival of Purim, on the very same day of March 25, 2024. So, some had termed it the “blood moon Purim eclipse”. We can find the origins of the Jewish festival Purim in the Holy Bible in the book of Esther. For more details, please check this link, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/search=Esther%209&version=KJV. Israel’s enemies wanted to destroy her, but in the end, we see how Israel prevailed over her enemies. This is not just mentioned in the Holy Bible, but also a confirmed historical fact.
Looking at the currently developing Middle East tension, it looks like this is an important indicator and warning to the entire planet that there could be some major war/wars in the Middle East involving Israel in the coming months or years. And Israel might emerge victorious irrespective of the extremely difficult circumstances & international isolation she faces.
Secondly, we had the Great American Eclipse of 2024 on April 8th, when the sun, moon, and seven other planets in our solar system all lined up in the sky. This phenomenon was visible in Mexico, the United States & Canada. This was once in a lifetime very special event. Scientists have noted that this Great American Eclipse of 08th April 2024 completed the giant “X” over America that the Great American Eclipse of 2017 started. These scientists also pointed out that previously, approximately 3 months after the eclipse of 1811 completed the giant “X” over America; the New Madrid fault zone had witnessed the biggest & most destructive earthquakes in American History. According to the USGS, at one point the geography of the region became so distorted by seismic activity that the Mississippi River actually began to flow backwards temporarily.
Now, the “X” sign doesn’t seem to be a good sign. It clearly speaks of disapproval or condemnation. And is this a sign only for America or for the whole world? My guess is this is a sign or warning not just for America but for the whole world. All of us very well know that today the USA is the economic, financial & military powerhouse of the world. Once America sinks, the whole world is going to sink with it. There is a strong possibility that the next few years could see God’s hand of judgment over America and consequently over the whole world. America’s famed evangelist the late Mr. Billy Graham once exclaimed, "If God doesn't soon bring judgment upon America, He'll have to go back and apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!"
Next, we heard of the run of the ‘devil comet’ from the “blood moon Purim eclipse” on March 25th and the total solar eclipse on April 8th. This comet shows up only once in 71 years. The celestial body Pons-Brooks is popularly known as the Devil Comet due to its periodic eruptions of ice and gas. These volcanic-like eruptions give the comet the appearance of having devil horns. What I find here interesting is due to this phenomenon this comet is named after the devil himself. The Bible in Revelation 12:12 says, “Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” What we can infer from this is, very probably the time for Satan and his host to be cast from the mid-heavens down to the earth is at hand. And when he is cast down, the Bible Prophesied 7-year tribulation period would immediately start. In this ensuing 7-year tribulation period, the devil & his hosts are going to rip this planet apart with their reign of unprecedented horror and bloodshed. The Bible very explicitly says in Mathew 24:22, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.”
Next, NASA is telling us of another celestial occurrence scheduled to happen sometime between now and September 2024; a star that is 3,000 light years away will explode. This explosion would be so bright that it would be visible to the naked eye in the northern hemisphere. Again, these are unusual occurrences in the dark regions of space, clearly signifying that very bad times are very fast approaching the inhabitants of this earth.
Also, it is expected that there will be “Blood Moon Purim Eclipses” for 3 years in a row in 2024, 2025, and 2026. As mentioned previously, the 2024 blood moon eclipse has already occurred on 25th March 2024. But it is expected that there will be “blood moon eclipses” on Purim in 2025 and 2026 too.
Indeed, the years 2024, 2025, and 2026 seem to be very important years from the Bible Prophecy perspective. We could see increased hostility towards the nation of Israel in these years. With Iran, Turkey, Yemen, Hezbollah, and Hamas standing together against Israel, there could be an all-out war in the Middle East anytime. And if Russia joins in this war, a very catastrophic Bible Prophesied war is surely on the cards. This war is mentioned in Ezekiel 38 & 39 of the Holy Bible. For more details, please check this link, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/search=Ezekiel%2038&version=KJV. It’s very clearly mentioned here that all of Israel’s enemies would be defeated by supernatural intervention. That means not the late great USA, but GOD is about to interfere and help Israel against the mighty Middle East coalition of Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya, Ethiopia, Africa, other smaller nations & armies, etc.
But let us understand, what happens when God intervenes. There would be very catastrophic destruction in the Middle East. Its horrific impact would fall on the entire planet. At that time, there would be multiple disasters globally confronting helpless and weary humanity. There would be multiple simultaneous wars & rumors of wars. There would be massive economic collapse, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic activity, joblessness, hyperinflation, multiple killer pandemics, extreme poverty, technological enslavement, murder, bloodshed, thefts, violent crime, & the list goes on and on.
At such a violent time, Satan would raise a man from Europe and possess him. He would be the Antichrist. He would enslave all mankind with the power of technology. He would show no mercy to humanity because he knows his time is short. He himself is in trouble, as the Lord God of Heaven and Earth is going to judge him and throw him into the bottomless pit also called Hell. Hence, he would be inflicting quick and very severe pain and death on mankind as he wants the entire humanity to be with him in Hell.
Satan and his Antichrist would be targeting & killing/beheading all those who have put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, there would be many Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Communists, etc. who would be trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ at that time and be beheaded for the sake of Christ. But dear reader, my plea with you today is, today you have a better chance to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. All you have to do is confess your sins before the Lord Jesus Christ & ask Him to forgive you. You have to acknowledge that 2000 years ago, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself died for your sins on that old rugged cross. He was buried but rose again victoriously on the 3rd day defeating the power of sin, satan & death. Today, it is relatively easier to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and enter into heaven with minimum persecution. Remember this time is very short. The Bible Prophesied Tribulation is very fast approaching the earth and in all chances could hit this earth within the next few years.
The best part is that all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ today, would not be remaining here to face the horrific 7-year Tribulation period. The Lord Jesus Christ is coming back soon to rapture, whisk away, or take away all those who believe in Him or all the Bible-believing Christians. Those who have not believed in Him/or rejected Him would be left behind to face the horrific 7-year tribulation and thereafter the eternal lake of fire. So, today is the better time, today is the day of salvation. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved, before it is too late and time runs out. Our earnest prayer is that you too would be able to taste God’s free gift of salvation.
