God gave us 'road' signs to tell us when important events will happen.
God is the Great Astronomer. Satan is the father of Astrology, the perversion of astronomy, which changed the focus away from foretelling the events surrounding the two advents of Messiah - to a false method for trying to foretell our own futures. Satan really pulled a fast one on us with this lie and now the very people (us) who need to be looking at the skies for His announcements are ignoring His signs and declaring all stargazing evil!
Then God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs [signals] and for seasons [appointed days], and for days and years...
Genesis 1:14
God prioritizes His lists. Notice the order: 'signs' is in priority before counting 'days and years'. And we already saw that 'seasons' is incorrect - it is moedim, meaning appointed days.
Important solar and lunar eclipses of our time and future:
And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of YHWH come.
Joel 2:30-31
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, see, there was a great earthquake; and the sun sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.
Revelation 6:12
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. 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.
Matthew 24:29-30
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear, and for the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heavens shall be shaken. Then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Luke 21:25
When? 'Before the day of the Lord', when the sixth seal is opened, and 'Immediately after the tribulation of those days...'
The eclipses that fell on appointed feast days:
| Type | Gregorian | Hebrew | Event |
| Total Lunar | 4/15/2014 | 15 Nissan 5774 | Pesach |
| Total Lunar | 10/8/2014 | 14 Tishrei 5775 | Erev Sukkot |
| Total Solar | 3/20/2015 | 29 Adar 5775 | Immediately before God's declared start of the religious year |
| Total Lunar | 4/4/2015 | 15 Nissan 5775 | Pesach |
| Partial Solar | 9/13/2015 | 29 Elul 5775 | Immediately before the start of the Jewish civil year |
| Total Lunar | 9/28/2015 | 15 Tishrei 5776 | Sukkot |
No other eclipses will fall on any feast days for the rest of this century!
Four consecutive lunar eclipses, back to back, is called a tetrad. The last two times there were tetrads on feast days was in 1949/1950, after Israel prophetically became a nation again 'in a day', and in 1967/1968 when Jerusalem was restored to Isreal!
Here is a link to an excellent video of Pastor Mark Biltz explaining more of this in detail. It is all worth the time but about one third through he starts describing the signs:
El Shaddai Ministries - Eclipses.
The Jubilee year and the Sabbatical year are announced by the blast of the shofar at the end of the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).
Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you.
Leviticus 25:9-10
Jewish tradition says that this announces it nine days late into the year that started on the Day of Trumpets but this is the Egyptian and Babylonian new year. There was much preparation to be done and announcing it months in advance was appropriate. God corrected their calendar in Exodus 12 saying the beginning of the year is supposed to be in the spring when they left Egypt. Notice the Hebrew words for Rosh HaShanah are used here.
This month shall be to you the beginning [Rosh] of months; it shall be the first month of the-year [HaShanah] to you.
Exodus 12:2
So what do these eclipses mean? No one knows, but if the pattern is correct then something big is about to happen.
A unique sign in the heavens will occur on September 23rd, 2017 that astronomers tell us has never happpened before. It is an alignment of stars and planets that perfectly fits the description in Revelation 12!
A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Revelation 12:1
If this event is the fulfillment of this verse then we are at the very end of the age and there is little time left for the bride to wait! There is a lot of conjecture being passed around as fact on the web about this sign and what will happen but the astronomical facts are absolute. Check out this amazing video: The Great Sign of Revelation 12
At 1:30 and 4:45 the author makes statements about a 3 hour total darkness occurring that is logical for the fulfillment but cannot be verified to happen by any known astronomical event. At 7:25 he continues in the speculation but if an unforeseen body does block the sun on this day then there will be no doubt to the world of its validity.
Yahuwah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.
Isaiah 30:30
It is my studied opinion that if the sun gets blocked for everyone to see the sign then it is the harbinger for the start of the times of the tribulation, Jacob's trouble, and the resurrection and rapture (R&R) will have happened by this date. You have been warned.
When Jesus, Yahshua, comes back to earth at the end of the tribulation time and finishes the last battle he will declare a new Jubilee year on Yom Kippur for the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom!
God is a creator of order. It is my opinion that He has ordained Daniel's 70th week (containing the tribulation trials), the end of this age, and the start of the Millenium, to all fall perfectly into His Jubilee year cycles. We just don't know when this will be.
