I’ve seen some quotes, from professors to poets, who put today’s solar eclipse in its proper perspective. In one way or another they say what’ll happen is you’ll be “standing the shadow of the moon.”
Sure, some interesting things can happen in the shadow of the moon.
Temperatures drop. And crickets start chirping. And people in the “path of totality” can use special glasses to see the sun’s corona make a fiery circle around the moon. But jumpin’ Jiminy, it’s not a magic show. And it’s not even something from the magical mystery tour. So, pop open your own Corona (or cola or other beverage of choice) and relax.
Let’s not turn this into some sort of apocalyptic opening act.
I saw a short video that said 7 years ago another solar eclipse occurred across America. And that one passed over 7 towns named Salem. Now, this April 2024 eclipse will pass over 7 towns named Nineveh. And the video’s narrator pointed out that where the two paths crisscross is a town named Rapture.
Then, the narrator asked, “What is God telling us?” And he answered his own question with, “I am coming soon.”
Well, God mentioned almost that exact thing in the next to the last verse in the Bible with these words, “Surely I am coming quickly.” And that was two thousand years ago. Give or take a few years.
So, does that mean this month’s solar eclipse over America is NOT a sign of God’s return?
Nope.
But it doesn’t mean it IS a sign either.
Take what I say with (and as) a grain of salt.
And ALWAYS examine things in the Light of God’s word.
Standing in the shadow of the moon,
If the sky begins to sway and swoon,
There might be a twinkling of an eye
As some souls depart into the sky.
But there might be nothing of the sort,
No such odd occurrence to report.
Maybe it will be the age-old tune,
Just a simple shadow of the moon.
