April 8th, 2024. Solar eclipse. What is its prophetic message
0:09
You might already have heard the news about the upcoming rare total solar eclipse that's going to take place on April 8th, 2024
0:16
This solar eclipse would cause nighttime-like darkness, and because the moon is closer, the length of darkness would also be longer
0:23
Now, here's what makes the April 8th solar eclipse extraordinary and unique
0:30
In the US, the path of totality starts in Texas, and traverses through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, effectively cutting a slash across the United States
0:46
What's even more astonishing is that simultaneously, a comet dubbed the Devil's Comet is set to pass by Earth during the eclipse
0:54
For some preachers, teachers, and religious leaders, look at the solar eclipse as a bad omen from God
0:59
Could this be true? Could the April 8th solar eclipse be a sign from God? Will it mark an upcoming significant event
1:07
Will this solar eclipse be a sign of the coming doom and destruction of the United States
1:12
Or will it mark the start of something big that's going to happen
1:16
Obviously, the April 8th solar eclipse has caused a lot of speculations in the Christian circle
1:22
However, what does the Bible truly say? First and foremost, the Bible indeed emphasizes that heavenly bodies serve as signs for God's people
1:31
We've witnessed how solar eclipses and other astronomical phenomena have been associated with significant events
1:38
For instance, in the Bible, we recognize that the sun and moon are utilized to designate God's appointed days or holy days, such as the Passover, Day of Unleavened Bread, and Feast of Tabernacles, among others
1:50
Genesis 1, 14 states, Here, the term seasons actually refers to appointed times, signifying God's holy days
2:09
However, this verse primarily underscores the role of heavenly bodies as signs to indicate when to observe these holy days
2:16
In Mark 15, 33, we learn how darkness blanketed the entire land during the crucifixion of our Master and Savior, Jesus Christ, or properly known as Yeshua
2:27
It states, Later that day, a significant earthquake occurred, tearing the veil of the temple in two from top to bottom
2:40
This event illustrates the correlation between heavenly signs and earthquakes. Revelation 6, verse 12 also appears to imply the simultaneous occurrence of heavenly signs and earthquakes
3:00
Moreover, numerous verses in the Bible discuss heavenly signs as integral components of the end times
3:06
Isaiah 13, verse 9 to 10 states, And He will destroy its sinners from it
3:19
For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light, the sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine
3:29
Could the total solar eclipse on April 8 signal an important prophetic event happening soon
3:35
Well, for me, it's difficult to be sure 100%. Remember, eclipses are actually quite frequent occurrences
3:44
Total solar eclipses happen approximately every 18 months somewhere on Earth, while partial solar eclipses occur several times a year
3:52
Additionally, total lunar eclipses take place virtually every year in most regions
3:57
Since the time the Bible spoke about heavenly signs, there have been thousands of both total and partial solar and lunar eclipses
4:04
None of them appear to have held any significance in relation to end times Bible prophecy
4:10
Therefore, predicting whether a future eclipse will have ties to the end times should not be taken dogmatically
4:17
What we need to realize is that the prophecies that have to do with heavenly signs are events that are going to happen before the coming of our Messiah
4:26
There are still so many Bible prophecies that need to be fulfilled before the second coming of Yeshua
4:33
Therefore, it's certain that the April 8 solar eclipse is not the one foretold in the Bible as a precursor to Christ's return
4:41
Notice Matthew 24 verse 29. Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light
4:51
The stars will fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens will be shaken
4:55
Yes, we have seen in the past how the sun is darkened and the moon does not give its light
5:00
However, we don't see stars, which most likely refer to meteors falling from heaven or the powers of the heavens being shaken
5:09
While it's fascinating to look at solar eclipses and determine their prophetic significance, what we should do is prepare ourselves for Christ's second coming
5:18
We must always be ready because of that hour and day. No one knows
5:22
If we die tonight, can we truly tell ourselves we are ready
5:27
We need to repent of our sins, turn from our wicked ways, and start living God's purpose for our lives
5:33
Furthermore, on April 8, 2024, take a moment to pause and marvel at God's majestic creation, witnessing one of the most captivating astronomical events of our modern era
5:45
Observing the intricate workings of our remarkable universe should deepen our appreciation for God, the supremely powerful being who lovingly chose to be our Father
5:56
