Bible Scholar Points to Eclipses During Jonah's Time and Christ's Crucifixion

People all over the country are making plans to watch the solar eclipse when it crosses the United States on April 8.

"It's pretty dramatic," says Dr. Daniel Kennefick, a physics professor at the University of Arkansas. "A total solar eclipse is a very unique event because the moon, by a strange coincidence, happens to be the same apparent size, in our skies, as the sun. Of course, the moon is much smaller than the sun but it's also a lot closer and it's precisely the right distance that it blocks out the sun while leaving the area around the sun which means we get to see the solar atmosphere called the corona."

Eight major U.S. cities will be in the path of totality – that's the 115-mile-wide track falling under the moon's central shadow.

I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to have a news channel which reports the goings on in the world, and openly acknowledges God. I don’t know if y’all know how meaningful that is to so many. May God bless you all!

The Book of Genesis proclaims this about the heavenly bodies - the Sun, Moon and Stars : "Let them be for signs and for seasons."

Lord Father may this be a Sign of Your Will and that it be of Thy Kingdom come.

Jesus Christ was the Passover Lamb that was sacrificed on Passover.

None of us know when we will step into eternity!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

If you haven't already done so, please put your trust in Jesus whilst you can!

Having experienced the 2017 eclipse I can say that it is the most incredible natural experience I have ever been part of.

Come Lord Jesus, come
In Christ's name, Amen.

Revelation 22:20
He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Revelation 22:21
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with [k]all. Amen.

Wow! I always wondered why the Ninevites would be so open to Jonah's preaching

[SalvableRuin]

It isn't a "strange coincidence" that the moon looks to be the exact same size as the sun from our perspective. The universe is clearly designed. Anyone who can't see something that obvious is blind.

I viewed a total eclipse from Ellettsville, Indiana. Near Bloomington, south of Indy. All day (before, during, after) traffic was strangely less than normal.
It was a spectacular event. I'm thankful to get to witness the moment of totality. 😮

It has already started. He came to me in a dream. He says he needs to hurry. Humanity is running out of time. Why do you think days seem shorter (I mean like day and night), the years seem to pass by so fast. God is near. Prepare yourself for his 3rd day is close by. Do not wait till tomorrow because it will be too late.

[rna]

Our Father, who is in heaven,
[d]Hallowed be Your name.
[e]Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
[f]On earth as it is in heaven.
In Christ's name, Amen.

It was business as usual when we had the total eclipse seven years back and I don't forsee anything different this time around. Last time the temp dropped very noticeably, all the flowers closed up, the birds quieted down, the shadows through the trees were very odd and then everything went back to normal!😊
