A Sign of the Times? The Sun Will Totally Disappear in 97 Days
The sun will entirely disappear in 97 days during a total solar eclipse.
For the first time in 26 years in the United States, the sun will be blocked out by the moon’s shadow for a few hours.
“No human action can disrupt the incessant dance of the cosmos, and the Moon’s shadow will not wait on you if you’re not ready. Like a mindless juggernaut, it plows its way through space toward a collision course with Earth. As predicted by the astronomers decades in advance, the shadow arrives with perfect accuracy, and touches down in the north Pacific Ocean at 16:48:33 UT*, at local sunrise. (At that spot, the Sun will actually rise while totally eclipsed. This is a sight few people—even veteran eclipse chasers—have seen, and from what we hear, it is quite uncanny.)” according to eclipse2017.org.
“A minute later, the entire shadow (the ‘umbral cone’) will have made landfall—er, ocean-fall—and will be racing across the surface of the water at supersonic speed. Except for folks on ships at sea, and the occasional ocean-dwelling critter who dares to venture too near the surface, nothing sentient will note the passing of the umbra—until land gets in the way,” the site continues.
Could this be a sign of the times, as Jesus Himself described in the book of Luke?
He prophesied:
“There will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men fainting from fear and expectation of what is coming on the inhabited earth. For the powers of heaven will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:25-28).
