https://www.chabad.org/calendar/view/day.asp
The Talmud (Rosh Hashanah 10b-11a) cites two opinions as to the date of G-d's creation of the universe: according to Rabbi Eliezer: "The world was created in Tishrei" (i.e., the sixth day of creation--the day on which Adam and Eve were created--was the 1st of Tishrei, celebrated each year as Rosh Hashanah); according to Rabbi Joshua, "The world was created in Nissan." As interpreted by the Kabbalists and the Chassidic masters, the deeper meaning of these two views is that the physical world was created in Tishrei, while the "thought" or idea of creation was created in the month of Nissan.
The more you look at it the weirder it gets.

According to the Talmud, the three Patriarchs of the Jewish people-- Abraham (1813-1638 BCE), Isaac (1713-1533 BCE) and Jacob (1653-1506 BCE)--all were born and passed away in the month of Nissan

On the first of Nissan of the year 2448 from creation (1313 BCE--two weeks before the Exodus), G-d showed Moses the crescent new moon and told him, "When you see the moon like this, sanctify [the new month]." This ushered in the first Jewish month, and commenced the lunar calendar Jews have been following ever since.

That bakes the ol noodle a bit.

I'm just going to freestyle some thoughts for you about this upcoming eclipse, and all the doom porn that has flooded all my feeds the closer we get to April 8th.

I have been noticing a recent influx of rapture/end of days judgement/second coming of Jesus articles and youtube videos popping up. It has gotten so bad lately that I am flooded with different theories every day. We have always been expecting and waiting for the End to come, but with this particular eclipse there are more people thinking the rapture will happen during this eclipse than i have ever seen, while others believe it marks the beginning of judgement on us here in the USA, or the beginning of war for us. As well as many other end of days theories concerning it.

I am not one to usually feed into these predictions. Usually when everyone is screaming the rapture is coming I know we are definitely not getting raptured. Anytime people start chanting "this is the end," I know it's not; because no one knows the hour in which it will come. So the more people predict it, the less I'm likely to feed into it.

But, I gotta say, as far as signs go, they are firing off like fireworks on the fourth of July. There are Signs everywhere.

Which has me thinking...

Now, I am not saying I'm buying into the theories circulating right now. I'm just saying, that with all of these things coming together the way they are, something big is about to happen. 

Be it, "staged" or real. Seems to be a lot of build up to something. (I'm leaning more towards something being staged in the near future. Looks as if its being perfectly set up for us imo)

Usually it's nothing. Usually these events occur, and after their over, and Jesus hasn't raptured people up yet, then we all just move on to the next end of days catastrophe to make our little predictions. 

Something feels different with this one though, and I wanted to see if anyone else, who isn't a "the end is nigh" crackpot was feeling it too.

I'm not even sure I believe in a (secret) rapture at all. At least not in the way it was taught to me growing up. The scriptures just don't match up for me the way others see the rapture happening. 

I don't believe the hype, but at the same time something does seem different, and it does feel like things are stirring up to something big in our near future, and I do believe this eclipse is a starting point to the 'next stage' of the end of all this. 

I for one will be staying home that day.
Just incase some of these theories come to fruition. 
I even saw a theory this eclipse will do something to the people who took the jab and will be activating zombie mode in them after the eclipse! Lol with all this craziness, who knows though, eh?

So, what do you all think? Anyone else feel the energy building up to something? Anyone else a wee bit nervous? So much hype out there, it's hard not to.

Thanks.

Has God told you to repent? 

He has told me. 

I have a few things I need to do much better in (more time in prayer, the Scripture etc) and I feel God screaming at me to get offline and spend more time with Him. 
 

I don't believe in the rapture... I'm an Amillenial, I believe Jesus will return someday, but it won't be preceded with millions of people skipping out on the persecution of the church in the days prior to the second advent. (That's silly) 

But people who are seeing this as a sign it really might be... 

But if it's a sign, it's telling us to repent... All the blood moons and the eclipse from 2014-2017 were warnings for the Church/Israel and this eclipse is the warning for the rest. 

I believe it's time for everyone to get right with God. 

This doesn't make it the end necessarily, but it does mean if we aren't right with God we won't act in the right way to the events we are all about to face.

The above sentence is the takeaway here.

Let's just say, by some off chance the rapture was about to happen, tomorrow as I write this. I'm good with that, and it does not rattle me one bit. I trust in God's judgment. For me no matter how it plays out, I'm good with it. I am ready to stand before the almighty and find out if my name is written in that Book of Life. In my heart of hearts I know it's there. I know this because I know love. I have forgiven all wrongs against me, and hold zero malice in my heart for anyone. Thats why None of this scares me. People's reactions/ and the growing craziness epidemic (especially those who chose to reject God), and the possibility of a chicada invasion is the only thing I'm a wee bit concerned about. The bugs more than anything, truthfully lol.

If Jesus is ready to come....then come Lord come. 
If not, we'll figure out our next moves as we play this stupid little rigged game they have us trapped in.


As we grow closer, and even having wiped all my history so that I get fresh content, I am seeing the amount of eclipse articles and videos continues to rise. They really are making it sound like this is the end.  More of more theories and angles every time I look.

That's fairly common. I noticed it during the 2017 eclipse here.

What happens is, the moon's shadow blocks not just the sun's light, but also the heat that accompanies it. The temperature drop from that, however slight, causes that air in the shadow to have a reduced air pressure. Because of that reduced air pressure, air comes flowing in from warmer areas, and you get wind.

Same thing happens in these mountains just about every day. Down in the hollers, there is more shade because the mountainsides block the sunlight. But the sun comes up, and warms the air at the mountain tops, causing the higher pressure to run down the slopes to attempt to fill the relative vacuum of the shady hollers, and we get an east wind.

In the evening, it reverses as the hollers heat up from the sunlight they get between about 10 am and 4 pm, and the air tries to fly out of them back up to the lower pressure mountaintops.

The colder mass of air, heavier than the warmer air around it, causes reduced air pressure under its weight, or are you actually referring to a temperature inversion? I'm not a weather expert, but I thought that a hot air balloon rises because the hot air is pushed up by the higher pressure (or weight) of the cold air around it.

Please explain, I am perplexed.

Grace mentioned that it was a shame we didn't get Raptured, but  secretly, I am happy about that - heights make me dizzy.

We had cloud cover for it here, for the most part... but it was a good sort of cloud cover. It provided a natural filter, which helped in looking at it (we had the special filter glasses too, for those times when the cloud cover was too thin or nonexistent), and it REALLY helped with the photography of it. During the 2017 eclipse, we had clear skies, and I burned holes in a pair of the sun specs trying to get pictures and using extra lenses trying to get the image in focus through the filter glasses.

We got a cold breeze, and the light got weird. Crows and ravens lost their damned minds and started looking for a roost, and we heard an owl start hooting up the holler opposite us. All the bugs started looking for their nests or hunkering down right where they were.

I bet this is where all the glitter went to.
