You really have to commit to believing in coincidence to deny this.

Since the US has expelled Jesus long ago is it possible that God sends a major Quake to topple the large cross ❌ as a message that His mercy has expired for the most wicked nation ?

If all of this nation's atheists, agnostics, and other non-Christians suddenly moved to one part of the country and openly proclaimed a lack of belief in the Biblical God, then God performing "stunts" like earthquakes and eclipses and insect plagues, etc., would NOT affect any of those non-believers. Nothing "mundane" (meaning, "of the world") would even make non-believers affiliate the mundane events with a Creator.

We NEED to stop thinking like 2nd century villagers with zero education, seeing a hailstorm and falling to the ground begging God for mercy when God didn't so much send the hailstorm as He just let weather be weather. Sometimes Earth gets hail, insane winds, and earthquakes. So do other planets! They aren't punishments from God, they aren't parlor tricks by God, they aren't ANYTHING that God went out of His way to do.

If God wanted to obey your theory, and cause non-believers to turn their hearts toward Him and toward Jesus, God would perform NON-mundane events such as the ones that Daniel H Benson mentions here in these comments. He would show them things that indicate His existence, or even His Love for us. Not simple weather events.

You follow and listen to Daniel Hiccup Benson ? That explains your blindness. Verse 6 is for you to chew on.

Judgment on the Earth

24 Behold, the Lord lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants. 2 And the people will be like the priest, the servant like his master, the maid like her mistress, the buyer like the seller, the lender like the borrower, the creditor like the debtor. 3 The earth will be completely laid waste and completely despoiled, for the Lord has spoken this word. 4 The earth mourns and withers, the world fades and withers, the exalted of the people of the earth fade away. 5 The earth is also polluted [a]by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, broke the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left......

I wouldn't say I follow him, but at least HIS choice of Scripture addresses the topic(s) at hand, unlike yours.

BTW do better with your attempts at insults. "Hiccup"? Find a verse where God grants intelligence and pray on that until it works.

Uhh, not really, considering that the *simplest* of online searches shows that in the U.S. alone, we have at least 538 such giant crosses for the public to come look at: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/40418

"Includes 548 locations in the following areas: United States: AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MO, MS, NC, NJ, NY, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, WI, WV, some may be in: DC (near a border)

This file contains the roadside crosses that are throughout the nation. These are the giant crosses, the ones that are spectacles, the ones that are either alone or found in groups of three along our roadways.

The crosses are found on farmlands, along busy urban roads, near churches, and some even light up the sides of a mountain at nighttime. Many are wood, but some are made of aluminum, steel, and concrete. Some are as tiny as 15 feet, others are as enormous as 100 feet tall. They are all 3 dimensional (not just an image attached to the facade of a church). Some are impressive enough to include here when they top a church steeple."

Thank you, so much! Our Father’s Hand controls the universe and He knew this day would come! Maranatha!

The only problem with the statement "...and the first day of the first month on the Hebrew calendar will have begun...." is that this is a reference to the Pharisaic calendar, not the Essene calendar. The Pharisaic calendar shows Nisan 1 as Tuesday, April 9th of the year 5784 (see https://www.chabad.org/calendar/view/month.htm) whereas the Essene calendar shows Nisan 1 as March 20th, of the year 5949 (see https://dsscalendar.org/DSS-Greg.php?Y=2024). So the statement is correct, stating that it's the Hebrew calendar. BUT, the Hebrew calendar is (some think deliberately) off by 165 years, and (I believe) the Essene calendar is the accurate one. That does not mean that God cannot use the devices of men to make His point! I'm just saying that the Gregorian, Pharisaic, and Essene calendars are three completely different things. Study the Essenes! Jesus attended an Essene Yeshiva, as did Paul. The Essenes were the priests who stuffed the scrolls into the caves at Qumran for safekeeping.

Thank you, but this writer prefers his readers not look up facts independently. It almost always means someone can come to the comment section and correct him.

(But I'm sincere in thanking you for doing exactly that.)

Oh, I actually have a great deal of respect for Mr. Snyder. His writing is very good, and his research is extensive. The point I was trying to make is that, even when we think we're studying the right thing (e.g., Pharisaic calendar), we are still being deceived by the Nachash. Somewhere along the line a rabbi, who did not care for Christianity, managed to "adjust" the calendar. We need to be concentrating on the Essenes and the Essene calendar for our date information, as the rest is a corruption of what God really intended. See DSSCalendar.org and Dr. Johnson's work in this area. It's very good.

The Apostles in Matt 24 ask Jesus, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and "what will be the signs" of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” (notice they ask for signs Just like the Sanhedrin did, see what Jesus said. Matt 24:4-28.

Jesus says nothing about signs in the heavens, it's all about what is happening here on earth, the events prophesied in Scripture, (not in the sky) just look around and see what is happening today to fulfill scripture and that is not enough?

Jesus gives us a very clear warning,"I'm telling you ahead of time", "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. (like calling fire down from heaven (Rev 13:13). Then Jesus says the only sign in the heavens we are to look for is, what?

"For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be." The only time we are to look up, is when our redemption draws near in Christs return. Jesus sets the ground work for this when he was asked for a heavenly sign, look what Jesus said,

Matt 16 (also in Matt 12)

The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, (actually twice) they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven. But He replied to them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times? An evil(wicked) and adulterous (untrue followers) generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.”(The sign of Jonah is the resurrection of Christ-He is risen). Even at the cross these guys demand Jesus come down to prove He was the Christ. They wanted signs on their terms not what Christ said would be His signs (the signs of the times-Read Matt 24)!

It's interesting that the both the Pharisees and Sadducees who were deeply divided came together in their hostility toward Christ. In the face of the facts of Jesus' teaching (like to Nicodemus) and miracles that were happening on earth, right in front of their eyes and that were so numerous John wrote; 'And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written," These guys did not accept that evidence as valid. All the incredible miracles Jesus was doing "on earth" right in front of their eyes in real time and they demanded that Jesus prove who he said He was, (the true Messiah-"the" Son of Man) by doing what? More miracles on earth, (healing the sick raising the dead and casting out demons, preaching the Gospel by the power of the Holy Spirit and people were convicted of sin, repenting and believing, i.e. transformed lives/build His Church) no, what the Holy Spirit and Christ were doing was not good enough for them, they demanded he perform a spectacular sign from heaven, something out of this world. Jesus starts by comparing the the signs of the weather and the "signs of the times" This phrase (signs of the times) by Christ is only found here in scripture thus it can only be used in the context Jesus put it in. This refers to world events happening here on earth in the affairs of men (right in front of their eyes in real time), at that time and at all times for us today. Jesus then adds, in this context that it is a wicked (evil) generation that seeks after that kind of sign. Mark 8 states "this generation will get no other sign" (except the sign of Jonah)! What sign did Mark say would not happen? What the leaders were demanding (a sign from heaven).

What is more Amazing the resurrection the coming and power of he holy Spirit to transform lives or a solar eclipse?

In Matt 12 Jesus adds that the men of Nineveh would rise up in judgement of this generation (that seeks after another sign) than the resurrection, for they repented and believed at the sign of Jonah.

I said all of that to say this.

Jesus gave us a commission to preach the Gospel, it with the power of the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, not some eclipse. It's like saying the Bible, prophecy, the Gospel and the Holy Spirit are not enough. Jesus said you believe because you have seen, more blessed are those who believe and have not seen. Why more blessed? Because they believe by faith and not sight, they believe the sign of Jonah! Romans 10:17 faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. (and now that is nor enough)?

The Gospel is being preached all around the world via the power of the Holy Spirit and the world as Jesus said, 3 out of 4 types of people who hear it will reject it, it's a narrow path that few find, but have a solar eclipse and the whole world flocks to go see it. What wicked and adulterous generation that seeks after a sign like this. They condemn themselves for their own actions.

If there were no solar eclipses, would not the incredible miraculous prophecy fulfilling events happening here on earth be enough? Israel has returned to the land, some are building a temple to another messiah, others are now coming to Christ in numbers not seen since pentecost, a church risen up in it's own separate root branch (Romans 11). War, earthquakes famine false believers, and a false messiah.

the Great American Eclipse of 2024 is (not) meant to point us to Jesus and the cross. It is the power of the Holy Spirit and the Gospel. It's the power of Christ in our lives that convicts the world of sin. Lives that even the pagans praise God for,

1 Peter 2:12 Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation. (and again that is not enough)? The lives we should be living would have more power than any solar eclipse.

"What is more Amazing the resurrection the coming and power of he holy Spirit to transform lives or a solar eclipse?"

I think you know how this author would answer that. It must be just as profitable to sell this astrology/eclipse business as it is to be selling the phony eclipse glasses right now.

Like Christian Atheists? Or like square circles? Ahhhh, like men having babies…that’s the ticket. Symbols are just symbols and words have no meanings.

I don’t believe in “coincidences”. Everything happens for a reason. Some we’ll find out; others maybe never. But our faith is always in Christ, our redeemer. It’s closer than you think.

I’m so very excited! Thank you for giving us all the information! Let’s not forget that those who have rejected Him, are blinded and their hearts are hardened. The elect will see, will understand

. Those who are not predestined, aren’t meant to understand. They believe it is US that are foolish. Soon, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! Please be urgent about sharing His gospel to all people you cross! Fear not! They reject Him, not you! It’s the greatest privilege to share Him! We’re obligated by His merciful gift of salvation!

Blessings to all! Looking forward to meeting you in Glory!

Message in a Bottle

Ok, while Algore, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden thought the Song is about a Bottle of Massages, the message actually says, “Stop waiting for an emergency and break the bottle already!” The message in a bottle of sea water applies to all. Regardless of whether we feel separated, helpless, small, powerless, hopeless, 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️, we think we are King of the world.

Once you break the glass it is clear, regardless of color, size or shape of the bottle, the sea water in the bottle is part of the Ocean. Regardless of waves crashing or deep blue peace below. And for the Kings of the Worlds, the waves on top can’t exist with out the Ocean. But the Ocean can exist just fine with out the waves. 🧐
