God's Signs in the Heavens
00:06:04
|
|
| It says in Genesis 1, 14, God declares that he is creating the sun and the moon for signs and for seasons and for days and years. | |
| But the word signs is in there. | |
| The sun and the moon were created in the star. | |
| And we're about to see the heavens declare. | |
| Well, Luke 21, 25, Jesus says there will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars. | |
| And what do we have? | |
| We have solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, and the Revelation 12 signed in the heavens. | |
| Wow. | |
| Yeah. | |
| The events that have happened since the blood moons. | |
| Could we just kind of name some of them? | |
| Well, you did have a war in Israel during the month of Ov. | |
| As a matter of fact, I flew all the way to Israel on the 9th of Ov, Tisha Beav, with a group of pastors to comfort Israel during that time. | |
| But you saw a war in Israel. | |
| You see all these terrorist attacks. | |
| You see the rise of ISIS. | |
| You see natural disasters, all kinds of things. | |
| But to me, the main thing of the blood moons was God wants his church to repent, just like you're talking about. | |
| What I thought was fascinating, I saw this in the news the other day. | |
| You can Google this. | |
| They say the exact path of the solar lunar eclipse, or solar eclipse, I mean, the exact path of the solar eclipse across the United States voted 95% for Trump. | |
| And the fascinating thing to me is God is not interested so much in the heathen to repent as much as he wants the church to repent. | |
| Okay, judgment always begins with the house of God. | |
| And I believe God, it's a warning that we need to take the lead. | |
| As believers, God is telling us this starts first with us. | |
| And we need to repent. | |
| And it so happens, does anyone know when that eclipse is falling on the biblical calendar? | |
| This is why you need day timer. | |
| You can only have a solar eclipse on a new moon. | |
| Okay, and Israel was to base their calendar on the new moon. | |
| Well, it so happens we're about to enter the month of Elul. | |
| And the month of Elul is known as the month of repentance. | |
| It was on Elul 1 that Jonah left for 40 days to tell Nineveh to repent. | |
| It was on Elul 1 that Moses went up to Mount Sinai after the sin of the golden calf, trying to make atonement while Israel was repenting for that. | |
| It was on Elul 1 that Jesus went into the wilderness for 40 days, coming back out on Yom Kippur. | |
| Elul 1 is the month of repentance. | |
| And to have this solar eclipse at this time, it is huge significance, which we will get into more later. | |
| I can't wait. | |
| I want to know what do you think this means. | |
| This is strange. | |
| Well, I think basically it means that we as a church, we have 40 days to really repent, just like, you know, Abraham. | |
| He was interceding for Sodom and Gomorrah, trying to find at least 10 righteous. | |
| I don't know how many righteous is needed for America. | |
| But I believe, and this is what they're taught in Judaism from even 2,000 years ago. | |
| I have books from 2,000 years ago and what they taught. | |
| And they said, because the Gentiles go by the sun for their calendar, a solar eclipse represents judgment coming upon a nation. | |
| A lunar eclipse, because Israel goes by the moon, refers to judgment coming upon Israel. | |
| Okay, or to repent. | |
| You know, they need to repent. | |
| And so this, one thing, I'll go ahead and mention it now. | |
| Yeah, I do. | |
| Many people don't realize this, but World War I started in August of 1914, and there was a total solar eclipse over Eastern Europe and the Ottoman Empire. | |
| And what happens? | |
| You have this total solar eclipse, beginning of World War I, and the Ottoman Empire is destroyed. | |
| It even went over Nineveh, the same place as where Jonah was. | |
| And most people don't even know the story of Jonah except from the Bible. | |
| We read it and we saw they repented. | |
| But we don't know how God, and Jonah didn't know, which is why he fled, how God was preparing the ground before he went. | |
| Did you know there was a plague? | |
| They were found, these cuneiform tablets talking about the ancient Assyrian history. | |
| And they said there was a major plague three years before Jonah came. | |
| That was followed by a civil war. | |
| Maybe they were blaming each other for the plague in Nineveh. | |
| That was followed by another plague. | |
| Then, and NASA records this, it's one of the most famous eclipses in all of history called the Bersegele eclipse. | |
| It happened, a total solar eclipse over Nineveh a month before Jonah came. | |
| Jonah comes and he says, repent. | |
| Well, that's why they were so willing to repent. | |
| They've already suffered from a major plague, a civil war, another plague, a total solar eclipse over Nineveh. | |
| And then here comes Jonah saying you better repent. | |
| Now, obviously, the solar eclipse, they didn't receive judgment because they repented. | |
| It didn't happen for a while. | |
| So just like I never set dates for anything, but what I do say is look at the events that happen on God's calendar so you know if it's God who's speaking or not. | |
| And then hopefully we repent and judgment is stayed. | |
| But I believe judgment, because it's falling at Elul 1, over, and this is the first time a solar eclipse has ever gone over the entire United States and nowhere else in over 100 years. | |
| The last one was World War I. | |
| And guess what? | |
| It was World War I, and it was on August 21st, the same as this one. | |
| Wow. | |
