When we arrived at the church this past Sunday morning, a dear brother in the Lord gave us a couple of articles to read. This was not unusual because he always gives us CDs with sermons to review or books to read to enhance our arsenal and yearning for learning more about the Lord. This offering was nothing unusual.
Later, on Sunday night, I finally picked up the article the brother had given us and was astounded at the accuracy in which God had directed the Sunday morning message.
The two articles were about the prophetic significance of the recent total eclipse that went across America.
It seems that throughout all of recorded human history, celestial phenomena like the total eclipse have always been viewed as signs from God. According to one very significant Bible scholar, “When there is a total solar eclipse, it is (viewed as) a warning or sign to a specific nation or nations, depending on the path of the eclipse.”
This scholar actually backed up his assertion with factual, scientific data, verified by NASA. In 763 B.C. there was a total eclipse known as the Bur-Sagle eclipse, in which the path of totality was right over Nineveh. YES, the same Nineveh that God commanded Jonah to go to and call the people to repentance. First, the eclipse took place and then Jonah arrived with the message of repentance, on the first day of the Hebrew calendar month of Elul (The month of Repentance).
Fast forward to another solar eclipse on August 21, 1914. Again it was the Hebrew month of Elul (The month of Repentance). The path of totality went right over Eastern Europe. This was just before the events that led to World War I. And we all know how Eastern Europe was devastated by two wars.
Fast forward to August 21, 2017, and we had a total solar eclipse with the path of totality crossing the United States. Again it happened during the month of Elul (The month of Repentance).
Carol and I had no idea that God had given us such a profoundly accurate message!
We would like to join in with others across the country and only rebuke the storms. We would love to join with others and only speak life and blessings. But God gave us a word that this is the time to call HIS people to repentance. He gave us a message of repentance in the final days of the month of Elul (The month of Repentance).
YES, we can rebuke the storms and decree life and blessings. But we must also release the obvious warning to those who have a price to pay for their injustice and sin against God and humanity. We must also call God’s people to repentance. We must do them all.
This past Sunday morning, we did not know that we were speaking forth from a historically-documented, scientifically-proven pattern of signs from God.
We don’t know what others will do with this information and message, but as the leaders of the Fruitful Life Network and the Fruitful Life Learning Community’s network and alliance of small groups and house churches, we are calling for personal repentance on our part and all our leaders and attendees.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!
