‘By the word of the LORD, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the LORD will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a Shout [Roar], with the Voice of an Archangel, and with the Trumpet of God, and the Dead in Christ will be the first to rise. After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so, we will always be with the LORD.’ - 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
The purpose of
this study is to consider the prophetic ramifications of
the ‘Lion’s Roar’ Super Flare phenomena that has occurred
in the constellation of Leo. This topic came about from a
Rapture and End of Days forum, Rev12Daily.blogspot.com of the article
that was brought to ones attention by a regular
contributing member named Miguel. On July 10, 2020, an
article by Jamie Carter, Senior Contributor for science
filed a story about a huge Super Flare occurring in the
constellation of Leo. It was unusual from the onset as the
astronomical topic was posted in the Forbes Magazine
online, not normally keen on space and/or astronomical
news. Not even the highly astronomical ones picked-up on
this finding which is very interesting. The title was,
‘Huge Lion’s Roar Super Flare Seen from Japan Should be a
Wake-up Call for Earthlings’.
The question one would like to run and contribute with is,
in what sense should it be a ‘Wake-up Call’ for
Earthlings? Astronomically, politically, economically,
religiously? How about prophetically? The article went on
to discuss the finding of how Japanese astronomers
recorded a Super Flare erupting on a Sun about 20x bigger
than Earth’s Sun. This activity was detected by the Seimei
Telescope on Okayama Mountain west of Kyoto. Such a
phenomena is the first ever recorded and described. Based
on science so far observed, a Super Flare occurs near
sunspots that cause a sudden flash of increased
brightness. In some cases, a Coronal Mass Ejection CME can
occur that then forms massive magnetic storms. To get a
size comparison to regular Sun Flares from Earth’s Sun, a
Super Flare is estimated to be 10,000 times more powerful
and massive.
In other words, it would wipe out all life on Earth and
beyond if one occurred on Earth’s Sun. Nonetheless, super
flares are thought to be rather rare. As it is, regular
Solar Flares and CME’s often interfere with Earth’s
electronic grids, satellites and GPS, so much so that it
can be or will be a national security threat to nations
worldwide. Many strategists also fear and EMP bomb, an
Electro Magnetic Pulse devise that is detonated in the
atmosphere above a city would knock-out an entire nation’s
power grid for decades. However, what was interesting is
the tone of the writer’s ‘voice’ in that it should be a
‘wake-up call’ for Earthlings. How so?
A Super Flare
A Super Flare can eventually sweep-away any atmosphere
and life on a planet would go extinct, such as on Earth.
He may have not realized but in the book of Revelation,
such scenarios will occur. Revelation 8:7 states, ‘The 1st
Angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled
with blood, and they were cast upon the Earth: and the 1/3
part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt
up.’ If a possible Super Flare is to occur on Earth,
Revelation 16:8-9 would probably be it. ‘Then the 4th
Angel poured out his Bowl on the Sun, and it was given
power to scorch the people with fire. And the people were
scorched by intense heat, and they cursed the Name of GOD,
who had authority over these plagues; yet they did not
repent and give Him glory’. Such a grim and apocalyptic
scenario threatening Earthlings will occur; the warning is
pertinent.
The article went on to describe that such a massive Super
Flare had never been seen nor recorded before. It would
basically kill-off any life in any nearby planets the Sun
might have revolving around it. The point the writer was
making is that in turn, such a dire model could also occur
with Earth’s Sun. This type of Super Flare would have dire
consequences for Earthlings as he put it. The difference
though is that it is known that where the Super Flare has
occurred, in AD Leonis is a Giant Red Dwarf M-type of Sun.
Meaning that it is far denser in mass and cooler than
Earth’s Sun. Or in other words, it may be a comparison of
‘apples to oranges’. The writer then goes on to explain
where the Super Flare occurred, in the Star or Sun called
AD Leonis, as noted. It is also called Gliese 388 in the
constellation of Leo, the Lion. It occurred close to the
Star Algeiba, which means 'to be Exalted'. This area is in
the Lion’s ‘neck’ or what others who study the meaning of
the constellations call the ‘Sickle’. This is the most
interesting part of the study, by far due to its prophetic
depiction and possible Rapture event implications.
The writer incorporated a euphemism of this Super Flare
effect as being like a ‘Roar of a Lion’ in his title but
did not touch upon it other than in a scientific setting,
which is fair. However, one who studies the End of Days
wishes to present a possible prophetic significance beyond
that of this finding in the context of the Biblical
Rapture event and possible interpretation. If one is
familiar with Biblical Astronomy, one will realize just
how amazing this finding is to consider. It is believed
that the 12 constellations are a patchwork of a story-line
that explains the whole Plan of Salvation found in Jesus
Christ. It is the Creator’s way of having such a message
-much like billboards do, announce to the whole Universe
of what YHVH did, is doing and will do.
Every constellation explains a facet of YHVH’s Plan of
Salvation and in the case of the constellation of Leo, it
is a metaphor and euphemism for the ‘Lion of the Tribe of
Judah’, Jesus Christ. This is none other than a Royal and
Messianic title of Jesus Christ, who was from the Tribe of
Judah. He is the King of the Universe and more
appropriately, Leo is the Sign of this King and also has
the Star, Regulus called the Star of the King. The symbol
of the Israelite tribe of Judah was a Lion as is
Jerusalem, the ‘City of the King’, etc. As one can sense,
this Celestial Sign is thus significant Biblically in so
much as it is referencing a ‘Roar’ or Shout that is to
occur that initiates the Rapture event. To reiterate, the
head of Leo depicts a ‘Sickle’ motif as Jesus is the LORD
of the Harvest.
The Lion King
This Rapture
event is when the souls of all those that are Followers
and Disciples of Christ Jesus will be ‘harvested’. It will
be the Rapture event that will conclude with the harvest
of the Church Age Saints that will compose the Bride of
Christ to be taken from Earth to Heaven. The following
section will outline the Biblical and astronomical nuances
of the significance of Leo and then how this Super Flare
occurrence or ‘Sign’ might fit prophetically in the
implications of the coming and anticipated Rapture event,
i.e., the 'Rapture Roar?'. The constellation of Leo is the
end of the story-line of the 12 constellations and YHVH's
Plan of Salvation.
It is Virgo that is the beginning of the Mazzaroth in
contrast to Leo that closes the circuit. This is how the
Ancients depicted the Sphinx with. Thus, it is Leo that
ends all prophecy as it is depicting, astronomically. Leo
will end the Church Age as Jesus Christ descends with the
‘Shout’ or in this case, a 'Roar' as I Thessalonians 4
states. It will be the Rapture event that will set the
world stage for the coming last Sabbatical Cycle or the
Tribulation Period. This will be the 70th Week of Years
per Daniel to conclude all Biblical prophecy and have
Christ Jesus set up His Kingdom on Earth, as it is in
Heaven.
As the Angel told John in Revelation 19:10, 'The aim of
all Biblical prophecy is to tell of Jesus’. It is Jesus
that will eventually return and restore all things. The
following astronomical highlights of the description of
Leo are taken from the work and research of E.W. Bullinger
and will be in paraphrase format. The constellation of Leo
has 95 stars however there are 9 that are more prominent
and make-up the points that configure a ‘Lion’ motif
design in the night sky. There are actually 6 Hebrew words
for Lion. In Arabic, for example a Lion is called Al Asad
like Assad of Syria, the ‘Syrian Lion’, etc.
Astronomically speaking, there are 3 constellations ruled
by Leo that completes this final picture of the YHVH’s
Plan of Redemption that started with Genesis 3:15 in the
Garden of Eden.
1.
Hydra
= the Old Serpent destroyed.
2.
Crater
= the Cup of Divine wrath poured out upon Serpent.
3. Corvus = the
Bird of prey devouring Serpent.
Leo is the constellation of the King of the Universe and
it contains at its ‘heart’, ‘Cor Leonis’ is the Star of
the King, Regulus as mentioned. It comes from the root
word for regal, or royal and that of majesty and of a
kingly demeanor. Revelation 5:5 foretells of a time when
time will conclude and the Judgement Day will come by why
of the ‘Lion of Judah’. It will be none other than this
‘Lion of Judah’, Jesus Christ that is the only one worthy
to beak the Seals Judgments of the Scroll in Heaven. He
will then pronounce its righteous judgements upon the
Christ-rejecting Earthlings and Lucifer. This is the real
threat and caution the Earthlings should be afraid of and
will. This ‘Lion’ of Judah is a man, Jesus that became
human, died and resurrected to qualify to open the Seal
Judgments as He had no sin as a man. Jesus has now been
given all power and authority in Heaven, on Earth and
under the Earth because He laid down His life for sinners
to redeem Eve’s fall and that of Adam and Humanity’s, all
inclusive.
The Rapture
Roar?
This was
appropriately depicted in C.S. Lewis’ Aslan the Lion. In
the Chronicles of Narnia, Aslan was representative of
Jesus Christ that was mocked and killed at the altar of
His Enemies of all that is called good and righteous. This
Lion of Judah, the Messiah is also the symbol of Jerusalem
whose alternative name is also Ariel. The coat of arms of
the city is a boxing Lion. As noted, it was the standard
of the tribe of Judah as it encamped around the Tabernacle
of Moses, etc. There is also the Lion Gate in Jerusalem,
where Jesus started the Via Dolorosa, all the way to
Calvary, etc. It was from there that the city was
liberated from the Muslims in the 6-Day War in 1967.
In the constellation Virgo, the ‘Lion’ was born from the
Virgin as foretold by Isaiah that it would be a ‘Sign’ to
Israel and the world of the coming redemption of Humanity.
As noted, these Celestial Signs echo the promise that
reverberates from the contention that set the stage for
such a cosmic and prophetic timeline since the Garden of
Eden. The Woman would have her ‘Seed’, that of the Messiah
war with the Seed of the Serpent. This typology by one
interpretation is encapsulated as the motif of the age-old
riddle of the Sphinx. The Sphinx is the encoding of the
‘Alpha and Omega’ of Leo and Virgo.
The story-line of Leo or the Lion of Judah that is spoken
in the Old Testament is concluded in the New Testament’s
last book, that of Revelation. The last book of the Bible
portrays the Lion of Judah or ‘Leo’ overcoming the Old
Dragon Serpent. Jesus will cast Lucifer into the prison
and then eventually into the Lake of Fire. Astronomically,
the feet of Leo are treading upon the head of Hydra, the
Serpent of the Cosmos. Leo is descending upon it as to
mortally crush its head. This echoes what YHVH foretold
would occur as Messiah would crush the head of the Serpent
at the Cross of Calvary. The following are the main Stars
in the constellation of Leo with their prophetic meaning
that defines their attributes, destiny and meaning of the
Messiah’s mission.
Denebola
= the Judge or Lord
who comes.
Zosma
= the Shining forth.
Aleced
= the Judge comes who seizes.
Al Giebha =
the Exaltation.
Chertan
= the Rib (Adam’s Rib).
Sarcam
=
the Joining.
al Asad
= the punishing or treading of the Lion.
Regulus
=
treading under foot.
Al Dafera =
the Enemy put down.
If one does a narration of these words combined, it would
say something like the following. ‘The Lion King will come
to judge and be LORD over all. In His majesty, He comes to
rapture His own and be exalted as He will exalt His own.
He comes to join His Bride as the rib taken from Adam’s
side as He subdues all His Enemies’. However, this ‘Lion
of Judah’ first had to come as the ‘Lamb of GOD’ to atone
for the sins of Eve and Adam's fallen race, etc. Now, as
to the Rapture sequence, it is stated clearly in I
Thessalonians 14 that Jesus is coming back with a loud
‘Shout’ or Command. With the Lion personification
explained, this is none other than the ‘Roar’ inferred
astronomically with the Super Flare that is protruding out
of the ‘mouth’ of Leo, thus the Rapture Roar?
What is the
prophetic connection is that the area occurs in the Star
of Al Giebha which means, ‘the Exaltation’. It is
understood prophetically that at the time of the Rapture,
the Bride of Christ will rise and decreed to be exalted to
the Throne of YHVH to then to be married. It will be the
time of vindication and justification for all the
centuries the Bride of Christ has suffered on Earth at the
hands of her mockers and accusers. Thus, the question
remains, does this Astronomical Sign occurring in Leo
allude to the nearness of the coming and anticipated
Rapture ‘Roar’ or Shout? One does not know when the
Rapture event is to take place or what year but it does
appear that such Signs in the Sun, Moon and the Stars are
becoming more frequent and pertinent to the Rapture event
typology.
As Signs go, the Sign is not the event itself but one that
signals the event to come ahead of it. As to the timing of
the Rapture then? This is an unknown, however, it is
amazing that if what one is reading into such an
astronomical array of Signs is true, especially with this
one in the 'Lion's Roar', it would appear that it is in
keeping with Biblical prophecy. It is of the Royal Decree,
that the coming ‘Shout of the King’, the ‘Rapture Roar’ of
the Lion of the Tribe of Judah is about to come to pass.
It will be the Call or ‘Shout’ to ‘harvest’ as Christ
Jesus is to take His ‘Sickle’ to assemble the Bride of
Christ at the end of this Church Age. Nonetheless, the
timing of and where this Super Flare in Leo has taken
place is thus far very interesting.
Many who study the timelines of YHVH’s Feasts suggest that
mid to end of July is when the true Pentecost harvest of
wheat is to occur. Is one reading too much into this event
prophetically? Perhaps, but what if this is celestial
inference to the ‘Sickle of Leo’ harvest and ‘Roar’ or
‘Shout’ is conveying the ‘Rapture Roar’ of I Thessalonians
4? Does this Celestial Sign at this place and time then
truly is signaling the soon coming Rapture event? Will it
be in 2020? Also interesting is that starting on July 20,
2020, the comet 2020 F3 NEOWISE will be just above the
constellation of Leo running along the Big Dipper. This
comet came suddenly, surprisingly and spectacularly. Is
this not the description of how the Rapture event is
anticipated to occur?
