The
Wedding and the Rapture in
October
2024
The second of the
two solar eclipses that will occur in 2024 will take place on
October 2nd.Of
the various types of solar eclipses that
take place, this one will be known as a “wedding ring eclipse”
because the
position of the earth, moon, and sun will be such that the sun
will appear
slightly larger than the moon, resulting in the outer corona
of the sun
appearing as a bright ring around the darkened moon.From the earth, this
will resemble a
spectacular wedding ring in the heavens.
Although rare,
wedding ring eclipses do appear from time to time.The Bible makes many
comparisons of weddings
(especially Jewish weddings) to the Rapture of the Church.The Bible also tells
us that God does nothing
without revealing it (at least) to His prophets.Furthermore, the
Bible tells us that God uses
the sun, moon, and stars to communicate to all of mankind.
Surely the Lord God does nothing
unless He reveals His secret counsel
to His servants the prophets. Amos 3:7.
The heavens declare the
glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.Day after day they
pour forth speech; night
after night they display knowledge.There is no speech or language where their voice is
not heard.Their
voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.Psalm
19:1-4.
And God said, let there
be lights in the firmament in the heaven to divide the day
from the night; and
let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and
for years.Genesis 1:14.
It is the glory of God to
conceal a thing: but the honor of kings to search out a
matter.Proverbs 25:2.
The wedding ring solar
eclipse on October 2nd will
end just after sunset in Israel.The
Feast of Trumpets, which is the traditional time many look for
the Rapture of
the Church to take place, begins at Sunset in Israel on
October 2nd.What
perfect timing!What
perfect symbolism!God
places a spectacular wedding ring on the
finger of the Bride at the beginning of the moed that is the
most anticipated time
for the Rapture of the Church to take place.
As I mentioned earlier, there
are two solar eclipses in
2024.In addition
to the wedding ring
eclipse on October 2nd, there was also a solar
eclipse on April 8th,
2024.The solar
eclipse on April 8th
was known as the Great American Eclipse because it was only
visible from the
United States, Canada, and Mexico.On
the proverbial other hand, USA Today reported that the wedding
ring eclipse on
October 2nd will be visible to a much larger
portion of mankind,
including (but not limited to) American Samoa,
Antarctica, Bolivia, Brazil, Cook Islands, Ecuador, Falkland
Islands, Fiji,
French Polynesia, Kiribati, Mexico, New Zealand, Niue,
Paraguay, Peru, Pitcairn
Islands, Samoa, South Georgia/Sandwich Islands, Tokelau, and
Tonga.
And, as if all of
this were not spectacular enough, an article written by
Michael Snyder and
posted on Rapture Ready News on September 5th,
really snatched my
attention.In his
article, Michael
Snyder said that according to Forbes, the best place to
observe the wedding
ring solar eclipse on October 2nd will be on Easter
Island.
Easter Island,
also known as Rapa Nui, is a small Polynesian island of 63
square miles, that
is home to 887 monolithic stone statues of people.These stone statues
average 33 feet in height
and 40 tons each.The
largest statue is
63 feet tall and weighs between 90 and 100 tons.The statues, also
known as the Moai, were
created for an unknown reason around 1250 to 1500 C.E.One thing that I
find particularly creepy
about these stone figures is that they all appear to be
staring upward.What
are they watching for?What
are they hoping to see?
Could they
possibly be gazing at the skies in anticipation of the God of
the Universe
placing a wedding ring on the finger of the Bride on the Feast
of Trumpets and
closing out the Dispensation of the Age of Grace that segways
into the 7-year Tribulation
which leads to the return of Jesus the Christ, the 1000-year
Millennial
Kingdom, and ultimately Eternity Future?
Or were they
constructed to attract tourists who spend money on overpriced
hotel rooms, eat
at expensive restaurants, and purchase large quantities of
worthless trinkets
to take home to friends and family?
We shall know
soon.The Feast
of Trumpets for 2024 is
less than a month away.
