Hello John and Doves,This is Part 2 of my other Doves letter today ' September New Moon...'This letter adds more about the "Ring of Fire" eclipse that's coming on Rosh Hashanah - October 2."In 2024, there will be a total of 2 solar eclipses. The first happened on April 8th, 2024. That was known as the "Great American Eclipse of 2024"; and it occurred just after the sun had gone down in Israel and the first day of the first month of the Hebrew calendar had begun." ((The Great American Solar Eclipse on April 8 is just an extra reason why I believe the biblical New Year began on April 8 and not March 11. Everything is tied together. Nothing happens by coincidence.))"The second solar eclipse of 2024 will take place on October 2nd. When it occurs, the sun will have just gone down in Israel and the festival of Rosh Hashanah will have just started.""Is it just a coincidence that the first solar eclipse of 2024 just happened to fall on the very first day of the very first month of the Hebrew calendar, and the second solar eclipse of 2024 just happens to fall on the day that is celebrated as "the Jewish New Year"?What is a "Ring of Fire" eclipse? "Annular eclipses are a very special type of solar eclipse. During an annular eclipse, the Moon is centered in front of the Sun but doesn't completely obscure it, instead leaving a ring of sunlight visible around the Moon's edge. This circle is called an annulus, or sometimes a "ring of fire". These eclipses can only occur when the moon is a micromoon - "the Moon is at the furthest point from the Earth in its orbit."The maximum eclipse beings at 1845 UTC. EST is 4 hours behind UTC.In Jerusalem - this partial eclipse beings at 6:42 PM. "On October 2nd, the sun will go down at 6:22 PM and that is precisely when the festival of Rosh Hashanah will start.""So when this eclipse begins, the festival of Rosh Hashanah will have just commenced.""During the fall festivals last year, the current war in the Middle East began when Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on October 7th, 2023. (October 7, 2023 was Shemini Atzeret - The Last Great Day. The day after the seven days of Feast of Tabernacles - the last of the Lord's feast days for 2023. Was that a coincidence?)"Will something unusual also happen during the fall festivals this year.""Many people out there are entirely convinced that the solar eclipses of 2024 are just completely random events that have no significance whatsoever. But Jesus did specifically warn us that "there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon and in the stars" in the last days, and in order to have a solar eclipse the sun and the moon must both be involved.""Here in 2024 we have already witnessed a solar eclipse on the very first day of the very first month on the Biblical calendar, and now we are going to witness a solar eclipse on the very first day of the seventy month on the Biblical calendar which is considered to be "the Jewish New Year.""If this is just a coincidence, it is a really, really bizarre one. Could it be possible that someone is trying to get our attention?""...buckle up and hold on tight, because I have a feeling that the chaos that we have seen so far will be nothing compared to the chaos that is coming.""A mesmerizing astronomical event is on the horizon as the Moon prepares to pass between the Earth and the Sun, creating a stunning annual solar eclipse.":"..this eclipse will be visible as a partial solar eclipse" to parts of South America - southern Chile and Argentina - and Patagonia as it crosses over the Pacific Ocean. Live streaming will be provided at Space.com and the Planetario Galileo-Galilei in Buenos Aires."Whether you are located within the path of annularity or watching from a distance, this eclipse is a must-see event that highlights the beauty and complexity of our solar system."A more complete list of who can view this eclipse and who can view part of this eclipse: Several cities in Hawaii, Falkland Islands, Pitcairn Islands, Uruguay, Fiji, Cook Islands, Antarctica, Samoa, Mexico, Ecuador, New Zealand.....For Jerusalem - The Harvest Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse begins on Wednesday September 18 at 3:41 AM. This will be on 15 Elul. The Partial Eclipse will reach maximum at 5:44 AM and ends about 6:15 AM September 18. Duration 2 hours, 49 minutes.This partial Lunar Eclipse will be visible over Israel - and North and South America, Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
September 18, 2024 Partial Lunar Eclipse in Jerusalem, Israel
The Ring of Fire Eclipse will not be visible from Israel this time. But can be watched on live streaming.I am always interested in eclipses - as I see these as signs in the sun and the moon. Will these 2024 eclipses just be more coincidences? With everything else that's going on...they seem significant this year.Pray for the peace of Jerusalem~Maranatha~Chance
