Is it just a coincidence that the “Comet of the Century” has appeared just as all-out war is about to erupt in the Middle East and a presidential election that has the potential to change life in America forever is about to be decided?  Perhaps you do think that it is just a coincidence, and you are certainly entitled to that opinion.  But my personal opinion is that it is not a coincidence that this comet has appeared at this specific moment in history.  In this article, I am going to share some truly remarkable things that I have discovered about this comet, and that will include some things that I did not learn until today.

In Genesis 1:14, the Bible specifically tells us that one of the reasons why God created the lights in the heavens was because He intended to use them as “signs”…

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years

And in Luke chapter 21, Jesus warned us that there would be “signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars” in the days prior to His return.

So anyone that attempts to claim that events in the heavens never have any meaning is directly contradicting the Bible.

All throughout human history, there have been important signs in the heavens.

And now the “Comet of the Century” is here.

This comet’s official designation is “comet C/2023 A3”, but it is also known as Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, and right now people all over the Internet are talking about it…

Unless you’ve been on a hiking holiday in Outer Mongolia for the past year you’ve probably heard that there’s going to be a “bright comet” in the sky next month. It’s everywhere!

It’s called comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), and you’re likely to be hearing a lot about it over the coming weeks.

Already you can’t go on social media without seeing half a dozen news stories announcing “the comet of the century is coming!” illustrated with an AI-generated graphic showing a brilliant ball of light with a glowing tail stretched out behind it.

The reason why the comet’s official designation has “2023” in it is because it was originally discovered in early 2023…

As always, the name of the comet itself reveals important details about it, its official name is C/2023 A3 and proceeding in order the letter C indicates that it is a non-periodic comet, the number 2023 that was discovered in 2023, the letter A that its first observation took place in the first half of January and finally the number 3 indicates that it was the third object discovered in that same period. In reality, however, the official confirmation of the discovery of this comet took place on February 22, 2023.

We have now reached the time when it will start to become visible in the sky in the northern hemisphere, and that is very exciting.

According to an article that was posted by Wired, it was being projected that the date when the comet would shine the brightest would be October 2nd…

C/2023 A3 will shine in the northern hemisphere sky from September 27 and will remain visible until the last week of October. During this period, the comet will reach its minimum distance from the sun, before beginning its journey back out of the solar system.

According to the specialized blog Cometography, the day when C/2023 A3 will shine the brightest will be October 2. The comet’s tail will be long and spectacular at this point due to its proximity to the sun.

As I discussed in a previous article, Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on October 2nd.

In addition, there will also be a “ring of fire” solar eclipse on October 2nd.

So on Rosh Hashanah the “Comet of the Century” will be the brightest at the exact same time that a spectacular “ring of fire” eclipse is appearing in the sky.

That is quite a “coincidence”.

There will only be two solar eclipses during 2024.

The first was the Great American Eclipse on April 8th, and the second will be the “ring of fire” eclipse on October 2nd.

The “ring of fire” eclipse will only be visible for a very short time, but the “Comet of the Century” will continue to be visible throughout much of October.

On October 9th and 10th, the comet will “pass almost directly between Earth and the Sun”…

Thanks to pure good fortune, comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) will then pass almost directly between Earth and the Sun on October 9 and 10.

This could cause a spectacular brightening of the comet, thanks to “forward scattering” caused by its dust. Imagine looking towards a bright light source through a cloud of dust grains. The grains nearest to the light source will scatter light from the source back towards you.

If conditions are just right, and right now we don’t know if that will be the case or not, there is a possibility that this comet could actually become visible during daylight hours for a short period of time…

As the comet swings between Earth and the Sun, it will be perfectly placed for this forward scattering process to occur. If the comet is particularly dusty, this could cause its apparent brightness to increase by up to 100 times.

If it does, there’s a small chance the comet could briefly become visible in the daylight sky on October 9 and 10.

We won’t know for sure if this will actually happen until then, but if it does happen it will make news all over the globe.

Subsequently, “the Comet of the Century” will come closest to our planet on October 12th…

By the time C/2023 A3 passes closest to Earth on Oct. 12, skywatchers can find it in the evening sky, shortly after sunset.

It turns out that Yom Kippur just happens to fall on October 12th this year.

That’s right.

The “Comet of the Century” will be closest to Earth on one of the most important days on God’s prophetic calendar.

But I suppose that is just a “coincidence” too.

We are being told that the comet will appear to “rapidly climb in the western sky” and will become “a bright, naked-eye object for a few days” starting on Yom Kippur…

After swinging between Earth and the Sun, the comet will appear in the evening sky. It will rapidly climb in the western sky, and should be a bright, naked-eye object for a few days from October 12. The sliders below will give you a sense of where to look.

For the first few days of this period, the comet will still benefit from the forward scattering of sunlight, but this will decrease as it moves away.

Could this comet be a sign of war?

We are so close to the unthinkable, and it appears that there will be no turning back now.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has announced that his nation “will continue to fight against the Hezbollah terrorist organization with all our strength until victory and the safe return of the residents of the north to their homes.”

That means that all-out war is coming.

And as I write this article we are only about 40 days away from the most pivotal presidential election in any of our lifetimes.

At this point, everyone should be able to see that we are entering a period of extreme chaos.

But a lot of people out there have not wanted to listen to any of the warnings, and they certainly are not interested in any signs in the sky.

That is extremely unfortunate, because none of us will be able to avoid what is soon coming upon this planet.

There will be 3 spectacular events in the heavens within the next 30 days.  A “blood moon” lunar eclipse will happen this week, the “comet of the century” will begin to appear in the night sky later this month, and a “ring of fire” solar eclipse will happen on October 2nd.  Needless to say, it is very unusual for so many historic heavenly events to occur so close to one another.  And of course these signs in the heavens are all happening at a time when our entire planet is rapidly descending into a state of complete and utter chaos.

On Tuesday night, we will witness something truly special.

It isn’t every day that we get to see a partial lunar eclipse during a “supermoon”…

Turn your eyes to the sky on Tuesday for an extra special full moon.

The harvest moon, or closest full moon to the autumnal equinox, will also be a supermoon, appearing larger and brighter in the night sky. If that wasn’t enough, there will also be a partial lunar eclipse.

The full moon and lunar eclipse will be Tuesday night, Sept. 17, into Wednesday morning.

We are being told that during this partial lunar eclipse the moon will turn “blood red”…

Stargazers will be treated to a moon that is 14 per cent larger than normal. It will be blood red in colour, creating an eerie autumn effect.

The color – called a blood moon – is seen during partial or total lunar eclipses.

The twin event will be visible in Europe, South America, Africa, and much of North America.

Much of the civilized world will get to see this blood red moon.

Subsequently, a spectacular comet that has been dubbed “the comet of the century” by astronomers will be visible in the night sky starting in late September…

C/2023 A3, also known as Tsuchinshan–ATLAS and considered “the comet of the century,” will appear in all its splendor in our sky during September and October 2024. Due to its characteristics, astronomers believe it will be exceptionally bright, similar to Halley’s comet in 1986 or NEOWISE in 2020.

Apparently you will be able to see this comet even if you aren’t using a telescope.

It is being reported that it will be shining the brightest on October 2nd…

C/2023 A3 will shine in the northern hemisphere sky from September 27 and will remain visible until the last week of October. During this period, the comet will reach its minimum distance from the sun, before beginning its journey back out of the solar system.

According to the specialized blog Cometography, the day when C/2023 A3 will shine the brightest will be October 2. The comet’s tail will be long and spectacular at this point due to its proximity to the sun.

Okay, this is beginning to get really weird.

Do you remember what else is happening on October 2nd?

For those that do not remember, there will be a “ring of fire” Rosh Hashanah eclipse on October 2nd…

The “ring of fire” eclipse—also known as an annular solar eclipse—is a month away, and although Hawaii is the only U.S. state that will be within the partial path of viewing, parts of Chile and Argentina will see the entire eclipse, while other South American countries will also be in the partial or full path.

So let me get this straight.

A “ring of fire” solar eclipse will literally be occurring on the exact same day that “the comet of the century” is the brightest.

And all of this will be happening just as the festival of Rosh Hashanah is beginning.

As I discussed in a previous article, only 2 solar eclipses occur in 2024, and both of them fall on very noteworthy dates…

Why do solar eclipses keep falling on such noteworthy dates?  In 2024, there will be a total of just 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 on the Hebrew calendar had begun.  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.

In recent years, we have seen so many noteworthy eclipses happen, but most of the population is still not paying attention.

And most of the population also doesn’t seem to realize that our planet is becoming increasingly unstable.

On Monday, southern California was shaken by yet another sizable earthquake…

A magnitude 3.6 earthquake struck in Southern California early Monday, according to the United States Geological Survey, marking the second temblor to hit the region in less than five days.

The earthquake took place west of Los Angeles and was its epicenter was recorded about 3.5 miles north of Malibu, the USGS reported.

Further north along the North American coastline, we just witnessed a magnitude 6.5 earthquake…

A magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck off the coastal city of Port McNeill, in British Columbia, Canada, on Sunday, the United States Geological Survey said.

The quake’s epicenter in the Pacific Ocean was at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles) below the seabed, the USGS said.

Why can’t more people understand what is happening?

As I discussed a few days ago, earthquake activity in California is literally breaking records, and yet hardly anyone seems alarmed.

Before I end this article, let me throw just one more thing at you…

In a bit of ominous news befitting a Friday the 13th: It turns out that the asteroid Apophis could have a very small chance of colliding into Earth in five years, when it is expected to make a close flyby on April 13, 2029 − yes, a Friday the 13th. But we’d have to be extremely unlucky.

There’s still no cause for concern – at least not yet. For the asteroid named for an Egyptian god of chaos to pose a risk to Earth, it would need to be hit by another space rock at just the right angle to redirect the city-killer on a collision course.

Those odds? About one-in-2-billion.

They are now admitting that there is an extremely small chance that Apophis could actually hit us.

Personally, I am far more concerned about the giant space rocks that they haven’t even discovered yet.

Our region of space has been getting really busy in recent years, and it is only a matter of time before we get hit by something really big.

But for now life continues to go on as normal, and most people are paying very little attention to what is happening in the skies above us.

What in the world is happening in California?  The state just keeps getting hit by major disaster after major disaster, but we are all supposed to pretend that this is perfectly normal.  Of course the truth is that what we are witnessing is not normal at all.  As you will see below, California just set a very alarming new record for earthquakes in a single year.  In addition, the number of acres that wildfires have burned in the state this year is about three times higher than last year.  So please don’t try to convince me that this is normal.  Of course it isn’t just the state of California that is experiencing an unusual number of natural disasters.  As I have been warning for a long time, our entire planet is becoming increasingly unstable.

Early on Thursday morning, residents of southern California were shaken by a magnitude 4.7 earthquake…

A large, 4.7-magnitude earthquake rattled parts of Southern California early Thursday, according to the US Geological Survey.

The quake struck the Malibu area around 7:28 a.m. with an initial magnitude of 5.1, officials said. It has since been downgraded to 4.7.

The epicenter of this quake was in Malibu, but people living all over the Los Angeles area could feel it…

The 7:28 a.m. quake was centered in the Malibu area. Shaking from the earthquake was reported in Malibu, Hermosa Beach, La Mirada, Anaheim, the Hollywood Hills and parts of the San Fernando Valley so far.

I even saw one report that indicated that the earthquake could be felt all the way down in San Diego.

Following the initial quake, there were over two dozen aftershocks.

By itself, this latest earthquake wouldn’t be that big of a deal, because very little damage was done.

What makes it important is the larger pattern that we have been witnessing.  According to USGS seismologist Lucy Jones, the number of “magnitude-4 sequences” that we have seen so far this year is the highest ever recorded…

In a televised Q&A just after the temblor, USGS seismologist Lucy Jones said: “We have had more than the average [number of] magnitude-4 quakes in Southern California this year — the average being about eight magnitude-4 sequences, that being sequences of at least one magniture-4 … So far we’ve had 14 in Southern California; the largest previous year was 13.”

So what does all of this mean?

Is all of this seismic activity in southern California building up to something?

If you ask one scientist you will get one answer, and if you ask another scientist you will get another answer.

But pretty much all of them agree that “the Big One” is way overdue.

When “the Big One” finally arrives, life in southern California will never be the same again.

At the same time that all of this shaking is taking place in southern California, wildfires in the region are burning tens of thousands of acres.

Firefighters are battling three major wildfires at this moment, and it is being reported that the Bridge Fire has now “exploded” and has become “the largest active fire in the state”…

A raging wildfire in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties has exploded to almost 50,000 acres, forcing residents to flee in a hurry and destroying dozens of homes.

The Bridge Fire has set over 51,000 acres ablaze and is 0% contained, officials said Thursday. Its rapid growth made it the largest active fire in the state, surpassing the Line Fire, which is also burning in San Bernardino and has scorched another 37,000 acres with 18% containment.

One evacuee described a harrowing scene on Tuesday as flames reached a neighborhood atop California’s Mt. Baldy. Looking at the mountain from afar, “it looked like a nuke went off, nothing but smoke,” Liz Wenzel said.

Can you imagine looking back at where your home once stood and seeing that it looks “like a nuke went off”?

What a tragedy.

You may be thinking that there are wildfires in California every year, and you would be quite correct.

But what we are witnessing this year is particularly horrible.

We are being told that the state has already “seen nearly three times as much acreage burn than during all of 2023″…

California is only now heading into the teeth of the wildfire season but already has seen nearly three times as much acreage burn than during all of 2023. The wildfires have threatened tens of thousands of homes and other structures across Southern California since they accelerated during a triple-digit heat wave over the weekend.

Just think about that for a moment.

The number of acres that has burned in California is already three times higher than all of last year, and we are just now entering the heart of wildfire season for the state.

Of course we are also seeing lots of very unusual things happen elsewhere around the world too.

For instance, the number of hailstorms in Europe appears to be increasing at an exponential rate…

Having analysed the European Severe Weather Database, Chaucer said that the number of hailstorms has jumped 104% to 11,808 storms last year (year-ending June 30th 2024), up from 5,785 in 2022/23.

That certainly isn’t good.

And earlier today I came across a story about a landslide in Greenland that caused a mega-tsunami that “shook the Earth for nine straight days”…

After a mountaintop collapsed into the sea in Greenland, a ‘mega-tsunami’ as tall as a skyscraper shook the Earth for nine straight days, baffling scientists around the world.

No one was injured by the landslide or resulting tsunami, but the 650-foot-tall wave destroyed roughly $200,000 worth of infrastructure at an unoccupied research station on Ella Island.

We all live on a giant space rock that is hurtling through space at 67,000 miles per hour.

All throughout history, the giant space rock that we live on has been unstable, but now things seem to be getting a lot worse.

I am entirely convinced that we are entering a time when we will see cataclysmic geophysical events that would have once been absolutely unthinkable to most people.

In other words, if you have always wondered what it would be like to be inside an epic Hollywood disaster movie, you are about to get your chance.

So buckle up and hold on tight, because a tremendous amount of shaking is ahead of us.

The giant ball of fire that our planet revolves around has been far more active than scientists originally anticipated this year, and that could have very serious implications for all of us in the months ahead.  Fluctuations in solar activity affect our climate more than anything else does, and we also tend to see more earthquakes when solar activity is at elevated levels.  The current solar cycle is supposed to reach a peak at some point during the next 12 months, but so far there are no signs that solar activity is slowing down.  In fact, the average number of sunspots that we witnessed last month was the highest that we have seen since 2001…

The average number of sunspots reached 215.5 in August, according to the Solar Influences Data Analysis Center at the Royal Observatory in Belgium. It’s the highest number since Sept.-Dec. 2001, according to SpaceWeather.com. July’s total was 196.5. Last month, NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center issued a preliminary statement that solar activity is at its highest since March 2001.

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

Scientists were originally projecting that we would see about half as many sunspots during the month of August…

Experts had predicted that August would only see half as many sunspots, indicating that the solar maximum is imminent, and it may be more active than anticipated, possibly bringing intense solar flares and coronal mass ejections.

The number of sunspots has been increasing at an exponential rate for the past couple of months.

Hopefully we will get a reprieve here in September.

Because if we don’t, we could see more severe geomagnetic storms like we did in May…

In May 2024, Earth experienced its strongest geomagnetic storm in over 20 years, with auroras visible much farther south than usual, including regions as far as Florida and Mexico. If another large sunspot appears around the time of the September equinox, it could lead to a similar or even stronger event.

When a very large geomagnetic storm occurs, it can disrupt our lives in countless ways.

Back in May, even farm equipment was dramatically affected…

Ronald Rabon, the owner of Double R Farms, said back in May when the G-5 extreme solar magnetic levels occurred, he was out spraying his cotton field when his equipment started acting up.

“I didn’t know what was wrong with it,” Rabon said. “All I knew, it was, and you could get it straightened up and go for a few minutes. And it might go 20, 30 minutes and whatever minutes from then, all of a sudden, you’d be going through the field and it might just take a left.”

Rabon said one of the biggest problems with the solar flares is preventing his sprayers from being accurate. His GPS uses precise alignments for spraying, and when knocked out of its track, could overspray his crop and kill it.

Of course if our planet is hit by a large enough storm, it could fry power grids, take down the Internet, and cause massive societal problems all over the world.

Hopefully such a scenario will not play out any time soon.

All of the solar activity that we have been witnessing is also the primary reason why there has been so much intense heat this summer…

Summer broke global heat records for the second straight year, scientists have confirmed — putting 2024 firmly on track to be the hottest year in recorded history.

The period between June and August — summer in the Northern Hemisphere — was the world’s hottest such period since records began in 1940, according to data published Friday by Copernicus, Europe’s climate change service.

Much more importantly, there tends to be a lot of seismic activity when solar activity is very high, and that is precisely what has been occurring.

In particular, a lot of experts are quite alarmed about all of the shaking that we have seen in California lately…

Residents in California experienced a swarm of five earthquakes within the last 48 hours.

A 4.4-magnitude was felt in the north around Lake County on Saturday and two more struck the area the following evening, ranked as a 2.7 and 2.8-magnitude.

Locals in southern California also reported two more quakes on Saturday, with the largest ranking a 3.9-magnitude.

Within the past 7 days, there have been more than 900 earthquakes in California and Nevada.

As I discussed the other day, I am extremely concerned about the instability that we have been witnessing on the west coast.

This is something that I will be watching very, very closely during the months to come.  In my brand new book, I explain why I believe that we have entered a time when we will see historic earthquakes of absolutely epic proportions.

Of course it isn’t just the U.S. that will be affected.

There has also been a lot of shaking south of the border lately too.

On September 6th, a gigantic crack in the Earth that suddenly opened up actually swallowed four cows…

A large earth crack opened in Ejido J. Cruz Gálvez, located in the Hermosillo municipality of Sonora, Mexico, on September 6, 2024, swallowing four cows.

The crack is reported to be approximately 3 km (1.8 miles) long and 1.5 m (5 feet) wide, with a depth of 4 m (13 feet) in some sections.

According to the rancher who recorded a video of the crack, it swallowed four cows. Local authorities have not yet issued any statements regarding the matter.

It is not normal for a crack in the Earth that is 3 kilometers long to appear out of nowhere.

When will people finally start to wake up?

Our planet is becoming increasingly unstable, and this should deeply alarm all of us.

Meanwhile, the skies above our heads are becoming increasingly active as well.

For example, a giant space rock that is “approximately the size of two football fields” will come flying by our planet on September 15th…

An asteroid approximately the size of two football fields is set to make a close approach to Earth this month. According to the New York Post, the 720-foot-wide asteroid named 2024 ON, will pass around 620,000 miles from our planet on September 15. While this distance might seem vast, it’s remarkably close in astronomical terms – equivalent to just 2.6 times the distance between our planet and the Moon. However, it poses no threat to Earth.

The good news is that this particular giant space rock is definitely going to miss us.

In the future, we may not be so fortunate.

So much is happening in the skies above our heads, but most of the population is not paying attention.

Unfortunately, it is just a matter of time before major events start to happen that none of us will be able to ignore.

Why do solar eclipses keep falling on such noteworthy dates?  In 2024, there will be a total of just 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 on the Hebrew calendar had begun.  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.

I realize that this is a lot to process, and so let it sink in for a moment.

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 on 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”?

Let me try to break all of this down one step at a time.

According to Daily Galaxy, on October 2nd we will witness “a stunning annular solar eclipse”…

A mesmerizing astronomical event is on the horizon as the Moon prepares to pass between the Earth and the Sun, creating a stunning annular solar eclipse.

This rare celestial occurrence, where the Moon is positioned just far enough from Earth to leave a brilliant ring of sunlight visible around its silhouette, promises to captivate skywatchers with its unique and dramatic display. Known as the “ring of fire,” this phenomenon offers a breathtaking view that differs significantly from a total solar eclipse, where the Sun is completely obscured.

So exactly what is an “annular solar eclipse”?

It is when the moon crosses the face of the sun but does not completely block it out.  When the moon is centered directly in front of the sun, a ring of sunlight is still visible around the moon, and that is why such an event is often called 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 edges. This circle of light is called an annulus, or sometimes a “ring of fire.” Annular solar eclipses happen only when the Moon is at the furthest point from Earth in its orbit, making the Moon appear smaller than usual from the Earth’s perspective.

For those that are able to view this eclipse, it will truly be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

According to USA Today, the Moon will begin to cross the face of the Sun at 15:42 UTC…

• 15:42 UTC: Partial eclipse begins. A partial eclipse occurs when the moon, sun and Earth don’t perfectly align and only the outer shadow of the moon’s shadow is cast on the Earth.
• 16:50 UTC: Annular eclipse begins. An annular eclipse describes the moment the moon passes between the Earth and sun, creating the the illusion of a thin ring of sunlight around the moon.
• 18:45 UTC: Maximum eclipse beings. This happens when the moon completely covers the face of the sun.
• 20:39 UTC: Annular eclipse ends
• 21:47: Partial eclipse ends

15:42 UTC is 6:42 PM in Jerusalem.

On October 2nd, the sun will go down at 6:22 PM in Israel, 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.

Will something unusual also happen during the fall festivals this year?

We will just have to wait and see what happens.

Unlike the “Great American Eclipse of 2024”, the eclipse on October 2nd will not be visible in the continental United States.

According to Forbes, the best place to view it will be on Easter Island…

The place to be for that will be Easter Island, also called Rapa Nui, where eclipse-hunters will hope for clear skies while touring the mysterious stone monolithic human figures called moai that date from the thirteenth century.

USA Today has put together a list of some of the other nations where people will be gathering to watch the sky on October 2nd…

• 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
• Tonga
• Tuvalu
• Uruguay
• Wallis and Futuna

Many people out there are entirely convinced that the solar eclipses of 2024 are just completely random events that have no significance whatsoever.

And I can certainly understand why they would choose to see things that way.

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 seventh month on the Biblical calendar which is considered to be “the Jewish New Year”.

If that is just a coincidence, it is a really, really bizarre one.

Could it be possible that someone is trying to get our attention?

Could it be possible that this year is being “marked” for some reason?

My regular readers already know how I feel, because I have been writing about this stuff for a long time.

In Genesis chapter 1, God specifically stated that one of the reasons why He was creating the sun and the moon was because He planned to use them as “signs”.

We have seen this all throughout history, and now I am convinced that this year on His calendar is being “marked” for a purpose.

So 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.

The Russians just told us again that the world could soon be facing nuclear war if western powers don’t stop escalating the conflict in Ukraine, but this is yet another warning that has gone in one ear and out the other.  The Russians can talk about nuclear war until they are blue in the face, but nothing that they say is going to sink in, because our leaders simply do not care.  They are entirely convinced that the Russians will never use nuclear weapons, and so they are not afraid to keep pushing the Russians closer to a breaking point.  When the Russians finally reach their breaking point, what will they do?

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has been playing this game for decades, and he always chooses his words very carefully.

So when he publicly brings up the possibility of nuclear war, that is a really big deal.  The following comes from an article that was posted on Yahoo News entitled “Russia warns the United States of the risks of World War Three”…

“We are now confirming once again that playing with fire – and they are like small children playing with matches – is a very dangerous thing for grown-up uncles and aunts who are entrusted with nuclear weapons in one or another Western country,” Lavrov told reporters in Moscow.

“Americans unequivocally associate conversations about Third World War as something that, God forbid, if it happens, will affect Europe exclusively,” Lavrov said.

Lavrov added that Russia was “clarifying” its nuclear doctrine.

Obviously the Russians do not want a nuclear war.

But unlike the U.S., the Russians have been feverishly preparing to fight one.  Today, their strategic nuclear arsenal and their anti-missile systems are far superior to our own.

Most Americans don’t realize this.

I have been writing about this for years, but most people in the western world are not interested in such warnings.

And the Russians also very clearly understand that whoever strikes first will have the best chance of surviving a nuclear conflict.

Over and over, the Russians have made it clear that they would very much prefer to avoid using nuclear weapons.

But the Russians have also told us over and over that if they are pushed too far they will use them.

Right now, the Russians are extremely angry.  We saw more evidence of this when they just launched the largest air assault on Ukraine since the war started…

Russia launched a “massive” missile and drone attack aimed at energy infrastructure across Ukraine at the start of the week, marking the biggest air assault since the war began, Ukrainian officials said. Moscow has since followed that with a second wave of strikes early Tuesday morning.

Monday’s onslaught, which killed at least seven people and caused power outages in several cities, marked Russia’s “most massive air attack” in more than two-and-a-half years of conflict, according to Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk.

The reason why the Russians are so angry is due to Ukraine’s surprise invasion of Russia’s lightly populated Kursk region…

Three weeks ago, Ukraine’s military launched a stunning operation to take the war in Ukraine back onto the territory of the country that launched it. Three weeks later, the Ukrainians still occupy hundreds of miles of territory in Russia’s western Kursk region.

The incursion had a number of goals: to force Russia to divert its forces from Ukraine to defend its own towns and cities; to seize territory that might later be used for bargaining leverage in peace negotiations; and to send a political message to the Russian people and their leaders that they are not safe from the consequences of the war launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin nearly two-and-a-half years ago.

Unfortunately for Ukraine, the Russians did not divert assets from eastern Ukraine to defend Kursk.

Instead, the Russians have continued to move forward steadily in eastern Ukraine, and now they are closing in on the key city of Pokrovsk…

And that means Russia’s eastern offensive, which kicked off last fall and widened around the New Year, has continued unimpeded through August. The consequences for Ukraine’s defensive campaign in the east have been dire.

In essence, Russia is trading Kursk for part of eastern Ukraine. Ukraine is trading part of the east for Kursk. Whether either tradeoff is worth it is a political question—and one without an easy answer for either side.

The drumbeat of recent Russian advances east of Pokrovsk, northwest of Donetsk, should sound like an alarm in Kyiv. On Friday, Russian infantry marched into Novohrodivka, seven miles east of Pokrovsk.

Ukraine sent many of their best units (along with significant numbers of western mercenaries) into Kursk, and so much of the front in eastern Ukraine is now defended by new conscripts that are very poorly trained…

As Kiev attempts to bask in triumph over its territorial gains inside of Russia, its forces are losing territory along the Eastern front lines in Ukraine. Ukrainian military commanders say the reason for the losses is poorly trained soldiers; many are even afraid to fire their weapons.

Speaking with the Associated Press, a battalion commander in Ukraine’s 47th Brigade said, “Some people don’t want to shoot. They see the enemy in the firing position in trenches but don’t open fire. … That is why our men are dying. When they don’t use the weapon, they are ineffective.”

The decision to invade the Kursk region is turning out to be a massive strategic blunder.

The Ukrainians have lost vast numbers of men and vehicles in Kursk, but they aren’t going to be able to hold Russian territory for very long.

Meanwhile, the front in eastern Ukraine is at risk of completely collapsing.

However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky continues to insist that the invasion of Kursk is part of his “victory plan” which he will soon unveil to Joe Biden…

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said his troops’ incursion into Russia’s Kursk region is part of a “victory plan” that he will present to US President Joe Biden next month.

Speaking at a forum on Tuesday, President Zelensky said the success of the plan would depend on President Biden and on whether the US would give Ukraine “what is in this plan or not, [and] whether we will be free to use this plan, or not”.

“It may sound too ambitious for some, but it is an important plan for us,” he added, saying that he would also show the plan to both US presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

The only way that the Ukrainians can possibly achieve victory is to get the U.S. and other western powers directly involved in the conflict.

So far, the Ukrainians have not been able to do that.

But if that does happen at some point, that will bring us literally to the brink of nuclear war.

Sadly, most people have no idea what a nuclear conflict would actually look like.

According to author Annie Jacobsen, the initial blast of one nuclear warhead in Washington D.C. would immediately wipe out everything in a 9 mile diameter…

So with a 1-megaton bomb on Washington, DC, what happens in the very first millisecond is that this thermonuclear flash expands into a ball of fire that is one mile of pure fire. It’s 19 football fields of fire.

Then the fireball’s edges compress into what is called a steeply fronted blast wave — as dense wall of air pushing out, mowing down everything in its path three miles out, in every direction, because it is accompanied by several-hundred-mile-an-hour winds.

It’s like Washington, DC, just got hit by an asteroid and the accompanying wave. When you think about this initial 9-mile diameter ring, imagine every single engineered structure — buildings, bridges, etc. — collapsing.

That is what one nuclear warhead would do.

The Russians have thousands of them.

Millions would die during a full-blown nuclear exchange between the United States and Russia, but billions would potentially die during the nuclear winter that follows…

A Nuclear war would plunge our planet into a deep nuclear winter. In the worst-case scenario, a nuclear exchange between the U.S. and Russia (which together possess nearly 90% of the world’s nuclear weapons) could eject up to 165 million tons (150 million metric tons) of soot into Earth’s atmosphere, reducing surface temperatures by 16 degrees Fahrenheit (9 degrees Celsius) and sending global calorie production plummeting by as much as 90%.

We should do whatever it takes to avoid such a scenario.

If leaders on both sides were sane, they would sit down and try to talk things out while it is still possible to do so.

Unfortunately, neither side is interested in talking at this point, and so we continue to steamroll toward the unthinkable.

Most people don’t seem to realize this yet, but we have entered a time of global war.  While millions in the western world are partying, an apocalyptic all-out war is threatening to erupt in the Middle East and Ukraine has launched a surprise invasion of Russia.  Needless to say, seeing Ukrainian troops come pouring across Russia’s lightly defended border in the Kursk region came as quite a shock to Vladimir Putin and his generals.  The Ukrainians have decided to take things to the next level, and the Russians are beyond angry.  Meanwhile, Israel is bracing for a “large scale” Iranian attack at any time…

Israel is expecting a ‘large scale’ Iranian attack and Hezbollah has evacuated its Beirut headquarters in anticipation of an all-out war with Israel, according to reports.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant told US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that Iran was making preparations for a large-scale military attack on Israel during a phone call on Sunday, Axios News reporter Barack Ravid wrote on X.

The planned attack could happen ‘within days’, according to two sources who spoke to CNN. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has evacuated its headquarters in Beirut, according to Lebanese news outlet Al Joumhouria – further raising concerns.

We have been waiting for Iran to strike Israel since the end of July, but so far such an attack has not materialized.

Many were hoping that cooler heads had prevailed in Iran.

Sadly, it appears that an attack is still coming, and Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant is warning that Iran and Hezbollah “are threatening to harm us in a way they haven’t done in the past”.

That sounds rather ominous.

If there is an attack, it will almost certainly be more substantial than what we witnessed last time around.

For the moment, however, the Iranians seem to be enjoying keeping everyone in suspense…

“There may be no attack at all, or there could be one tonight,” an Iranian regime insider told the Financial Times. “Waiting for death is more difficult than death itself.”

“Iran has launched a psychological warfare campaign to keep Israel’s military, security, and logistical capabilities on edge, denying residents of the occupied territories any sense of calm,” the insider added.

Maybe they will keep playing this game for a while.

Or maybe they will attack tonight.

We just don’t know.

There have been reports of missile launchers being moved into position.

But that could just be more of their mind games.

The U.S. is certainly not taking any chances.

According to John Kirby, the U.S. is operating under the assumption that an Iranian attack could come as early as this week…

The U.S. is preparing for Iran or its proxies to attack Israel as soon as this week, according to White House national security spokesman John Kirby.

He confirmed Monday that the U.S. is increasing its military presence in the region and said that President Joe Biden had talked with European allies about support for Israel.

If the Iranians attack, the U.S. will defend Israel.

A guided missile sub is being deployed to the Middle East, and the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group has been ordered to “sail more quickly to the area”…

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a guided missile submarine to the Middle East and told the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group to sail more quickly to the area, as the U.S. said Monday it believes Iran or its proxies could launch a strike against Israel as soon as this week.

The moves, announced by the Defense Department Sunday, come as the U.S. and other allies push for Israel and Hamas to achieve a cease-fire agreement that could help calm soaring tensions in the region after the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut.

I will be watching the USS Abraham Lincoln very closely.

If all-out war erupts, it could become a prime target for either the Iranians or Hezbollah.

Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine has taken an unexpected turn.

The Ukrainians have been slowly but surely losing ground in eastern Ukraine, and so they decided to do something dramatic to change the momentum of the war.

Nobody expected the Ukrainians to invade Russian territory, and so the Russians were completely surprised when that actually happened…

Ukraine’s shock incursion across the Russian border into Kursk Oblast may force important strategic decisions on Moscow as President Vladimir Putin’s troops are taken as prisoners of war and supply lines are threatened. The Ukrainian attack took Russian forces by surprise, according to one U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

According to the Institute for the Study of War, Ukraine’s cross-border gambit has allowed Kyiv to seize the battlefield initiative, long held by Russian forces who were able to dictate the time and place of fighting and force Ukrainian troops to expend manpower and equipment on defensive operations.

On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke of the importance of removing these Ukrainian forces from Russian territory during a televised appearance…

President Vladimir Putin ordered his army on Monday to “dislodge” Ukrainian troops who have entered Russian territory as authorities said more than 120,000 people had been evacuated away from the fighting.

Kyiv launched a surprise offensive into Russia’s western Kursk region last Tuesday, capturing more than two dozen settlements in the most significant cross-border attack on Russian soil since World War II.

“One of the obvious goals of the enemy is to sow discord, strife, intimidate people, destroy the unity and cohesion of Russian society,” Putin told a televised meeting with government officials.

The Ukrainians will not be able to hold Russian territory for long.

So why did they do this?

Personally, my opinion is that the Ukrainians are trying to get the Russians so angry that they will decide to use tactical nuclear weapons.

If Russia uses tactical nuclear weapons, NATO will be forced to intervene, and then we really will have a nightmare scenario on our hands.

This conflict with Russia is one of “the 3 wars of the apocalypse” that I keep warning my readers about.

The coming all-out war in the Middle East is another one.

All of the chess pieces are moving into position, and it won’t be too long before we witness global chaos on a grand scale.

It is getting very difficult to ignore all of the shaking that is going on.  Over the past few months, there have been very unusual earthquakes all over the United States.  As you will see below, there have been noteworthy quakes on the west coast, on the east coast, near our northern border, and near our southern border.  Of course all of this comes at a time when the entire planet is being shaken by unusual seismic activity.  Is all of this unusual seismic activity building up to something?  If so, what does that mean for all of us?

On Tuesday night, a magnitude 5.2 earthquake that shook southern California made headlines all over the nation…

An earthquake northwest of Los Angeles shook a large swath of Southern California on Tuesday night, but there were no immediate reports of damage.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the 5.2 magnitude temblor struck at 9:09 p.m. and was centered near Mettler, an unincorporated area in Kern County about 85 miles (137 kilometers) from downtown Los Angeles.

Following the quake, Dr. Lucy Jones went on television and revealed that her initial assessment was that the quake was not associated with any known fault.

I thought that was quite strange.

Another earthquake expert named Ole Kaven agreed with that assessment, but he did note that this particular area is known for earthquakes…

There isn’t a known fault in the area where the earthquake struck on Tuesday night, but it’s still an area known for earthquakes, said Ole Kaven, U.S. Geological Survey research geophysicist.

The shaking was felt over a very large area.

In fact, it was being reported that this earthquake was felt by those living “in Ventura, Simi Valley, Camarillo, Santa Clarita, Encino, Hollywood, Santa Monica, North Hollywood and Woodland Hills”.

Subsequently, there have been more than 200 aftershocks in that same region…

There have been more than 277 aftershocks to Tuesday’s magnitude 5.2 earthquake in Southern California, two with a magnitude 4.0 or greater – but the likelihood of another, larger shock is still low, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

“Seeing a lot of these smaller events that slow over time is very normal,” said Ole Kaven, a research geophysicist with USGS.

Hopefully things will settle down soon.

But it is just a matter of time before the earthquakes return.

For more than a decade, I have been specifically warning about what will happen to the state of California when “the Big One” finally strikes.

Scientists assure us that “the Big One” is overdue, and the damage that it will cause will be off the charts.

California is known for earthquakes, but we are also seeing significant shaking in areas of the country that are not known for earthquakes.

For example, the state of New Jersey has been shaken by more than 200 earthquakes over the past three months…

It’s not known for being a hotspot for earthquakes.

But New Jersey has been rattled by more than 200 tremors in the past three months.

In the middle of the country, a magnitude 2.9 earthquake was just recorded directly under Lake Michigan…

As an earthquake nut, I thought I had seen it all. An earthquake Friday proves that I still haven’t. The USGS has confirmed there was an earthquake under Lake Michigan Friday which was felt by many in Wisconsin.

The USGS confirms that an earthquake large enough to be felt by dozens in Wisconsin happened at 9:18am and was centered under Lake Michigan.

This bizarre earthquake registered 2.9 on the Richter Scale and was reportedly felt by many near Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.

We will want to keep a very close eye on any seismic activity around the Great Lakes, because it could have very serious implications for the city of Chicago at some point in the future.

Meanwhile, so many earthquakes have been happening in one county in Texas that a state of emergency was formally declared…

So many earthquakes have struck the west Texas county of Scurry in the past week – more than 100 at last count – local officials have declared a state of emergency.

Scurry County Judge Dan Hicks wrote in his Friday declaration of disaster that since the first earthquake, registering magnitude 4.9, was felt the night of July 22, “damage has been found throughout Scurry County in businesses and residences.”

In my previous article entitled “5 Reasons Why You Should Be Prepping Like Crazy Right Now”, I warned that natural disasters would be a major theme during the second half of this year and beyond.

Of course there are a lot of other reasons why so many people are feverishly preparing for “the perfect storm” that is now upon us.

Global events are starting to spin out of control, and there is a tremendous amount of concern about what is coming next.

Earlier today, I came across a CNN article that discussed the fact that many among the elite are now constructing “21st century fortresses” in anticipation of what is ahead…

Few things appear to soothe the existential anxieties of the super-rich like a bunker designed to withstand anything short of total nuclear Armageddon. Yet it’s no longer enough for the security-conscious billionaire to stick an impenetrable safe room in the basement where it might sit empty forever. In today’s uber-prime properties, bunkers have gone seriously upmarket and hi-tech, in some cases growing to the extent that whole homes are becoming 21st century fortresses.

“We’ve seen a lot more of a focus on entertainment,” said Al Corbi, who has been at the forefront of secure luxury for 50 years as the president and founder of SAFE (Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments), based in Virginia, in the US. “If you’re going to be able to survive underground, we want you to be having fun.”

Do you think that those elitists are going too far?

I don’t.

We have entered a time of tremendous political chaos, global war, worldwide food shortages, deadly pestilences and historic natural disasters.

If you are wise, you will be working extremely hard to get prepared for what is coming too.
