In 2017 God sent two great signs in the heavens that are directly connected to the United States. They were The Great American Eclipse and the fulfilling of the Revelation 12 Sign of Virgo. The Great American Eclipse was a solar eclipse that lasted several  hours and traveled across our country from the Northwest to the Southeast. It began over Salem Oregan and traveled across 10 states and 5 more Salem’s and exited Salem, South Carolina, which makes 7 Salem’s. Because the Jews use the Moon for their calendar and Gentiles use the Sun for their calendar, Solar Eclipses speak directly to Gentile nations. Another such event happened in our history, in 1776-78 just before the Revolutionary war with England broke out. God, who is in control of these heavenly events, is speaking to the U.S. and He is saying “Wake Up! Your country is about to be divided!” Barak Obama began the process and Jo Biden is completing it by giving to Israel’s enemy Iran the right to have nuclear weapons, not to mention billions of dollars to aid their terrorism efforts. Obama began the process, Trump interrupted it for a time, but now Biden is once again opening the negotiations! Jo Biden is once again calling for the dividing of Israel, giving away land to the Palestinians, which thing God is against! He is traveling to Israel to talk about a two-state solution. He hasn’t learned what the Word of God says about reaping – you shall reap what you sow! There is much more that could be said about the eclipse, such as that it crosses 10 states (the number of government) or that it crosses 7 Salem’s in its path (remember Melchizedek, the king of Salem and the Scripture that declares Jesus a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek?). God is saying, “while men (mostly Democrats) are trusting in man (Biden) to lead the country”, God is in charge of the government and the King of Salem (Jesus) is about to come and take up the rulership!

It is also interesting where this eclipse occurred in the universe. As you know during the eclipse the Sun is blocked so the stars around it completely visible. During this eclipse the constellation of Leo could be seen and the eclipse occurred right next to Regulas and between the feet of Leo! So, God is wondering who will welcome Him as King?

This eclipse occurred August 21, 2017, and just 33 days later on September 23, 2017 the constellation Virgo was fulfilled. She is giving birth to a ‘man-child’ who is caught up to the Throne of God. Jesus was 33 years old when He died on the Cross and was resurrected 3 days later. Revelation 12 gives us the meaning to this sign –

“Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. . . . She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.” – Rev. 12:1-5

As Jesus was caught up to the Throne of God when He was 33 years old so 33 days after the Great American Eclipse, in reverse sequence, He is coming back to earth to re-establish His government and He is going to begin in the United States. Now when Jesus left the earth before, how did He exert His presence? He sent the Holy Spirit on Pentecost (the Former Rain) so, how will He exert His presence now? He is going to send the Latter Rain of the Holy Spirit! And there will be many John the Baptist figures to prepare the way for Him. This outpouring has already started, around the world and in the United States.

Just as the devil was on hand to oppose Jesus in His first coming so, he is opposing this move of God as well. Only this time, because the devil knows his time is short, his opposition is going to be much more intense and radical. He will use the government, the education system, the financial system, the food chain, and he will make certain there are many Balams to lead people astray with sexual immorality.

We are facing a world-wide food crisis and China, a superpower, is also facing a water and food shortage which will affect their policies toward us and the world.

Jo Biden is trying to replace our dollar based currency with a digital dollar which will make us subject to the government’s every whim and he is pushing to give the UN new sweeping powers over our health system and even a social credit system such as China has.

Now these times are serious, and the Church must face these issues head on. We need to understand that it is not ‘politics’ to face evil for what it is from the pulpits, and the Bible is full of men who faced the evils of their day and relied of God for answers. What the Church needs most now is truth. Truth about sin, about lukewarmness, and about compromising with the world! The message of the Gospel is not just about the forgiveness of sins but, it is also about coming out of that sin and living a sanctified life! The Church should look different than the world. Church members need to know that they cannot claim the badge of Christian and vote for those who promote wickedness! And that includes those who promote abortion, transgenderism, homosexuality, and divorce – all things God calls abominations.

I say these times are serious because if we, the Church, don’t begin influencing our society and our government with Christian principles, we may not have a Lampstand anymore. When Jesus wrote to the Church at Ephesus, He said –

“Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.” – Rev. 2:5

Jesus is soon coming back and His expectations for His Church are high! Many will not meet His standards. The fear of the Lord is upon me that I may not meet His standards as well so, I take this message seriously as well.
