Does this date have significance? Do solar eclipses have significance in the Bible? When is the next solar eclipse over America?
8/20/17 – On August 13th, Pastor Mark Biltz spoke at Church of His Presence on the Great American Solar Eclipse that will cover only the US and put it in context with world and biblical history, G_d’s calendar, the September 23rd sign, and future solar events. I highly recommend this outstanding presentation, full of facts, history, and scripture. We need to understand what scripture meant in Luke 21 when Yeshua Jesus said, “When you see these things, look up…”.

Wasn’t that a great presentation?
Yes, solar eclipses, biblically speaking, can signify judgement, and in Jewish thought they signify judgement to the gentile nations, while lunar eclipses signify judgement to Israel. But, in G_d’s language judgement, which is discipline, is always done with a desire to bring repentance, to bring those He loves like the Prodigal Son back into relationship with him.
We all need to be in prayer at this time and there is power when we agree on something in prayer together.
For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.
-Matthew 18:20
Will you join me in prayer? We can pray and seek G_d together. First, lets repent. We can repent together for everything we’ve ever done that was not only sin but anything that even displeased Yeshua. And even further, lets ask Him to forgive us for anything that broke his heart. After we repent, we can then powerfully intercede for our nation, pray for repentance worldwide, pray for mercy, for bondage created through iniquity to be broken. There is great power in prayer!
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
-James 5:16
Let me encourage you. Do not be afraid! G_d is with us!
‘Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
-Isaiah 41:10
Rebuke any spirit of fear! Do not let it rest upon you and take root in your heart. That is not from the L_rd!
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
-2 Timothy 1:7
We are not given a spirit of fear but we are told repeatedly, like a sounding beat on a drum, to be alert, be watchful, know the signs, and to be aware of the season as it relates to Yeshua’s return. We are told in 2 Timothy 4:2 to be ready in season and out of season, and that principle applies to many areas of life.
When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
-Luke 21:28
He loves us so much, he gave us all the warnings ahead of time so we wouldn’t be caught off guard.
Are you being caught off guard? Could it be an indication that things have been out of order in your life recently? Maybe you have really strayed away from the relationship you once had with Yeshua. Maybe you haven’t put your trust in him and instead put your trust in things, money, or people. Maybe you’ve never truly given your life to Yeshua.
Under the shadow of Yeshua’s safe arms we have no reason to fear! Maybe it is time for you to rededicate your life to him. Maybe it’s time for you to make Yeshua the L_rd of your life! Give him everything! Remove the Lord of Darkness from the throne on your heart and invite Yeshua to reign there forever!
To believers everywhere, repent, pray for others to be saved, and be encouraged! Lift your head up! He’s coming soon!
If you have not given your life to Yeshua Jesus, would you do it now? Please visit the Who Is Yeshua Jesus? page to learn more about who He is and how much He loves you. He will give us all HIS peace, HIS shalom.
