The Valley Revisited

Eclipses no. 2

As many of you know, on April 8, 2024 the United States will witness the second of a pair of total solar eclipses, the first of which occurred seven years ago on August 21, 2017. The first eclipse swept downward across America from the northwest to the southeast, and the second will sweep upward from the southwest to the northeast, and together they will mark a big "X" on the country. Naturally, the watch community has been buzzing about it for a number of years now.

I devoted an article to these two eclipses about a year and a half ago entitled "The Valley of the Shadow of Death" (OCT '22) and in that article I examine the prophetic significance of the fact that the path of totality of the first eclipse in 2017 passed over seven towns named Salem, while the path of totality of the second will pass over 12 such towns, one of them being one of the seven Salems that was in the path of the first eclipse. Not only that, but the area where the paths of the two eclipses intersect is the New Madrid Seismic Zone along the Mississippi River near St. Louis, site of the three most powerful earthquakes in American history east of the Rocky Mountains in 1811–12.

 A Blast From the Past: 

OCT '22: The Valley of the Shadow of Death
The eclipses that cross America in 2017 and 2024 pass over a bunch of towns named Salem. Some think it means something, and I agree. But what?!

The Valley of the Shadow of Death

Total solar eclipse

Several months ago I wrote an article concerning the interpretation of the seven years of plenty that preceded the seven years of famine back in the days of Joseph in Egypt (Gen. 41). While it is widely accepted that the seven years of famine foreshadow the Tribulation, the seven good years are seldom addressed. In that article, I discuss why I believe Joseph's seven good years foreshadow the last seven years of the Church Age and end with the Rapture.

I also discuss several items that make me inclined to believe the seven end-time "good years" kicked off in 2017 and will end in 2024—which makes 2024 a worthy candidate for the year of the Rapture in my humble opinion.

 Weekly Commentary: 

4/23/2024 — From the "Cutting Class" Department...

I know this has happened to me before, and I'm sure it's happened to you at least a couple of times since last October 7:

You desperately want to protest the fact that those despicable Israelis are engaging in senseless genocide in Gaza, trying to exterminate those poor, defenseless, freedom-loving Palestinians. And you want to do something in a particular American city that will cause maximum disruption and chaos and that will get the attention of American citizens and influence them to support those poor, oppressed Palestinians and hate their evil Jewish oppressors and demand a ceasefire in their wanton killing of those poor Palestinians and the noble Hamas freedom fighters that sacrifice their lives trying to protect them from those Israeli monsters. But what?! You think and you think, but just can't seem to come up with any good ideas about how to inflict maximum economic damage—not to mention hassle and inconvenience—on the citizenry of the American city in question.

What to do...what to do??

Never fear...the U.N. is here!

Please tell me you know I'm being sarcastic. Then feast your eyes on the following Fox News headline:

The UN has been caught red-handed aiding and abetting
pro-Hamas anarchists in American cities and streets

Yes...the United Nations: arguably the most antisemitic organization on the planet. The United Nations Division for Palestinian Rights has a newsletter, didn't ya know. It's called NGO Action News, and it provides information and updates concerning news pertaining to Palestinian issues (and as it turns out, soo much more). In its April 11 issue, this newsletter contained a link to the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), which has posted a handy item entitled "5 Ways to Take Action for Tax Day." ("Tax day" being a reference to April 15, the day Americans' tax forms are due.)

Interested users were ultimately connected to useful tips such as:

"...identify and blockade major choke points in the economy, focusing on points of production and circulation with the aim of causing the most economic impact...(effectively) blocking the arteries of capitalism and jamming the wheels of production."

Yes, this is one great suggestion on how to protest what is happening in Gaza, as Israel is doing its utmost to defend itself against the Hamas lunatics that are blindly devoted to the death of the Jews and the destruction of Israel. And the great majority of those "poor, oppressed Palestinians" in Gaza have been indoctrinated to loathe Israel and fully support the efforts of the Iranian sock puppet known as Hamas.

In spite of that inconvenient truth, however, there are legions of wealthy, pampered, otherwise intelligent college students at prestigious universities all over the country who are following such links and exclaiming...

"Say, that's a swell idea! Wait till I tell the gang in World History class!"

World History—a class they have apparently been cutting far too frequently.
