Panic! Fear! Eclipse to block out 95 per cent of sunlight

[DEFCON Warning System]

A solar eclipse may bring chaos to Europe as a solar eclipse will block out 95 percent of the sun's light!

It's Armageddon, folks! An event like this happens only...oh, once a day!

The horror!

 

[Upshot]

Hehehehehe.

On an astronomical note, the past few days have seen a really gorgeous early evening moon-venus-mars-uranus conjunct, and even clear skies and warm temps to enjoy it. First time I've had the observatory opened up since the evacuation.

This is why people are saying doom and gloom

Have a nice day

I dont get it lol explain.

I concur.

This eclipse is supposedly part of the blood moon tetrad, said to be a warning to Israel and the world. When 4 consecutive blood moons fall on Jewish feast days, a major event occurs for the Jews and the world. Happened in 1492 - Spanish Inquisition. Happened in 1948 - State of Israel founded. Happened in 1967 - Israel recaptures Jerusalem.

At least this is what they say. Take it as you will.

...wouldn't that suggest that Iran might attack Israel, or vice versa?

No. It simply says that something big is going to happen. Usually, signs are of impending judgement. However, the 1948 one coincided with the re-establishment of Israel, though there was that pesky war that came about immediately after.

Whether it is going to be Iran or another enemy, it is supposed to portend something big.

something big.

I fail to see why my theory doesn't work then. Wouldn't an attack be "a big thing?" Or is it rather miniscule considering the affairs in the middle east?

 

[Upshot]

Ah, Judeo-Christian prophesy. Works very well with hindsight,but never with foresight, which really defeats the purpose of prophesy.

Whoa! deja Vu, man!

Damn! I'm caught in a causality loop.

I didn't mean to imply that an attack by Iran wouldn't fit. I meant that such was not the only possible thing that could happen.

Not never. Some prophecies are very specific, while others are more general and difficult to pin down.

And a lot of prophecies are told in such a manner that the specifics are difficult to figure out but the end result is crystal clear.

For example:

Dear Israel,

Your continued sin has gotten Me really angry.

Because of that, <poetic prophecy>, <poetic prophecy>, <poetic prophecy>, you're screwed!

Now, does it really truly matter what the middle is about when we can clearly read cause and effect?

 

[Upshot]

Whew! It wasn't a causality loop. My return key was just glued down with a bit of grampa crowley's strawberry-seraphim jelly.

That was a joke. An eclipse is an eclipse, a conjunction is only a conjunction viewed from here, and I have lost count of the number of times the prophesied end of the world has come. And gone. I only believe in the capriciousness of humans.

Magic eight ball,too...

This is actually funny and informative :lol:

No kidding. It's rather interesting how coincidence coupled with an astronomical event can cause people to do this.
