YOU HAVE PROBABLY GOTTEN TON OF E-MAILS ABOUT THE ECLIPSE ON THE 21st? HERE IS SOMETHING I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING ABOUT 40 DAYS AFTER THE ECLIPSE. REASON BEING THAT YOU AND I ADDRESSED THE JONAH THING IN CONTEXT OF 40 DAY WARNING PERIOD A FEW YEARS AGO (YOU POSTED IT IN YOU'RE ALERTS). 40 DAYS FROM 21ST IS 9-29/30... (9/29 IS A 9-11 SO THIS IS WHY I POINT OUT THE 29TH DATE....). 'Occurring on August 21 the first of elul, the Great American Eclipse ushers in the biblical month of Elul.
According to Jewish tradition, the first day of Elul marks the beginning of a 40-day period of repentance1 leading up to the Day of Atonement, a.k.a. the 'Day of Judgment.'A related tradition of Elul is that each day of the month a trumpet is sounded to warn the people to turn back to God before judgment falls.
...Elul 1 also marks the beginning of Jonah’s preaching to the Ninevites. The Lord sent Jonah to warn the wicked inhabitants of Nineveh that they had 40 days—the span from Elul 1 to the Day of Atonement—to repent or face God’s wrath (Jonah 3:4). Fortunately, the Ninevites heeded the warning and were spared judgment (3:5-10).--CONTINUED... .....In the case of Jonah, an intriguing link to an actual total solar eclipse is noted. NASA data confirms that a famous eclipse mentioned in ancient cuneiform tablets, the Bur-Sagle Eclipse, occurred in June of 763 BC, just before Jonah began preaching to the Ninevites. The path of this eclipse happened to cross directly over the City of Nineveh. Some speculate that the Ninevites interpreted the eclipse as an omen of God’s impending wrath and that this is why they were so quick to repent when Jonah arrived a couple of months later. MIKHAEL
