This is because the first eclipse came 1,260 days before the coming appearance of a sign that looks to be the fulfillment of Revelation 12. It was concluded that this sign on September 23, 2017 was the possible mid-<wbr \/>point of the Tribulation with the Tribulation running from April 2014 to April of 2021. This theory did not seem right since the midpoint of the seven year Tribulation should be the opposite season to allow for a fall festival conclusion of the 70th Week to fulfill the Feasts of the Lord. Further, it can be discounted now since we are not in the Tribulation and the eclipse has passed. However, the heavenly sign itself on September 23, 2017 does look to be the sign of Revelation 12. It is, therefore, time to address this sign as to how it fits the coming time of the end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">Now a great sign appeared in heaven:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><em>a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet,\u00a0and on her head a garland of twelve stars.\u00a0Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. \u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"Normal-C13\">R<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C14\">EVELATION<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C13\"> 12:1-<wbr \/>2<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Normal-P\"><span class=\"Normal-C\">Revelation 12 comes right after the conclusion of the seventh trumpet and what is the end of the seven year tribulation. With chapter 12, we cut away from that time to a picture of the overall war of Satan upon Israel and the Messiah. The woman is Israel and the twelve stars are the twelve tribes of Israel. Paralleling Joseph\u2019s dream, the moon and sun also represented his mother and father (Genesis 37:10), and as we later learn in Revelation 12, the child is the Messiah. This sign plays out in the heavens on September 23, 2017 when the sun goes down in Israel. That day is Tishri 3 and the Fast of Gedaliah.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"txt_306_C02\">\n<div class=\"Normal-P\"><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">While the sign of Revelation 12 pictures Israel and the Messiah, it is still a great sign <\/span><span class=\"Normal-C16\">in heaven<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">. It should be treated as a sign of major significance. The problem is that some have viewed this sign as relating to the middle of the Tribulation. The reason that is done is because of its context with the dragon (Satan) who is thrown down from heaven to persecute Israel for 1,260 days (3.5 years) until the conclusion of the 70th Week. However, this sign is broader in scope since it also refers to the birth of Jesus over 2,000 years ago. Some have even tried to say this sign played out at the time of Christ\u2019s birth, but the planetary alignments put forward of that time do not compare to what occurs in 2017.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">For those who have been following this work here, there was an important discovery made here eight years ago regarding the <a href=\"http:\/\/watchfortheday.org\/signsoftheend\/giza2024.html\">Great Pyramid<\/a> and its heavenly alignment just three days earlier on September 20, 2017. It almost seems comical now that the great sign of Revelation 12 was missed at that time while focusing in on three days earlier. However, that find, along with this sign of Revelation 12, frame what seems now to become one of the most significant days in future history. That day is known as the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Teruah (the awakening blast), the Day of Shouting, the Day of the Resurrection, Coronation Day, and the Last Trump. It is believed this day is the day of the transformation of the dead and living saints at the time known as the Rapture. \u00a0The Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah is in the middle of these signs.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">The sign of Revelation 12 has many details that are common, but uncommon when all put together. The first part of the sign is the woman clothed with the sun. This happens every year, but it narrows the time down to one month around the autumnal equinox. That woman is represented by Virgo-<wbr \/>&#8211;<wbr \/>the virgin. She is clothed by the sun from mid-<wbr \/>September to early October. September 23, 2017 meets these requirements.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">The next requirement is that the moon must be under the feet of Virgo. With the sun in Virgo and her feet to the east, the moon must be a few days past new moon. Since the Hebrew Calendar is lunar and the Feast of Trumpets (September 21, 2017) is on the new moon, September 23-<wbr \/>25 places the moon in the correct position. This happens every year on the Hebrew Calendar as long as the new moon did not occur too early or too late in relation to the equinox, which would put the sun too high or low in Virgo. Here it is perfect. The requirement of the moon and sun narrows it down to a few days of the year. The rest of the parts of the sign must then coincide with this time if we are able to observe this sign.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">On September 23, 2017 there are four planets in the vicinity that complete the sign and its ultimate uniqueness. Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter play their parts. Above the head of Virgo is the constellation Leo. In Leo at this time there will be Mars, Venus, and Mercury. With Leo being a constellation of nine principle stars, the three wandering stars make it twelve at this time. Thus the garland of twelve stars is upon the woman. For three planets to be in Leo at this time with all of the other preconditions makes this rare. Combined with the final piece of the picture below is what makes this sign difficult of not nearly impossible to replicate anywhere close to the time in which we live. How rare? A search 150 years before and 150 years after September 23, 2017 produced no results.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">The final piece of the sign is Jupiter. Jupiter was known by the Jews as the planet of the Messiah. Jupiter enters the sign of Virgo on August 27, 2016, which coincides with a close conjunction of Venus. The next such close conjunction with these two brightest planets is 49 years later. Jupiter itself enters Virgo about every 12 years. \u00a0The August 27, 2016 conjunction comes <\/span><span class=\"Normal-C16\">exactly<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"> 400 days before Yom Kippur 2017. Yom Kippur always ends Teshuvah, which is a <\/span><span class=\"Normal-C16\">40<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"> day season of repentance. Does Jupiter and Venus mark a ten-<wbr \/>fold application needed at that time?<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">Jupiter then spends those 400 days in Virgo. As the sign of Revelation 12 forms on September 23, 2017, Jupiter is in the womb of Virgo and is about to be born. Remember, the meaning of Tribulation refers to the period of labor pains before birth. The world is going to go through a period of delivery to result in the Messianic Kingdom. This sign speaks to those coming seven years\u2013the worst in human history. However, we have been warned and God will deliver those who have put their trust in Christ by taking them to heaven before the seven years begins. For those who will miss that opportunity, God\u2019s grace will still abound for those who change and believe that Jesus Christ is the savior of the world, but they will have to endure the Tribulation.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">Jupiter, though spends more than 400 days in Virgo. It is provocative that six days before what looks to be the start of the 2520 days of the Tribulation, Venus and Jupiter make another conjunction (but not visible because of the sun) on November 13, 2017. This is 444 days from the conjunction of August 27, 2016. Is it any accident then that Jupiter leaves Virgo when the Tribulation will begin? The next sign in the Mazzeroth (Zodiac) is the scales of Libra\u2013judgment. It all lines up at the right time.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"txt_308\">\n<div style=\"width: 162px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/watchfortheday.org\/wpimages\/wpc6c646a0.png\" width=\"152\" height=\"223\" align=\"bottom\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"6\" vspace=\"6\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">April 15, 2014 &#8212; Spica<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<span class=\"Normal-C\">However, let us go back 1260 days from the sign of Revelation 12 to the day of the first lunar eclipse of the Tetrad of 2014-<wbr \/>2015. The eclipse of April 15, 2014 occurred at a specific place in the heavens. As a time marker that points to the sign of Revelation 12, it should also have some significance. This eclipse on Passover 2014 occurred right next to star of Spica in Virgo. Jesus\u2019 own body was sacrificed for us on Passover. He was the Seed of the Woman. He was the ear of grain that must die that life may abound. Spica in Hebrew is <\/span><span class=\"Normal-C11\">Zerah<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"> meaning \u201cseed\u201d\u2013the Seed of the Woman. It is the same word as found in the promises of Genesis. It is fitting then that this sign of the lunar eclipse points to the sign of Revelation 12, which speaks of the Messiah\u2019s birth, but also to the necessary second part of Jesus\u2019 coming back to earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">With an interval of 1260 days between the signs, it would seem logical that the day count represented a leg of the Tribulation. But it cannot anymore unless one is to believe we are in the Tribulation, but we are NOT. However, this sign straight from Revelation 12 that appears in the sky from September 23 to September 25 cannot be ignored. Placing this sign in context with all of the other signs and calculations presented here, it would seem that this sign is a warning of the Tribulation that will soon begin.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">The conclusion on this website is that it looks like the Rapture will occur on the Feast of Trumpets 2017, which would be on September 21. \u00a0This day is sandwiched between the sign involving the Great Pyramid and Revelation 12. If the Tribulation ends on the Day of Atonement 2024, then 2,520 back from that day is November 19, 2017. \u00a0The sign of Revelation 12 then comes 57 days before the Tribulation. This gap matches the gap between the end of Daniel\u2019s 69 weeks on Palm Sunday and the beginning of the Church on Pentecost.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">The sign of Revelation 12 makes sense as a sign warning to us all that the Tribulation is coming, just as depicted in the sign itself with the virgin (Israel) about to go through tribulation. For the Church, our time is then short. The requirements of the sign make it extremely rare making 2017 the only year in which it coincides with the final generation. By default, it must be a sign that precedes the Tribulation and signs should be a warning of what is soon coming. But all too often, the <\/span><span class=\"Normal-C16\">heavenly<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"> sign of Revelation 12 is glossed over and not looked at as a actual visible sign that can be observed. \u00a0It happens in just over three years. It\u2019s time to get ready&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"txt_309\">\n<p class=\"Normal-P\"><span class=\"Normal-C\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/watchfortheday.org\/wpimages\/wp18f45642.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" align=\"bottom\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"6\" vspace=\"6\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"txt_310_C03\">\n<div class=\"Normal-P\"><span class=\"Normal-C\">While perusing through Jupiter\u2019s position among the stars, there was something else that presented itself. On the 9th of Av 2024, Jupiter will be in the sign of Taurus. It will be between the horns. The common Hebrew name for Taurus is<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C11\">Shur, <\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">which can mean both coming and ruling or in other words, the coming judge. In short, Taurus represents the coming governor, Jesus Christ, with his congregation (meaning of Pleiades).<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">On the day known for Jewish sorrow due to the number of calamities that have fallen on this day, Mars comes into conjunction with Jupiter beteween the horns. Mars, in Hebrew <\/span><span class=\"Normal-C11\">Ma\u2019adim<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">, meaning <\/span><span class=\"Normal-C11\">the Adam, the Red One<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"> or <\/span><span class=\"Normal-C11\">the Son of Man. <\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">On this day it is believed there will be 60 days left of the Tribulation. This sign looks to speak of that time when Jesus will shortly return to end the Tribulation with the Church accompanying him.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\">No other signs or conjunctions after this at this time come into view. However, there will be the final signs of the stars falling from the sky, and the moon and sun being darkened. \u00a0It must also be remembered here that on the 9th of Av 1994, Comet Shoemaker-Levy struck Jupiter causing much fear when the effects of such a collision were observed and then imagined upon earth. The 9th of Av 2024 will be the 110th anniversary from WW1 beginning and 30 years from Shoemaker-Levy.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"Normal-C\"><br \/>\n<\/span><em><span class=\"Normal-C11\">Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"Normal-P1\"><em><span class=\"Normal-C11\">Matthew 24: 29-30<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Normal-P1\">___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/watchfortheday.org\/1260tetrad.html\">http:\/\/watchfortheday.org\/1260tetrad.html<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Great Sign of Revelation 12 Occurs in 2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":20,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17048"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17048\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cosmicconvergence.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
