What’s likely to become the biggest travel event during 2024 in America? Some might think it would be the Super Bowl or another sporting event, such as the Indianapolis 500. However, according to the Washington Post, it will be the solar eclipse that will cross the U.S. on April 8, 2024.
This eclipse sparks added interest among prophecy watchers because of its relationship to another darkening of the sun that occurred on August 21, 2017. The two eclipses, seven years apart, will form an X on America intersecting at Little Egypt, a small town in southern Illinois.
Is this just a coincidence, or is it the Lord’s way of alerting America that judgment is on the way?
The Coincidence
The pattern of two solar eclipses forming an X over the U.S. also happened in the early 1800s. Remarkably, the intersection of this century’s solar eclipses will be about one hundred miles from where those of the nineteenth century crossed paths.
The first solar eclipse occurred on June 16, 1806, with the second completing the X on September 17, 1811. The intersection happened over the New Madrid fault area, which includes an area from Cairo in southern Illinois to nearby New Madrid, MO.
On December 16, 1811, just three months after the second solar eclipse, a series of devastating earthquakes struck along the New Madrid fault line. The following quote comes from the New Madrid, MO, website:
The New Madrid earthquakes were the biggest earthquakes in American history. They occurred in the central Mississippi Valley but were felt as far away as New York City, Boston, Montreal, and Washington D.C. President James Madison and his wife Dolly felt them in the White House. Church bells rang in Boston. From December 16, 1811, through March of 1812, there were over 2,000 earthquakes in the central Midwest and between 6,000-10,000 earthquakes in the Bootheel of Missouri, where New Madrid is located near the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
In the known history of the world, no other earthquakes have lasted so long or produced so much evidence of damage as the New Madrid earthquakes. Three of the earthquakes are on the list of America’s top earthquakes: the first one on December 16, 1811, a magnitude of 8.1 on the Richter scale; the second on January 23, 1812, at 7.8; and the third on February 7, 1812, at as much as 8.8 magnitude.
Could the upcoming completion of an X across the U.S. midsection by the April 8, 2024, eclipse point to another catastrophe in the months afterward?
Is this just an uncanny coincidence or something more ominous?
Final Warning?
I believe this year’s solar eclipse, which will complete an X over the U.S., signifies the nearness of God’s judgment. I say this for a couple of reasons.
First, we live during a time of unprecedented moral decay in the U.S. that has corrupted the majority of politicians in our government. Despite the reversal of Roe versus Wade, the shedding of innocent blood continues and now exceeds a total of sixty-two million babies murdered in the womb since 1973. Both sex trafficking and pedophilia continue unabated in the U.S., with the Biden administration unashamedly promoting the LGBTQ+ agenda both in America and all across the world.
The U.S. President is putting extreme pressure on Israel to give up its pursuit of the Hamas terrorists and agree to a two-state solution, which he says is the only path to peace. The Bible, however, tells us that the Lord will deal harshly with any nation that pursues such a policy that results in the dividing of His Land.
Second, we live in the shadow of the seven-year Tribulation when the entire earth will experience the fury of God’s wrath. Those who know and believe the words of biblical prophecy recognize the myriad of signs telling us that this time is ever so near. It’s certain that the Lord will bring much destruction to America during this time, but does the upcoming solar eclipse signify the nearness of this time? Is it God’s final warning to America? Only time will tell.
We know that the Lord’s wrath will fall on the U.S.; we just don’t know when. It could be this week, next month, this year, or later. We do know that at any moment, Jesus will come for His own, and sudden destruction will fall upon the unsuspecting world (1 Thessalonians 5:1-10).
If you have not yet put your trust in Jesus, please, please read my post, Jesus Is the Only Path to Eternal Life. In it, I explain how you can know that Jesus has forgiven all your sins and that you possess eternal life and with the sure hope of receiving an immortal and incorruptible body at Jesus’ appearing (1 Corinthians 15:48-54).
Please don’t delay; call upon Jesus while you may! Tomorrow may be too late to avoid the death and destruction that will sweep over the world.
The April 8, 2024, solar eclipse may not be the Lord’s final warning for an unsuspecting nation and world, but then again, it might be.
Hair splitting. Not a dime’s worth of difference between an annular eclipse and a total eclipse. The swath of darkness is smaller with an annular eclipse.
And especially when trying to shoehorn Biblical propheseys into the equation.
I’ve seen both. There is a lot of difference between total and not total. In any case, the OP specifies that he is referring to the total eclipses of 2017 and 2024.
I do church and bible study weekly.
I rather tire of the “end of times” BS.
You can’t or force scare people into religion, only
scare them away from it. Something
Moslems and atheists need to learn.
Faith like love is intangible, it is
either there or it isn’t.
Nobody gets out of here alive.
God bless all.
Deuteronomy 18:10
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch
You claim you’re a “christian” and call the End Times “BS”.
A far cry from what Titus 2:13 states.
What’s the point of being a Christian if you don’t want to be with Christ?
Maybe you should just quit?
There are hardly coincidences when it comes to The Lord’s intentions.
On the issue of abortion alone, He should “X” us straight out.
We’ll see!
thanks goodness you fixed that for them...my family is from Cave-in-Rock Illinois....
There is a difference between suicide and living the life God granted you.
That is a problem I’ve always had with end of days guys,
they want to die when it it really isn’t their time yet.
All things happen in God’s time not ours.
So I’ll stick around till my time is up.
I’ve passed through the region, but most of what I know about that area is from reading “Lo, the Former Egyptian”, by H. Allen Smith. You might enjoy it.
If there is a Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow, then what is to be found under the “Eclipse X” on April 8th, 2024? Head for the area of “Olive Branch, IL” on 4-8-2024 to find out!

Beyond that the present day religious "end of earthers", the man made climate change cultists, Millerites, Muggletonians, Hale Bop, and Jonestown cultists seem to have a lot in common.
Or the earth is going to end in April.
“Is this just a coincidence, or is it the Lord’s way of alerting America that judgment is on the way?”
Perhaps a “final judgment”... since America has been under judgment for some time now already. Evil has increased here exponentially over the past decade. And it’s not just in America.
How about that red carpet entry at Eagle Pass?
Carbondale IL even updated its city logo for a snazzy 'X marks the spot' look.
Carbondale... remember that same place name in PA? That was the story of Horace Short's library book finding its way back home after 120 years.
(It had to do with a hidden cipher code leading to an island that was the form of a man's face, looking up.)
What's in a name?
Horace Short = "Time" is Short.
(from Latin “hora” = hour/time)
That all said, "X" is a lot of things. People get the X they Xpect.
Examples,
signature, sign, mark, tav
short for ex-, "out of"
x-axis (cosine)
Greek Xi "Ξ" 🤔 transliterates to "X" and equals 60
X: Roman Numeral for 10
Greek Chi (Χ,χ = 600), where Ingenuity is resting up
"Xray"
Jesus will come for His own, and sudden destruction will fall upon the unsuspecting world
Right "out of" the blue.
God set the sun, moon, stars, and other heavenly bodies for “signs”.
We see this at creation:
Genesis 1:14 NKJV
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years.”
We see this at His appointed feast days:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2023&version=NKJV
We see this at Christ’s birth:
Matthew 2:9-10 NKJV
When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
We see this at Christ’s death:
Luke 23:45-47 NKJV
Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” Having said this, He breathed His last. So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous Man!”
We see this at Christ’s future second coming:
Matthew 24:29-30 NKJV
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Jesus specifically gave this sign to us as an indication of His imminent return. It’s quite ridiculous to compare this to the biblically forbidden practice of astrology. Biblical signs point us to God. Astrology and similar practices are the opposite. Participants seek to gain control of the future rather than acknowledging that God is in control. Historically, such practices also attributed control to idols. The Pantheon of gods in many cultures was associated with the planets. Christians recognize that Jesus is the Lord of Hosts.
There is a city called Cairo though. I went to the University in Carbondale for two years. School paper was called the Egyptian.
That's one small step for [a] man...
Funny stuff: a man/male is represented by Mars, ♂. Easy to remember the ALT code because it's the same as the mission: 11
