I have tried to understand what's going on with my irradic pageviewer numbers, as reported by my blog server, but I admit I am becoming confused, to the point of exasperation! It used to be that my daily pageviewer numbers would spike from single digits, to triple digits, as recorded from Russia, whenever I would write something about God's prophecies that mention Russia, or rather the ancient tribes that settled in the area of present-day Moscow (the "Gog/Magog"' prophecies of Ezekiel: 38, and 39). But after writing about that several times, I noticed that that seems to have stopped lately. Recently, I have noticed some inexplicable "spikes" in my pageviewer numbers, one from France (about 109, one day, about a month ago), and yesterday, one from the United Arab Emirates, (of over 100, as well). I wrote nothing about either of these two countries, previous to the "spikes", and can't guess as to why the sudden interest in my blog. (Unless Russian officials are traveling to other countries to hide their continued interest in what I write about them; but the "spikes" don't match any posts about Russia, either.) I simply have no clue as to what's going on, and it's completely mystifying to me!
But the main purpose for my post today, is given with the caution that it should be taken "with a grain of salt", as I may be about to violate a principle that Jesus cautioned us about, twice (first, in Matthew 24; and again in Acts 1), about knowing the date of His return. While I am not going to predict that, I may have figured out a clue revealing the date of the holocaust that seems to be prophecied to follow the end of the "Gog/Magog" invasion. I tremble at declaring this as fact because Jesus' warnings would seem to preclude this also, considering that I have previously written that there is scriptural evidence to suggest that the seven year period that Israel will be burning the weapons from the invasion, may coincide with the seven-year tribulation period, that immediately precedes Jesus' return. However, I throw this out for general consideration, cautioning that there is probably something I have not considered that will make the dates I mention to be inacurate, as I am just as prone to be mistaken as any other person who tries to fix dates of prophecies.
The prophecies of Revelation 6 (the last few verses), and Joel 2:20 (I am not sure of this verse, but it is close to that, anyway), both mention a day when, "the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light." I reasoned that this might refer to a solar eclipse which would be visible in Israel, since these prophecies were given to men who resided in Israel, or near there, at the time. It does not say the moon will be darkened; I wonder if that means that it will give light from another source, perhaps a flash bright enough to temporarily blot out the sun's light. A nuclear blast might turn the moon red, briefly, if the moon happened to pass between the sun, and those viewing it on earth, particularly in Israel.
The next solar eclipse, visible in Israel is scheduled for this coming July 27th! After that there is not supposed to be another one, until 2020. Am I saying that either of these dates will coincide with the prophecies? No, I am not! But it does give one pause to reflect, doesn't it!!! Please do not sell your homes, and move to any mountain top, to await Jesus' return in a giant flying saucer to rapture His believers!!! I am not predicting anything, merely mentioning some interesting points that may, and just as likely may not be relevant to this discussion. The only thing I am predicting with certainty is that we all should, "look up, for (our) redemption draweth nigh"!!!
