1. Eclipse Sunday and Moonday

2. Matthew 4:24 Epileptic
Verse routeMatthew 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. [kjv]
Verse routeκαι απηλθεν η ακοη αυτου εις ολην την συριαν και προσηνεγκαν αυτω παντας τους κακως εχοντας ποικιλαις νοσοις και βασανοις συνεχομενους δαιμονιζομενους και σεληνιαζομενους και παραλυτικους και εθεραπευσεν αυτους [gnt]

The English word "lunatic" comes, through Latin, from the ancient Greek word "σεληνῐᾰκός ""of the moon" and is often taken as "epileptic".
 
The word "comet" comes from the Greek for "hairy star". How does the moon cut his hair?

3. Eclipse Sunday and Moonday
Eclipse typesEclipses have happened from time to time throughout history. The English word "eclipse" is, through Latin, from the ancient Greek word "ἔκλειψις""disappearance, abandonment, eclipse" and is from "ἐκλείπὼ""leave out, pass over".
The year 2024 will feature a "total solar eclipse" through the United States an Moonday, April 8, 2024.

The sun is 400 times bigger than the moon but 400 times farther away. The last total eclipse in North America was in August 1917. The next on is on August 23, 2044.

10. Biblical hype
Aleph over America
Various versions of aleph
As often happens, there is a lot of hype about an eclipse. In some cases, various eclipse paths are used to, say, create the ancient Hebrew Aleph letter.

Title: 3 Eclipses That Will Combine To Create A Giant 'Aleph' Over America

To pick out selective data to show a point is called the "selective evidence fallacy". This is a specific instance of the "framing fallacy". Pastors do this when they "cherry pick" verses out of context to support their claims.

11. Unique prophecies
Using the three eclipses that combine to create a giant aleph claim, let is look at a general rule for evaluating such claims. Requirement 1 is easier than requirement 2. This happened with the equal distance letter codes from the about 2000. One can easily show that these codes exist and provide meanings for each. However, in Hebrew especially, one can find such codes almost any place one looks. Thus, they are not unique enough to support the claims made. When this was pointed out, the proponents then argued that it is the statistical clustering, but such a claim is hard to verify and hard to explain, etc.

Today, many people do not or cannot distinguish the difference between these equal letter distance codes and actual authentication codes in the form of fulfilled prophecies. They lump all of them together as not useful.

12. God's law and human law

Start with God's law and add human law as rays.

God will not share his "opinion" or "glory" with human "opinion" or "glory".

Beware of those who would have a total eclipse of God's true light by man's (as a wolf-dog) false teaching (darkness).
Both are the same ancient Greek word "δόξα""opinion, expectation" as in "doxology". It is not difficult for human law, opinion, glory, etc., to "eclipse" God's law, opinion, glory.

Some religious establishments today remove parts of the 10 commandments, etc., with their own opinion, glory, righteousness. Love neighbor takes precedence over God laws. Some churches do this to "fill the pews".

64. Weapons such that no flesh is saved
In the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24, when asked about the "end times" Jesus talks of "all of it" (pun on "Olivet").

Verse routeMatthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [kjv]
Verse route24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. [kjv]
Verse routeκαι ει μη εκολοβωθησαν αι ημεραι εκειναι ουκ αν εσωθη πασα σαρξ δια δε τους εκλεκτους κολοβωθησονται αι ημεραι εκειναι [gnt]
Verse routebreviatibreviabuntur … [v]

How could it be possible that no flesh would be saved?

For 2000 years, since the time of Jesus, no one could understand how "no flesh would be saved". Until 1945.

65. Ezekiel 38:2 Gog
Gog appears in an interesting end times prophecy in Ezekiel that appears to talk about the use of nuclear weapons. Ezekiel 38 is about the attack and defeat while Ezekiel 39 is about the required cleanup after the battle.

Verse routeEzekiel 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, [kjv]
Verse routeυιε ανθρωπου στηρισον το προσωπον σου επι γωγ και την γην του μαγωγ αρχοντα ρως μοσοχ και θοβελ και προφητευσον επ αυτον [lxx]
Verse routeSon of man, set your face against Gog, and the land of Magog, Rhos, prince of Mesoch and Thobel, and prophesy against him, [bs3]

Did the LXX (Septuagint) add the name of the "chief prince" as "ρως""Rhos", the traditional name of Russia? Or might it have been removed from the HOT (Hebrew Old Testament)? Another prominent attacker is in the land of Persia or, today, Iran.

Eclipse typesThis description that fits an eclipse is part of the "Olivet Discourse" in Matthew 24:1-51 and 25:1-46 (101 verses), Mark 13:1-37 and Luke 21:4-36. It is one of the larger discourses spoken by Jesus and, at the disciple's request, deals with the "End Times" or, as a play on words, "All of it".

By contrast, the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, 6, 7 spans 111 verses.

The exact Greek word used by Jesus for "fall" is used by him in only one other place in Matthew, the verse of the "blind leading the blind falling into a ditch"

The term Armageddon is known in modern times as a reference to the end of the world. Armageddon is in the Jezreel Valley and is near Nazareth.

Is "Armageddon" a "battle" as in one part of a "war" or is "Armageddon" a "war" consisting of a series of battles? Most "wars" consist of many "battles". Or does it not matter?
