As we approach April 8th, 2024 numerous MSM articles have come out warning populations of school closures, activation of emergency services, possible communication challenges, and to stockpile food, water, and gasoline. This is an unusual response for a solar eclipse.
This substack examines solar eclipses and celestial events in the context of the occult, in the context of Biblical Prophecy, and in light of MSM articles and warnings. It attempts to make sense of the non-sensical response to a known and recurring event.
BLUF: The April 8th Solar Eclipse may be used as a harbinger of greater events to come, as not only is this celestial event tied to occult symbolic meaning, but coincides with the “Devil’s Comet,” and aligns with an odd governmental set of responses.
Introduction:
Eclipses have held profound significance from an occultist perspective, drawing interpretations from various esoteric traditions such as Hermeticism, Freemasonry, the Kabbalah, Gnosticism, and magical practices like Wicca or The Craft.
In Hermeticism, eclipses symbolize the union of opposites, representing the blending of light and dark forces to achieve spiritual harmony and balance. Freemasonry views eclipses as symbolic of the struggle between light (representing knowledge and enlightenment) and darkness (symbolizing ignorance and spiritual blindness), emphasizing the eternal quest for wisdom. The Kabbalah interprets eclipses as cosmic events that mirror the celestial hierarchy and the interplay between divine forces, reflecting shifts in the balance of spiritual energies. In Gnosticism, eclipses signify moments of revelation and enlightenment, where hidden knowledge and deeper truths are unveiled, illuminating the path to spiritual liberation. From a magical standpoint such as Wicca or The Craft, eclipses are potent times for ritual work, harnessing the intensified energies of the celestial alignment to manifest intentions, perform divination, or engage in transformative practices.
Overall, eclipses are seen as powerful cosmic phenomena that hold deep symbolic meaning and spiritual significance across various occult traditions, serving as moments of profound insight, transformation, and spiritual growth.
Historical Context - Solar Eclipses and Significant Events:
Identifying specific historical events that occurred within 90 days of a total solar eclipse across multiple cultures and historical periods can be challenging due to the vast scope of history and the limited documentation of celestial events in ancient times. Additionally, while solar eclipses have been observed and recorded by various civilizations throughout history, their significance in relation to historical events may not always be well-documented or understood. However, in an effort to decipher if there is a trend, this substack has undergone a search for some examples where significant historical events and total solar eclipses have coincided within a relatively close timeframe.
Nineveh (763 BC): A total solar eclipse crossed north of Nineveh (modern Mosul) during the reign of King Ashur-Dan III. The Bible mentions Jonah preaching repentance to Nineveh around this time.
Battle of Plataea (479 BCE): A total solar eclipse happened in April 479 BCE, within 90 days of the Battle of Plataea during the Greco-Persian Wars. This battle marked the decisive victory of the Greek city-states, led by Sparta, against the Persian Empire.
Peloponnesian War: A total solar eclipse took place on August 3, 431 BCE, close to the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, which officially began in 431 BCE.
Battle of Carrhae (53 BCE): In May 53 BCE, a total solar eclipse took place close to the time of the Battle of Carrhae between the Roman Republic and the Parthian Empire. The defeat of the Roman forces led by Crassus was a significant event in Roman history.
Mongol Conquests (1227): A total solar eclipse occurred in June 1227, within 90 days of the death of Genghis Khan, the founder and leader of the Mongol Empire. His passing had profound implications for the future of the empire and its conquests.
Wars of the Roses (1461): On March 20, 1461, a total solar eclipse occurred within 90 days of the Battle of Towton, a key engagement in the Wars of the Roses in England. It resulted in a significant victory for the Yorkists, leading to Edward IV's coronation.
Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire: A total solar eclipse took place on April 16, 1562, within 90 days of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire in South America. Francisco Pizarro had already defeated the Inca Emperor Atahualpa in 1532, but the conquest was ongoing during this period.
War of the Spanish Succession (1701): A total solar eclipse took place on May 12, 1701, within 90 days of the beginning of the War of the Spanish Succession, a major European conflict triggered by the death of the Spanish king Charles II.
American Civil War (1865): On March 7, 1865, a total solar eclipse happened within 90 days of the fall of the Confederate capital, Richmond, Virginia, on April 3, 1865. This marked a crucial moment in the final stages of the American Civil War.
Battle of Isandlwana: On January 22, 1879, a total solar eclipse occurred within 90 days of the Battle of Isandlwana during the Anglo-Zulu War in South Africa. The battle, fought on January 22, 1879, resulted in a significant defeat for the British against the Zulu Kingdom.
French Revolution: A total solar eclipse occurred on July 8, 1792, within 90 days of the Storming of the Tuileries Palace in Paris on August 10, 1792, during the early stages of the French Revolution.
Battle of Halbe: A total solar eclipse took place on June 8, 1944, within 90 days of the Battle of Halbe during World War II. The battle occurred from April 24 to May 1, 1945, near the end of the war, resulting in heavy casualties for both German and Soviet forces.
Korean War: On June 30, 1954, a total solar eclipse occurred within 90 days of the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement on July 27, 1953, which ended the active fighting in the Korean War.
Correlation vs causation: Throughout human history, violence has unfortunately been a prevalent aspect, with numerous significant wars and conflicts shaping societies and civilizations. It's within this context that we observe some significant historical events coinciding with total solar eclipses, though it's crucial to recognize that these are correlations rather than causations.
Many major conflicts and events have occurred within 90 days of a total solar eclipse, but this may not necessarily indicate a direct linkage between the celestial event and human affairs. The frequency of total solar eclipses, happening roughly every 18 months somewhere on Earth, means that significant historical events are bound to overlap with these celestial phenomena occasionally, simply by chance. Moreover, the challenge of establishing a firm link is compounded by the scarcity of detailed historical records, particularly for ancient times. This scarcity makes it difficult to ascertain whether the occurrence of an eclipse truly influenced a historical event or if it's merely a coincidental alignment in the timeline of human history.
Therefore, while these correlations are intriguing, it's essential to approach them with caution and acknowledge the complexities involved in interpreting their significance.
Comets & Historical Significance:
The "Devil's Comet," officially known as Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, will appear in April 2024 coinciding with a total solar eclipse. This rare celestial happening is a testament to the vastness of space. While solar eclipses occur every 18 months or so, the path of totality is narrow. Likewise, Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks only reaches perihelion, its closest approach to the Sun, roughly every 71 years. The April 2024 coincidence is a unique opportunity for skywatchers to witness a major comet potentially visible during a total eclipse, highlighting the extraordinary rarity of such a cosmic double-feature. From a historical context, this begs the question: What historically significant events have occurred during past comet sightings throughout history?
China (21 B.C.): Some historical sources mention a total eclipse and a "guest star" (possibly a comet) appearing together in China around this date. However, further verification by historians and astronomers is needed.
Fall of Rome (410 A.D.): The Visigoths' sack of Rome in 410 A.D. coincided with the appearance of a bright comet. Once again, this could be seen as an omen, but there's no evidence of a direct link.
Bayeux Tapestry (1066): The Bayeux Tapestry, depicting the Norman conquest of England, includes an image of what might be Halley's Comet. This comet's appearance in 1066 could have been interpreted as an omen by the people of the time. It's important to note, however, that the tapestry was created decades after the event, and the comet's depiction might be symbolic rather than a documented observation.
Great Comet of 1680: This comet appeared in late 1680 and early 1681, but its exact timing and visibility may vary across different regions. It was one of the brightest comets of the 17th century and likely observed by various cultures around the world, though specific historical events within 90 days of its appearance may be challenging to identify.
1812: Devil’s Comet’s debut coincided with the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain—a tumultuous period of conflict.
1883: During Devil’s Comet’s reappearance, the world witnessed the eruption of Krakatoa, a volcanic island in Indonesia. The explosion was one of the most powerful in recorded history, affecting global climate and inspiring artistic and literary works.
Halley's Comet (1910): This appearance of Halley's Comet coincided with: The passing of the Earth through the comet's tail, sparking fears of cyanogen gas poisoning despite the lack of evidence for such danger. The widespread observation of the comet, leading to various cultural and artistic depictions.
Comet Hyakutake (1996): Another notable comet of the 20th century, Comet Hyakutake's appearance in 1996 led to significant public interest and observation, though its direct association with specific historical events may be limited.
Comet Hale-Bopp (1997): Although not necessarily associated with specific historical events, the appearance of Comet Hale-Bopp was one of the most widely observed comets of the 20th century, sparking public interest and scientific study.
Prior Predictions of Doom:
Throughout history there are numerous examples of people claiming the world was ending. Many of these ‘predictions’ have coincided with celestial events. Many of these ‘predictions’ never came to pass. Below are just a few notable examples, to provide a more complete and broader context to upcoming events.
Halley's Comet:
This famous comet returns to our inner solar system roughly every 76 years. Historical records show numerous instances where its appearance was met with fear. In 1066, for example, some interpreted Halley's Comet as a bad omen for the Norman invasion of England. Thankfully, the world kept spinning.
1910 Comet Scare: In 1910, astronomers predicted that Earth would pass through the tail of Comet Halley. Sensationalized news reports claimed the comet's tail contained poisonous gases that would cause mass destruction. People panicked, stocking up on supplies and even building shelters. Thankfully, Earth passed harmlessly through the tail, which was mostly dust and gas.
Blood Moon Prophecies: Total lunar eclipses, where the moon takes on a reddish hue due to scattered sunlight, have been interpreted as signs of apocalypse in some cultures. For example, the tetrad of blood moons between 2013 and 2014 was linked to doomsday predictions by some fringe groups. However, the event came and went without incident.
2012 Doomsday Myth: A misinterpreted Mayan calendar cycle led to widespread speculation about a potential apocalypse in 2012. This fear-mongering gained significant traction online and in popular culture. Thankfully, 2012 arrived without any cosmic disruptions.
Biblical References and Revelations
One last step needs to be established for this article and this is tied to Biblical references of solar eclipses and comets. The totality of each section will coalesce into a broader framework of understanding that will be explained toward the end of this substack entry.
Matthew 24:29: “Immediately after the distress of those days, ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’”
Context: In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus speaks to His disciples about the signs of the end times. He describes a time of great tribulation when the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light. This cosmic imagery signifies significant upheaval and divine intervention.
[Analyst note: for more on the Olivet Discourse, see Post 44: The Olivet Prophecy.]
Daniel 9:27: “He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’”
Context: Daniel’s prophecy refers to a future covenant or agreement. Some interpret this as the Antichrist making a pact with Israel. The mention of celestial events—such as the sun turning dark—underscores the gravity of these times.
[Analyst note: for more on the possible Antichrist, see Post 53: Is Trump the Antichrist?]
Revelation 6:12: “I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red.”
Context: In the book of Revelation, the opening of the sixth seal reveals cosmic disturbances. The sun turns black like sackcloth, and the moon appears blood-red. This apocalyptic imagery symbolizes judgment and the imminent return of Christ.
[Analyst note: for more on the Book of Revelation(s) see Post 47: Revelation: The Seven-Headed Dragon.]
Acts 2:20: “The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.”
Context: On the day of Pentecost, Peter quotes the prophet Joel. He declares that in the last days, there will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. This points to the cosmic significance of celestial events during eschatological times.
Luke 21:25: “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars.”
Context: Jesus speaks to His disciples about the signs preceding His second coming. He mentions that there will be cosmic disturbances, including signs in the sun, moon, and stars. These events signal the culmination of God’s plan.
Mark 13:24: “But in those days, following that distress, ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.’”
Context: Similar to Luke 21, Mark records Jesus’ words about the end times. The sun being darkened and the moon losing its light serve as cosmic indicators of the approaching Day of the Lord.
Joel 2:31: “The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.”
Context: Joel’s prophecy emphasizes the cosmic upheaval that will precede the great and awesome day of the Lord. The sun turning dark and the moon appearing blood-red signify divine intervention and judgment.
1 Thessalonians 5:3: “While people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.”
Context: Paul writes to the Thessalonian believers about the suddenness of the end times. While people seek peace and safety, destruction will come unexpectedly. The cosmic signs—like solar eclipses—underscore this urgency
Isaiah 13:10: "For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine."
Revelation 1:7: “Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye shall see Him, even those who pierced Him.”
Revelation 8:10-11: "The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of the waters— 11 and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it was made bitter."
Recent Headlines:
Before delving into recent headlines regarding the total solar eclipse of 2024, it is important to step back and view this through the lens of historical events, and what has been uncovered thus far.
Although, history is replete with examples of significant events happening within a temporal window of an eclipse, both eclipses and significant events have occurred with such regularity that it is hard to assign causation or even a tight correlation between the two. Furthermore, seeing that there have been numerous end-of-times prophecies, and so far, they’ve all been mostly wrong, the odds that a celestial event like a solar eclipse or a comet, being the cause of major catastrophe are limited. However, this doesn’t preclude that these events can be used as part of an Information Operation (a greater psyop) to manipulate a population and instill fear.
The headlines below are broken down into the following sections: Disaster & Emergency, School Closures, Emergency Exercises, National Guard, and Stockpiling Resources.
Headlines - Disaster & Emergency:
As the date of April 8, 2024, approaches, emergency planners across various regions are bracing themselves for the arrival a total solar eclipse. This relatively rare occurrence, shrouding the landscape in darkness for several minutes, has prompted jurisdictions to take preemptive measures in anticipation of potential challenges. Leveraging the elements of messaging and narrative, emergency preparedness efforts are aimed at both informing the public and instilling a sense of urgency. Declarations of local disaster are being issued to activate emergency response mechanisms, ensuring that infrastructure and resources are ready to address any unforeseen circumstances.
The eclipse, with its awe-inspiring spectacle, also presents an opportunity for psychological operations (psyops), tapping into the emotions of fear and uncertainty. Warnings and advisories are disseminated to urge citizens to stock up on essentials and heed safety precautions, while emphasizing the gravity of the event akin to a natural disaster.

WHY THIS IS INTERESTING:
There aren't any prior documented instances in the US or EU where a solar eclipse itself was declared a disaster or emergency. While these celestial events may prompt precautionary measures and emergency preparedness efforts in certain areas, they are generally not considered imminent threats or disasters on their own. Instead, authorities often focus on ensuring public safety, managing crowds, and addressing logistical concerns during eclipse events. Declarations of disaster or emergency are more commonly reserved for situations involving significant risks to life, property, or infrastructure, such as natural disasters, public health emergencies, or large-scale accidents.
Here's why historically they were never declared emergencies:
Solar Eclipses are Predictable: Unlike natural disasters like earthquakes or floods, solar eclipses are well-predicted astronomical events. Their path and timing are known years in advance, allowing for preparation.
Short Duration: The period of totality (complete sun blockage) during a solar eclipse lasts only a few minutes. While some disruptions might occur, they are temporary and manageable.
Headlines - School Closures:
Numerous states along the path of the total eclipse are closing, citing safety concerns. Total darkness could last up to three and a half minutes.
Texas:
Several counties in Texas have already issued disaster declarations in advance.
Safety concerns for students and visitors prompted multiple school closures.
The influx of tourists into the state during the eclipse ‘necessitated’ these precautions.
Oklahoma:
Schools in Oklahoma are also closing due to safety fears.
The sudden darkness during the eclipse could pose risks.
Authorities want to ensure the well-being of students and avoid potential eye damage from looking directly at the sun.

WHY THIS IS INTERESTING:
Solar eclipses occasionally prompt school closures, particularly when they coincide with peak school hours and safety concerns arise regarding students' direct viewing of the sun without proper eye protection. However, this go around seems to be prompting far more school closures than prior solar eclipses.
Here are a few examples of times when solar eclipses led to school closures due to safety concerns:
August 21, 2017, Total Solar Eclipse (United States): Dubbed the "Great American Eclipse," this event prompted many schools along the path of totality, where the sun would be completely obscured, to close or alter their schedules to ensure students' safety. Schools in states such as Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, and South Carolina closed for the day or implemented special viewing events with proper safety measures in place.
March 20, 2015, Solar Eclipse (United Kingdom): In the UK, where a partial solar eclipse was visible, some schools opted to close early or organize indoor viewing events to prevent students from looking directly at the sun without adequate eye protection. Safety concerns regarding potential eye damage were the primary reason for these closures and alternative arrangements.
August 11, 1999, Total Solar Eclipse (Europe): This total solar eclipse, which was visible across parts of Europe, prompted some schools in the path of totality to close for the day to ensure the safety of students. Similar to other instances, precautions were taken to prevent students from looking directly at the sun during the event.
Headlines - Exercises:
As the countdown to the 2024 Great Northern American Solar Eclipse continues, state emergency response agencies are intensifying their efforts to ensure readiness for potential challenges. Several states have held tabletop exercises with federal, state, and local agencies. Exercises have been held in Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio, and New York.
HEADLINES:
STATE EMERGENCY RESPONSE AGENCIES TAKE PART IN EXERCISE TO PREPARE FOR THE 2024 SOLAR ECLIPSE (DPS AR)
“On February 15, 2024, federal, state, local, and private agencies participated in a tabletop exercise for the 2024 Great Northern American Solar Eclipse. Several scenarios, such as severe weather, transportation and traffic management issues, and potential fuel shortages, may impact Arkansans during the solar eclipse. Additionally, there may be emergency events that could arise before, during, and after the eclipse. The exercise included communication, public information, and services related to public health and emergency medical services.”
IU Bloomington leaders conduct safety exercise to prepare for solar eclipse (News at IU)
“Leaders representing departments across Indiana University Bloomington recently met to discuss how they would respond to an astronomical phenomenon. Their focus was the total solar eclipse that will occur April 8 and the challenges that may arise when 300,000 to 400,000 visitors come to the area for an event that hasn’t occurred in the state in over 150 years.
The influx of visitors poses potential health and safety risks, including high traffic volume, which could hinder emergency vehicles or stall deliveries. Increased calls to the 911 dispatch center and potential challenges with Wi-Fi and cellular network connectivity are also anticipated.
IU Dining and Hospitality focused on its plans to have food delivered in advance and to stock up on nonperishable items to ensure there will be options for on-campus dining even if delivery trucks can’t get through to campus.”

Homeland Security Agency holds meeting on solar eclipse (The Evening Leader)
“On Thursday, the Auglaize County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency held a meeting to discuss the ongoing preparations for the eclipse. As the event draws nearer, officials from local and state governments, law enforcement, fire, EMS, healthcare, and many others are refining their plans at these meetings.”
WHY THIS IS INTERESTING:
I was unable to find prior tabletop exercises and multi-agency responses and training specifically tied to solar eclipses. In the past and in general, emergency management agencies, law enforcement, and other response organizations may incorporate celestial events like solar eclipses into their broader emergency preparedness and response planning efforts. These activities could include reviewing response protocols, communication strategies, public outreach campaigns, and coordination with other agencies, but specific details of such activities may not always be readily available to the public. However, specific training, tabletop exercises and multi-agency responses for an eclipse is very odd.
Headlines - National Guard:
As anticipation builds for the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, various regions across the United States are mobilizing resources and personnel to ensure public safety and manage the influx of visitors expected to witness this rare celestial event, this includes the use of the National Guard.

WHY THIS IS INTERESTING:
There have been no documented instances of the United States National Guard being specifically activated in advance of a solar eclipse or in direct response to a solar eclipse. While the National Guard may be involved in emergency response efforts related to large-scale events, natural disasters, or public safety concerns, such as crowd control or logistical support, activations specifically tied to solar eclipses are not common occurrences.
Headlines - Stockpile Resources:
As anticipation builds for the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse, local communities like Elyria Township in Lorain County are urging residents to prepare for potential disruptions by stocking up on essential supplies. With the influx of out-of-town guests expected to converge on the area to witness the rare celestial event, concerns about strained emergency services have prompted proactive measures.

“ELYRIA TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WJW) – The list of local communities asking residents to ‘stay home’ during the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse is growing.
Elyria Township in Lorain County posted a message on its website telling residents that while the rare phenomenon is expected to last only a few minutes, the area is anticipating an infiltration of out-of-town guests putting a potential strain on emergency services for several hours.”
WHY THIS IS INTERESTING:
There have been no documented instances of governmental officials or mainstream media (MSM) issuing widespread warnings to the public to stockpile food, water, fill up vehicles, or have alternative communication methods specifically in preparation for a solar eclipse. While emergency preparedness messages related to celestial events such as solar eclipses may include general reminders about ensuring basic supplies and communication plans, explicit directives to stockpile resources in advance of eclipses are not common occurrences.
Here's why:
Limited Disruption: Solar eclipses are short-lived events, with totality lasting only a few minutes. Power outages during a solar eclipse are extremely rare and localized, if they occur at all.
Unnecessary Stockpiling: Encouraging large-scale stockpiling for a predictable event could lead to unnecessary panic buying and shortages. Regular food and water supplies are sufficient for the short duration of an eclipse.
Focus on Safety: Official messaging regarding solar eclipses typically focuses on safe viewing practices with special eclipse glasses and avoiding looking directly at the sun.
Red Heffer & Apocalyptic Prophecy:
The Red Heifer project conducted in Israel has garnered significant attention, drawing upon Biblical references, Kabbalistic teachings, Talmudic traditions, and modern genetic engineering. In Jewish tradition, the Red Heifer holds profound significance as a key element in the purification rituals described in the Torah, particularly in Numbers 19. According to these scriptures, the ashes of a Red Heifer were used to purify individuals from ritual impurity, allowing them to participate in sacred rites. In Kabbalistic teachings, the Red Heifer is associated with mystical symbolism, representing the restoration of spiritual purity and the preparation for the coming of the Messiah.
This ritual involves the sacrifice of a perfect red heifer to prepare the ashes for a ceremony that would, according to some interpretations, allow the Temple Mount to be ritually cleansed and pave the way for the building of the Third Temple.
Biblical and Judaic References:
Numbers 19: This chapter prescribes the ritual for the red heifer, detailing its specific physical characteristics and the sacrificial process.
Kabbalah: Some interpretations within Kabbalah, a mystical Jewish tradition, view the red heifer ceremony as a symbolic cleansing necessary for spiritual redemption.
Talmud: The Talmud, a collection of Jewish commentaries and legal discussions, contains debates about the specifics of the red heifer ritual.
Genetic Engineering and Controversy: Finding a perfect red heifer, according to the Biblical description, is extremely rare. There's debate about whether the project utilizes genetic engineering techniques to increase the chances of such a birth. This aspect raises ethical concerns within some Jewish communities, as it involves manipulating the natural order.
Solar Eclipse and Devil's Comet: Some proponents of the Red Heifer Project have linked it to celestial events like the recent solar eclipse and the appearance of Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks (Devil's Comet). However, there's no established religious basis for this connection. Although, there is an occultist connection to celestial events and manifesting real-world events.
Sacrificial Practices: The project's emphasis on animal sacrifice has drawn comparisons to ancient Canaanite practices and the Pergamon Altar, used for offerings to deities like Moloch, Baal, and Marduk. Judaism, after the destruction of the Second Temple, largely transitioned away from animal sacrifices, emphasizing prayer and repentance. Bringing back animal sacrifices is an interesting development in this modern era, especially, as historically animal and human sacrifices were both performed to appease god(s).
[Analyst note: the gods have gone by numerous names, Elohim, Yahweh, El, Adonai, Enki, Marduk, Zeus, Saturn, Odin, Thor, etc. For more see Post 54: Human Sacrifice - Historical Trends. Also see Post 42: Pergamon Altar - Throne of Satan.]
Apocalyptic Headlines: The prospect of Red Heifer sacrifices has generated apocalyptic-style headlines and speculation, with some interpreting these events as harbingers of eschatological significance. Discussions surrounding the Red Heifer project often evoke themes of purification, spiritual renewal, and the anticipation of Messianic redemption, reflecting deep-rooted beliefs and theological interpretations within Jewish tradition. However, interpretations vary widely, with some viewing the project as a symbolic gesture and others attributing profound cosmic significance to its outcomes. These headlines often focus on the potential rebuilding of the Third Temple as a harbinger of the end times, a viewpoint not shared by all branches of Judaism.
Controversy: The endeavor to establish the Third Temple and the consecrated space of the Holy of Holies, where the ceremony of the red heifer is to be performed, represents an unprecedented diplomatic challenge on the international stage. The presence of the Dome of the Rock atop the presumed location of the Holy of Holies on the Temple Mount has raised concerns among many Muslims about the potential destruction of the Al Aqsa Mosque. While Rabbi Mamo emphasizes that such destruction is not the intention, any such scenario would likely ignite widespread protests and violence among Islamic followers worldwide.
[Analyst note: this is interesting as in 2012 an odd CGI animation was released called I, Pet Goat II. This short animation was riddled with occult symbolism and overt imagery to include what appeared to be the destruction of the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Second Coming of the ‘Messiah.’ Furthermore, the YouTube channel, taken down years ago, was reinstated recently, again featuring this one video. For more on this odd clip, see Post 21: I, Pet Goat II - Satanic or Enlightened? Part 1 and Post 22: Does I, Pet Goat II - Predict the Future? Part 2.]
The Project's Status: The Red Heifer Project appears to be reaching a pivotal moment of imminence, marked by the construction of an altar, signaling a significant milestone in its progress. Against the backdrop of escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly concerning the Al Aqsa Mosque, the timing of this development heightens the anticipation of a potential event unfolding in the near future. With geopolitical dynamics in the region at a heightened state, the convergence of these factors suggests that the realization of the Red Heifer Project may be more likely now than at any time in recent decades. The stage is set for a momentous event that could have far-reaching implications, both regionally and internationally.
Summary:
The solar eclipse scheduled for April 2024 has sparked unusual responses from some governments and organizations, prompting a closer examination of the underlying factors driving these reactions.
Among the key points highlighted are the declarations of disaster by several counties, despite historical precedent indicating that eclipses are not emergencies. Additionally, many schools have opted to close out of safety concerns, even though viewing the eclipse with proper protection poses no inherent danger. States are also engaging in emergency preparedness efforts, conducting response exercises, and stockpiling resources. In the media, headlines are employing language that suggests the eclipse is a looming threat, urging individuals to stockpile food and prepare for disaster.
Possible reasons for these unusual responses include considerations of psychological operations (Psyops), where the fear surrounding the eclipse may be exploited to manipulate the population, as well as potential misinformation contributing to confusion about eclipse safety.
This article delved into the historical context of eclipses and significant events, exploring biblical references to phenomena such as the darkening of the sun and moon, although interpretations remain open-ended.
Ultimately, this entry suggests that the peculiar reactions to the upcoming eclipse may stem from a combination of misinformation and possible manipulation, underscoring the importance of critical analysis and informed decision-making in navigating such events.
Conclusion:
This situation raises concerns about the possibility of a larger agenda at play, one that involves a Globalist Cabal of Luciferian occultists utilizing a significant celestial event, steeped in their secretive traditions, to bring about chaos and change.
History has shown that mass psychological operations often precede major events, with tabletop exercises and the mobilization of numerous governmental agencies serving as indicators (see Post 67). Examples such as Covid-19, October 7th in Israel, 9/11, the Bay of Tonkin and Vietnam, and Pearl Harbor and WW2 illustrate this pattern.
Therefore, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that a similar operation is underway to generate apocalyptic events and pave the way for the emergence of a false prophet, masquerading as the 'Messiah.'
Final Thoughts: The oddities of tabletop exercises, recent predictive programming, MSM warnings, school closures, military mobilization, and Israeli attempts at manufacturing prophecy are enough to stimulate preparation and caution. For those living in the path of the Solar Eclipse, it is prudent to be prepared for more than just a Solar Eclipse.
That being stated, the MSM articles and thereby the greater psyop must be viewed through the lens of the known goals of a Globalist Agenda. In this case, declaring any event as an emergency, normalizes an excessive governmental response with restrictions and reporting requirements. It is likely that the solar eclipse, therefore, serves several purposes at once.
One, it is a ritualistic window for occultists to attempt to manifest their desired goals. Two, it is an opportunity to continue the Apocalypse Psyop. Three, it is an excuse to mobilize and coordinate a massive governmental response - a possible practice run for a real-world event to come. Last, it is possible that the real-world event (a likely false flag scenario) could occur within a short temporal window of the solar eclipse - recall Post 10: Is the End Near? in which the Future Forecast Group predicted a massive event within a 90-270 day window, we’re still in this temporal window. Furthermore, recall Post 85: Remote Viewing - Rapture/Harvest & Project Blue Beam, which shows the possible technological means and the planning for a false Apocalypse Event.
Ultimately, humanity collectively manifests our reality. Do not give into the fear. Do not fall for the psyop. This, however, does not mean you shouldn’t prepare and become more self sufficient. Self sufficiency goes a long way to reducing fear.

Outstanding!
Fear is the mind killer.
The precautionary principle applies.
The schedules of the various LHC's might be in the mix.
Cheers
Irregardless of the celestial phenomena of whatever is out of the “ ordinary “ it will be planned as a fear event to feed the desires of the few that have an insatiable need for low frequencies..
