The Upcoming U.S. Eclipse Just Got Even Stranger!

I’ve previously reported on the upcoming Solar Eclipse to occur in the United States on April 8, 2024.

I’ll post that reporting below in case you missed it.

But let me quickly bring you up to speed….

Seven years ago in 2017 we had the first solar eclipse that crossed the USA, you probably remember it.  It was a big craze.

It resulting in this infamous Trump meme:

Still hilarious to me, the man is so tough he looks straight into the eclipse with no sunglasses!

What a legend.

Anyway, that was back in 2017 and we knew back then a new Eclipse would hit in 2024 criss-crossing the nation so it formed an “X” or a cross or whatever you want to label it.

Like this:

So any time you get an event like that that literally marks an “X” on the USA, you tend to pay attention.

After all, the Bible tells us in Genesis 1:14 that God uses the Sun, Moon and Stars for signs and seasons:

“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years”

So when there’s a giant sign in the sky creating an “X” across the USA, maybe it’s worth paying attention?

But then when you look into it that’s when you start to notice some wild stuff.

As I reported on last week (and I will copy below), this new eclipse crosses through 8 cities named Nineveh (7 in the US, 1 in Canada).

I had no idea there were even 7 US cities named Nineveh in the first place, but there are!

Turns out there are EXACTLY 7, so this eclipse just so happens to cross all of them.

That’s kind of strange.

But now here’s the new bit of information.

I remember this now from 2017 but I had forgotten it.

The 2017 eclipse similarly crosses through 7 US cities named “Salem”.

Wow!

It reminds me of that Bible story of the 7 Years of Plenty and the 7 Years of Famine.  Same thing here, 7 and 7.  7 cities named Nineveh and 7 cities named Salem.

From ChatGPT, here are the details:

The total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, was a significant event that crossed the United States from the Pacific to the Atlantic. It is true that its path of totality (the path where the moon entirely blocks the sun, causing a total eclipse visible from Earth) intersected various locations with the name “Salem” across the country. The cities named Salem that were either in or very close to the path of totality include:

  1. Salem, Oregon: This Salem was one of the first cities to witness the total solar eclipse as it made its way across the United States. It was a prime viewing location, with thousands of people gathering to experience the event.
  2. Salem, Idaho: A small location in Fremont County, which experienced the total eclipse.
  3. Salem, Wyoming: While there is no widely known Salem in Wyoming directly on the eclipse path, eclipse maps show that the path of totality went through parts of Wyoming. There may be confusion or a lesser-known area referred to by this name.
  4. Salem, Nebraska: There isn’t a well-known Salem in Nebraska that was directly on the path of totality. However, the state did experience parts of the eclipse, and nearby locations could have been informally referred to in this manner.
  5. Salem, Missouri: This Salem was near the path of totality, with the total eclipse being visible in areas very close to it.
  6. Salem, Kentucky: Located in Livingston County, Salem, Kentucky, was in the path of totality and offered a good view of the eclipse.
  7. Salem, South Carolina: This Salem was also in the path of totality, providing residents and visitors a chance to see the total eclipse.

So it might be worth digging a little deeper to see what the message is here?  If indeed we’re supposed to learn something from this sign in the sky.

Salem is a semitic word most commonly said to mean “peace”, it shares the same root word as “Shalom”.

Nineveh is a city in the Bible that twice was sent “judgment” from God.  First from Jonah (and the Whale) and later a second time from the prophet Nahum where the capital of the Assyrian Empire is indeed then destroyed for its wickedness.

So recapping, our first eclipse seemed to spotlight the word “Peace” and the second eclipse happening in about a month seems to be more focused on “judgment for wickedness”.

Hey, I don’t make the news I just report it!

Love to hear what you think!

And if you missed our original reporting on the 8 Nineveh’s, keep reading:

FACT-CHECK: The Upcoming Eclipse Will Cross Over 8 Cities Named Nineveh?

Have you heard about this?

It’s all over social media that the upcoming Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024 will do something very strange….the path of totality will cross over 8 towns/cities in the USA named “Nineveh/Ninevah”.

And this:

That’s strange, right?

But is it true?

I decided to research it and I wanted to share those results with you.

I have to admit something first, I had no idea we had any towns or cities in the USA named Nineveh, let alone 8 of them!

How about you?

That’s wild.

But here’s what else is crazy: the claim is mostly true.

According to ChatGPT, the claim is true with one small twist: the 8th city named Ninevah is in Nova Scotia, Canada:

Yes, it’s true that the upcoming Great North American Eclipse on April 8, 2024, will pass over several locations named Nineveh in the United States, as well as a location named Ninevah in Nova Scotia, Canada. The eclipse will indeed be a significant event, crossing over seven specific locations in the U.S. named “Nineveh.” These locations are:

  1. Nineveh, Texas
  2. Nineveh, Missouri
  3. Nineveh, Indiana
  4. Nineveh, Ohio
  5. Nineveh, Pennsylvania
  6. Nineveh, Virginia
  7. Nineveh, New York

Additionally, the eclipse will pass over a location named “Ninevah” in Nova Scotia, Canada, making a total of eight places named after the ancient city​​.

The eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024, and it’s expected to be one of the most viewed astronomical events in U.S. history. In some of these locations, residents will be able to view a total solar eclipse, while others will experience a partial solar eclipse.

For detailed information about the eclipse, including simulations and viewing information for specific cities like Nineveh, New York, you can visit websites dedicated to the eclipse, such as eclipse2024.org, which offers detailed eclipse viewing information, including times, magnitudes, and where the eclipse will be visible​​​​.

I also asked Grok and Grok confirms the same information EXCEPT Grok claims that Ninevah, Canada is not in the Eclipse path:

As best I can tell from looking at maps, Ninevah, Canada is indeed close to the path of the Eclipse but perhaps slightly off.

So I think Grok is more accurate on that detail.

But now I want to take it one layer deeper….

Because here’s what I found even more stunning than that initial claim: not only does the Eclipse pass through 7 US cities named Nineveh, but there are ONLY 7 total US cities named Nineveh in the entire United States.

Yes, you read that right: there are only 7 total and the Eclipse hits them all!

Look, I don’t know what to make of all of this but I don’t think it’s just some random chance or coincidence.

How about you?

So what would be the most logical thing to do next?

Might be good to refresh ourselves on what Nineveh was in the Bible and what importance that story had, don’t you think?

Here’s a good summary:

Nineveh is most famously known in the Bible as the capital of the ancient Assyrian empire and the city to which the prophet Jonah was sent by God to call its people to repentance. The story of Jonah and Nineveh is primarily found in the Book of Jonah in the Old Testament.

Context of Nineveh in the Bible:

  • Location and Significance: Nineveh was a great city located on the eastern bank of the Tigris River, near modern-day Mosul in Iraq. It was one of the oldest and greatest cities in antiquity, known for its wealth, size, and the wickedness of its inhabitants.
  • The Prophet Jonah: The story of Nineveh begins with God calling Jonah, a prophet from Israel, to go to Nineveh and preach against it because of its wickedness. Jonah initially flees from this mission, leading to the famous incident where he is swallowed by a great fish and eventually vomited out after three days and nights.
  • Jonah’s Message and Nineveh’s Repentance: Jonah eventually goes to Nineveh and announces that the city will be overthrown in forty days. Remarkably, the Ninevites believe God’s message delivered through Jonah, leading to a city-wide fast and repentance, from the king down to the common people. They wear sackcloth and sit in ashes as signs of their penitence.
  • God’s Mercy: Moved by their sincere repentance, God shows mercy and spares the city from destruction. This outcome displeases Jonah, who had expected and perhaps desired the city’s downfall. The book ends with God teaching Jonah (and the readers) a lesson about compassion and mercy, emphasizing that God cares for all people, not just the Israelites.

Themes and Lessons:

  • Repentance and Forgiveness: One of the central themes of the Book of Jonah is the power of repentance and God’s willingness to forgive those who turn away from their wickedness.
  • God’s Mercy and Compassion: The story illustrates God’s compassion and mercy, extending even to a city notorious for its wickedness when its people turn to Him in repentance.
  • Universalism of God’s Love: Unlike much of the Old Testament, which focuses on Israel, the story of Jonah highlights the universal scope of God’s concern for all humanity, not just the chosen people.

The narrative of Nineveh in the Bible is a profound story of divine mercy and human repentance, illustrating that no person or city is beyond the reach of God’s grace if they turn towards Him with a sincere heart.

Things are about to get very interesting I think!
