What Happened the Last Time Two Eclipses?

 What Happened the Last Time Two Eclipses Formed a Giant “X” Over the New Madrid Fault Zone? - by Michael Snyder - https://endoftheamericandream.com/what-happened-the-last-time-two-eclipses-formed-a-giant-x-over-the-new-madrid-fault-zone/ Could it be possible that history is about to repeat itself? On April 8th, the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will complete the giant “X” over America that the Great AmericanEclipse of 2017 started. Meanwhile, the Devil Comet will be racing through our solar system for the first time in 71 years. Most of you already know all this. But what is not widely known is that we have seen this same pattern before. In 1811, a solar eclipsefinished the giant “X” over the heartland of America that a solar eclipse in 1806 had started, and meanwhile Tecumseh’s Comet was making headlines all over the nation as it raced through the heavens. Approximately three months after the giant “X” over Americawas completed, cataclysmic earthquakes began erupting along the New Madrid fault. A lot of you are not familiar with this, and so let me take it one step at a time. A remarkable total solar eclipse crossed the entire continental United States from the west coast to the east coast on June 16th, 1806… On June 16, 1806, a total solar eclipse crossed the North America from Baja California to Massachusetts. This was a long duration eclipse with nearly 5 minutes totality atthe point of greatest eclipse. While the western United States was sparsely populated, this eclipse did pass over Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. That was the first half of the giant “X” over America in the early 1800s. The second half was formed by the path of a “ring of fire” solar eclipse that took place on September 17th, 1811. This eclipse was so widely anticipated that even Thomas Jefferson wrote about it… But in 1811, when the solar eclipse that occurred on Constitution Day was visible in central Virginia, that is exactly what Thomas Jefferson did. On September 17, he diligently recorded his observations in his weather journal. He noted the times when the moon first “contacted” the sun, when the annulus (ring shape)formed, when the annulus broke, and when the contact ended. He also indicated the central time of the contact and the central time of the annulus. According to Jefferson’s observations, the entire event lasted 3 hours, 15 minutes, and 34 seconds. The paths of those two eclipses intersected in the vicinity of Cleveland, Ohio… The 1806 and 1811 eclipses cross in Cleveland, which was founded in 1796. It is not a Hepton Cross, and one of the eclipses is annular, but it’s still probably the most pronouncedUS cross until our current ones. Approximately three months after the eclipse of 1811 completed the giant “X” over America, the New Madrid fault zone started to go absolutely nuts. To this day, we have never seen earthquakes of such destructive power in the continental United States… 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 6,000-10,000earthquakes 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 earthquakesare 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. According to the USGS, at one point the geography of the region became so distorted by seismic activity that the Mississippi River actually began to flow backwards temporarily… In the winter of 1811 and 1812, the New Madrid seismic zone generated a sequence of earthquakes that lasted for several months and included three very large earthquakes estimatedto be between magnitude 7 and 8. The three largest 1811-1812 earthquakes destroyed several settlements along the Mississippi River, caused minor structural damage as far away as Cincinnati, Ohio, and St. Louis, Missouri, and were felt as far away as Hartford,Connecticut, Charleston, South Carolina, and New Orleans, Louisiana. In the New Madrid region, the earthquakes dramatically affected the landscape. They caused bank failures along the Mississippi River, landslides along Chickasaw Bluffs in Kentucky and Tennessee,and uplift and subsidence of large tracts of land in the Mississippi River floodplain. One such uplift related to faulting near New Madrid, Missouri, temporarily forced the Mississippi River to flow backwards. In addition, the earthquakes liquefied subsurfacesediment over a large area and at great distances resulting in ground fissuring and violent venting of water and sediment. One account of this phenomena stated that the Pemiscot Bayou “blew up for a distance of nearly fifty miles.” These earthquakes opened up enormous fissures in the ground. Some of them were up to five miles long, and most of the crevices “ran from north to south”. I think that is a very interesting detail. Just before the earthquakes started, Tecumseh’s Comet made a spectacular appearance… The earthquakes were preceded by the appearance of a great comet, which was visible around the globe for seventeen months, and was at its brightest during the earthquakes.The comet, with an orbit of 3,065 years, was last seen during the time of Ramses II in Egypt. In 1811-1812, it was called “Tecumseh’s Comet” (or “Napoleon’s Comet” in Europe). Here in 2024, the “Devil Comet” has made a spectacular appearance just before the Great American Eclipse of 2024 finishes the giant “X” over America that the Great AmericanEclipse of 2017 started. Interestingly, CBS News is reporting that large numbers of Americans will be flocking to an area in southern Illinois where the paths of the Great American Eclipse of 2024and the Great American Eclipse of 2017 intersect… While many are likely to head as far south as possible, some of the biggest cities in the Midwest are likely to fuel day-of migration to spots in Missouri and Illinois, manyof them likely seeing a total eclipse for the second time in a decade. A small zone centered around Carbondale, Illinois, was along the path of totality in 2017, and will be once again this month. For a lot of these people, the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will be a wonderful opportunity to party. As the most ominous sign in the entire history of our country passes over our heads, they will be celebrating. But the last time we saw a giant “X” over the heartland of America, it certainly wasn’t anything to celebrate. Scientists tell us that it is just a matter of time before cataclysmic earthquakes erupt along the New Madrid fault zone once again, and when that time arrives the death anddestruction that we will witness will be off the charts. --------------------------------------- There Will Be �Blood Moon Purim Eclipses� For Three Years In A Row In 2024, 2025 And 2026- by Michael Snyder - https://endoftheamericandream.com/there-will-be-blood-moon-purim-eclipses-for-three-years-in-a-row-in-2024-2025-and-2026/ Is it just a coincidence that �blood moon eclipses� are occurring on Purim for three years in a row just as a great war erupts in the Middle East? Yesterday, one of my readerswrote to me and pointed out a video where someone was talking about this. I had previously written about the �blood moon eclipse� that happened during the second day of Purim on March 25th of this year, but I had not heard that there would be �blood moon eclipses� on Purim in 2025 and 2026 too. So I started to do some research to confirm whether this is true or not. I did a Google search for Purim in 2025, and this is what I found� Purim in 2025 is on Friday, March 14. Purim is always celebrated for 2 days, so it will continue till March 15. So then I went to Wikipedia and I discovered that there will be a lunar eclipse on March 14th, 2025� A total lunar eclipse will take place on Friday, March 14, 2025, the first of two total lunar eclipses in 2025. The Moon will take place near apogee during this eclipse, makingit appear smaller than usual. This blood moon eclipse will happen on the first day of Purim next year, and it will be visible from Jerusalem. Having confirmed that there will be a �blood moon Purim eclipse� in 2025, I asked Google when Purim would be in 2026. According to hebcal.com, the first day of Purim in 2026 begins at sundown on March 2nd and it ends at sundown on March 3rd� Purim for Hebrew Year 5786 begins at sundown on Monday, 2 March 2026 and ends at nightfall on Tuesday, 3 March 2026 . And according to Wikipedia there will be a lunar eclipse on March 3rd, 2026� A total lunar eclipse will take place on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, the first of two lunar eclipses in 2026. This �blood moon Purim eclipse� will complete the set. As far as I know, we have never seen something like this happen for three years in a row. So what does all of this mean? I don�t know. But I will give you some of my thoughts. In the Book of Esther, we read about the origins of Purim. The enemies of Israel thought that they were finally going to defeat the Jewish people, but in the end the Jewish people got the upper hand on their enemies. And I think that a similar scenario is playing out today. Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and other Iranian-backed groups in the region have been preparing for war with Israel for years. Collectively, their forces greatly outnumber Israeli forces. And they possess vast numbers of missiles. In fact, Hezbollah alone has an arsenal of at least 150,000 highly sophisticated missiles ready to fire at Israel. Yes, Israel has the Iron Dome, but that system can only handle a limited number of targets at a time. If thousands of missiles start raining down on Israeli cities all at once, Israel will be overwhelmed. Right now, the world is waiting to see how Iran will respond to Israel�s stunning airstrike on Damascus on Monday. Iran�s supreme leader has told the world that Israel �will be punished by our brave men�� Several of Iran�s most powerful officials, including �supreme leader� Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed revenge against Israel following an airstrike in Damascus, Syria, on Mondaythat eliminated a senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) leader. �The evil regime will be punished by our brave men. We will make them regret this crime and other ones, by God�s will,� Khamenei proclaimed, according to the Iranian state-runPressTV propaganda network on Tuesday. Khamenei referred to Israel as �usurping and despicable.� That makes it sound like Iran will take revenge directly instead of relying on proxies to do their dirty work this time. Hezbollah is also warning that there will be �punishment and revenge�� �This crime will certainly not pass without the enemy receiving punishment and revenge,� Hezbollah said in a statement. We shall see what happens. If the response is too severe, it could set in motion a chain of events that nobody will be able to control. Already, one expert is warning that we have reached a point of �all-out war between Israel and the resistance axis�� Meanwhile, Bassam Abu Abdallah, who heads the Damascus Centre for Strategic Research and is close to the Syrian government, said that before Monday �there were rules of engagement,but now it�s an all-out war between Israel and the resistance axis�. The course of this war was fundamentally altered this week, and it would be difficult to overstate the anger that we are witnessing in the Islamic world at this moment. On Tuesday, there were enormous flag-burning protests all over the Middle East� Huge American flag-burning protests have erupted across the Middle East as Iranian protesters gather to condemn the Israeli airstrike against Iran�s consulate in Syria onMonday. Photos and videos show large groups of protesters shouting anti-Israeli and anti-US slogans in Tehran while burning US and Israeli flags in a show of frustration and anger. At some point in the coming months, I believe that a breaking point will come. If the combined forces of Iran, Syria and Hezbollah start pouring toward northern Israel and if thousands of missiles start raising down on Israeli cities, the governmentof Israel will almost certainly respond with overwhelming force. We are talking about an apocalyptic scenario that nobody wants to see. And right now we are just one step away from such a conflict. When all-out war erupts in the Middle East, we are all going to be deeply affected. The price of oil will go absolutely nuts, and massive unrest will flare up in large citiesall over the globe. We should pray for peace, but I don�t see any way that an apocalyptic Middle East war is going to be avoided at this point. -----------------------------------
