A major solar eclipse is expected to occur during start of the Feast of Trumpets in Jerusalem (which begins at sunset on October 2nd):
What is the annular ‘ring of fire’? This next eclipse happens in less than a month
September 4, 2024
- This year’s annular eclipse, also known as the “ring of fire,” occurs on October 2, 2024.
- Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. that will have a partial view of the annular eclipse.
- The annular eclipse takes place when the moon appears slightly smaller than the sun, covering part of the sun’s disk creating an appearance of a ring of light. …
What is the annular ‘ring of fire’ eclipse?
The annular eclipse, also known as the “ring of fire,” occurs when the moon appears slightly smaller than the sun, covering only part of the sun’s disk and creating the appearance of a ring of light outlining the moon’s silhouette, per the Planetary Society. This thin line surrounding the moon is called an “annulus.”
Annular solar eclipses occur when the moon is farther from Earth. Meanwhile, the moon’s shadow does not completely block out the sun’s light, instead a ring of sunlight is visible around the moon, according to Space.com. https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/annular-ring-of-fire-eclipse-what-to-know
Regarding this upcoming eclipse, Michael Snyder has concerns:
Have You Heard About The “Ring Of Fire” Rosh Hashanah Eclipse That Is Coming In October?
September 3, 2024
Why do solar eclipses keep falling on such noteworthy dates? In 2024, there will be a total of just 2 solar eclipses. The first happened on April 8th, 2024. That was known as the “Great American Eclipse of 2024”, and it occurred just after the sun had gone down in Israel and the first day of the first month on the Hebrew calendar had begun. The second solar eclipse of 2024 will take place on October 2nd. When it occurs, the sun will have just gone down in Israel and the festival of Rosh Hashanah will have just started.
I realize that this is a lot to process, and so let it sink in for a moment.
Is it just a coincidence that the first solar eclipse of 2024 just happened to fall on the very first day of the very first month on the Hebrew calendar, and the second solar eclipse of 2024 just happens to fall on the day that is celebrated as “the Jewish New Year”? …
So exactly what is an “annular solar eclipse”?
It is when the moon crosses the face of the sun but does not completely block it out. When the moon is centered directly in front of the sun, a ring of sunlight is still visible around the moon, and that is why such an event is often called a “ring of fire” eclipse…
According to USA Today, the Moon will begin to cross the face of the Sun at 15:42 UTC…
15:42 UTC is 6:42 PM in Jerusalem.
On October 2nd, the sun will go down at 6:22 PM in Israel, and that is precisely when the festival of Rosh Hashanah will start.
So when this eclipse begins, the festival of Rosh Hashanah will have just commenced. …
Unlike the “Great American Eclipse of 2024”, the eclipse on October 2nd will not be visible in the continental United States. …
Many people out there are entirely convinced that the solar eclipses of 2024 are just completely random events that have no significance whatsoever.
And I can certainly understand why they would choose to see things that way. …
But Jesus did specifically warn us that “there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars” in the last days, and in order to have a solar eclipse the sun and the moon must both be involved.
Here in 2024, we have already witnessed a solar eclipse on the very first day of the very first month on the Biblical calendar, and now we are going to witness a solar eclipse on the very first day of the seventh month on the Biblical calendar which is considered to be “the Jewish New Year”.
If that is just a coincidence, it is a really, really bizarre one. https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/have-you-heard-about-the-ring-of-fire-rosh-hashanah-eclipse-that-is-coming-in-october/
There have been many predictions and fallacious statements about eclipses and other natural phenomena. The “blood moons” of last decade also occurred near/on the biblical Holy Days–but they were wrongly interpreted by various Protestant prophecy leaders.
Regarding the eclipse that Michael Snyder called “Great American Eclipse of 2024,” World Net Daily put out something related to Mark Biltz:
April 6, 2024
WND has reported Pastor Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries, an expert on those historical perceptions, noted in the Bible, solar events are recorded as having a remarkable and sometimes supernatural significance.
He explained control over the sun was demonstrated by God in the three-day Plague of Darkness, and is prophesied to be an essential part of the End Times. The Prophet Joel (2:31) predicted, “The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” The Prophet Amos makes a similar prediction: “And in that day – declares my God – I will make the sun set at noon, I will darken the earth on a sunny day.” https://www.wnd.com/2024/04/solar-eclipse-cast-shadow-across-america/
When I posted about that last April, my comment was:
The timing of Joel 2:31 is AT LEAST 2 1/2 YEARS AFTER THE START OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION. Mark Biltz has a history of false prophetic interpretations and I have denounced him for his views on this April 8th eclipse and several of his previous errors related to blood moons (see Biltz: Judgment of USA begins with solar eclipse April 8, 2024; Billinglesy: Jesus will be on earth in 2029; COGwriter: Accept God’s criteria for a prophet).
So, no, nothing of massive significance happened after the “Great American Eclipse of 2024.”
And then there was Michael Snyder. Although he is not prone to make the same type of false statements and predictions that Mark Biltz did, Michael Snyder has a tendency to misunderstand many aspects of Bible prophecy as well as to point to matters that are not significant, suggesting that they are. Related to the April solar eclipse, he posted the following:
Have You Heard About The 2 Gigantic Crosses That Stand At The Intersections Of The Eclipses?
April 4, 2024
Something truly extraordinary is going to happen as the Great American Eclipse of 2024 passes over the United States, and hardly anyone is talking about it. …
A 111 foot tall cross stands where the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will intersect with the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2017 on April 8th.
And a cross that is 77 feet and 7 inches tall stands where the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will intersect with the path of the “ring of fire” solar eclipse of 2023 on April 8th.
Is it just a coincidence that 2 giant crosses stand at the intersections of these eclipses?
I don’t think so.
I believe that only God could have orchestrated this. …
Ultimately, I am entirely convinced that the Great American Eclipse of 2024 is meant to point us to Jesus and the cross, but the vast majority of the population seems to be completely missing that point. https://endoftheamericandream.com/have-you-heard-about-the-2-gigantic-crosses-that-stand-at-the-intersections-of-the-eclipses/
Related to that, last April I posted:
First of all, no I do not believe that God orchestrated this eclipse so it would intersect with those crosses nor “that the Great American Eclipse of 2024 is meant to point us to Jesus and the cross.”
Among other reasons, the cross is not a true Christian symbol–it was not used by early Christians–but something adopted from paganism that became popular during and after the reign of the sun-worshiping Emperor Constantine in the 4th century (see also What is the Origin of the Cross as a Claimed ‘Christian’ Symbol?).
Secondly, let me add that I denounced Mark Biltz’s views about the 2017 eclipse back in 2017 (see Mark Biltz on the approaching Asteroid Apophis and the August 21, 2017 solar eclipse).
Thirdly, let’s look at the BIBLICAL prophecies related to the sun being darkened in the end times:
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matthew 24:29-31)
12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.(Revelation 6:12)
Notice that both accounts are of something that takes place AFTER the Great Tribulation (which is the fifth seal in Revelation).
That said, events occur around the world every day and there could be a major one tomorrow. But it is not as Mark Biltz or Michael Snyder seem to think.
The solar eclipse of October 2, 2024 is simply a natural phenomenon.
Do not be caught up in any hype about it.
Instead of worrying about the “ring of fire” eclipse, Michael Snyder, along with everyone else, you should keep the Feast of Trumpets, which the Jews later named Rosh Hashanah and understand what that means.
God’s Holy Days mean a lot more than any solar eclipse.

Blood Moons, Eclipses, and Prophecy There were four ‘blood moons’ expected in 2014 and 2015. Some claimed that they signaled the Day of the Lord or the return of Jesus Christ. I denounced that view in advance. Some claimed an eclipse in 2017 signaled the end, a “super blue blood moon” in 2018 was a divine warning, as was a ‘super wolf blood moon in 2019: Is that true?

Some claim that it is apocalyptic and they will be raptured then. Mark Biltz, of ‘blood moon’ fame, citing Genesis 1:14, says this is a sign of God for national repentance. Is it? Could Jeremiah 10:2 apply here? Mark Biltz and others tie this August 2017 solar eclipse in with Revelation 12–is that possible? Is there any solar eclipse associated with the Apocalypse? If so, when is the soonest that prophecy can be fulfilled? Going through biblical passages, including the words of Jesus, Dr. Thiel provides answer to those questions.

One prophecy watcher has stated that this planet will destroy Planet Earth by January 1, 2017. Is this possible? While the Bible tells of a destructive power called ‘Wormwood’ will come from outer space to destroy much of the Earth in Revelation 8, can Wormwood hit by 2017? Dr. Thiel explains from the Bible why Wormwood could be a comet and why the Bible and not those who misinterpret it should be trusted. This is a video.
