I'm getting tired of seeing random stuff online and on videos where some wanna be prophets are claiming that the April 8 solar eclipse in the US is a sign from God and a warning of the end of the age.

For one simple reason that logic dictates: Astronomers have accurately calculated solar eclipse occurrences going DECADES, and doing so for hundreds of years prior.

MANY normies - MANY scam artists - MANY small brained common people - seem to believe that only in the recent past was this eclipse known AND that its appearance is a *reaction* to events on earth.

The solar system is a big clock movement. The bodies in the solar system behavior predictably. PERIOD.

Lastly the eclipse starts in the south pacific and ends in the north atlantic above Newfoundland. It affects a slice of the western hemisphere for a few hours, not the entire planet.

Nobody seems to get this. The idiot prophet types churning out Youtube videos are claiming that this is a sign, that passing over several towns named Nineveh is a sign, etc. This is CELESTIAL MECHANICS.

IT HAPPENS, MORONS. ON A FUCKING TIMETABLE KNOWN DECADES BEFORE DOWN TO THE MINUTE.

Uninformed science illiterate dolts online are acting like the eclipse was just announced and was not known before the last few months. Jesus!

If anything DOES happen during the eclipse that is biblically profound it may be a sign from God but again the eclipse was known. The eclipse itself is NOT a "sign appearing" out of the blue as so many/most appear to think.

It is conceivable, if you have a eschatological (end times) mentality, that the April 8 eclipse was "God's Egg Timer" set to go "ding" right before things collapse. That is conceivable. But then we would have known a hundred years ago that on 4/8/24 this eclipse over several "Ninevehs" may have been that humanity "egg timer."

And secondly, if something DOES happen in the US particularly during the eclipse that amounts to mass casualties I will totally assume that our evil government is behind it. As it was the Nordstream pipeline blowup and the Crocus concert massacre in Moscow. Our government is full of shit.

People are so unaware of anything about astronomy that they'll believe many of the crazy stories being pushed right now. There is nothing supernatural about an eclipse at all, but scammers are gonna scam the ill-informed and they'll fall for it.

I heard the Nineveh cities story. You could really make up your own prophecy with this eclipse and someone will believe you. I think most people would rather hear the stories than the plain truth about eclipses. Its more fun for them that way.
