Eclipses, events and earthquakes?

Job 38:31-33
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

In the book of Job God is taking Job to task concerning his attitude of his miseries. In the passage above God is lecturing Job about the stars, the constellations. Many a time I have read this and did not give it a second thought. However, in the light of the upcoming solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, it takes on more meaning. Mazzaroth has been interpreted as zodiac. Therefore, it seems that God is schooling Job on astrology of all things. However, as modern day Christians, we are taught not to use divination and astrology. Therefore, God must be teaching something deeper. I am not proposing I know what that is. But we are to be educated on the mysteries of the constellations. We know that they speak of the Messiah which the magi understood as they searched for the baby Jesus.

The last solar eclipse the crossed the entire continent of the United States happened June 8, 1918. World War I ended on November 11, 1918. A solar eclipse crossed Europe on August 21, 1914 running through Belarus and Ukraine. Sarajevo, Bosnia (where the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated) is 700 miles away from the transit of the eclipse.

So I am not saying that the upcoming eclipse is a harbinger of world war. But we are in a time of saber rattling in many fronts.

Also to be noted is that another eclipse will cross the United States in April 8, 2024, or 6 years, 7 months, 18 days from August 21, 2017. These paths form a cross or “X” on the map of the United States. The intersection of the X is near New Madrid, MO. This is where the greatest earthquakes hit in 1811.

So, let the Lord be merciful and speak to us on what we are to be doing in these times.
