The Future of the Universe
1. The Science of the Total Solar Eclipse
There are several areas of interest in the science of the Eclipse. Understand the sun, the earth, and the
universe. Understand the motion of the
sun, earth, moon, and stars: this is
called ‘celestial mechanics’.
Think of the plane of the planets revolving around the sun, looking
down such that the planets move around the sun in counterclockwise
direction. The Earth rotates in a
counterclockwise direction, and the moon revolves around the Earth in a
counterclockwise direction.
ECLIPSE: ‘Lynnette’s
Observation’ coining a new term, if it is new: Looking down on the solar plane, the Earth
rotates counter-clockwise and the East coast sees the sun three hours before
the West coast. Hence, you expect the ‘path of totality’ to move from East to
West, as the Earth rotates. This is how
it will be in seven years moving from Maine to Texas in 2024. However, as you
know, it went from Oregon to SC here in 2017.
Lynnette observes the ‘solar solstice’ is half way between April 8 and
August 21.
ECLIPSE: ‘Charlie’s
Observation’ We wanted to
‘lead the pack’ coming up from Utah to Idaho Falls and so started driving at
4:48am. Crossing the border before sunrise, still dark, we observed the
crescent moon (just a sliver) with tips at 5 and 10 on the face of the
moon. The left tip pointed directly at
the morning planet/star and I thought of the Islamic symbol. I’m sure you saw this too. This was the day before ECLIPSE, on August 20th.
After totality on August 21st, we could see the planets Venus to the
upper-right and Jupiter at lower-left.
2. The Nation coming together in observance
With all the coverage by all media, the nation found relief from the
hate from Democrats and associated hate groups.
Even the Trump distractors jumped onboard for the nation to come
together. Those in the path of totality
were blessed, and many drove to join them.
Many made it a family event since it is so rare to have a solar eclipse
covering all of America.
3. The Deeper Religious Meaning
Here are some words believed by both the Jewish
community and the Christian community, from Genesis on the Creation: Genesis Chapter One, Verses 14-16
14 ¶ 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:
15 And
let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the
earth: and it was so.
16 And
God made two great lights; the greater light
to rule the day, and the
lesser light to rule the night: he
made the stars also.
4. The Future of Mankind/Earth/Universe
The Creator is in control and the timeline is set. With the Second Coming, mankind, the human
family, moves to the next part of Eternity.
Also, the Earth moves from its orbit, closer to Kolob. We can ponder and discuss this further. “Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have Eternal Life: …”
