Guessing game: Sun’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic and unpredicatable

  

HOW’S THE WEATHER? “Lately, the Sun has been behaving a bit strangely,” declare Lika Guhathakurtha (NASA) and Dan Baker (U. Colorado) on the opinions page of yesterday’s New York Times. In 2008-2009, solar activity plunged to a hundred-year low; and now that the sun is waking up again, no one is able to predict what will happen next. “Will solar activity continue to be sluggish, or will solar storms return with pent-up vigor?” they ask. -Space Weather

What the Bible says about the Sun in the last days: There are two scriptures in the Bible, in the book of Revelation in particular, that offers some semblance of a warning that the Sun will behave with unprecedented rage in the last days. If we are indeed in the last days as the Bible describes them; the Sun will do anything but go quietly into that good night as solar astrophysicists are now predicting. The first prophecy says: “And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the Sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with a great heat.” Revelation 16:8,9. The last scripture talks about a special number of the redeemed who will go through a great tribulation on Earth and will no longer be tortured by the heat of the Sun after Christ returns: “They shall neither hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; neither shall the Sun light on them, nor any heat.” Revelation 7:16. The fact that the Bible even mentions the Sun in this last scripture is due to the emphasis placed on its behavior.

Hopi Prophecies: “This is the Sixth sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the Sun. This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it…And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease. These are the Signs that great destruction is coming. The world shall rock to and fro. The white man will battle against other people in other lands — with those who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts not far from here. Only those which come will cause disease and a great dying.” –Hopi signs

  Mohawk Prophecy of the Seventh Generation: According to the prophecy of the Seventh Generation, seven generations after contact with the Europeans the Onkwehonwe would see the day when the elm trees would die. The prophecy said that strange animals would be born deformed and without the proper limbs. Huge stone monsters would tear open the face of the earth. The rivers would burn. The air would burn the eyes of man. According to the prophecy of the Seventh Generation the Onkwehonwe would see the time when the birds would fall from the sky. The fish would die in the water. And man would grow ashamed of the way that he had treated his Mother and Provider, the Earth.
