Amazing Discovery! Blood Moons Were Pointing To 9/23 All Along
The Divine Message Of The August Eclipse
On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will cross the entire contiguous United States, beginning in Oregon and ending in South Carolina. Incredibly, the eclipse will actually begin as soon as the sun rises on the West Coast (the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west, but eclipses travel in the opposite direction - see here). In other words, people will witness a black sun rising over the United States. It has also been noted that another total solar eclipse will cross the United States at an opposite angle seven years later in 2024.
Note: Before you continue reading, please realize that this is not an end of the world prediction. We actually believe the world will never end. We believe that God may be communicating a message through this eclipse about the general nearness of Christ's return.
The amount of prophetic meaning behind these eclipses is simply overwhelming and I dare not attempt to interpret it all. I'll simply share with you a few of the discoveries I and others have made and you can interpret it for yourself:
1. The August eclipse occurs exactly 33 days before the Revelation 12 Sign, beginning in the 33rd state (Oregon), and ending in South Carolina at the 33rd parallel. I've personally verified each of these details (see here, here, and here). Can you really chalk up the significance of this to pure coincidence or confirmation bias? It's been noted that an eclipse like this hasn't happened in 99 years. That would be 3 x 33 years. What might God be communicating? One of our readers noticed Ezekiel 33:
The word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: 'When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone's life, that person's life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.' "
2. The eclipse is also exactly 40 days from Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement). "40" represents a period of testing in the Bible as can been seen in the 40 years the Israelites wandered in the wilderness and the 40 days Jesus was tested in the wilderness. This 40 day period leading up to Yom Kippur is more than random. In fact, this period of time beginning on August 21st is called the Season of Teshuvah, which in the Jewish faith is a time to get right with God before judgment falls on the Day of Atonement. In other words, repent before time is up.
3. While eclipses are not that uncommon, total solar eclipses only occur about every year and a half and often occur over the ocean rather than land. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking this eclipse is nothing out of the ordinary. Day will be turned to night all across the middle United States. It's been 99 years since a total solar eclipse crossed the entire United States and having another total solar eclipse cross the entire United States again, forming an 'X', just a few years later is perhaps unprecedented.
4. It's been noted that the United States is the wealthiest, most powerful, and most influential Gentile nation. It is also the world's ethnic melting pot and hosts a proto-world government in the form of the United Nations. Lunar eclipses (blood moons) are omens for Israel whereas solar eclipses are omens for the Gentiles. The 7 year Tribulation is also known as the Day of the LORD when God enters into judgment with the Gentile nations. The fact that two total solar eclipses, spaced seven years apart, cross the entirety of the contiguous United States, and form an 'x' over the chief Gentile nation on earth should give you pause.
5. The Tribulation (also called Daniel's 70th Week or The Time of Jacob's Trouble) is understood to be a worldwide version of the Exodus from Egypt. The plagues and Exodus were a sort of microcosm of the future Day of the LORD. The ruthless Pharaoh was a type of the antichrist, the plagues were a type of the coming worldwide trumpet and vial judgments, the Exodus was a type of both the rapture and the future Israelite remnant that will escape into the wilderness, and so forth. Even some of the minute details were types and shadows. Moses was a type of the future "male child" (Christ and the Church) that was and will be delivered from harm's way. He escaped the tribulation that his people endured when he was placed in a basket and ended up as a prince in palaces of splendor. Yet his people continued to endure tribulation and suffering until he later returned to deliver them from Egypt. Even some of the specific plagues in Egypt will be replicated on a worldwide scale during the Tribulation. As a matter of fact, there is a direct parallel in the book of Revelation to seven of the ten plagues in Egypt (see here). You could say the Tribulation is almost a "do-over" of the Exodus because the Israelites were not faithful to the end in the first instance, but at the end of the Tribulation will be faithful, saved, and delivered.
With this in mind, consider that the 'x' that will be formed over the United States rests right over a region in southern Illinois called "Little Egypt". Even more - the exact point where the two paths cross is in the town of Makanda, which used to be called the "Star of Egypt".
6. The eclipse occurs in conjunction with Regulus, the "King Star". Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo and Leo is one of the two constellations involved in the Revelation 12 Sign. The fact that this eclipse occurs in Leo, which will be part of the Great Sign the month after, is astonishing. It's like God's trying to fix our attention on the King and on the following month's Great Sign.
Also, a reader noticed that the eclipse crosses exactly 12 states and I verified the count to make sure. An eclipse across 12 states just one month before the Revelation 12 Sign that features a woman with a crown of 12 stars.
7. The first major city that will witness the eclipse is Oregon's state capital, Salem. Salem is of course the shortened version of "Jerusalem", which is the most prophetically significant city in the entire Bible. Jerusalem was originally called "Salem" in the days of Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18) who was a foreshadowing of Christ or possibly even a Christophany. If that isn't interesting enough, the closest road to the exact point where the two eclipses cross is Salem Road in Makanda, Illinois. What are the chances of that?
8. After crossing Salem, Oregon, the path of totality then crosses Madras, which means "Mother of God" (reminiscent of the Revelation 12 Woman). Then it crosses the city of John Day, which of course reminds us of the Apostle John who recorded the Book of Revelation and described to us the Day of the LORD.
After that it crosses Weiser, Idaho, which is German for "wise man". The wise men from the east were those who were watching the signs in the heavens when Jesus Christ was born. They followed His star and found the exact place where He was born. Likewise we see another sign in the heavens pointing to the nearness of Jesus' return.
The path then points us to John again as it passes over Grandjean, which is French for "Big" or "Tall" John. It then crosses Stanley, which means "stone clearing" (see Psalm 118:22, 1 Peter 2:4-7) and Mackay, which means "Son of fire" (see 1 John 4:15, Revelation 1:14, 19:12, Daniel 10:6).
Then it goes through Rexburg ("City of the King") and Victor (Matthew 12:20, 1 Corinthians 15:54-57, 1 John 5:4) and then again points us to the Apostle John as it goes through Jackson ("Son of John"). The amazing message continues as it goes right through Casper, Wyoming. "Casper" is a Chaldean name and is the traditional name assigned to the wise men/magi (see here).
The eclipse then moves through Alliance, Nebraska. An alliance is a union of multiple parties. The Church is soon to be brought into an eternal alliance with Christ when the Body is joined to the Head. Likewise, down on earth a satanic alliance will soon be forming in the form of ten horns (Revelation 17:12) and a "covenant with many" (Daniel 9:27).
Next up is Ravenna, which means "raven" and points us to the days of Noah. Noah sent forth a raven from the Ark before he sent a dove (Genesis 8:7). Also, Ravenna, Italy was where Julius Caesar gathered his forces before crossing the Rubicon. The term "crossing the Rubicon" is an idiom for saying "the die has been cast" or "past the point of no return". In other words, there's no turning back.
The meaning goes on and on and that's just a small sampling.
What have you discovered?

Has anyone seen the news about the Russian Mayak cubesat to be launched July 14th, and intended to be the brightest 'star' in the night sky?
Is it relevant?
- AnonymousJune 29, 2017 at 2:28 PMThat is Extremely interesting. Russia is launching a reflective PYRAMID into space. Even the logo itself has occult symbology in it:

- Gary dear brother, I love your remarks on the city names! Very, very interesting! How can there be any "coincidence" now? :DReply
I'd like to share a video link in addition to the topic of "33rd parallel" (and what its meaning is for the Freemasons that founded the US nation after all!):
MARANATHA, love you guys! ;-)
- Thanks, I will check it out!
- AnonymousJuly 1, 2017 at 10:44 AMAny significance - August 21 2017 all adds up to the number 3. The Trinity. Also, I live in Oregon and Salem is one of the worst heathen cities in our State.
- Also the year that we last had an eclipse of this magnitude was in 1918 and in that year was the battle of Haifa which paved the way for the victory of the British army and then to the creation of Israel 30 years later. The battle of Haifa was on...Sept 23,1918!Reply
- Creation of Israel ? I keep saying this is NOT holy land and ppl.think I'm nuts
- Not the creation of Israel. The re-birth of Israel.
- If you are not familiar with it Google the Christmas "Truce" of 1918. VERY interesting that this all happened that year, the Spirit was on the move among men and what happened along the front in the 1st Great War is amazing and rather forgotten unfortunately.
- "The virgin of Israel is fallen...there is none to raise her up...she shall no more rise" Amos 5:2 God didn't restore Israel, so who did? Why would God use the Six Pointed Star of Moloch/Saturn on Israel's Flag? Why would it be in Tekhelet Blue when the dye for the priestly attire is no longer known? Why would Jesus call Jerusalem "Spiritually, Sodom and Egypt" (Rev 11:8KJV) if He gathered Israel?
- AnonymousJune 29, 2017 at 2:14 PMThe day of 21 August of this year is the 232rd day of the year in our calendar, by the way.Reply
Also, Charleston SC is it not the home of the most important Masonic lodge in America, or the oldest? Di Rome reportedly do that Satanic 'ritual' back in the 60's via telephone to the Vatican from Charleston?

- Mormons call the spot Adam Ondi-ahman, the land where Adam and Eve were ejected from Eden; its untenable as they also teach the Mississippi River is really the Euphrates. The RLDS Church will rise as America falls from Jackson MS
- Also Mississippi River runs through Memphis Tn where a Pyrimid was erected years ago.
- Gary - the following statement you made in this article is absolutely true - "It's been 99 years since a total solar eclipse crossed the entire United States and having another total solar eclipse cross the entire United States again, forming an 'X', just a few years later is perhaps unprecedented." I researched all of the total solar eclipses across the USA since 1776 and there is nothing like this. We had a couple of total solar eclipses 9 years apart, one on Aug 7, 1869, and one on Jul 29, 1878, but they didn't cross each other.Reply
I appreciate all of your research and the integrity of your work. This is another awesome article!
- I've been wondering about this Islamic prophecy. I know very little about Islam but there is something in their books that talk about the end coming after "the sun rises in the west."Reply
"Important Islamic commentators have all interpreted this verse as above-the Sun rising in the west. In the same way they interpret the verse 9 of Surat al-Qiyama "and the sun and moon are fused together" as proof of the Sun rising in the west."
"The sun and moon are fused together"....could that be this kind of eclipse, where the sun is eclipsed when it rises? I do not ask from a sense of giving credence to their religion or prophecies, but think this is intriguing, and that perhaps they will see this as a sign.
One of the signs given by our Prophet (saas) in the Hadiths concerning the The Last Day is that the Sun will rise in the west. The Hadiths say that the end of the world will not come before this sign occurs.
It [the Day of Judgment] will not come until you see ten signs," and [in this connection] he mentioned the smoke, the Dajjal, the Beast, the rising of the SUN FROM THE WEST, the descent of Jesus son of Mary…(Sahih Muslim)
"THE LAST DAY WILL NOT COME UNTIL THE SUN RISES FROM WHERE IT SETS. When people see it, people on earth have faith." (Sunan Ibn Majah, volume 9, p. 4362)
Important Islamic commentators have all interpreted this verse as above-the Sun rising in the west. In the same way they interpret the verse 9 of Surat al-Qiyama "and the sun and moon are fused together" as proof of the Sun rising in the west.
- AnonymousJune 29, 2017 at 9:23 PMGet Islam out of your mind, not even for one second. It is false and it has nothing to offer anyone about anything. It is simply a means to an end, and will be finally destroyed at Gog and Magog's War.
- AnonymousJune 30, 2017 at 8:58 PMAnonymous..i don't think the OP was giving credit to Islam, merely pointing out they may see it as a sign on their end, even though it is false that they will interpret it to further their cause. It is clear the devil tries to mimic God and he is doing it here maybe. The person agrees it is a false religion
- AnonymousJuly 1, 2017 at 11:10 AMObama's 1st term logo depicts a sun rising...in the west. Obama (a muslim since his birth father was muslim so by birth he himself is one (patriarchical), unless he converted...unlikely). Thus, he was telling the muslim world that a sun (himself) will be/was rising to power in the west (i.e. western world or US). His claim or statement of being a born-again is false, everyone knows that for him to be elected he would have to say such things. Like many logos and symbols, it's there hiding in plain sight. Obama has a part in unifying the muslim caliphate against Israel/ maybe even the beast system...TBD
- @Anonymous June 30, 2017 at 8:58 PM ...Precisely. Thank you so much.
- AnonymousJuly 1, 2017 at 7:28 PMHillary, Anonymous,
He might as well have quoted some Hindu Rig Veda scripture, that was my point. Again, Islam has nothing to do with anything, even if he agrees it is false. Its scripture has no bearing on anything, most of all on a website that proclaims the on true God. How can anything from that religion be used to help us validate or strengthen what we already know?
And now the obligatory reference to the Clown Prince Obama? What does he have to do with an eclipse or end of days scenarios? Islam is not any beast system. This is a fashion, a trend, the current rage.
I too see Mary and Joseph on my toast this morning.
- AnonymousJuly 3, 2017 at 9:54 PMWhy couldn't islam be the beast system? It's beheading the saints, it's got a false prophet, and the inshallah is worn on the forehead and the right arm, and the jizya tax prevents buying or selling. 4\4
Mecca sits on seven Mountains. Rome sits on seven hills. It was wounded when the Ottoman Empire fell, but has spread like locusts since then.
Truth is ever revealing as the time comes nearer. Lots of people missed their Messiah because they thought he was born in Nazareth, not realizing he was born in Bethlehem.
Rico Cortes has a great series on this.
- AnonymousJune 29, 2017 at 7:07 PMDon't overlook that the X is right on the New Madrid fault. Cannot help but wonder if our nation will one day, after we are harpazoed, be split in two by a massive quake for our role in dividing Jerusalem. Just "blogging" out loud.Reply
- AnonymousJune 29, 2017 at 9:34 PMNot only for dividing that land, but for every other horror this country is guilty of lately....beginning with that quisling who painted our White House in 'rainbow' colors two years ago.
- Great article Gary! It is interesting that in Jewish tradition, solar eclipses portend judgment on the nations......certainly America will not escape the coming judgment, and is lining up to play a major role in a potential agreement to divide the Land....not good!Reply
It is also interesting that the second eclipse in April 2024 is one month prior to the potential sign of the 7 angels and plagues, and right before the 5 months of torment of Revelation...
- AnonymousJuly 4, 2017 at 11:44 AMHow is it connected to the sign of the 7 angels?
- A couple things about this Eclipse:Reply
At one point it will look like a Wedding Ring.
As someone posted above the two make an X above the New Madrid fault line.
Weather permitting, I will be able to see it right above my head in Sparta, TN at 1:31pm Central time.
- you live in Sparta? I'm in Livingston
- Interesting article, thank you for posting. I think there is more to this than just a "coincidence," but why are Christians so up in arms fighting about whether these are true signs or not? Wish others would be wanting to know this too! Oh well, all too soon we will know what it all means.Reply
- Forgive me if I missed this above but the eclipse will be right next to Regulus in Leo. Everyone looking at the eclipse will see Regulus immediately adjacent. It's as if God is saying look at my Son.Reply
- Nice catch! I'll add it in.
- Yes, this is an important observation. The eclipse occurring right next to the major star in Leo [the Lion of the tribe of Judah]. A foreshadowing of the brightest Star to outshine them all on the day He is unveiled to the world [the Bright Morning Star - Rev. 2:28; 22:16 and The Sign of the Son of Man - Matt. 24:30].
- I apologise that observation was for Nashville, I'm not in front of Stellarium can someone see if this holds true for other cities during the eclipse.Reply
- Pastor R A Coombes wrote the book "America the Babylon", and without going into detail there is a country that receives double judgment from the Lord during the Tribulation period.The First Judgment is by Fire and the Second is by Water. I have read lately that a Solar eclipse happened around the time that Jonah went to Nineveh, and the people received the message, and the Lord spared them. I find it interesting that there is the "40" Day count from August 21 to Yom Kippur. The Lord sitting on His Throne and doling out Judgment. Pastor Coombes believed that the Lord will judge Mystery Babylon around this time. America is being warned everyday by Russia and Iran if we pursue in Syria they will nuke us. Yellowstone has recorded over a 1,000 earthquakes in the last week. The First Judgment by Fire at the start of the Tribulation, and approximately 7 years later approaching the end of the Tribulation, Mystery Babylon comes up in remembrance before the Lord for Double Judgment. Isn't interesting that the "X" marking the spot for the crossing Solar eclipses is literally right at the New Madrid Fault Line. Where the worse earthquakes in American history have been recorded. The Second Judgment is by Water as she sinks under the Waters. Food for Thought...Regardless, Your only hope is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4Reply
- It will be a bittersweet 4th of July this year...the real fireworks are yet to come.Reply
- AnonymousJune 29, 2017 at 10:45 PMWOW!,...tony/vt. blessings, peace...Shalom*Reply
- AnonymousJune 30, 2017 at 4:59 AMSome other interesting "coincidences":Reply
A) The "crossing" of the two eclipse occurs in Illinois, the state where BHO starts his political career....
B) If you go to google maps and zoom around the crossing point, you see some lakes surrounding the crossing point near Cedar Lake.
All surrounding lakes appear sort of stylized dragons looking or running to the crossing point.
Blessings in Yeshua
- Regarding Your interest in coincidences, I have leaned to observe them "As GOD incidences". FYI
- In the Isaiah's prophecy about Babylon (Isaiah 13) he mentions about "the sun darkened in its going forth", that is the same as this solar eclipse. I believe that USA is the "materialistic" Babylon (wealth and towers) and the number 13 is the prophetic number of the US (13 colonies, etc.)Reply
There is also interesting verse 13 or this chapter. The LORD said "I will shake the heavens, and the earth will move out of her place..." This shaking and moving clearly point outs to the major earthquake.
- AnonymousJune 30, 2017 at 5:20 AMWhat do you think is going to happen? Financial ruin, the end of the western world? Massive depopulation as a result?Reply
The things I have found suggest that this is a possibility.
- The large earthquake of the past on the New Madrid caused the Mississippi River to run backwards 2 times I believe. This next possible quake could divide the USA in half and knock out all bridges crossing the river. We are already a nation divided politically and racially. Jesus said a nation divided against itself cannot stand. If we divide Israel guess what!Reply
- The seven days between the Feast of Trumpets and Yom Kippur are known as the "Days of Awe" (Yomin Noraim) or the terrible days. These seven days represent the seven year tribulation. The rapture occurs on the Feast of Trumpets, then begins the seven year tribulation, and then the second coming, seven years later on Yom Kippur!Reply
- AnonymousJuly 3, 2017 at 1:27 PMWow.....!
- AnonymousJune 30, 2017 at 8:22 AMThe Great American Eclipse August 21, 2017,a warning? 33 days later The Revelation 12 Sign. Perhaps another warning from Ezekiel 33?Reply
'But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.' Ezekiel 33:6
- Now that is interesting! Very interesting!
- Nice catch. Added that in to #1.

What of this eclipse traversing 12 states? The 12th chapter of Revelation and 12 disciples.
- Awesome that you spotted that. Just added it to #6.
- AnonymousJune 30, 2017 at 10:37 AMI've felt for a while that August will be significant but I haven't been able to find anything besides the eclipse. I wonder if something will happen to the US between the eclipse and the rapture that we'll be here for. Maybe it's time to stock up on water and food just in case and if we're not here for it then hopefully someone else will find it and be able to use it.Reply

- I found it interesting that the width of the eclipse path is 70 miles wide. Especially considering it's been 70 years since the UN resolution in 1947 that allowed for the formation of the Jewish state of Israel.Reply
Regarding the above:
"For the 2017 eclipse, there is a strip of land about 70 miles wide or so (called the 'path of totality') that stretches from central Oregon through South Carolina." (Found on www.eclipse2017.org)
"About 220 million folks live within one day's drive of the totality path. That 70-mile-wide (113 kilometers) path extends from the coast of Oregon through Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina." (Found on: www.heavenlysign2017.com)
- Also interesting since this eclipse seems to be a forewarning of the upcoming tribulation (also called Daniel's 70th Week).
- Scripture does not describe a 7 Yr Tribulation; only a 1260 Day 3 1/2 Yr Great Tribulation. It's a Private Interpretation of Daniel 9:27 to arrive at this conclusion.
- Eclipse expert Jay Pasachoff, an astronomer at Williams College in Massachusetts writes:Reply
"In addition, the Aug. 21 event will be the first-ever solar eclipse whose path of totality hits no country other than the United States. (The last one to meet this geographical standard occurred before the nation gained its independence in 1776.)" [found at www.heavenlysign2017.com]
-It would appear that whatever the message God is giving with this solar eclipse - it is strongly intended for us here in the U.S.
- Brilliant post. Two months ago, God revealed to me the interpretation of the Aug. 21 eclipse: The "handwriting is on the wall." Judgment is coming for America, who has become "Mystery Babylon,.Reply
- AnonymousJuly 1, 2017 at 7:36 PMHow did He reveal this to you?
- By revelation from the Holy Spirit. Does not the New Testament say that when you receive the Holy Spirit, the same Holy Spirit will tell you of "things to come and will lead you (believers in the Lord Jesus Christ) into all truth"? The Holy Spirit is our teacher, counselor and revealer of truth. DId not the Holy Spirit reveal to Anna and Simeon that the child brought into the temple by Mary and Joseph was the Messiah and that before they died they would see this promise come to pass? Part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to reveal certain events of the future to a believer who believes this truth. Does not The Word of God say that He will do nothing before He reveals it to His servants the Prophets? The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, both to Old Testament believers and New Testament as well. So, why would it be so incredible for me to say that the interpretation of the Great American Eclipse was revealed to me by the Holy Spirit as "the handwriting is on the wall, your kingdom is divided", which are the same words spoken by God in the book of Daniel to Nebuchanezzar's Grandson for their brazenness in drinking from the Holy vessels of God of Israel without having any regard for their celebration of their wickedness or any fear of the God they were offending as imposters standing as worthy recipients of these Holy vessels devoted to the worship of the One True God. America has done the same thing today, reaping all the benefits of the blessings of God bestowed on a nation that at one time owed all to the God who made them that nation and now who want to throw God out of every aspect of life in America. When God says time is up, then it remains for us, as believers, to be in agreement with Him, for He is perfectly just and fair, not willing that any should perish, but at the same time, we are admonished to remember the goodness and the severity of God. I bow before Him, leaning not to my own understanding, in all my ways acknowledging Him, knowing He will direct my path. Maranatha.

- Witchcraft is Babylon; Initiated Secret Societies the Tower of Babel. Babel means Gate of El; El is the Phoenician version of Saturn/Satan, seen in Babylon "Bate of On" where Osiris is also Saturn. America is only the Scapegoat for Babylon much like the Catholic church is the Scapegoat for MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT; MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS UPON THE EARTH This is so the world will accept the rule of Antichrist (Alternative Messiah), the Scapegoats for Rev 17, 18 and 19 are all in place

- AnonymousJuly 1, 2017 at 8:39 AMI had a dream last night, I saw small fires popping up over some hills as I was looking back, I saw smoke rising in several places. I became somewhat alarmed and wanted to leave. I was telling people we need to leave but there was no urgency from others. The fires began to explode and people began panicking and trying to leave. It seemed to me I was somewhere with only one exit as the road was packed with vehicles trying to get away.Reply
Suddenly a river of water came rushing toward us destroying everything in its path, literally ripping roads apart like they were make of paper. It destroyed everything leaving a rushing gorge of water moving in every direction. I felt total peace as I saw a wall of water overtaking my car. It was like being a surfer looking at a monstrous wave approaching. I remember vividly saying "Jesus forgive me, Jesus I love you and Jesus protect my children." 8 immediately woke up.
I have never had a prophetic dream...that I know of... i do not know if this was one but I have been feeling for some time that things are rapidly accelerating and we are moving toward a point of no return.
I feel an urgency to warn people and am amazed that people seem so complacent including Christians, most seem cluless and do not want to acknowledge something is coming! It breaks my heart. I pray the Lord will shake this country so people WAKE UP before He pours out his judgement!
P.S. I live in Missouri and wonder if my dream was a picture of what will happen if the New Madrid splits this country in two! Maranantha!

I also saw or heard a voice poining me to ACTS 2:17-22 and Revelations 12. Understand this was about 3 months ago at that time God placed on my heart a urgency to tell about these 2 scriptures. So this is what I have been doing but like you most don't seem to care or think I am crazy. After reading and doing research I realize that God was telling me to go out and spread the good word if Jesus before its too late to go reap the fields there are still some that want the Lord in their life. I also know that end is coming. I don't know exact dates or times but I do know that Jesus is coming to collect his bride (rapture). This is not the judgement coming which is to occure after Jacobs trouble. This is what I know by the Holy Spirit. Amen
- AnonymousJuly 11, 2017 at 2:05 AMI had a vision 10 years ago that lasted 3 days - was with me everywhere I went, all day long - of total destruction. Huge wave, fires, explosions, highways totally torn and in shambles.
In 2015 my then 3 y old son started telling me of Jesus return without any exposure to Christianity. In 2016 I had a personal revelation, supernatural encounter, with God that totally set me straight and revealed His truth in full.
This past winter my son had several dreams of a "hot black lava explosion and then Jesus comes to get us". Just today he drew me a picture of huge waves, a clock with "Jesus is coming" and over ten exclamation marks. He explained that the waves are over buildings and cars and that there is also fire in the water.
- David MorrisJuly 1, 2017 at 8:40 AMThe most important part to note with all these signs in the heavens is the fact that they are aligned to Biblical High-Sabbaths.Reply
Biblical high-Sabbaths that the christian world state are done away with, fulfilled, for the Jews, nailed to the cross etc etc etc
The fact that YHVH, our God aligns events to His (eternally commanded) High Sabbaths yet christians (wrongly) believe they no longer are valid, should raise concern in all christian churches as to why they should return to His "Law of Moses" to walk by
The same "Law of Moses" our Messiah walked in.
The same "Law of Moses" we will be judged by
All christians should commit to repentance & consider walking the way that our example walked. As a Law abiding Jewish Messiah.
Salvation is from the Jews (John 04:22) so please consider doing it the Jewish way & walk in His "Law of Moses" as Jews have done for thousands of years....
- AnonymousJuly 1, 2017 at 3:26 PMThe Jews do not walk in the LAW of Moses. They walk in Talmudic Judaism which is adding to Torah...
- AnonymousJuly 1, 2017 at 8:15 PMYou are partly correct & partly incorrect. Just like Christians have the commentary & creeds of the 'Church fathers' & many others since, some of it complimentary & some of it antagonistic, the Jews also have their own commentary (complimentary & antagonistically), theirs going back (arguably) 3,500 years. Modern Christian theology & doctrine draws from this pool of commentary to produce the various sects (denominations) of Christendom, which whilst there are some agreement, there is also much disagreement, esp. between Roman Catholicism & Protestantism, the latter having its own subset of sects. Talmudic Judaism draws from the Tanakh, just like Christendom also draws from both the Tanakh (Old Testament) & the New Testament. One only has to go to any Christian bookshop to see Christians equivalent of the Talmud. Each has its fair share of commentary, principally focused on interpreting scripture based on each commentators perspective, learning & (perceived) insight. This is little different from the Talmud, which is also rich & deep, but like Christian commentary, is open for discussion & contention, using succinct & concise arguments to support or rebuffing of a matter. Just like not all Christians agree with a particular theology or doctrine, the same applies to Jews, hence the variations of denominations.
- AnonymousJuly 1, 2017 at 8:30 PMAs an example, Jeff Black (below) has selected a passage from Lev 12 to formulate his perspective, interpretation & possible application to pending events. There is nothing wrong with this & it may be valid, where it's validity may be argued &/or supported by readers/commentators, whether Jew or Gentile. Of course in regards to the matters of this solar eclipse, we can consider & ponder what this means & what our response should be, but we will all in short thrift find out in due course what if any of this discussion has been correctly interpreted & applied. In the interim, let's continue to reason & consider the various interpretations of current events in light of scripture, keeping in mind that, over the course of human (& religious) history, the majority of us have an extremely poor record of foresight using scripture, & wonderful 20/20 hindsight. 2,000 years ago, Jesus noted that the Jews should have foreseen His coming (& some did). Perhaps, just perhaps, the same will occur outcome will occur at His second coming, in this case, applied to Christians & Jews alike. Josiah couldn't possibly believe his God would talk to a pagan king (Neco) & it cost him his life. God even used a donkey. Perhaps a totally apparent left field comment that results in disparaging comments may very well be the pointer we all miss. Something to ponder & consider.
- Attempting to walk in the Law of the Old Covenant is an eternal death sentence; Jesus profits nothing to those who attempt this. There are no Legitimate Levite Priests, no Temple, no Ark of the Covenant, no Urim and Thummim and no Temple Veil.
- FIRST to the Jews - THEN to the Gentiles.
Paul said it best.
If you want to require the Law (circumcision) - GO ALL THE WAY and cut your dick off as well.
Jesus Christ FULFILLED THE LAW FOR ALL.
Your attempts to convert Christians into Jews is your own attempt to ADD to the work of the Cross.
It is your attempt to DIMINISH the atonement of Christ.
- In Leviticus 12 is the law concerning a woman who gives birth to a male child. After birth she shall be impure 7 days. On the 8th day the child is Circumcised. Of the shedding of unneeded flesh. Then she shall remain impure for an additional 33 days. This is the law concerning a natural physical birth. Revelation 12 sign is about a Spiritual Birth. Spiritual and Physical are opposites so the days of impurity should also be reversed. Thus the 33 days of impurity come first. The eclipse happens then 33 days to September 23. At sundown on the 23 at the moment of a twinkling of an eye the day changes to the 8th day...the shedding of unneeded flesh. Then 7 more days till Yom Kipper, the day of Atonement. Those 7 days as noted above are symbolic of the 7 years of testing.Reply

I was running around telling everyone to call on the Lord Jesus to save them but the people could not understand my words. I recall the children in my dream knew what I was saying. I was intially afraid by then more excited in a good way but frustrated about the people around me not believing me. A friend of mine had a similar dream of a wall of snow cascading down filling up our valley. She knew what was happening. The wall of snow was hot like fire...isn't this all interesting? -barbiosheepgirlReply

- blessings for all these very interesting items about 2017 eclipse.
the peak duration occurs in southern Illinois, a small area, near Makanda and Carbondale. this area has always been called Little Egypt or just Egypt. has towns called Cairo, etc.. a park is called Pyramid State Rec. Area. another is Egyptian Hills. Devil's Kitchen Lake.
this is where the best ancient Mounds have been found. Cherokees used to live here, Cherokees are Assyrian descent, and are actually Israeli Jews. the eclipse peak occurs ~1,000' from Mt Hebron Road.
this is a trillion x trillion chance.
2017 eclipse max time is 2 min 42 sec
2024 eclipse max time is 4 min 28 seconds
total time is.......... 7 min 0 seconds!!!!!!!
both eclipses occur at almost the same time of day, both on Monday!
2017 eclipse peak duration time latitude is 37 deg 34' 04.3N (corrected for lunar limb profile)
2024 eclipse peak duration time latitude is 25 deg 17' 12.4N
average is 31 deg 24' 08.4N
this is the latitude of 7 miles (11.2km) south of Hebron, Israel. the 2017 eclipse max duration is at Mt Hebron Road!
the 2024 eclipse peak duration is near the Lazas River and town of Lazas (as in Lazaras), Mexico. exactly straight north is Alliance, Nebraska, where Carhenge is.
both 2017 and 2024 eclipses cover Hawaii. both start and end at about the same longitude--amazing!
waiting for God's blessed trip to Heaven.

We need a cleanup on aisle http://www.unsealed.org/2017/06/the-divine-message-of-august-eclipse.html#comment-form
to have these kinds of cpmments removed.
As this site gets more popular, more and more people with wildly divergent/questionable views will show up and post nonsense. I'm surprised we haven't been visited yet by those street corner preacher guys who insist they are the real Hebrew Israelites
I don't mind having my views challenged, but if it's not overwhelmingly convincing and scripturally supported, I don't even want to see it. I'm always reminded that Christ warned us foremost to "not be deceived". For Christ to remind us often of that says much about the level of deception in the last days.
And unfortunately it doesn't take much to deceive people. When you consider how many people in the world already follow cults and false religions, it's easy to see how many more would be deceived into following a false version of Christianity, which we know will happen with the soon arrival of the antiChrist.

When Jesus was talking to his disciples about the 2nd Coming, he told them: Mark 13:24 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; 25 the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory."
According to the way things are lining up, this August 21, 2017 solar eclipse seems to be lining up with a possible soon catching-away of the church and also matches up with this verse: "For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine." (Is. 13:10)...Interestingly, most moons during solar eclipses are at least in a low percentage of illumination. However the 8/21/17 moon is a 0% light....a perfect New Moon. http://www.moongiant.com/phase/8/21/2017
7 years later...on the April 8, 2017 solar eclipse...once again we have a 0% illumination New Moon!
http://www.moongiant.com/phase/4/8/2024 ....which could be a perfect fulfillment for the 2nd Coming.

- There is 2423 days from one eclipse to other one the mark the big X. 2423 in Hebrew means "Beast"Reply
- stupid, the sun never moves from west to east.Reply
- No one says it does. Read the article again my friend.
" Incredibly, the eclipse will actually begin as soon as the sun rises on the West Coast (the sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west, but eclipses travel in the opposite direction - see here)."
- What would be "stupid" is to believe people on the West Coast don't experience a rising sun.
From the vantage point of someone on the West Coast the sun still appears to rise in the east (just like everywhere else). I never said anything different. I even made that clear in parenthesis. However, the shadow of solar eclipses does travel in the opposite direction (west to east).
- AnonymousJuly 7, 2017 at 12:50 PMI find it very interesting that Space X is sending an unmanned capsule called the Dragon around the moon as a test flight for the very first consumer flight to the moon scheduled for next year.

I did not know about Salem and "Little Egypt" and the prophetic significance of all the other names of towns and cities over which the eclipse will be. I googled "Little Egypt" and that town allowed slavery even though Illinois was a slave-free state. What a time to be living. Living in Christ. A time for all true believers to humble ourselves before our Awesome God and pray unceasingly for light and salvation to sweep the U.S. One last thought - the eclipse will exit SC and amazingly go across the ocean and be right over West Africa where the slaves were brought to the U.S.Reply

- The Whirpool Effect phenomenon and Beyond.Reply
In this section I will try to relate the whirlpool effect phenomenon to the laws of nature to proof that there is indeed a divine pattern to our existence that begets a Creator. I wouthld like to start with the beginning of our universe there must have been a central point in our galaxy and from that point forward it expanded to infinity. To disprove that this was not randomn act I would like to point out that there is a pattern in the design that seems to repeat itself of manifest itself as if a thumbprint of the Creator.
From our Galaxy we see that our center is around the sun with the planets revolving around it that being at the macro level. In the micro level we see this with in the shape of an atom with an electron or electrons rotating around a center. We also see this in nature with the shape of a snails shell to the shape of a sunflower and lastly in our own design in our cochlear ear thumbprint to the small "swirmpools" or "whirlpools" to keep the language consistant in peoples hair. This explained by Fibonacci sequence. QUOTE It is interesting to note that in the holy texts God says he knows every hair strand in peoples head.
To those who decent they might say well it happened randomnly without God's hand. To those who are blinded by their own reasoning then they are truly as the Quran said deaf dumb and blind. This is not geared to insult anyone but we also see this in what I belief is humanity's divine law or organized chaos. QUOTE
To explain this I will explain a phenomenon that everyone has experienced and its in the context I will intitle this the "BE" effect. The Be effect is a phenomenon where God connects two peoples thoughts and manifests its self in action such as a phone call or thinking of someone and running into them soon after. For this phenomenon to occurd it means that everything that consisted in your day as chaotic as it might be God aligned in unison to unite peoples hearts as far as longing, thinking, events and timing which only reassures the believer that there is an order and experiences God's perfect timing and being the best of plotters. This I believe is bigger then De Ja Vu and unique to our very own existence as any deviation would of made our existence none existent. This is from the perfect distance from the sun the perfect distance from the moon and our planet being the only planet that supports life.
Why the Quran and the whirlpool effect connecting the dots.
Keeping true to the BE effect and the whirlpool effect phenomenon I will try to the best of my capabilities to explain how the Quran was revealed and mohammad used as a vessel of transmission which would lead to a one of the fastest growing religion. First of all the relevation occurred in the context of the unknown being revealed in a disorganized verses that were pieced together a to an event. For this you would need to know the future, while knowing the the present time of now and knowing the cause of the events that initiated an action none could do this but a a higher being or God's guidance. This is what makes Muhammad unique of all the prophets and its miracle. Which is pretty significant.
In the Quran in Surah 2 people have discovered a term called ring composition in the verses. With a middle and like our universe as it expands from beginning to end mirrors each other and has laws addressing the people of the book. This phenomenon again occurred at randomn organized chaos coupled with the whirlpool effect. With the outer rings of relevation on opposite sides being interrelated at "randomnly" to each other. This is incredible.
- I might go a step further to suggest that just as my formula WE=Z((x)+y)) is used to not as an algebraic equation but as an attempt to descrisbe something abstract and unseen which involves a center involves a causation or a reason which is followed by an event which then extends to reach beyond our understanding but once it resonates either in someone's heart or psyche it creates mini cells or universes just like how they are many galaxies. This could be used for good or evil in terms to human behavior. This is probably to my best understanding why alim lam meen are at the beginning of some surahs. We in the English translations also how God describes His supreme power. This might just be a coincidence if you wish to keep believing that but its my theory so I use z x and y not alif lam meen but in algebra in theory used interchangeably.Reply
Going one step further in the book of relevations which is absent in the Quran, God describes that in the end of times the world would unfold like a scroll or roll up like a scrorll. If you were to look at a scroll from the side it would indeed see a whirlpool. Thus I believe that just as our universe is expanding the universe will reach a point where it will stop expanding and contract back to a focal point where that is unknown but it will occur. This may very well be judgement day where unlike the ying and yang where both evil and good exist they will be separated. Are we near the acapolyptic time is unknow but I do believe we have entered a new millinium since 2011 with the Aztec calander but they burnt the books so who knows.
The Whirlpool effect phenomenon in practice.
So Islam trys to recreate this effect in their religion. With the center being the Khabba which aligns the world with God means of prayer. This connection is a sign of mercy as God opens his doors to speak to him and connect with him throughout the day What prayer mean to you I live that up to you. It is interesting that muslims circulate the Kabbah again as a tradition which is to connect every law of existence to him in worship. I have a soft spot for Sufis but that's probably they spin in circles and have the concepts of the purification of the heart.
Speaking of the heart I believe the Quran is ment to create a spark your heart. The Quran reads peoples hearts as a spectrum at one extreme there is forgiveness on the other polar of the spectrum there's mercy. It is up to humanity though how they wish to practice and rule the land. I hate my local mosques.
Mosques and the Whirlpool effect one nation under
Think of this part a Russian doll or an onion. With x at its center the speaker, y the member z the outside walls and its effect on the community. This can be replicated for good or evil surely the devil is our enemy. This is called excitation transfer in psychology, or a chain reaction in atoms, or ripple effect in the psyche.

Forgive me if this is already found on this site but just in case it is not; a find I just made concerning the solar eclipse cycle we are preparing to witness:
This solar eclipse is a part of Saros cycle 145, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 77 events. The series started with partial solar eclipse on January 4, 1639, and reached a first annular eclipse on June 6, 1891. It was a hybrid event on June 17, 1909, and total eclipses from June 29, 1927 through September 9, 2648. The series ends at member 77 as a partial eclipse on April 17, 3009. The longest eclipse will occur on June 25, 2522, with a maximum duration of totality of 7 minutes, 12 seconds. [50] (From Wikipedia)
A quick calculation of the number of days that comprise this cycle suggests 6,570 days. I did this using the starting date of the cycle (1/4/1639) and added 18-years, 11-days to the date. This yields (1/15/1657) as the end of the first cycle and 6586-days. Looking at Strongs #6586 we see the verb "pasha" meaning, to rebel, transgress, revolt. Pasha appears 41-times in the KJV & NAS and 40-times in the HCS
I performed the calculations on the dates myself, but have not independently verified the data on the eclipse cycles so welcome further input and/or verification.
Glory to God in the highest,
Pastor Rich
- Correction: A quick calculation of the number of days that comprise this cycle suggests 6,586 days.
I really need to get some sleep as my proof-reading is beyond the beyond.
Proof-readers untie!
- Adding one more detail. NASA confirms via their FAQ site on their Eclipse 2017 website https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/faq:
"A Saros Cycle is approximately 6585.3211 days, or 18 years, 11 days, 8 hours in length. One saros period after an eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and Moon return to approximately the same relative geometry, a near straight line, and a nearly identical eclipse will occur. The Moon will have the same phase and be at the same node and the same distance from the Earth. In addition, because the saros is close to 18 years in length (about 11 days longer), Earth will be nearly the same distance from the sun, and tilted to it in nearly the same orientation (same season). Given the date of an eclipse, one saros later a nearly identical eclipse can be predicted. Each total solar eclipse track looks similar to the previous one, but is shifted by 120 degrees westward. The August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse is part of the Saros 145 series. The previous total solar eclipse in this series occurred on August 11, 1999. The next one will be on September 2, 2035. The first cycle in this series occurred on January 4, 1639, and the last one will be on April 17, 3009."
This confirms that a full cycle is NOT "6586" days but just over 6585 days being 6585.3211 days. Looking at Strong's for these entries (6585 and 3211) we see the following:
6585 "pah-sah" verb meaning "to step, march, step forward"
3211 "yah-leed" adj. meaning "born"
Thank you NASA for accurate calculations on the period of this eclipse cycle. So scrap the rough calculation offered earlier as they are inaccurate. It is still interesting that if there is an intersection of Strong's numbers and values created for these periods, that the Strong's words are "Step forward" and "born".
"Paw-sah" (go) occurs only once in KJV/NAS/HCS in (Isaiah 27:4). "Yah-leed" (born) occurs 13-times in KJV/NAS/HCS (5-times in Genesis for all).
It is easy to access the scriptural references where these are found and I invite you to seek them out if you feel so led. The simple translation of the words are interesting in themselves, but the scriptural references require proper consideration before drawing conclusions.
Glory to God in the highest!

The pink pots were originally $4.99 and the white pot was $9.99, but Michael's was running a 50% off sale and I had a 10% off total purchase coupon. Which brought the pink pots to $2.25 and the white pot to $4.50. The pink pots had a hole for drainage and the saucers were attached to the pots. The white pot also had a hole for drainage, but didn't come with a saucer (I had an extra one already). Overall, I thought these were a great deal!
I decided to plant banana peppers, jalapenos, basil, and mint with the hopes of spicy salsa, caprese salad, and mojitos for the summer! Planting the peppers and herbs was super easy. I chose to buy the seedlings rather than the seed packets since I figured there was less chance for planting error, overwatering, and neglect if I picked out something that had already gotten a good start. I also didn't feel like waiting 4-6 weeks for my crops to come in. The plants cost between $3.33-$3.68 each and I picked up a really small bag of organic potting for about $5. Since my garden is very, very small, I just used a solo cup to scoop out the dirt rather than buying trowels or gloves.
Aren't they cheerful? I love the bright pop of color that they bring to the patio and I'm going to save a good bit of money on pricey basil and mint even if I only get a few "harvests" out of them. Pre-packaged basil and mint usually cost between $3-4 at the grocery store. Even if I only get to use them twice this summer I will pretty much break even on the cost of the plant and pot.
Here's a few tips for styling your patio garden:
1. Check out craft stores for prettier and cheaper pots than you can find at Home Depot. There were no pink pots to be had at Home Depot and the cheapest fancy ceramic pot I saw was $7.
2. Take your color scheme into consideration. I love that the bits of green plants play off the pink and white outdoor rug and my outdoor entertaining servingware. Try to find pots that bring a pop of color to your patio...it may help remind you to water them and also use the plants you've so carefully planted.
3. Buy plants that you think will last on your patio. I have indirect sunlight pretty much all day long with a few hours of direct sun as well, which will be great for all my plants. I decided not to buy bell pepper or squash because we have a big tree that a squirrel could very easily crawl up and jump onto our patio to grab a tasty snack. I think it will stay away from my hot peppers...at least after the first time.
4. Go with multiple small sized pots if you don't have much space or if your available space is awkward. If you have enough space and don't want so many containers, buy one or two large sized pots and plant multiple items in them like herbs in one and peppers in another.

There were many very good portrait painters in England during Shannon's time, John Singer Sargent being the best known. Perhaps for that reason Shannon does not easily come to mind. I think that is unfortunate because he made attractive likenesses using a nice painterly touch. Take a look:
Three portraits of the Duchess of Rutland, painted at various times.
Mary was the only daughter of King George V.

People love the status quo. People love the political status quo more than anything else. It makes everyone near the top rich, secure, and unaccountable. Over the years, the political status quo perpetuated by both American major parties has been perfected to such an extent that it started benefiting fringe players as well.
Among these, perhaps the most surprising beneficiaries have been the members of the press.
It took some time, but the huge majority of political journalists and commentators got so close to the politicians and other players in the political arena that they started contributing to this status quo club even more than the politicians themselves.
This club possesses some very clear rules – always remain in unison, always go hard on anyone new and never call for any real change (phony change is okay, as Obama's proved again and again).
THE ultimate rule of this club, however, is that you do not disturb the status quo.
This way, a politician who might think about making a real change can never become more than an idealistic fool. The media soon paints him or her as something of a Don Quixote who has no place in "real" American politics.
Similarly, if a journalist, blogger or commentator starts asking tricky questions or connecting dots that shouldn't be connected, they are ostracized both by the political players and the media.
You do not disturb the status quo.
Donald Trump is someone who disturbs the status quo.
The reason why he has been able to do this so effectively is the combination of money, previous success and the downfall of the Republican Party.
He has the money that allowed him to run despite status quo proponents trying to hold him down. His previous success gave him the know-how and certain connections that allowed him to circumvent certain obstacles presented by the status quo ecosystem. Finally, the GOP, in its sorry state these last few years, made him the best candidate despite the incessant attacks from other politicians and especially the media.
Which brings us, finally, to the subject at hand – the way the media have been assailing Donald Trump for months now.
The media have actually been on the forefront of this status quo preservation from the very beginning – the moment Trump announced he would run in the Republican primaries. Various media outlets ridiculed his decision, tore down every one of his statements and tried to paint him as a fool.
Luckily, the Republican (and not only Republican) voters saw through their lies and they still nominated the only candidate who might disband this merry little club and do something to help the Average American.
However, it wasn't until Trump was announced as the Republican nominee in the 2016 Presidential Election that the gates of media hell really flung open. At that moment, it became obvious just how much the media love the status quo.
In case you haven't figured it out for yourself, the honorary members of the status quo club have been the members of the Obama-Clinton Clique who have been driving this country into the ground for the last 8 years.
It is, therefore, no wonder that the media have been doing everything in their power to keep this same clique on top by favoring Hillary.
These days, they are trying to construct this reality in which Donald Trump supposedly called for violence toward Hillary Clinton in his speech in North Carolina.
He said the following, and this is a quote:
"Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick — if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know."
Nowhere in these three sentences is there a suggestion of violence. He simply stated that people who are serious about upholding the Second Amendment should exercise their political power as the citizens of this country and vote against Hillary Clinton.
The only way someone can conceivably mistake this for a call for violence is if this someone believes that the people who support the Second Amendment are inherently incapable of anything else but violence.
This says much more about this someone than it does about the people Donald Trump addressed in his speech.
However, do a bit of research online, try to find a few publications that may have been respected decades ago and you will find the same thing repeated over and over again – Donald Trump wants people with guns to kill Hillary Clinton.
That is the kind of media onslaught that one can expect when they try to disturb the status quo.
You do not disturb the status quo!

LITTLE ROCK — A legislative panel removed a 2 percent cost-of-living increase for judges and prosecutors from an appropriation bill before recommending it Wednesday.
The pay hike had been recommended by the governor's office and the interim Joint Budget Committee in December.
During a meeting of the Joint Budget Committee on Wednesday, Sen. Johnny Key, R-Mountain Home, asked that the pay increase be removed, saying that doing so would make it easier later in the session for lawmakers to consider cost-of-living increases for all state employees.
Sen. Larry Teague, R-Nashville, co-chairman of the committee, urged support of Key's request.
"This is early in the game and nobody wants to deal with this today," he said.
House Bill 1024, the General Appropriation Bill, could be considered in the House as early as Thursday.
The $39.1 million measure routinely is the first legislation passed during a legislative session. The legislation sets the funding level for constitutional officers, judges, prosecutors and legislators.
Sen. Bruce Maloch, D-Magnolia, told lawmakers before the vote that constitutional officers, judges, prosecutors and legislators have not had a pay increase since 2010.
"My sense is that members want to have a broad discussion on many different topics and I think the COLA is one," said Duncan Baird, R-Lowell, co-chairman of the committee. "If you start passing out things with COLAs I think individuals may feel like it takes away from that broader discussion."
The measure now heads to the House.

Limitless was my favorite movie last year. For those of you who missed it, Bradley Cooper used his chemically enhanced super-brain to conquer the stock market, his landlady, and the Russian mob. He even learned to fight like Bruce Lee… by, like, osmosis or something. Wow! Obviously, after the movie I stayed up all night researching where we stand in the quest to find a 'genius pill.' Here's what I learned:
- NZT doesn't exist. (Damn!)
- but… not for lack of trying! And we're making progress.
The search for cognitive enhancers has been going on for decades (having begun, no doubt, approximately three hours after the invention of the dunce cap). By one report, the Pentagon spends $20 million per year exploring ways to "expand available memory" and to build "sleep-resistant circuitry" in the brain13 …and that sounds low to me, considering the potential payoff. In any event, the hunt has not been fruitless! A number of supplements have been found to improve various parameters of cognitive function. We refer to these as nootropics. Some say that piracetam was the first nootropic drug, and it is true that the concept and definition of a "nootropic" was first proposed in 1972 by C.E. Guirgea, the principal piracetam researcher for UCB Pharmaceutical Company of Belgium. He coined the term from the Greek words "noos" (mind) and "tropein" (to turn or to change), to mean enhancement of learning and memory. Awkward, in my opinion; most of you will prefer the term "smart drug." The main features defining a nootropic drug are:
- The enhancement of learning and memory, as well as enhanced resistance of learned behaviors to agents that tend to impair them
- Protection of brain function against various physical or chemical injuries
- Facilitation of interhemispheric flow of information
- Absence of the usual negative pharmacologic effects of psychotropic drugs
The chart below shows most of the major players:
When I worked at PhysioAge Medical Group, we designed the PhysioAge NeuroPacks to include five of the supplements on this chart: acetyl-l-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid, vinpocetine, phosphatidylserine, and ginkgo. We also included a specialized preparation of curcumin. Though curcumin is not a nootropic, it is probably the best anti-Alzheimer's supplement available (assuming you use a formulation that is well-absorbed). Our goals are preventative as well as nootropic, and thus including curcumin was an easy decision. As always, it's not just the ingredient that matters, but the source:
- We used a particular form of PS, from Enzymotec. Unlike soy-based PS, Enzymotec's PS is complexed with DHA to improve incorporation into cell membranes. They have a number of small human trials showing efficacy in improving cognitive function.
- Our alpha lipoic acid is from GeroNova Research, because they have human pK studies proving better absorption than any other brand.
- We chose Longvida brand curcumin. For an extensive review of why I think Longvida is currently the only brand of curcumin worth using for brain health, see my blog post on curcumin.
Clearly there are a number of conversations worth having with regard to nootropics (raw material for future posts!), but for now let's start with a look at vinpocetine. Two points stand out from the chart above:
- Vinpocetine's "niche" is in improving cerebral blood flow, oxygenation and metabolism (meaning glucose consumption), and it is the only supplement on the list that affects all three of those. This is why it has been studied for the treatment of vascular dementia.
- Vinpocetine affects more of the relevant mechanisms than any other supplement on the list– so if you are going to try a brain supplement, it's a great place to start. Also note: it does not affect Dopamine, Serotonin or Acetylcholine, which may be why it is so well-tolerated in human studies.
Why am I so interested in vinpocetine? Take a look at the two positron emission tomography (PET) scans below:
As you can see, our brains lose the ability to metabolize glucose and efficiently maintain energy levels as we age. Vinpocetine is remarkable in that it can counteract this in two ways: it increases blood flow in certain regions of the brain, and it increases the brain's metabolism of glucose. Vinpocetine was first synthesized in the late 1960s, extracted from the leaf of the lesser periwinkle plant. It was made available under the trade name Cavinton in 1978, and has been used widely since then in Japan, Hungary, Germany, Poland, and Russia, for the treatment of cerebrovascular-related pathologies.
Taking a supplement through its' paces: my checklist
One of the themes I frequently harp on regarding supplements is: How do you know that what you're taking is being absorbed?? When it comes to vinpocetine, that question has been quite elegantly answered. Using radioactively labeled vinpocetine (which can then be tracked in the body), researchers have shown that vinpocetine crosses the blood-brain barrier and is taken up by cerebral tissue.1,2 In humans, vinpocetine is preferentially absorbed in the central nervous system at twice the level that would be expected according to total body distribution.3 (In other words, our brains seem quite fond of the stuff.) For the neurologists among you, the highest uptake of vinpocetine is seen in the thalamus, putamen, and neocortical regions:
Radioactivity uptake and distribution in the brain were demonstrable from the tenth minute after the oral administration of the labelled drug. Brain distribution was heterogeneous (with preferences in the thalamus, basal ganglia and occipital cortex), similar to the distribution previously reported by the authors after intravenous administration.
CONCLUSIONS: Vinpocetine, administered orally to human volunteers, readily entered the bloodstream from the stomach and the gastrointestinal tract and thereafter passed the blood-brain barrier and entered the brain. Orv Hetil. 2003 Nov 16;144(46):2271-6. [Article in Hungarian] [/dropdown_box] So: we know it is taken up in the brain. What does it do once it gets there? As it turns out, it has a number of interesting effects:
Effects on blood flow Vinpocetine lowers blood viscosity,4 dilates blood vessels,5 decreases platelet aggregation,6 and increases and maintains red blood cell flexibility under oxidative stress,7 all of which are potentially beneficial in cerebrovascular disease. Amazingly, vinpocetine is able to selectively increase cerebral blood flow, and also increases your brain's metabolic rate.8,9 Here is a study looking at cerebral perfusion in stroke patients after Vinpocetine: 43 patients with ischemic stroke were randomized into vinpocetine or placebo groups in a double blind, placebo-controlled study of the effect of a single-dose i.v. infusion of vinpocetine on cerebral blood perfusion and oxygenation.
CONCLUSION: Vinpocetine increases cerebral perfusion as well as parenchymal oxygen extraction.
Vinpocetine increases cerebral blood flow and oxygenation in stroke patients: a near infrared spectroscopy and transcranial Doppler study. Eur J Ultrasound. 2002 Jun;15(1-2):85-91.
Unlike curcumin, vinpocetine is probably not of great benefit in Alzheimer's disease– but studies like the one above suggest that it could certainly help in vascular dementia (which is caused by the cumulative effect of small strokes and poor circulation). So: does this improved blood flow and metabolism provide clinically beneficial results? Are there any controlled clinical trials?
Luckily, vinpocetine has been prescribed for decades outside of the U.S. (trade name Cavinton), so there are a number of double-blind, placebo-controlled, human clinical trials we can look at: In the following two studies of older adults with memory problems due to poor brain circulation or dementia, oral vinpocetine produced significant improvement in performance on cognitive tests reflecting attention, concentration, and memory: Back in the early '90s, two hundred and three patients were included in a placebo-controlled, randomized double-blind, multicentre trial. Every day for 16 weeks they received (by mouth) either 10mg of vinpocetine, 20mg of vinpocetine, or placebo, three times a day. Patients were assessed on ratings of clinical global impression, cognitive performance and on quality of life measures including depressive illness.
Significant improvements were found [with] vinpocetine [but not with placebo] in both Global Improvement and cognitive performance. Vinpocetine was also superior to placebo in ratings of the severity of illness. This study demonstrates the usefulness and efficacy of vinpocetine in the management of patients with moderate organic psychosyndromes.
Efficacy and tolerance of vinpocetine in ambulant patients suffering from mild to moderate organic psychosyndromes. Int Clin Psychopharmacol. 1991 Spring;6(1):31-43.
In another double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, forty-two patients received 10 mg vinpocetine three times a day for 30 days, then 5 mg for 60 days. Matching placebo tablets were given to another 42 patients for the 90 day trial period.
Patients on vinpocetine scored consistently better in all evaluations of the effectiveness of treatment including measurements on the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale, the Sandoz Clinical Assessment-Geriatric (SCAG) scale, and the Mini-Mental Status Questionnaire (MMSQ). There were no serious side effects related to treatment.

Can younger people use it as part of a preventive regimen? My intention is to use the NeuroPack in patients who have not yet experienced significant decline, as either a nootropic or a preventative; thus I was gratified to find this small study using healthy young pre-menopausal women, which showed memory improvement at 40mg/day: Twelve healthy female volunteers received pre-treatments with vinpocetine 10, 20, 40 mg and placebo for two days according to a randomised, double-blind crossover design. On the third day of treatment, 1 hour after the morning dose, subjects completed a battery of psychological tests including Critical Flicker Fusion (CFF), Choice Reaction Time (CRT), Subjective Ratings of Drug Effects (LARS) and a Sternberg Memory Scanning Test.
Memory as assessed using the Sternberg technique was significantly improved following treatment with vinpocetine 40mg when compared to placebo.

Eur J Clin Pharmacol. 1985;28(5):567-71.[dropdown_box expand_text="" show_more="Click for more studies, including ones over a longer period of time…" show_less="Close this section please." start="hide"]More studies on vinpocetine (a.k.a Cavinton): Because vinpocetine has been around for so long, there are a number of other papers to look at: _____________ 10-year experience with using Cavinton in cerebrovascular disorders.[Article in Russian] Cavinton was used for 10 years in 967 patients with different cerebrovascular diseases. The greatest benefit was seen in patients with early forms and primarily chronic forms: vascular (neurocirculatory) dystonia, initial manifestations of cerebral blood supply insufficiency, and circulatory encephalopathy in the first and second stages. Improvement of the subjective status and a decrease of the intensity of vestibulocerebellar disorders were recorded by the end of the treatment in 75-85% of such patients. Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova. 1992;92(1):56-60. ______________ Ethyl apovincaminate therapy in neurovascular diseases. Of a series of 100 patients, 46 were given combined (intramuscular and oral) treatment with ethyl apovincaminate (Cavinton) in daily doses of 10-30 mg; 54 were put on oral Cavinton (30-45 mg daily). Significant and relatively quick improvement was obtained in reversible vascular diseases, such as hypertensive encephalopathy, intermittent vascular cerebral insufficiency, in the early stage or light cases of cerebral endarteriitis and cerebral arteriosclerosis. On Cavinton, hypoxic character of the EEG improved, and so did performance in psychodiagnostic tests, alertness and memory. The doses administered did not damage parenchymal organs, and did not accumulate. Arzneimittelforschung. 1976;26(10a):1984-9. ______________ Rheoencephalographic and psychological studies with ethyl apovincaminate in cerebral vascular insufficiency. The effect of ethyl apovincaminate (RGH-4405, Cavinton) on the rheoencephalogram and memory functions was studied in 50 patients with ischaemic disturbances of cerebral circulation. The drug was administered in a single i.v. dose of 10 mg, and 5mg orally three times daily for a month. Improvement of cerebral circulation was observed after i.v. and oral medication. Blood flow was most markedly increased in the gray matter. The effect on arterial pressure was negligible.
Improvement of memorizing capacity evaluated by psychological tests was recorded after one month of Cavinton treatment, associated with alleviation or complete disappearance of symptoms. No side effects attributable to the drug were observed.
Cavinton is indicated in the treatment of ischaemic disorders of the cerebral circulation, particularly in chronic insufficiency. Arzneimittelforschung. 1976;26(10a):1947-50. _______________________ Investigation of the effect of vinpocetine on cerebral blood flow and cognitive functions.[Article in Hungarian]
The authors found a significant improvement in cognitive function and blood flow velocity after 12-weeks of oral vinpocetine therapy using psychometric tests. The general condition of patients also improved significantly according to both the investigator's and the patients' opinion; patients with mild cognitive impairment judged the improvement higher. The authors recommend the use of vinpocetine for the treatment of patients with mild cognitive impairment.
Ideggyogy Sz. 2007 Jul 30;60(7-8):301-10. ________________________ The role of vinpocetine in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases based on human studies.[Article in Hungarian] The aim of this review was to summarize the indications and the potential effects of vinpocetine in acute and chronic cerebrovascular diseases based on clinical studies. RESULTS: In chronic cerebrovascular patients after single dose and long-term vinpocetine therapy, PET, TCD, SPECT and NIRS examinations showed increasing perfusion and elevated glucose and O2 consumption of the examined areas; furthermore, significant improvement of rheologic factors was detected.
A meta-analysis of international clinical studies showed a significant improvement in cognitive achievement in chronic stroke patients after oral therapy.
CONCLUSION: The cited studies showed the potential multi-pharmacological effects of vinpocetine and its beneficial hemorheological potential. The drug also improves the blood flow and metabolism of the affected brain areas.
There is increasing evidence that vinpocetine improves the quality of life in chronic cerebrovascular patients.
Orv Hetil. 2007 Jul 22;148(29):1353-8.
_____________ I include this next paper with an important caveat: Every review of vinpocetine mentions it, because the results sound impressive, but I was not able to get my hands on it despite multiple attempts. Having never read the "fine print", I can't actually vouch for the methodology or conclusions. A meta-analysis of six randomized, controlled trials involving 731 patients showed that vinpocetine was highly effective in the treatment of senile cerebral dysfunction. Using several psychometric testing scales in addition to physical symptoms (speech and movement capacity, muscular coordination and strength, sensory-perceptual ability) the researchers were able to show a highly significant effect of vinpocetine on both cognitive and motor functions. Nagy Z, Vargha P, Kovacs L, et al. Meta-analysis of Cavinton. Praxis 1998;7:63-68. [/dropdown_box] Aside from its' effects on blood flow and metabolism, vinpocetine seems to have a number of other tricks that contribute to its effectiveness. To wit: Antioxidant Effects Like vitamin E, vinpocetine is an effective scavenger of hydroxyl radicals.10 It has also been shown to inhibit lipid peroxidation in mouse brain tissue, and to protect against anoxia and hypoxia in animals: during experimentally-induced stroke (in animals), Vinpocetine decreased areas of brain necrosis up to 60 percent.11
Stimulates Neurons of Locus Cereuleus: Vinpocetine stimulates locus ceruleus (LC) neurons, which decline in number with age.12 The reduced number and activity leads to a reduction in concentration, alertness and information processing speed and ability. Vinpocetine's ability to improve the cerebral cortical activating power of the remaining LC neurons makes it a potential cognition enhancer.
In summary: It is rare to find a supplement with strong basic science and clinical trial data that complement each other. Vinpocetine is a standout in that regard, considering the lack of pharmaceutical company backing. It appears to be effective, and at a dose requiring just a small pill or two; it's inexpensive, and it has an almost negligible side effects profile. In the world of supplements, that's just about as good as it gets. More posts to come on the fascinating topic of nootropics. Stay tuned!

Vinpocetine should be taken twice daily, as there are no studies on once-daily dosing. For people who don't want to take a NeuroPack twice a day, I would suggest supplementing with an additional 20mg vinpocetine in the evening.
