Amid worldwide speculation about the ceremony of the red heifer, the Temple Institute may have found the young man who will lead the ceremony.

The kohen (Hebrew for priest) was shown in a picture posted to Facebook looking over the red heifers in their secret location in Shiloh.

“A KOHEN FIT TO PERFORM THE RED HEIFER CEREMONY!” the post starts.

“The young kohen in the photo visiting the red heifer candidates in Shiloh, is fit to perform the red heifer ceremony.”

The Temple Institute notes that the young man, who remains unnamed in the post, possibly for security reasons, has met the highest level of requirements for purity according to the Torah. He was born at home, according to the Temple Institute, and has never been inside of a hospital, “having never contracted tum’at met (impurity imparted by contact with a corpse).”

In regard to the performing of the red heifer sacrifice, the post alludes to the possibility that the Temple Institute has offered this young kohen the opportunity to lead the ceremony, or at least to participate in it.

“Should he opt to participate in the Temple Institute’s ongoing preparations in anticipation of the renewal of the ashes of the red heifer, he will undergo intense instruction and training,” the post concludes.

While there have been varying reports about when the sacrifice is set to take place, no one knows the date of this ceremony that has caught the attention of the world.

What is known by the sheer volume of attention the red heifers are receiving is that many Jews are waiting in anticipation for the ceremony they believe will purify them before Yahweh and live in obedience to His commands of purification. Meanwhile, many Christians and Muslims believe this ceremony is a prophetic event that will be another sign of the end times and the days of the Antichrist, or the man of evil in Islam, Dajjal.

Early Wednesday morning, Taiwan experienced the strongest earthquake to hit the island nation in 25 years.

To date, there have been nine deaths, over 900 injured, an unknown number of people missing or trapped and multiple buildings collapsed in the aftermath of the 7.2-7.4 magnitude quake that rocked the city of Hualien along the eastern coast.

“At present the most important thing, the top priority, is to rescue people,” says President-elect Lai Ching-te.

The massive event sent shock waves throughout the South Pacific, literally and figuratively, as a tsunami warning was issued for Japan and the Philippines but has since been lifted.

As reported by Reuters, “Japan was rocked by its deadliest quake in eight years on New Year’s Day when a 7.6 magnitude temblor struck in Ishikawa prefecture, on the western coast. More than 230 people died in the quake that left 44,000 homes fully or partially destroyed.”

Now two 7.0+ earthquakes have hit the area in the first four months of 2024.

According to the electricity provider Taipower, much of the power that was knocked out has been restored, and thankfully, the two nuclear power plants on the island were not affected by the quakes.

Reports from the Japanese weather agency who detected the quake recorded the magnitude as high as 7.7, while the state media in China reported that the quake was felt as far as the province of Fujian.

“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled. For all these things must happen, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines, epidemics, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows,” (Matt. 24:6-8).

Jesus says these words to His disciples as the beginning of the end times. This is not to say any one event taking place right now is the starting point of the Great Tribulation, but Jesus tells His followers time and again, in parable and plainly, to watch for the signs. We must pay attention to what is happening in the world around us and ensure that our hearts are prepared for the day He returns.

In the meantime, we are called to action. To pray and provide care to those affected by such tragedies in ways that we are able. Anyone and everyone can pray and fast, while others are able to assist financially. We are called to be salt to the world and beacons of the love of Jesus Christ. While using biblical discernment for the times we are living in, we can show the world that there is power in the mighty blood of Jesus, shining a light in the growing darkness.

This April is chock-full of extraordinary events taking place in a short amount of time.

Some are viewed as prophetic warnings foretelling God’s judgment, while others are so bizarre and rare it’s hard to say their timing is a coincidence.

As chaos and uncertainty grip the hearts of many around the world, we can take solace and hope in the fact that God is in control of every event scheduled to take place, prophetic or not.

Here are five unusual events taking place in the month of April:

CERN Supercollider Firing on April 8

In their ongoing search for dark matter (or as some believe, opening portals into supernatural dimensions), the scientists in Switzerland at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, are switching on the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, and in a recent video posted to YouTube, Jim Staley of Passion for Truth Ministries has some interesting things to say about it.

“A large portion of CERN is located in the territory of Saint Genis Pouilly,” says Staley. “In Roman times it was called Apolliacum. The town and a temple were dedicated to Apollyon—the destroyer (Shiva/Horus).

“They tell you it’s all for scientific research,” he explains. “No, they’re looking for the God particle. They want to know what’s holding the universe together, and ultimately, they’re trying to get into time travel. They want to open up the curtain of what is behind our dimension and get into the multiverse. This is what they’re after.”

NASA Will Fire 3 Rockets Named After an Egyptian God at the Eclipse

We’re at a point in time where real events are so absurd and bizarre that no one would have the imagination to make something like them up.

As the Great American Eclipse is set to take place, NASA will conduct project Atmospheric Perturbations Around The Eclipse Path (APEP). The acronym aligns with the name of the ancient Egyptian serpent god.

“Why in the world would they have to name this mission after an Egyptian god called Apep, which is the nemesis of Ra, the sun god?” Staley asks. “This is the god of destruction and chaos and darkness. So they name this mission after the god of darkness that swallows up Ra the solar god.”

That’s two references to gods of destruction occurring on the same day. Some may say it’s a coincidence; others would say there is no such thing.

The Great American Eclipse of 2024

This is the event that has many rushing to see, with over 1 million people expected to travel to places in the path of the eclipse.

What has drawn the eye of many is that the path of the eclipse forms an X or an aleph over the New Madrid Fault line.

“The last time that we had a comet … with its two solar eclipses that formed an X over the United States was in 1811, and three months later was the largest continental earthquake in the history of the United States,” Staley says. “So large [that] it caused the it caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards and the Liberty Bell rang on the East Coast. This is a serious, serious thing that’s happening.”

While there are a multitude of signs and biblical reasons that may indicate this is a sign from God for the repentance of the nation, this will not bring about the end of the world as many have feared and wondered.

Planets Align During Solar Eclipse

With all of the hype surrounding the Great American Eclipse, few have discussed this rare celestial event. But on April 8, end-times expert Michael Snyder shared about this occurrence, in which “Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Mars along with the Sun and the Moon all line up through Pisces looking from Jerusalem to the east.”

According to the sky-watching site Starwalk, on April 8 “when it gets dark during the day, you’ll also see all the planets aligned in the sky! Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus will be lined up along with the eclipsed Sun.”

A full daytime alignment of planets visible from the U.S. at the same time as the total solar eclipse? The odds of that being a natural coincidence certainly seem astronomically low.

The ‘Cicadapocalypse’ Is Coming

For those who have endured the loud—and often irritating—buzzing of the cicadas when they come up from the ground to mate, this April will see two different broods, the 13-year and 17-year, arise at the same time.

“Billions, even trillions, of cicadas are going to emerge at the same time across 17 states,” Chris Simon, a professor in the University of Connecticut’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, told Live Science, according to The U.S. Sun.

That is a lot of cicadas.

What stands out about this event is its rarity. It is reported that the last time the two broods came out at the same time was 221 years ago.

People don’t need to run around thinking every single event taking place on Earth is a sign of doom. But as Christians we are called to watch, to be aware and to pay attention to the signs of the times.

So while these extraordinary events take place, try viewing them from a biblical lens. Take time to read through Scripture and see how they line up with the past and if the Lord puts anything on your heart during this exciting season.{eoa}

This past Resurrection Sunday saw no shortage of attacks from Satan targeting the victory Jesus claimed over sin and death.

From nearly every leader in the Biden administration celebrating “Transgender Day of Visibility” to protests in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, spiritual warfare was at the forefront of this year’s Easter celebration.

Few were as blatant and as bold as what Pastor Greg Locke of Global Vision Bible Church woke up to on Sunday morning.

Reporting his findings in a Facebook post, Locke shared that his church’s security cameras had captured a man targeting his church and setting hundreds of Bibles ablaze:

“This morning at 6:00AM our security cameras caught a man dropping off a trailer in the middle of the intersection and blocking the road into our church. He then got out and set fire to an entire trailer full of Bibles right in front of our church.”

These attacks on God in America and around the world have become more and more blatant, thanks in part to leadership that does not hold those committing such acts accountable.

Thankfully, Locke reported that there was someone waiting at the church for the service to start who had driven a considerable distance, and thanks to her presence, police were notified quickly of the hate crime:

“There was a lady that had driven through the night to get to our church and she was in the parking lot and was able to get the police officers here quickly, but it was quite the scene to wake up to on my first morning back from Israel.”

The Wilson County Sheriff’s office reported that they believe the trailer full of Bibles was “intentionally set on fire.”

“To uphold the integrity of the ongoing investigation, other specific details cannot be provided at this time. However, we assure the community that further updates will be shared at the appropriate juncture,” the department said in a statement. “We appreciate the cooperation and understanding of the community during this period. The safety and security of our residents remain our utmost priority.”

But this is not the time for Christians to shy away from the spiritual attacks targeting them in America. No. This is the time to stand up firmly on the Word of God and resist the devil and his minions so that they may flee from us.

A Christian’s fight is with the “principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Eph. 6:12), and it is past time we take up the full armor of God and take the fight to the devil.

Join with one another in prayer, fasting and sharing of the gospel message. It is clear Satan does not want the knowledge of Jesus’ victory over the grave to get out, so we must shout it out to the masses even louder.{eoa}

We are witnessing biblical prophecy unfold right before our very eyes, yet far too many Christians remain oblivious to its significance.

The red heifer, a seemingly mundane aspect of ancient Jewish faith, is emerging as a pivotal symbol in the prophetic timeline. While its significance may sound obscure to some, it holds profound implications for believers attuned to the signs of the times.

It’s crucial to clarify that Christians do not believe the sacrifice of a red heifer can absolve sins; Jesus’ sacrifice alone holds that power. However, according to biblical prophecy, the ceremonial sacrifice of a red heifer in Israel is a precursor to significant end times events.

The imminent sacrifice of a red heifer is not merely a religious ritual; it carries profound eschatological implications. According to the Bible, the ashes of a red heifer are used in purification rituals to consecrate the Jewish people, their priests and the temple. This event, expected to occur soon in Israel, will undoubtedly have global ramifications, potentially livestreamed for the world to witness.

Four red heifers currently meet the purity qualifications for this sacred ceremony and they are being held in an undisclosed location somewhere in the area of Judea and Samaria. Land has been acquired on the Mount of Olives for the sacrifice, aligning with biblical instruction and the recently built altar faces into where the holy of holies is believed to have been located. The significance of these events cannot be overstated, as they align with biblical prophecies regarding the end times.

Scripture provides insight into the significance of these events. In Daniel 9:27, a verse often associated with the Great Tribulation, it is prophesied that sacrifices and offerings will cease. This implies the existence of a Third Temple in which these rituals can occur, paralleling the practices that took place in ancient Israel. The emergence of red heifers and preparations for their sacrifice in Israel align with these prophetic markers and lead to a resumption of temple practices.

However, opposition to these sacred ceremonies is evident. Even Hamas (and the entire Muslim world) recognize the significance of the red heifer and many seek to disrupt it. Why? A significant portion believes that this sacrifice will bring with it the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the retaking of the Temple Mount for the Jewish people along with ushering in the Dajjal (the Islamic version of the Antichrist). This shows just how intense the spiritual warfare surrounding the fulfillment of biblical prophecy is in our modern world.

Amid the chaos and uncertainty of the present age, Christians are called to heed Jesus’ admonition to “watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming,” (Matt. 24:42). The urgency of these times demands vigilance and discernment, rooted in prayer and scriptural truth. Being ignorant of the times we live in is simply not acceptable for a proclaiming Christian, as we are called to be the salt of the Earth, not the bystanders.

While the exact timeline of end times events remains unknown, believers are urged to remain vigilant, prepared for the imminent return of Christ. As we witness the unfolding of biblical prophecy, we must not be complacent but actively engage in spreading the gospel and building God’s kingdom on earth.

The significance of the red heifer in Bible prophecy cannot be understated. It serves as a tangible reminder of the unfolding of God’s divine plan and the imminence of Christ’s return. As we navigate these tumultuous times, may we remain steadfast in faith, watching and praying as we await the culmination of God’s redemptive purposes in history.

Early in the morning on Tuesday, Mar. 26, the United States was shocked to watch a cargo container ship crash into the Francis Scott Key bridge, collapsing the structure.

This catastrophic event saw the Port of Baltimore shut down and is expected to have a devastating impact on the area for both commuters and cargo haulers.

To date, there are two confirmed fatalities and a total of six suspected deaths caused by the bridges collapse, however salvage crews need to continue work before rescue and recovery efforts can continue, according to the AP.

What if there were more to this event than meets the eye? Many have already taken issue and voiced their opposition to the government’s official narrative and declared this to be a “black swan” event.

But suppose there was a supernatural side to this devastating tragedy?

According to Z Ministries, prophetic voice Joseph Z had “earlier prophesied in his past broadcast of Oct. 4, 2021, about ships in the sea, where he hoped and prayed that the ships he saw in his vision were not a Trojan horse for military action. Also, in his broadcast on Dec. 31, 2020, he gave the same prophetic word about sinking ships, explosive sea vessels, fire and pollution.”

With the current state of the world being one that embraces darkness and rejects the righteousness and design of God, could the mass casualty event in Baltimore have been a sign of the times and a warning to America?

On Mar. 13, Z prayed against this very scenario, holding a live broadcast to lift up America before the throne of God and “he prayed against mass casualties on US soil.”

For those doubting the power of prayer, remember, the judgment of Nineveh would not have been halted if Jonah had simply prayed for the city, there must be repentance to delay or halt God’s retribution for their sin.

“The prophetic word I’ve been giving is number one: that there’s coming a cyber attack,” Z warns.

“It is a attack on our Star Spangled Banner. It’s an attack on everything, and it is dropping so to speak some of the very word or the the penned song for our national anthem. It is an assault on the US. When this happened, this word ‘Dali’ is the title or the name of the vessel that hit it. It means this [in Hebrew]…drawn up of God or drawn towards God. That’s the name that’s the meaning drawn towards God or Heavenly Offspring,” Z reveals.

“We’re coming to a moment where the Lord is saying, ‘draw back up to Me. Come up to Me. Come up higher.’ That’s what He’s saying now,” Z continues.

In the wake of the deadly shooting that took place in Russia, in the wake of the war in Israel and the conflicts all around the world, Z is calling the Christian community to seize this Nineveh moment and pray with a repentant heart against the slew of mass casualty events that are plaguing the world.

“I am interceding over America against more mass casualty events against all these issues,” Z shares. “These are terrible issues that are taking place. … I believe there’s going to be a lot of justice that is served in a lot of these areas and some of the people are calling these out.”

“I believe there is a lot more to this demonic narrative that’s trying to casue these things to happen,” Z continues.

If Christians ever wonder what they can do to help a world that they may feel powerless in, join Z in prayer and repentance for our nation, for our world. God is a just God, and is longsuffering in waiting for His people to turn their hearts back towards Him. But times of judgment will follow the sins of a people and a nation.

“I’ve been praying and interceding and working through this process, and I want you to join me. I want you to join me in praying for America. I want you to join me in praying for your precious nation,” Z says.

In the wake of a Homeland Security raid on rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs’ estates in Los Angeles and Miami, a list of celebrity names has been revealed in court filings for a lawsuit against Combs.

On that list is senior pastor of the Dallas-area megachurch The Potter’s House, Bishop T.D. Jakes.

Media outlet Newsweek listed the celebrities appearing alongside Bishop Jakes in the lawsuit:

• Stevie J (Steven Aaron Jordan), a music producer and television personality
• A redacted name of a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj
• A Grammy Award-winning R&B singer who had trouble with law enforcement after assaulting a Bajan billionaire, whose name was also redacted
• Yung Miami, who was not labeled as a celebrity in the filing
• Prince Harry
• Bishop T.D. Jakes
• Cassie Ventura, a singer and dancer
• Georgia Mass Choir
• Donald Lawrence, songwriter and music producer
• The Clark Sisters
• Smokie Norful
• Faheem Muhammad
• DeForrest Taylor
• Jose Cruz

Bishop Jakes has not currently been charged with any crimes and has categorically denied previous accusations made against him in regards to attendance at Diddy’s infamous parties.

It is reported that the raids are in response to a series of sex-trafficking allegations made against Combs, in addition to a recent string of lawsuits that allege the entrepreneur also committed sexual assault along with additional cases of trafficking.

As Charisma News previously reported, The Christian Post talked with Derrick Williams, executive vice president of T.D. Jakes Entertainment, who said:

Bishop Jakes was in LA for important business meetings, and we felt that a quick appearance at the former Chairman of Revolt’s birthday event was the respectful thing to do since Bishop Jakes’ sermons are aired on the Revolt Network.

We both greeted the family, Bishop Jakes recorded a brief celebratory birthday video and left immediately to take our other scheduled meetings. Any accusation to the contrary is wholly unsubstantiated, unverified and false.

Bishop Jakes will continue to break down barriers and find relevant ways to tell faith-based and value-based stories. This and only this continues to be our North Star.

The accusations against Jakes stemmed from “an unverified report that accused Jakes of being a frequent participant at sex parties hosted by music mogul Sean Combs, known as Diddy. However, a representative for Jakes has dismissed the claims as ‘unequivocally false and baseless.'”

Currently, there are no reports of Combs being arrested, and it is suspected that he fled the country shortly before the raids occurred in his private jet to an island in the Bahamas according to NBC News. It has not yet been confirmed if he was in fact on the jet when it left U.S. borders.

This is a developing story, and Charisma Media will provide updates as they are released.

Former President Donald Trump made headlines, again, but this time it wasn’t for any trial developments or considerations as to who his pick for vice president in his potential administration would be.

This time, he is promoting the God Bless the USA Bible on his social media app Truth Social, alongside country music legend Lee Greenwood.

“Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible,” Trump posted on the platform alongside a video of himself promoting the bible.

In the video, Trump exhorts all Americans to keep a Bible in their home.

“All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many. It’s my favorite book,” Trump says.

Within the pages of this King James Version of the Bible, according to their website, is a copy of:

• Handwritten chorus to “God Bless The USA” by Lee Greenwood
• The U.S. Constitution
• The Bill of Rights
• The Declaration of Independence
• The Pledge of Allegiance.

The large print Bible is currently being sold for $59.99 online.

Throughout the video, Trump declared that America needs to bring religion and Christian values back to America, and that is the way to stop the current course America has found herself on.

“Religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country. And I truly believe that we need to bring them back and have to bring them back fast,” Trump says. “I think it’s one of the biggest problems we have. That’s why our country is going haywire. We’ve lost religion in our country.”

As reported by Fox News, “The Bible is the latest product Trump has promoted after releasing a line of $400 sneakers earlier this year.”

As the Apr. 8, date of the Great American Eclipse rapidly approaches, many are filled with unease and wonder what is going to happen after the occurrence is over?

In a recent YouTube video, evangelist Perry Stone addresses the words of Jesus and what will occur as the precursors to the end times and the lead up to the Great Tribulation.

Stone starts by turning to the source of all wisdom: the Word of God and shares what Jesus says in Luke 21:11:

And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

“Notice He says great earthquakes, so whatever the great and fearful signs in the heaven will be, whatever Jesus is talking about in this reference, is connected to earthquakes, famines and pestilences,” explains Stone.

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

This particular reference of Scripture draws a distinctly possible connection between the solar eclipse that is going to occur on Apr. 8, and the area in which it will travel, and that is over the New Madrid Fault line.

“How in the world are there signs in the sun and the moon? The answer is in Joel 2 and Acts chapter 2. It talks about the sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord, the great and terrible day of the Lord’s the tribulation we’re not in the tribulation but we’re headed there, so these cosmic signs will happen before the Great Tribulation but there’ll be a sign that the tribulation is coming in the future blood moons,” Stone continues.

Unbeknownst to many, we just went through a penumbral lunar eclipse on the second day of Purim, on Monday, Mar. 25, exactly two weeks before the solar eclipse is supposed to take place.

These signs in the heavens lining up one after another after another, including the coming Jewish holiday of Passover taking place Apr. 22-30, have many fearful that a large-scale event is going to take place some time during or after the eclipse.

“The big thing that everybody’s talking about is it crosses over the New Madrid fault line,” says Stone. “…now John Kilpatrick a great man of God and several other men for years have had dreams or visions of the New Madrid fault line giving way.”

Should this event happen, and should it happen on a large scale such as 7.0 to 8.0 on the Richter scale or similar in strength to the quakes in the early 1800s, then massive disruption will occur in the United States.

According to the U.S. Department of the Interior, if the New Madrid Fault were to have recurring quakes of this size and scale, it would lead to “significant damage to buildings, transportation and critical infrastructure would occur in at least eight states, resulting in loss of life and economic disruption.”

“The danger to the United States would be that the railroad bridge[s] connecting part of the West with the East Coast are cut off. The bridges for trucks to deliver food are cut off. …So there would be a complete shutting off, a split, between the central and western part of the United States and the east coast of the United States. And the food supply would be diminished within probably, I would say within a few hours, because everybody would panic in trying to get food in the stores,” says Stone.

While Stone is not giving a specific timeline for an occurrence to take place, he does believe that the eclipse on Apr. 8, is one of the great and fearful signs Jesus spoke of, in which case something will transpire in the wake of the eclipse.

Stone encourages believers to take practical steps to be prepared for disaster scenarios, but more importantly, prepare their hearts and ensure that they are prepared spiritually.

“Be prepared is what I’m trying to say, and also realize these are signs that the Messiah is going to return. So your your greatest thing to do is to spiritually prepare for the coming of the Lord. That’s it,” Stone says.

Whether you are enamored by the physical beauty and awe of the upcoming Great American Eclipse 2024 or that this celestial event is a sign from God for humanity to pay close attention to, there is a multitude of alarms being raised over the sheer size of this event.

To date, several counties in the path of the solar eclipse have declared states of emergency for the vast numbers of onlookers who wish to see this amazing scene unfold, while the state of Oklahoma has called up their National Guard to assist with the massive influx of people.

As preparations are being made, more warnings are being released by authorities over various disruptions caused by the eclipse itself.

The FAA has issued a warning regarding potential disruptions caused by the eclipse.

According to The Hill:

The FAA warned pilots to prepare for operational changes and higher-than-normal traffic volume at airports along the eclipse’s path. These airports include Burlington International Airport, Syracuse Hancock International Airport, Indianapolis International Airport, Fort Wayne Airport, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Buffalo Niagara International Airport and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

Meanwhile, various business leaders for cellular companies as well as local authorities have warned the public that cell service may also be disrupted during the eclipse as over 1 million visitors are expected to flock to areas within the eclipse’s path.

According to Rebecca Owens, director of the Richland County Emergency Management Authority in Ashland, Ohio, in a statement to the Richland Source, “Cell phone (reception) will be very, very sketchy. There will be lots of issues with connectivity and that type of thing.”

The news outlet Unilad reported that:

With an expected one million tourists heading to Texas, 500,000 flocking to Indiana and Ohio – where Richland County is – and around 400,000 visiting New York, it’s feared that the huge influx of people gathering to watch the eclipse could cause problems with cell connectivity.

Companies such as T-Mobile and Verizon are reportedly working to get out ahead of the problem and are working to increase network capacity for the eclipse hunters.

A surge in usage not withstanding, NASA has previously announced that the eclipse itself could cause some issues with connectivity during the celestial event.

“The sudden changes in ionospheric conditions during an eclipse can lead to the formation of ionospheric anomalies, such as ionospheric holes or depletions,” wrote HamSCI Citizen Science Team Member McKenzie Denton.

“These anomalies can disrupt radio signals and GPS navigation systems, affecting communication and navigation over the affected regions.

“… The altered ionospheric conditions during an eclipse can change how radio waves propagate through the ionosphere.

“This can cause signal fading, absorption, and refraction, affecting shortwave and satellite communication systems.”

The total solar eclipse is going to occur on Apr. 8, 2024, with the next eclipse expected to occur June 21, 2039.
