There is much prophetic urgency in the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. It will complete an X over the United States with its predecessor in 2017.
This astronomical event has captured the attention of prophecy watchers, drawing parallels to past celestial occurrences and their subsequent earthly impacts. The intersection of these eclipses near Little Egypt, Illinois, near the historically significant New Madrid fault line, invokes a reflection on past devastations following similar signs, notably the catastrophic New Madrid earthquakes of the early 19th century.
One might find it interesting that April 8, the day of the eclipse, is the last day of Adar 2 before the month of Nisan when Passover is celebrated.
The pattern of these celestial signs, namely the X across the U.S., echoes warnings from history and prompts contemplation on whether this is a mere coincidence or a sign of impending judgment.
Responding With Prayer and Awakened Hearts
This period should be marked by intercession for the nations, especially for mercy for the United States, for divine wisdom for leaders and for the global church to stand in solidarity with the Jewish people.
A good spiritual heartfelt position for strategic prayer can be found in Esther 4:1-4:
When Mordecai learned all that had been done, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and bitter cry. He went as far as the king’s gate because no one was allowed to enter into the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth. In each and every province where the king’s command and his decree came there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing. Many lay in sackcloth and ashes. So the young women of Esther and her eunuchs came and told her of it. The queen was then seized by anguish. She sent garments to clothe Mordecai so that he could remove his sackcloth, but he would not accept them.

The prophetic word—the prophetic question—to the ecclesia, in the spirit of Mordechai, is, “Will you accept this assignment to stand in the gap for the United States, Israel and the nations?”
Esther 4:12-17 reads,
So all the words of Esther were told to Mordecai. Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not think that in the king’s palace you will be more likely to escape than all the other Jews. For if you remain silent at this time, protection and deliverance for the Jews will be ordained from some other place, but you and your father’s house shall be destroyed. And who knows if you may have attained royal position for such a time as this?” Then Esther replied, sending back to Mordecai: “Go, gather all the Jews who can be found in Susa, then fast for me. Stop eating and drinking for three days, night or day. I and my young women will fast likewise. Only then would I dare go to the king since it is not allowed by law, and if I perish, I perish.” So Mordecai went away and did exactly as Esther had commanded him.”
In this season the wise will seek to understand the times, seek God’s face and intercede for the unfolding of His purposes on earth. Our goal is to believe the Lord through our prayers and fasting that Haman and his 10 sons will be hung on their own gallows (Esth. 7:10, 9:10) in Yeshua’s name!
