A Large Solar Storm Will Hit Earth on July 31 or August 1

Revelation 19:11–13 In the 1950s the world feared it was on the edge of a nuclear apocalypse. Near the turn of the century, there was worldwide speculation about Y2K and the possible end of the civilized world as a result. More recently, a pop culture stir arose over the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012. At present, there is discussion in Christian circles over the appearance of blood moons, supposedly also a sign of catastrophic events. How, then, should a Christian respond to doomsday predictions and related news events?

From a Christian perspective, our first reaction should be to take a deep breath and relax. At some point in time, this world is going to end (2 Peter 3:10). Christ will return (Revelation 19:11–13) at the time He is prepared for (1 Corinthians 15:51–52). And yet, every single person on earth is a split second away from a personal doomsday, right now (Psalm 39:5). Heart attacks, war, accidents, and such can bring us face-to-face with our Creator more readily than a global catastrophe (James 4:13–15). Whether the end times are right around the corner or a long way off, we are called to be prepared (2 Corinthians 6:2), not panicked.

An absolutely massive hole has formed in the upper atmosphere of the Sun, and our planet will align with that hole later this week.  Once the alignment happens, Earth will be bombarded by a “solar storm”, and nobody is quite sure yet how bad it will be.  If the storm is relatively minor, we could just experience a few disruptions to satellite communications and see some pretty lights in the sky.  But if the storm is really severe, our electrical grid could be fried and we could experience widespread power outages.  According to the Express, “the solar storm will hit Earth on July 31 or August 1″…

Estimated time of arrival: Jul. 31st or Aug. 1st. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras on those dates.”

In 1859, a much more serious solar storm hit our planet, and it fried telegraph systems all across North America…

On September 1–2, 1859, one of the largest recorded geomagnetic storms (as recorded by ground-based magnetometers) occurred. Auroras were seen around the world, those in the northern hemisphere as far south as the Caribbean; those over the Rocky Mountains in the U.S. were so bright that the glow woke gold miners, who began preparing breakfast because they thought it was morning.^[6]People in the northeastern United States could read a newspaper by the aurora’s light.^[11] The aurora was visible from the poles to the low latitude area^[12], such as south-central Mexico^[13], Queensland, Cuba, Hawaii,^[14] southern Japan and China,^[15] and even at lower latitudes very close to the equator, such as in Colombia.^[16] Estimates of the storm strength range from −800 nT to −1750 nT.^[17]

Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases giving telegraph operators electric shocks.^[18]Telegraph pylons threw sparks.^[19] Some telegraph operators could continue to send and receive messages despite having disconnected their power supplies.^[20]

Additionally, a surge of particles can lead to high currents in the magnetosphere, which can lead to higher than normal electricity in power lines, resulting in electrical transformers and power stations blowouts and a loss of power. The higher amounts of radiation can also leave people vulnerable to cancer.

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.” (Joel 2:28.)

John Wesley who said that what we tolerate in our generation, will be embraced by the next. Wesley is 100% correct! We are living in sick times.

Usually, the Lord doth no great thing for or against his people, without giving warning of it before it comes.

They perverted justice among themselves (v. 7): “You turn judgment to wormwood, that is, you make your administrations of justice bitter and nauseous, and highly displeasing both to God and man.’’ That fruit has become a weed, a weed in the garden; as nothing is more venerable, nothing more valuable, than justice duly administered, so nothing is more hurtful, nothing more abominable, than designedly doing wrong under color and pretense of doing right. Corruptio optimi est pessima —The best, when corrupted, becomes the worst.

It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated.

2 Corinthians 4:8-11 New King James Version (NKJV)
8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
