Oh no, not again

 

I do realize that many people believe (or want to believe) in the Rapture and similar things, but do the doomsday preachers believe in their own prophecies at this stage? The above clip features a collection of truly absurd "predictions" connected to - you guessed it - the solar eclipse of 2024. Well, we´re still here talking about it, aren´t we?

The speculations are centered on the United States, not on the Middle East, a more logical place for an "apocalypse" to start (both in Biblical terms and in more secular ones). The fact that the path of the eclipse supposedly passes seven towns named Salem and seven towns named Nineveh is very significant. Except that it apparently doesn´t. It seems the eclipse was also visible from towns with names like "Donald" and "Uncle Joe"...

The paths of the eclipse can apparently be patterned in shapes reminescent of various Hebrew and Greek letters, Alpha and Omega being the most prominent. And what did Christ call himself in Revelation? Exactly. The two paths cross in an area of the Midwest popularly known as "Little Egypt"...

The emergence of the cicadas makes a brief guest appearence. I´m still a bit surprised that this isn´t a bigger thing. I mean, the connection between cicadas and locusts, while far fetched biologically, seem obvious and ominous from a "Biblical" perspective. 

As per usual, nothing will happen, and then it´s off to the next failed prediction "until Kingdom come" (pun intended).
