2 Thessalonians 2 makes it absolutely clear that there’s no pre-tribulation rapture. Instead, the antichrist Son of Perdition will manifest in a false coming of Christ. Learn more at www.isawthelightministries.com/templeStrongDelusion.html
There are 3 major heavenly signs to occur in March - April 2024 which we should pay attention to.
-1. Almost total Lunar eclipse on Purim (during Ramadan) March 25, 2024 (in the USA).
-2. Almost total solar eclipse on the last day of Ramadan, April 8 in the USA.
-3. Appearance of Comet P12 Pons-Brooks, nicknamed “the Devil Comet”, perhaps seen with the naked eye by the end of March (perhaps during Purim), and appearing more during the solar eclipse, and becoming closest to the sun on April 21, the day before Passover. As it gets closer, perhaps the estimated date would be during Unleavened Bread.
2024 Islamic Month of Ramadan: March 10 (at sunset) to April 8.
Historically when they have conducted major attacks.

Sunday is both “Palm Sunday” and Purim.
Monday is also Purim.
(Passover April 22 UB 23)
Islamic prophecies: Of course we don’t believe in Islamic Hadiths but it’s important to consider them in our discussion, because the enemy uses dates just as much as the true God also uses dates repeatedly throughout history.
Eclipse of both moon and sun predicted during Ramadan for Mahdi’s return. But incorrect to the specifics of 2024 & not visible to the middle east. But they would still seize upon these Hadiths & the Koran as evidence of their fulfilled prophecy if it were to occur.

Hadiths:
Hazrat Ali bin Umar Albaghdadi Ad-Darqutani, 918 to 995 AD, had recorded the following Hadith narrated by Hazrat Imam Baqar Muhammad bin Ali:
“For our Mahdi there are two signs which have never appeared before since the creation of the Heavens and the Earth, namely the Moon will be eclipsed on the first night in Ramadan [i.e. on the first of the nights on which a lunar eclipse can occur] and the Sun will be eclipsed on the middle day [i.e. on the middle one of the days on which a solar eclipse can occur]. And these signs have not appeared since God created the Heavens and the Earth.” (Sunan al-Daraqutni, Kitab al-Eidain)
This Hadith is very debated, and much rejected. Nevertheless is relevant to our discussion.
Another Hadith:
During Ramadan:
"During Ramadan there will be a sound,
in Shawwal there will be a hum,
in Dhi Kidah tribes will fight,
in Dhi Hijjah pilgrims will be robbed,
and in Al Muharram a herald will call from Heaven.
'Attention! Surely, the choice from His creation is so and so, so hear him and obey!'"
Another?:
"During Ramadan there will be a sound
in Shawwal there will be a hum,
in Dhi Kidah tribes will fight.
In that year pilgrims will be robbed,
and there will be a fierce battle in Minan with myriad of murders,
blood will flow there until their blood flows over Al Jamrah
and their companion escapes and stands between Al Rukn and Al Makam
where he is pledged allegiance whilst he dislikes it.
And it is said to him:
'If you refuse we will slit your throat,
and the inhabitants of Heaven and Earth will be pleased with him."
This Hadith/Mursal was reported by Shahr ibn Hawshab in the reference of Nuaym ibn Hammad and Abu Amru Ad-Dani.
Koran: “He asks, ‘When will be the Day of Resurrection?’ When the eye is dazzled, and the moon is eclipsed, and the sun and the moon are brought together.” (Surah al-Qiyamah, Ch.75: V.7-10)
In Surah 75 of the Qur’an, entitled Al-Qiyamah, or The Resurrection, specific mention is made about the sun and the moon. Allah says, “So when vision is dazzled, and the moon darkens, and the sun and the moon are joined, Man will say on that Day, “Where is the escape?” (Qur’an 75:7-10).

Note also that the Islamic symbol of the crescent moon with a star, could be seen as a comet appearing in the sky at the same time as an eclipse. Note also that the sun & moon are extremely important in Freemasonry.
-----
Comet: Comet 12P/Pons-Brook will already be visible with the naked eye on April 8 during total solar eclipse.
The eclipse is about two weeks before the comet’s perihelion (closest point to the sun) on April 21, 2024, the day before Passover! (The “devil comet” could be seen as a symbol of the Angel of Death at Passover.)
It’s nicknamed “The Devil Comet”.

We are not saying that the antichrist (the Islamic Mahdi) will definitely manifest in the Spring of 2024. But we are saying that these heavenly signs are definitely significant, and are at the very least, foreshadowings that point to the eventually fulfillment of the antichrist manifesting on Purim of some year, even perhaps 2025.
But with the war currently in Gaza, and the situation in the Red Sea, it’s wise to watch, and to be prepared just in case that it turns out to be 2024. Especially when the Koran predicts “the resurrection” (false pre-tribulation rapture) during a lunar eclipse!
The November 2024 USA Presidential elections also makes 2025 a major possibility. But I don’t know of so many heavenly signs in the Spring of 2025. So the Spring of 2024 is very extremely interesting.
Ezekiel 33:1-7 If I see the sword coming and I don’t share what I see, and if the sword does come, then I will be held accountable for not sharing and not warning. I can’t ignore these signs and keep my mouth shut. I must share what I see.
We have repeatedly seen major foreshadowings during March and April of several different previous years. All pointing to a future Purim of whatever year.
We shouldn’t ignore these signs.
Let us prepare for the Great Tribulation to begin in the Spring of 2024 just in case. Then if it doesn’t happen yet, then let’s praise Jesus that we have at least one more year.
