“ 'Could this April 8th eclipse be the prophesied 'Nineveh Moment' that Billy Graham foresaw? Is it a divine warning before America's crucial 2024 Presidential Election, signaling either judgment or revival? Two total solar eclipses (2017 saw the first) forming an 'X' over the mightiest Gentile nation on earth? It's a celestial symphony not to be dismissed—it's a call to ponder our cosmic destinies!' exclaimed Pastor Paul Begley, host of the syndicated television show The Coming Apocalypse reaching 45 million homes and a popular YouTube show with over 250 million views."
"There are two Ninevehs, not seven, inside the April 8 eclipse's path of totality that is shown in the post," confirms USA Today. "The other five Ninevahs will just see a partial eclipse, like nearly all of the continental U.S."

Here's an old post on the troubled history of Nineveh and will have a new article tomorrow:
"In talking about the Second Coming of Christ, the first seven verses of Nahum 2 focus on the doom of Nineveh, capital of Assyria. Not just in the time of Nahum, but in the beginning of the destruction of Babylon and Nineveh.
"Of course, Jonah preached to Nineveh and told them about God's judgment on them and Nineveh repented, turning to Jehovah. They cast themselves on God and He didn't destroy them; He delivered them.
"One hundred years later, Nineveh had apostasized; they went back into their paganism. The Baal worship had taken them over again and they were used by God to be the instrument of His wrath against the nation Israel. The northern kingdom carried them off into captivity. That's what Jonah feared they were going to do 100 years before," explains Richard Jordan.
"When I teach through these Minor Prophets, I try to understand what I can understand and when I get through with doing that., I'll go and try to find a commentary or something and see what they say about it. It's amazing to me how little information there is available about these books.
"When there actually is information what's amazing is how vapid it is; pretty much useless. That's fascinated me because these books are keys to the understanding in the 'last days' of exactly how God's going to be working in the tribulation period. You literally get pictures of different battles and skirmishes and activities and movements.
Nahum 2:8: [8] But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.
"When it says, 'But Nineveh,' that's telling you the first seven verses are not about Nineveh; they're talking about Babylon.
[6] The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
[7] And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
"Huzzab is a name for Babylon. Oftentimes in the Bible God will give various names to a city and a location. In the dictionary of personal names Huzzab is said to mean 'decreed.'
"As an illustration of how God gives different names to Babylon, look at Jeremiah 51:41: [41] How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
"Chapters 50 and 51 are talking about the destruction of Babylon and here He calls her Sheshach. The best way I can illustrate this is if I say I'm going to go to Motown, that's another name for Detroit. Motor City.
"Detroit is emblematic of the motor industry. But you understand much of GM, Ford and Chrysler weren't actually in the city of Detroit. One's in Dearborn, one's up in Flint. But it's the metropolitan area.
"God would do like that with Babylon. He's talking about it like we would say the Windy City. It's a description that in its description describes what's going on; the spiritual character from things about the city.
"Verse 8 says, 'But Nineveh is of old.' Nineveh goes all the way back to Genesis 10. It's a city that has its roots in the Baal worship rebellion of Nimrod at the Tower of Babel.
"The 'her' and the 'she' from verse 7 that is Babylon is that thing in Revelation 17:5: [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH
"This is that strange woman of Baal worship reputation; this is the vain religious system that comes out of Babylon and Babel. The unifying power behind Babylon, Syria and Egypt is that Baal worship; it's the thing that animates these different kingdoms of old. These different heads of the nations are all part of the satanic policy that originated in the religion Nimrod develops.
"From Nahum 2:8, they're going to cry and say, 'Don't flee!' but they're all going to run. The judgment is going to be so fierce, so deadly, so dramatic, that nobody's going to stand. You'll see in verses 9-11 how devastating the judgment is.
"You ask, 'Why do they bring up a 'pool of water'? The first time you see water in the Bible is in Genesis 1:2. That expression 'without form and void' only occurs one other time in your Bible. It's in Jeremiah 4:23, describing the Battle of Armageddon and the condition of the land of Israel after the judgment of God in destroying all the satanic rebellion off the earth.
[23] I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
"It says Nineveh was like a pool of water and you start out in Genesis 1:2 with a BIG pool of water and some judgment.
Nahum 2:10: [10] She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
"That war that begins in Genesis is going to be concluded at the Second Advent and Nineveh is going to be there getting its reward. By the way, if it's empty and void then it's a stagnant pool; it's a dead pool with nothing in it alive, which tells you what's going on in Genesis 1:2. It's a pool where people can't function.
"Death in the Bible is not cessation of activity or existence. There's often time in the Bible what we call functional death. You're unable to function.
Verse 9: [9] Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
"They're going to come in and ransack Nineveh. You remember when Israel spoiled the Egyptians. When Nineveh's destroyed all the things she's gone out and taken away from the nations, if you look at Nahum 3:1: [1] Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;
"Nineveh was a place that preyed on everybody else. Just a bloodlust greed for material wealth. You'll see in chapter 3 that the two great forces behind military dominance in the earth are listed there and Nineveh is an example of them.
"The first one is that profit motive. There's that greed for material wealth. Well, they're going to lose it all.
"It says in the verse that 'there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.' That's just a way of saying there's so much there you can't see the end of it.
"Did you ever see the movie National Treasure? Where they went down and found that treasure finally in the basement and it just looks like it went on and on and on and on and on. You know there was an end to it, but the fact is it didn't look like there was.
" 'And glory out of all the pleasant furniture.' What happened is they would go out and rob places. You go back to Daniel 1 and Nebuchadnezzar went in and stole the things out of the temple of God and took them to his church. Well, they've gathered all this stuff up together.
"Verse 10 says 'and the faces of them all gather blackness.' They gather the blackness because they're burned in judgment. Nahum 1: [5] The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
[6] Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him."This is specifically talking about His personal return."
