In case you haven’t heard, there will be a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, that will cross over the US and will intersect the paths of the August 21, 2017, total solar eclipse as well as the annular (partial) solar eclipse that occurred on October 14, 2023.
The 2017, 2023 and 2024 solar eclipses over the US are extremely important. Even life changing. World changing. Luckily there are a lot of clues and hints regarding how our lives might change after this next eclipse.
Factoids regarding solar eclipses crossing the US:
The 2017 eclipse ONLY crossed over the United States. It did not cross over any other country.
The last total solar eclipse that ONLY crossed the US was January 11, 1880.
The last time a total solar eclipse crossed over the US coast to coast was June 8, 1918.
Also in 1918: The Spanish Flu outbreak. (Covid in 2019)
The location where the 2017 and 2024 eclipses intersect is not far from the New Madrid fault line, the biggest fault line in the US.
Only 8 total solar eclipses have crossed over the US since 1776, and only 1 of those eclipses crossed ONLY over the US. All of these eclipses were associated with wars.
The average number of years between solar eclipses occurring in the same location is 375 years.
The number of years between the 2017 and the 2024 eclipse is 7. There are 7 years in the Shmita cycle of the Hebrew calendar. (I will write about this in future posts).
My research shows that the path of the 2017 eclipse crossed 5 towns named Salem within the path of totality, and 5 towns named Salem that are close to the path of totality.
The name Salem derives from the name Jerusalem.

Both the 2017 and the 2023 eclipse made landfall in the US in the state of Oregon, and the path of the 2017 eclipse is remarkably similar to the Oregon Trail.

I was looking to see if you made a video about the event. I am glad you are aware of the importance of this. Why not do a remote viewing session and see what comes from it?
Thanks for this anyways. Looking forward to part two.
