And I beheld when I opened the sixth seal, there was a great earthquake. On 24 August 2014, there was a strong and power Earthquake, which rocked Napa, California at 3.20 A.M. The Earthquake was a magnitude 6.0 on the Richter scale, one was killed, 200 injured and there was $1 Billion in property damage. On 29^th April 2014, the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, as there was a solar eclipse; and the moon became as blood on 15^th of April and on the 8^th of October. And the stars of then Heaven fell to the Earth during the Leonid meteor shower, which took place before dawn on 18 November 2014, and the sky was filled with shooting stars, pouring down like rain. The first recorded meteor shower was in China 10 August 36 A.D. In England and Germany, beginning in the first half of the 19^th century, these meteors were called the “Tears of St. Lawrence,” named for the saint, whose feast day is on the 10^th of August, the date of his martyrdom. And in the year 258 A.D. under Roman Emperor Valerian, Lawrence was put to death by burning. According to the legend, the meteors were his flaming tears. And in 1839, Adolphe Quetelet and American Edward Herrick confirmed that meteor shows have an annual rhythm. Meteors are residue of particles of material (now known as meteoroid streams) from old comets, distributed along their orbits. Since the year 902, the most spectacular Leonid showers had been observed to occur at intervals of 33 or 34 years—in 902, 967, 1037, 1202, and 1366.

Some have considered the larger part of mankind in the light of actors, as personating characters no more than their own, and to which they have no better title that the player hath to be in earnest thought the king or emperor who he represents. Thus the hypocrite may be said to be a player; and indeed the Greeks called them both by one and the same name.  On 12 November, 1799, a certain Professor Thomas of Nashville, Tennessee, who was yanked out of bed, when an alarming blaze of the brightest fireballs lighting up his dark room. It was the most sublime vision I have ever had, reported Professor Thomas of Nashville, Tennessee. A planter in South Carolina awoke to the desperate cries of slaves, who were hollering and screaming like they lost their minds, on his and two nearby plantations; “Oh, my God, the World is in flames!” Dashing outside, the planter did not know whether to be more amazed, by the celestial performance, or by the crowd, level to the ground, imploring God to save them and the World. Another eyewitness, Mr. Strickland reported, “Two fireballs were half as bright as the Moon and several hundred of these gorgeous stars were visible at once…leaving a long streak of flame in their tracks.”

A few other witnesses reported that the meteors feel as thick as snowflakes. In Boston, a number of meteors equivalent to half the number of snowflakes, in a storm, was estimated to have hit the ground. Some estimate that 240,000 meteors fell to Earth, during the incredible nine hours even, essentially the entire night.  In New York, at a rate of 10,000 falls per hour, meteors as bright as the moon fell to Earth. Historian R.M. Devens declared the meteor storm of 13 November 1833, one of the 100 most memorable events in the entire history of the United States happened, in the great meter shower, one of the most extensive and wonderful displays of falling stars was seen. A number of scientist, including Denison Olmsted, professor of physics at Yale College, observed the phenomenon as well. Such observations confirmed Alexander von Humboldt’s impression, that the meteors all came from the same  point in the sky, in the constellation Leo (hence the name Leonids). It was also confirmed that the Leonids moved through the sky along with the sky along with the constellation, participating in the sky’s apparent diurnal rotation. There was another storm, as predicted on 13 November 1866, it was gorgeous. Meteors are also known to contain valuable and precious metals and diamonds.

Nonetheless, one of the most impressive meteor strikes happened 15 February 2013, at about 9.20 A.M. when a meteor, which looked as large as the moon, streaked through the daytime sky, above Russia, before exploding with a flash and sonic boom, that shattered glass windows, and left about 1,000 people injured. NASA said this was actually a tiny asteroids, and had a blast the equivalent to 300,000 tons of TNT. This kind of event only happens once every 100 years.  On this day, 3,000 buildings were damaged, and 20,000 emergency workers were on the streets to help anyone in need. To surround anything, however monstrous or ridiculous, with an air of mystery, is to invest it with a secret charm, and power of attraction which to the crowd is irresistible. False priests, false prophets, false doctors, false patriots, false prodigies of every kind, veiling their proceedings in mystery, have always addressed themselves at an immense advantage to the popular credulity, and have been, perhaps, more indebted to that resource in gaining and keeping for a time the upper hand of Truth and Common Sense, than to any half-dozen items in the whole catalogue of imposture.  The Bible describes several distinct signs that will happen prior to the return of our savior. The Sun shall be darken, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars of the Heaven shall fall, and the powers in Heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of Man coming, in the clouds with great power and glory, reports Mark 13.24-26.
