“And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves…”

Luke 21:25 — English Standard Version

Do not misunderstand. I have not published the following to create fear or to fall into the trap of becoming preoccupied with every event occurring so as to neglect what is most important. I have paid a modicum of attention to SpaceWeather for a number of years now not out of fear or believing doing so will reveal when the Lord Jesus Christ will return, but to heed the instruction of the Bible to pay attention. Keep watch. Pay attention to the signs and wonders taking place in the sun, the moon, and the stars.

All created, as everything known was and is, by God the Father of believers in Him and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are in control of all things. Using all of creation to reveal Themselves and to reveal Bible prophecy for what it is. A foreshadowing, a forecast, an alert to those believing and paying attention to what is to come, what is to be fulfilled and accomplished.

For you see, God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, and all of heaven and creation are not alien nor opposed to science — for there would not be any feeble and sorely lacking in knowledge science [compared to the knowledge of God the Father and Jesus the Lord of lords Creators of all that is known…and unknown] were it not for God and Jesus — Who in creating all things known and unknown created every scientific principal known to limited, finite in our thinking and knowledge man.

Wrest yourselves from the lie that God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and faith are alien and separate from science as that errant belief was established and has carried forward with the ignorant teachings of Mr. Charles Darwin and his THEORY of evolution, but prior to that science was not deemed totally isolated and separate from God and Jesus the Creator!

Forget Darwin. As most current geneticists, biologists and anthropologists have as Mr. Darwin’s THEORY, only a THEORY — as that word is always committed in the discussion isn’t it? — has shown to have more holes in it than poorly made Swiss cheese!

Look to the heavens!

Look to the Lord!

Look to the word of God!

The whole of the Word of God. In complete trust and faith. From this day forth. And know there is coming a day when the signs and wonders in the heavens will be accomplished as it is written in the Scriptures.

In the meantime, the power of the sun, beyond comprehension, ofttimes, most times never thought about, can alter dramatically, totally life on earth as it is. All within the power and purpose of God.

Not man.

All in God’s power for His purpose.

In the meantime there will be times, increasing in frequency and duration, wherein viewing and listening to what you watch on TV, or partake of on your computers will be interrupted. Perhaps this will lead to more time spent in turning to God, Christ, and reading and meditating within the Word of God!

Three Massive Earth-Facing Sunspots Have Developed ‘Delta’ Magnetic Fields

Tuesday, January 10, 2023

The sun is having a busy week, developing three massive unstable “delta-class” sunspots, one of which spewed out the second biggest solar flare so far this solar cycle.

The flare, which was classified as an X1.9 flare, occurred at 1:50 p.m. EST on January 9, 2023, and erupted from sunspot AR3184, NASA said in a statement. There are two other large sunspots currently on the sun’s surface also at risk of releasing an X-class solar flare: AR3181 and AR3182.

Solar flares are powerful jets of electromagnetic radiation shot out from the sun, usually from sunspots when their twisted magnetic field lines suddenly realign. X-class flares are the most powerful type of solar flare, and if they directly hit the Earth, can lead to radiation storms and planet-wide radio blackouts.

This flare caused minor radio blackouts over the Pacific Ocean.

“Solar flares are classified according to how bright they are in the soft X-ray part of the spectrum,” Gonzalo José Carracedo Carballal, an astrophysics researcher at the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial in Madrid, Spain, previously told Newsweek.

Solar flares are classified as A-class, B-class or C-class at their weakest, M-class at a moderate strength, and X-class at their most powerful. X-class flares are 10 times more powerful than M-class, and an X10 flare is 10 times more powerful than an X1 flare.

The January 9 flare was classified at an X1.9 flare, making it the second most powerful flare seen in solar cycle 25 so far. Solar cycles follow 11-year patterns of activity: This solar cycle, the 25th since we began recording solar activity in 1749, began in 2019 after the last solar minimum, and is now revving up in activity as it approaches the next solar maximum in 2025, with increased numbers of sunspots and solar flares expected in the coming years.

The most powerful flare of solar cycle 25 occurred on April 4, 2022, when an X2.2 flare was measured.

AR3184, which released the January 9 flare, and its fellow sunspots AR3181, and AR3182, each have a ‘delta-class’ magnetic field, spaceweather.com stated, making them unstable and increasingly prone to emitting strong and powerful flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

Delta-class magnetic fields, as defined by spaceweatherlive.com, mean that there are multiple magnetic field lines all with different polarities interacting at the sunspot, making them more unstable and so more likely to release solar flares.

These unstable sunspots and their delta-class magnetic fields have contributed to NOAA forecasters’ estimate of there being a 35 percent chance of another X-flare on January 10. This frequency of X-class flares is unusual, as X-class flares usually only happen around 10 times per year.

“In 2022 we saw 7 X-class #SolarFlares (up from 2 in 2021). We’re nine days into 2023, and the second X-class flare of the year is already in progress!” tweeted Ryan French, a solar physicist at the National Solar Observatory.

Before January 9, the most recent X-class flares occurred on January 6, 2023, when an X1.22 flare was recorded, and on October 2, 2022, with an X1 flare.
