Eclipse October 14, 2023 And It's Spiritual Significance

By Dr. Daniel Daves, 10/15/23

I wanted to take a moment to stir up your thinking as a great event happened in the heavens on October 14th, 2023. This happened right in the middle of world conflict: multiple wars, Israel, Hamas, Russia, Ukraine, Nazi uprising, Communistic attempted overthrow of the West, mass fear and propaganda, lies and fraud everywhere, severe economic troubles, everything is being stolen, ancient legal and property lines being dissolved and erased, global power shifts, and so much more. While the world is clamoring in darkness and trying to find its way, a great sign and wonder just appeared in the heavens which should bring a great moment of faith to us all.  A solar eclipse took place, which we videotaped directly above our prototype farm and dehydration center in Panama.  You can see it right here.



What's the significance of this solar eclipse?  This eclipse happened in the womb of the constellation Virgo. While we don't follow and worship the constellations as the zodiac followers do, we realize that God Himself set these lights in the sky to provide insight for times, seasons, and timing of His Word.  

Watch this short video to see the significance of this eclipse:



There is a powerful mention of this eclipse in Revelation 12 where the woman (known by many as Virgo) is about to give birth.

Revelation 12:1 - 8  A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.

Let me take you through a short, bullet-pointed journey, which I have studied in detail over the past 30 years.  I am not going to try to convince you of the return of Jesus Christ, pre-, post, mid, none, pre-millennial, post-millennial, or any other belief system out there on the timing of the return of Jesus Christ. Rather, I want to focus on today, and what this eclipse means for YOU.

A. The woman clothed with the sun, and the moon and stars under her feet is clearly the New Testament church of Jesus Christ. She is clothed with Christ. She has the moon and star mentality under her feet, being a mature bride. She is pregnant with a child that the dragon desperately wants to take out!
B. The dragon is clearly Satan who drew 1/3 of the angels into rebellion against God in the beginning. He believes that this child will be a great threat to his works of darkness and his kingdom plans.  He is intent on devouring this child the moment he is born.  
C. Satan destroyed Adam and Eve in the garden, canceling their dominion mandate over the earth.  He attempted to destroy Moses by killing all the children during the season of God's deliverance of His people. And Satan attempted to destroy Jesus by having all the male children slaughtered during the season of Jesus' birth. Each time Satan attempted to destroy the child and his purpose, God had a plan that outwitted that old murderer and destroyer.
D. The woman (church) has been intimate with Jesus, resulting in a divine pregnancy of sorts. This pregnancy will produce a child who will rule the nations with an iron scepter. The following scriptures all tie together in revealing a movement of great victory on the earth.  (Thyratira: Revelation 2:26-29, White Horse: Revelation 19:11-16)
E. The woman (church) has been crying out in great pain during this season, being ready to deliver a child.  Think of a woman in the last month of pregnancy. What does she go through? Spiritually, the church has been going through the exact same things.
F. The dragon positioned himself to devour the child the moment he would be born.  There was a season of great threat of destruction.  Think about what must have been going on during Moses day when the young children were all slaughtered. What about the time when Jesus was born, and all the young children were slaughtered?  What about today, when we have an unprecedented slaughtering of children from the womb, to child trafficking, to terroristic targeting and murder? Children's lives and innocence are under direct attack by the great dragon.
G. The woman gives birth, right in the middle of the season of chaos.
H. The son that she gives birth to is known as a "Man Child". A fully grown and matured, male son who will rule the nations with a rod of iron.  I personally believe that this is a "Man Child Company of human beings, born through the church of Jesus Christ, who have very specific callings, powers, and authority to rule "in Christ" and to unfold His great plan on planet earth. These people have no problem sacrificing all, dying to self, and promoting the Kingdom of God at all costs, even at the cost of their personal lives. They have power to cast Satan down in spiritual warfare, and to destroy his works.  They work under the authority/power of the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony. They do not love their lives, even to the point of death (Revelation 12:11) which makes them very powerful and capable foes against the works of darkness.
I. This man-child was immediately caught up into Heaven and hidden from the reach of the great dragon.  I believe that this points to a great awakening to the fact that we are seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6, Colossians 2:1, Revelation 20:4).  This also points to a great capacity to move in stealth mode during these crazy times, out of the reach, and the view of the great dragon. Once you understand this stealth mode, you will have a great capacity to do what you could never do before without hindrance and resistance.
J. The woman comes under attack after giving birth to this very important man-child. She flees into the wilderness
to a place prepared for her by God, where "they" shall feed her for a period of time. Can you imagine who "they" are?

This is just the beginning of the story, which continues to unfold in Revelation 12 - 13. But for today, I want to encourage you to consider this point in history, Revelation 12, and the sign that just appeared in the heavens (eclipse) to draw our attention to Revelation 12.

What does this mean for you? You have been in a chaotic, apocalyptic time in history where darkness has been descending on the world.  And something has been different inside of you. There has been agitation, alot of pain, and a lot of changes going on all around you.  You know you're not going back to the old, but the new is a place of wonder and maybe even fear.  You are living in the season of the woman, crying out in pain, about to give birth.

The great news that I am shouting to you from the mountain tops, is exactly like the day that Jesus was born:

Luke 2:4-14 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.

This is the season of the man-child, and the season of new birth. This is a new day, a new chapter, and a new authority that's being unfolded to those who embrace the calling to be part of the man-child company.  The pains you have encountered have been for a reason and a season. The changes thrust upon you for a season have drawn you to this time. You have come to the kingdom for such a time as this!  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill towards men!  Former resistance is gone. Works of darkness that have held you back are demolished. As natural seasons change from Winter to Spring, so does your season.  New understanding, new revelation, new doors opening - these are all part of this new day.  The heavens have declared that Revelation 12 is upon us NOW!  Your greatest days are ahead of you, and the authority of Christ is upon you to do the unthinkable and accomplish the impossible.  Seize your moment. Seize your calling before God. Look up, and get your fresh marching orders.

Be encouraged. God births His purposes in chaos. During this dark season of chaos, He wants to remind you:

Isaiah 60:1-4 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

More to come shortly. God bless you my dear friend!
