GIANT SUNSPOT TURNS TOWARD EARTH - MORE LARGER FLARES POSSIBLE
OCTOBER 1, 2011
Stretching for more than 100,000 km (62,000 miles) from end to end, solar Active Region (AR) 1302 is slowly coming into position where it directly faces the Earth. The region contains a 'behemoth' sunspot "several times larger than the Earth" named sunspot 1302.
The sunspot has already been the source of two "X-class" solar flares ("X" signifying the most extreme, or largest); the first, measuring an X1.4, on September 22, and the second, an X1.9, coming just two days later on Sept. 24.
The "extreme ultra-violet flash" was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).
SDO also captured a dark, shock wave racing away from the flare site. Astrophysicists believe it to be a sign that a coronal mass ejection (CME) had also occurred (see video below).
The AR has also seen several lower magnitude flares since the X1.9 blast, with M8.6 and M7.4 flares erupting on Sept. 24, and a second M8.8 flare early on Sept. 25.
None of the flares has been aimed at the Earth, but as the the Suns rotates the AR will orient itself more directly in-line with Earth. Will we be the "target" of one or more large flares? That of course is the question. AR 1302 remains active as it slowly turns towards us. Scientists are, so far, not making any guesses.
Predicting solar flares and CMEs is exceedingly difficult.
Recently, great progress was made on predicting the appearance of sunspots (which typically precede a flare) based upon the detection of acoustic wave patterns emanating from the solar interior (see my earlier article on this discovery). This new technique allows detection in as little as 24 hours in advance for some types of sunspots.
The presence of a sunspot does not guarantee a solar flare eruption (which does not, it turn, guarantee a CME), but they are related somehow. Perhaps soon, the method will be refined enough to determine which acoustic wave patterns indicate both a sunspot and a solar flare coupling.
VIDEO Below: Active Region 1302 unleashes an X1.9-category solar flare at 5:40 am EDT on Sept. 24, 2011. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash in composite wavelengths (211, 193, 171 angstrom). Across the top is a graph of the x-ray intensity during the flare as recorded by the GOES spacecraft. Note: The sun has been rotated 90 degrees clock-wise.
Solar flares and the CME's that often follow them are the main contributors to what's known as the solar wind, a continuous flow of high-energy, sub-atomic particles. This wind is what determines most of our local "space weather" and, during active solar periods, can make space dangerous for astronauts, communication satellites, and power grids down here on the planet's surface.
As to the long-term impact of increased solar flare activity on the Earth's climate, this is a big unknown, and the subject of some study, and much speculation.
Sunspots are the dark spots, often in pairs of oppositely electric charge, that emerge from the sun's interior with quasi-regular frequency, speckling the face of the sun. They are the loci of magnetically active regions caused by the blocking of convecting plasma fields from deep in the sun's interior. As a result, the surface temperature of the "spot" is actually cooler than the surrounding surface topology, an so appears darker.

We have been sharing prophetic messages about the coming major Solar Flares since mid 1990's when Spirit started to speak about it and give us visions. We had never paid attention to Solar Cycles prior to that time. It was in 2007 when we became aware of Solar Cycle 24. Some of the things that were revealed are really far out; we have shared this many times over the years.
Eye saw the Solar Flares having a positive and negative effect in ways Eye do not have the scientific terminology to explain. Eye saw the Solar flares - particles somehow assisting with our transformation to put on immortality and to activate the light body. Eye could see and yet see these "mysterious space particles" somehow interacting with our cells and DNA to bring healing and light. Here is the verse that was given to me over 12 years ago with the vision. "Unto those who reverence my name, shall the Sun of righteousness arise (awaken-solar storms) with healing in his wings (solar flares - CME's somehow assisting with physical healing). " Malachi 4:2 Some of you that yet have hard copies of Newsletters we used to send out will remember this. On the days of Solar Flares, we used to suggest people go outside and absorb the particles with intent for healing and transformation. That's the positive effects of this solar event.
On the other hand, we barely missed a direct hit last weekend from an X-class Solar Flare. X-class are the largest and most dangerous. However, in the article above, it seems like the Sun has adjusted itself to have us in its cross hairs for upcoming "direct hits". We don't suggest you go outside at all during an X-class : ) Based on what Spirit has been telling us, the Malachi 4 event of Solar Cycle 24 will greatly benefit many Believer and will not have the effect on them as others. The Revelation 8:7, 16:8-9 events of the same Solar Cycle 24 will have a negative effect on those that have not repented (paradigm shift-changed). "One-third of the earth was burned up, one-third of the trees was burned up, and all the green grass was burned up." "The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the Sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory."
So we see, when we look at both prophetic scriptures dealing with our time; there are two different outcomes. Lets look at what the Prophet Malachi said a bit closer, just to show he was speaking about extreme Solar activity.
"For, behold, the day comes, that shall burn as an oven (extreme heat from the Sun-CME's); and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that comes shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts. But unto you that reverence my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings." Malachi 4:1-2 One event with two outcomes.
Eye believe that the Creator knows how to make us "Fire Proof" or "Heat Proof". Eye believe that something wonderful is already happening within us now to prepare our bodies for the days ahead. Is there Scripture proof? YES!! "When you go through the fire, you will not be burned, neither will the flame kindle upon you." Isaiah 43:2 What about the (3) Hebrew boys in the fire and could not be burned? Fire Proof!!!!
Okay, but that's not the Sun, you might say. How can the Creator miraculously protect us from the Sun's Solar Flares - Corona Mass Ejections, when others all around are being affected? Did he not keep Israel in Egypt and no plagues came upon them?? Is He not the same yesterday, today and forevermore?!! Do you believe in the message of that "same" Jesus from 2000 years ago?! Here is a promise for you. Memorize at least part of this verse, the section in upper case, repeat it. Let it become an affirmation or chant.
"(Shall) I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keeps thee will not slumber . Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. THE LORD IS MY KEEPER, THE LORD IS THE SHADE UPON MY RIGHT HAND. THE SUN SHALL NOT SMITE ME BY DAY NOR THE MOON BY NIGHT. THE LORD SHALL PRESERVE ME FROM ALL EVIL, HE SHALL PRESERVE MY SOUL. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore." Psalms 121
Get ready to lift your hands and voices in celebration, worship and realization that all is always well. Turn up your volume:
Hallelujah!
