Something truly extraordinary is going to happen as the Great American Eclipse of 2024 passes over the United States, and hardly anyone is talking about it.  Those who follow my work on a regular basis have already heard much of what I am about to share with you in this article, and I apologize to them in advance.  But I feel compelled to write about this again because the information that I am about to share with you is incredibly explosive and so few people know about it.  My hope is that if I make enough noise about all of this, it will inspire others to make videos and write articles about these giant crosses.

A 111-foot tall cross stands where the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will intersect with the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2017 on April 8th.

And a cross that is 77 feet and 7 inches tall stands where the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will intersect with the path of the “Ring of fire” solar eclipse of 2023 on April 8th.

Is it just a coincidence that 2 giant crosses stand at the intersections of these eclipses?

I don’t think so.

I believe that only God could have orchestrated this.

On April 8th, an area in southern Illinois known as “Little Egypt” that was plunged into darkness by the Great American Eclipse of 2017 will also be plunged into darkness by the Great American Eclipse of 2024.

This particular area of southern Illinois has been known as “Little Egypt” since the very early days of our country…

In 1799, Baptist minister John Badgley dubbed the fertile highlands and bottoms near Edwardsville the “Land of Goshen“. Early Edwardsville was known as Goshen. This was a biblical reference to Ancient Egypt. Geographic features such as the Mississippi and its flood plains were like the fertile Nile valley. The Indian mounds of the area were large at the time and seemed like the pyramids of Egypt. The nickname stuck, and it was reinforced by other events.

In the 1830s, poor harvests in the north of the state drove people to Southern Illinois to buy grain.^[16] Others say it was because the land of the great Mississippi and Ohio River valleys were like that of Egypt’s Nile Delta. According to Hubbs,^{[citation needed]} the nickname dates back to 1818, when a huge tract of land was purchased at the confluence of the rivers and its developers named it Cairo /ˈkɛəroʊ/. Today, the town of Cairo still stands on the peninsula where the Ohio River joins the Mississippi.

Other settlements in the area were also given names with Egyptian, Greek, or Middle Eastern origins: The Southern Illinois University Salukis sports teams and towns such as Metropolis, Thebes, Dongola, Palestine, Lebanon, New Athens, Sparta, and Karnak show the influence of classical culture.

In the heart of “Little Egypt”, there is a gigantic white cross.

It is known as “The Bald Knob Cross of Peace”, and it is 111 feet high…

Bald Knob Cross, officially known as the Bald Knob Cross of Peace, is a large white cross located in Alto Pass, Illinois, United States.^[1] The structure is 111 feet (34 m) tall. The base of the cross is 1,034 feet above sea level and overlooks the Shawnee National Forest. Originally completed in 1963, the cross itself stands 111 feet tall, is 22 feet square at the base, 16 feet square at the top and its arms extend 63 feet horizontally. The exterior white panels covering the cross are 4-inch architectural flat insulated metal panels while the base portion is covered in granite approximately 4-inches thick. The structure sits on a foundation of 730 tons of reinforced concrete that goes down 20 feet to bedrock. The steel framework weighs approximately 170 tons. Each of the four sides of the cross have a word inscribed into the granite: Peace, Hope, Faith, Charity.^[2]

As the Great American Eclipse of 2024 completes the gigantic “cross” over America that the Great American Eclipse of 2017 started, a gigantic cross that is 111 feet tall will be standing at the intersection of those two eclipses.

If you aren’t amazed by that, I honestly don’t know what to say.

But that isn’t the end of the story, because there is more.

As the Great American Eclipse of 2024 completes the gigantic “cross” over America that the “ring of fire” solar eclipse of 2023 started, a gigantic cross that is 77 feet and 7 inches tall will be standing at the intersection of those two eclipses.

It is known as “The Empty Cross”, and it is in the Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden in Kerrville, Texas…

The 77′ 7″ hollow cross sculpture at this site has been seen by millions of people traveling on Interstate 10, connecting California and Florida. Countless others have learned about this unique spiritual art garden through various media channels. Remarkably, the paths of the Oct. 14, 2023, Annular Solar Eclipse and the April 8, 2024, Total Solar Eclipse converge deliberately. Many believe this convergence, forming a colossal cross in the sky directly above “The Empty Cross,” is not a random occurrence but a divine sign—a message from the Creator Himself.

You literally cannot miss this cross when you are traveling on Interstate 10, because it is absolutely enormous.

If you are not familiar with “The Empty Cross”, here is some information from the official website of the Coming King Sculpture Prayer Garden…

The Empty Cross”™ is a seven-story Cor-ten steel sculpture by artist/evangelist, Max Greiner, Jr. This stunning signed and numbered edition Cor-ten sculpture was donated to THE COMING KING FOUNDATION by Max and Sherry Greiner, and Monte and Beverly Paddleford, owners of Eagle Bronze Foundry in Lander, WY. This unique contemporary sculpture was installed on top of a 1930’ hilltop above IH-10 on July 27, 2010.

“The Empty Cross”™ is believed to be the most symbolic cross sculpture in the world because of its Biblical symbolism. The massive open hollow cross symbolizes the Resurrection, the Door, the Narrow Gate, the Strong Tower, the Mighty Fortress, and the Light of the World, who is Jesus Christ. God sees mankind through the cross while mankind can only see the true God by looking at the cross.

And as all of this is happening, the sun, the moon, and the other seven planets in our solar system will be lined up in the sky.

I shared the following graphic that was originally posted on Reddit yesterday, but I am going to share it one more time so that you can see exactly what I am talking about…

That is pretty amazing.

To top everything off, as the Great American Eclipse of 2024 is passing over America, the sun will already be down in Jerusalem and the first day of the first month on the Hebrew calendar will have begun.

Can you believe that there are actually some people out there who think that none of this has any significance whatsoever?

The heavens are literally screaming at us to pay attention.

Ultimately, I am entirely convinced that the Great American Eclipse of 2024 is meant to point us to Jesus and the cross, but the vast majority of the population seems to be completely missing that point.
