I'm a bit late to the party..... Tomer Devorah has already pointed out the 40 day sign: 40 days plus one since the total solar eclipse, and the Iranian President is incinerated in a helicopter crash.
At the time of the eclipse, people pointed out that the date of 4/8 as written in America [in Australia we would write it as 8/4] corresponds with Chapter 4, Verse 8 of the second book of the Bible [as they call it] - Shemot
4:8 And it will come to pass, that if they do not believe you, and they do not heed the voice of the first sign, they will believe the voice of the last sign.Rashi comments: When you tell them, “Because of you I was stricken, because I spoke ill of you,” they will believe you, for they have already learned that those who trespass against them are stricken with plagues, such as Pharaoh and Abimelech, [who were punished] because of Sarah.
So it's a warning to the world, to those who attack the Jewish people in some way, and indeed one day after the 40 days was up, the Iranian President was obliterated - midda kneged midda - he said there would be "nothing left" of Israel, and there was nothing left of him.
So that is the first sign, as far as I'm concerned.
And if they do not heed the voice of this sign, they will believe the voice of the last sign.
I'm not sure why some commenters are attacking Devorah Chayah in the comments of her post. In one of her responses she wrote "the constant recognition of possibility is what keeps me going" - and I totally agree with that. Hope and possibility is also what keeps me going.
Anyway, she was right when she blogged about the 40 days.... and I think she's right again. But please don't attack me, it's not good for my mood.
