Stock Market Prognostication

 

Those of you that have been following my blog for several years know that I consider September 13, 2015 as a potential date for an economic/financial meltdown for global financial markets. (Go back and read my blog from November 19, 2012 entitled, “Mark this Date for Potential Economic/Financial Disaster.”)  September 13, 2015 marks the end of a “Shemitah (Sabbatical) Year”, which occurs every seven years and starts on September 25, 2014.  By the way, the greatest stock market crash, point wise, occurred on September 29, 2008, which was at the end of a Shemitah year.  Also, the stock market crash caused by the events of the infamous “9/11” tragedy occurred on September 29, 2001, which was at the end of a Shemitah year.  By the way, all these market declines occurred at the “end” of a Shemitah year.  Are these dates all coincidental with severe financial market crashes?  I don’t think so!  You may want to do your own research on what is meant by a “Shemitah Year” and its significance. 

What is very interesting for the upcoming Shemitah year is that it ends on September 13, 2015, which is the same date of a partial “lunar eclipse” and Yom Teurah.  Why are eclipses significant?  Usually, they portend to significant global events.  I guess a major stock market crash would be considered a significant event.  Also, from a Scriptural perspective, Genesis 1:14 states: “And Alahim (God) said, Let lights come to be in space of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them (moon and sun) be signs and appointed times, and for days and years.”  As a matter of fact, 2015 has three lunar eclipses [April 4 (Passover), September 13 (Yom Teruah, or Rosh Hashana), and September 28 (Sukkot)] and one solar eclipse on March 20. 

Will this prognostication of a market collapse occur?  Who knows, but at least we will know by the end of 2015.
