A superflare.

Is this what might be “sent to earth”?

One wonders, for it does occur periodically and could be planet-changing (to put it mildly).

It was the headline recently on a site called “Live Science,” which said: “Observations made using a new method have revealed that sun-like stars produce cataclysmic superflares once every hundred years. Could our sun create one soon?”

And then said, “Superflares are solar megastorms thousands of times more powerful than regular solar flares, capable of wreaking incalculable damage as they fry electronics, wipe data servers and send satellites tumbling from space. Past studies, made by observing stars similar to our own, suggested that superflares likely happened once every few thousand years. But now, a new study of 56,000 sun-like stars has revealed that stars like ours may experience powerful superflares much more often than we thought — roughly once every century. ”

The study originated in the prestigious journal Science.

There could be untold results.

Perhaps it would simply interrupt electromagnetism and radio waves. A major one in 1859 (the “Carrington Event”) shut down telegraphs and even caused some to spark with fire.

That was long before the delicate and now vital network called the internet. Imagine it going down—for days, weeks, or months.

It could happen.

Think about how fantastically reliant we have become on electronic communication.

A web indeed. And, indeed, a brittle one.

It all calls to mind Fatima, which prophesied events in three secrets. One of those had to do with a “great sign” that visionary Lucia dos Santos interpreted as having occurred in 1938 when a solar eruption flare caused dazzling displays of the northern lights across Europe and North America, disrupting radio communication then also and auspicating the onset of world war.

There was the famous Third Secret that, from what we can tell, has not yet (at least in full) occurred.

“After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand,” wrote Sister Lucia. “Flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendor that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!'”

Sounds very much like another, but far greater, event than the northern lights in 1938.

Perhaps put it on your prayer list.

“Some evidence, such as sudden spikes in radiocarbon levels found inside ancient tree rings, suggests that our sun could be capable of producing flares hundreds of times stronger than the Carrington Event,” notes Live Science. “If pointed toward Earth, these storms could prove to be disastrous.”
