Signs in the Heavens
Betelgeuse
Introduction
The Great Dimming of Betelgeuse happened during the Plandemic and has been followed by a steady increase in tempo since. It seems almost symbolic of the state of the world. The globalists showed their hand during COVID and have been consolidating power since.
We know the Time of the End and the Day of the Lord are not far way, and these may include Betelgeuse going supernova.
Interestingly, the original of the name Betelgeuse, which is the shoulder of the constellation representing the Coming King in the Mazzaroth, may be translated 'the arm of the Lord' or 'the coming of the Branch'.

Isa 63:5 - I looked, but there was no one to help,
And I wondered
That there was no one to uphold;
Therefore My own arm brought salvation for Me;
And My own fury, it sustained Me.
‘In those days and at that time
I will cause to grow up to David
A Branch of righteousness;
He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
Coming Supernova
Astronomers have been watching Betelgeuse closely, since it's Great Dimming in 2020. A recent study by the University of Tokyo indicates that Betelgeuse could reach supernova within 10 years.
A Stunning Revelation Could Mean Betelgeuse Is Set to Blow
History of Measurements
American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) summarizes the history of measurements of Betelgeuse, also known as Alpha Orionis. It's the second brightest star in the the constellation Orion, after Rigel. It's interesting to note that a significant dip in brightness, similar to what was observed in 2019-2020, occurred approximately 72 years earlier around 1948, the year Israel became a nation.
Shrinking
The distance to Betelgeuse is difficult to determine from parallax (the change in apparent position in the sky) produced by the orbit of the Earth around the Sun, since it's brightness and shape vary on a cycle of approximately one year. In 1920, Betelgeuse was the first star diameter measured by Albert A. Michelson with his interferometer. Since that time, various attempts have been made to measure the distance to Betelgeuse, typically using parallax and various statistical methods to reduce error.
Nobel prize winning physicist Charles H. Townes (1915 – 2015), famous for helping invent the LASER, believed that Betelgeuse was shrinking, and at a rate secular astrophysicists were not willing to accept. Charles Townes was a Christian and believed that God created the universe. As a professor at UC Berkeley, Townes used the Infrared Spatial Interferometer (ISI) on Mt. Wilson to record the diameter of Betelgeuse from 1993 to 2008, showing that the diameter had shrunk more than 15% over 15 years.
If we assume, contrary to popular belief, that historical "distance" calculations were accurate and we order the calculated "distances" by year, we observe a relatively smooth increase. If the diameter of Betelgeuse is in fact decreasing as Townes believed, then this apparent increase in "distance" may in fact correlate to a decrease in diameter. Distance and apparent size are inversely proportional, so a column has been added showing "distance" values inverted (normalized to the first value) and proportional to diameter. We can see that these numbers show a decrease roughly in agreement with the 15% decrease measured by Townes between 1993 and 2008.
| Year | Distance (Light years) | Observation | Inverse Normalized (1/x) * 163 |
| 1920 | 163 | Albert A. Michelson | 100% |
| 1991 | 332 | 49% | |
| 1993 | 427, 495 (2007) | Hipparcos, revised Hipparcos | 33% |
| 2008 | 642 | Very Large Array | 25% |
| 2017 | 724 | ALMA and e-Merlin | 22% |
| 2020 | 548 | Coriolis satellite | 30% |
Could we be seeing the final collapse of Betelgeuse into supernova?
According to EarthSky.org, closer than 160 light years to a supernova could cause damaging effects to Earth. What if Michelson's distance calculation was correct and more recent calculations have been skewed by the shrinking diameter?
Matt. 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
