Passion for Truth ministry leader Pastor Jim Staley, who pleaded guilty to defrauding elderly victims of millions of dollars in an investment scam in 2015, says he believes Monday’s total solar eclipse is a warning from God to America and is connected to the release of the sixth seal of the book of Revelation in the Bible.

“Americans have deep spiritual beliefs that total solar eclipses are either very bad omens and or bring a time of transition and rebirth. Throughout the Bible we see solar and lunar eclipses connected to events that surround major turning points on the timeline of mankind with most having to do with the end of time,” Staley said in a recent YouTube video that has already garnered nearly 4 million views.


In 2015, elderly victims and their relatives lashed out at Staley, as he was sentenced to seven years in federal prison and forced to pay $3.3 million in restitution to the investors he defrauded in an investment scam.

Staley pleaded guilty in April 2015 to four counts of fraud and confessed that he cheated others in the investment scam, from which he made $570,000.

The pastor's elderly victims, some of whom were slipping into dementia when he preyed on them, said they trusted him because he professed his Christian faith and family values, only to discover that he's a "disgusting and sickening criminal."

Anticipating the Aug 2024 Eclipse!
Center of the Land. X marks the spot?
Notice that the eclipse of 2024 will be going directly over Kirtland, Ohio and the Hill Cumorah. The eclipse of 2017 went right over Adam-Ondi-Ahman and Independence, Missouri. These are probably not just coincidences.

In year 16-18 AD, Lachoneus gathered all the people to the center of the land. 3 Nep 3:21-24. We believe the center of the land to be at the southern tip of Illinois. There is perfect protection with the Mississippi River on the west and the Ohio River or the Wabash River on the East. In the tip of Illinois is an escarpment and remains of old fortifications and walls all the way across. The article below talks all about those stone walls and fortifications of southern Illinois.

Deep beliefs prove nothing.

Beliefs so deeply rooted that you have to troll the intertnet to find those who espouse them.

That Mormon guy does run at the mouth/keyboard. Jeez. He claims to have an associate degree in general education from Ricks College. I’ve never heard of a degree in general education. I wonder how that works.

There is no eclipse in August of 2024.

Even his map shows the eclipse labeled April 2024.

So much for his "scholarship"

Marriage is hard enough. Throw Mormonism into the mix and it's no wonder your local ward looks like crazytown.

What about Brigham Young's legacy? There should be a class on polygamy like "How to marry and live with 56 wives".

I was there when a favored major was Child Development & Family Relations.

CD&FR majors were the original BYU "Mrs" degree-chasers.

There's an eclipse in the southern hemisphere in October of this year.

I stocked up in anticipation of the Eclipse. My freezer is full of meat and frozen vegetables, I bought gold bars at Costco (such a deal!), extra ammo, and my basement shelves are jammed with toilet paper.

During the Apocalypse, the very rich will retreat to their bunkers for safety. That's when we drop the snakes down their ventilation shafts.
