This Sixth Seal is a series of astronomical and geological signs that have been given to Apostle John by Jesus to document for future generations. These signs all potentially point to God’s astronomical clock within the Fig Tree generational time markers.
Hypothesis: Planetary perturbations may trigger solar activity and subsequent earthquakes.
SSGEOS predicted the Turkey/Syria earthquake using planetary alignment.
Is the Sixth Seal an “Early Warning” of a solar storm and its impact on the earth’s core and crust?
Is there a correlation between solar activity to Earth’s seismic activity?
Answer: YES - there is a very high probability that solar activity triggers earthquakes and volcanoes.
“The probability that it’s just by chance that we observe this, is very, very low — less than 1 in 100,000.”1
What if solar activity and planetary alignments are potential leading indicators to watch for earthquakes and volcanoes? Let’s look at a specific example in history and also review a recently released paper regarding this solar-to-seismic correlation based on 20 years of data.
The 1859 eruption of Mauna Loa
In the previous article, we reviewed the perfect solar storm:
Part 6: The Perfect Solar Storm - A Global Event
The last gigantic solar storm, known as the 1859 Carrington Event, occurred more than 150 years ago and was the most powerful such event in recorded history. There is a 10%+ chance of an earth-facing coronal mass ejection (CME). CME solar winds send charged protons at the earth causing the Northern Lights.
Did you know that there was a notable volcanic eruption in Hawaii in 1859? Yes in 1859, a year before the 1860 solar maximum of Solar Cycle 10, in the same year as the largest solar CME of 1859, which caused glowing red night skies from the Aurora Borealis and telegraph machines to spark and systematically fail, there was also a 300-day 32-mile volcanic eruption in Hawaii. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) states the following,
The 1859 eruption of Mauna Loa began in the evening of January 23… The eruption ultimately destroyed a coastal village and fishponds at Wainanali`i and Kiholo, on the west coast of the island.
This eruption is notable for several reasons. It is the most voluminous eruption in the post-contact period, and it produced a 52-km- (32-mile-) long lava flow, longest in the state. The eruption lasted for approximately 300 days, the second most lengthy of all Mauna Loa eruptions since the arrival of Europeans in Hawai`i…
…People reported that, during the early days of the eruption, the glow from the eruptive activity was sufficient to allow one to read newsprint in Waimea! People on the south side of Maui saw the glow from across the channel.2

Correlation of Solar Activity with Seismic Events

In July 2020, M. Groh, published “Powerful eruptions on the Sun might trigger earthquakes”, Astronomy, where she noted that powerful earthquakes often do not occur randomly but occur in clusters or groups and do not have an even distribution. Because earthquakes tend to occur in groups, scientists have suggested that something is triggering this worldwide phenomenon.5
Ms. Groh cites a paper that reviewed 20 years of data and their findings show a correlation between solar activity in our sun with seismic events on Earth. Above is a NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) image of our sun and below is a 3D earthquake view of our earth.

SOHO, which is located 900,000 miles (1.45 million kilometers) from Earth, keeps its sights set on the Sun, which helps scientists track how much solar material ends up striking our planet. By comparing the ISC-GEM Global Instrumental Earthquake Catalogue — a historical record of strong earthquakes — to SOHO data, the scientists noticed more strong earthquakes occurred when the number and velocities of incoming solar protons increased. Specifically, when protons streaming from the Sun peaked, there was a spike in quakes above magnitude 5.6 for the next 24 hours.
“This statistical test of the hypothesis is very significant,” De Natale says. “The probability that it’s just by chance that we observe this, is very, very low — less than 1 in 100,000.”
Giuseppe De Natale is the research director at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Rome and co-author of the new study.

We found clear correlation between proton density and the occurrence of large earthquakes (M > 5.6), with a time shift of one day. The significance of such correlation is very high, with probability to be wrong lower than 10–5. The correlation increases with the magnitude threshold of the seismic catalogue. A tentative model explaining such a correlation is also proposed, in terms of the reverse piezoelectric effect induced by the applied electric field related to the proton density. This result opens new perspectives in seismological interpretations, as well as in earthquake forecast.8
Below the scientists plotted the proton density with earthquake frequency over 15 days. Notice the earthquake events spiking before and after a spike in proton density. This is just one example of many noted by the scientists.

Paper’s Conclusion
This paper gives the first, strongly statistically significant, evidence for a high correlation between large worldwide earthquakes and the proton density near the magnetosphere, due to the solar wind. This result is extremely important for seismological research and for possible future implications on earthquake forecast. In fact, although the non-poissonian character, and hence the correlation among large scale, worldwide earthquakes was known since several decades, this could be in principle explained by several mechanisms. In this paper, we demonstrate that it can likely be due to the effect of solar wind, modulating the proton density and hence the electrical potential between the ionosphere and the Earth.
Although a quantitative analysis of a particular, specific model for our observations is beyond the scope of this paper, we believe that a possible, likely physical mechanism explaining our statistical observations, is the stress/strain pulse caused by reverse piezoelectric effects. Such pulses would be generated by large electrical discharges channeled in the large faults, due to their high conductivity because of fractured and water saturated fault gauge. The widespread observations of several macroscopic electro-magnetic effects before, or however associated to large earthquakes, support our qualitative model to explain the observed, highly statistically significant, proton density-earthquakes correlation.
It is important to note that our hypothesis only implies that the proton density would act as a further, small trigger to cause the fracture on already critically charged faults, thus producing the observed large scale earthquake correlation. Such a small perturbation would add to the main factor producing worldwide seismicity, which is tectonic stress.10
Question: What causes Solar Winds?
Sunspots increase during the Solar Maximum peaking in 2025. As we saw with the 1859 Carrington Event, we are overdue for another potential CME. In the previous article, we also noticed that there was a planetary alignment on September 1st, 1859. A planetary-comet alignment was highlighted in 2025 but there is another alignment that occurs a year earlier on April 10th, 2024.
What is special about April 10th, 2024? This is the 2nd Great American Solar Eclipse with the Sun-Moon-Earth alignment.

The 2020 research paper correlating proton density with large earthquakes continues to reveal the truth in the prophetic scriptures of Revelation 6:14.
Solar winds increase proton density in the atmosphere, which causes the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)

Personal Note: Let’s mutually pray for each other in the following areas…
To continue to stay alert and keep watch.
Don’t let this world distract you and take your eyes off the Lord.
Don’t be distracted by the idols of this world.
Worship Jesus Christ, the Lord Your God with all your heart, mind, and soul.
Pray and put on the Full Armor of God for this is the perseverance of the saints.
