According to Pastor Paul Begley, an evangelist from Indiana, last night’s partial solar eclipse inspired some… demonic forces, says Express.
As the moon passed in front of the sun, the Pastor revealed (in a one hour, 54 minute long sermon) that the eclipse over Tasmania, Australia, and Antarctica would be particularly dangerous.
“You’ve heard of the Tasmanian Devil, well demonic forces will be at play because this is a Friday the 13th partial solar eclipse,” the Pastor said.
“Well I’m telling you the demon forces will be out on Friday the 13th.”
“It’s also a very high Satanic ritual day.”
Pastor Paul Begley is a well-known conspiracy theorist, and recently called the devastating floods in Japan “Apocalyptic Weather” on Twitter.
According to National Geographic, a partial eclipse occurring on Friday the 13th hasn’t happened in 44 years, and the next one won’t be until 2080. The publication also shared that due to the close proximity to Earth, last night’s moon was, in fact, a supermoon.
While Pastor Paul Begley’s prophecies are, ergh, convincing… considering it is now Saturday the 14th and the eclipse passed without any known harm, he may have missed the mark with his conspiracy this time.
But that’s okay, because the theorist has also said that the Blood Moon that will occur on July 27 could be the end, since it is apparently discussed in the Biblical Book of Joel, Book of Revelation and Acts, so we can all remain calm and see if his theory comes to light next time.

Yeah, Friday 13th orginates from Europe. When the French Templar Knights hauled off on I think the Second (Third?) Crusade the government looked after their lands and estates for them. When they came back the government decided they liked owning their property so conspired to accuse them all of heresy, the only crime they had on the books to legally strip them of their titles. They then were all tortured to death. 500 years later they still do this in Venezuela and other worker paradises.
As for where the moon is, this only matters to adults unable to accept responsibility for their own lives and decisions.
Has anyone explained to him that a Tassie Devil is not actually a demon from hell? Coz I don’t think he knows.
