400 YEAR ECLIPSE?
Genesis 15:13-15King James Version (KJV)
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
The diameter of the moon being 400 times smaller than the diameter of the sun, and the sun being almost 400 times more distant from earth than the moon is distant from earth, gives the angular view of an eclipse that seems to be more purposeful not coincidental.
