Solar Flare 2013
It is predicted, there will be massive Solar Flares in the year 2013. I have read numerous articles on the Internet regarding this subject and the general agreement is: a lot of communication failures, throughout the world.
If you want to do some studies on the topic, just type in Solar Flare 2013 and/or Solar Cycle 24 in the Search Section of your Search Engine. There are literally thousands of articles available to choose from.
I will do more research on the subject; because it is possible, this will be one of the causes, resulting in the process of starting the Great Tribulation Period. The timing of this event, in which the Syrian Antichrist will make use of, to start the attack of his Arab army into the Nation of Israel, could be the beginning of this Great Tribulation Period.
This event could result in worldwide communication failures and several massive flares could set the stage for large earthquake and volcanic eruptions, as these flares hit the earth's Van Allen Belts and the ionosphere.
I will add more links; as time permits.

What is a Solar Flare?
A flare is defined as a sudden,
rapid, and intense variation in brightness. A solar flare occurs when magnetic energy that has built up in thesolar
atmosphere is suddenly released.Radiationelectromagnetic
spectrum, from radio waves at
the long wavelength end,
through optical emission to x-rays and gamma rays at the short wavelength end. The amount of energy
released is the equivalent of millions of 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time! The first
solar flare recorded in astronomical literature was on September
1, 1859. Two scientists, Richard C. Carrington and Richard
Hodgson, were independently observing sunspots at the time, when they viewed a large flare in white light.
As the magnetic energy is being released,
particles, including electrons, protons, and heavy nuclei, are heated
and accelerated in the solar atmosphere. The energy released
during a flare is typically on the order of 1027ergs per second. Large flares can emit up to 1032
ergs of energy. This energy is ten million times greater than the
energy released from a volcanic explosion. On the other hand, it
is less than one-tenth of the total energy emitted by the Sun
every second.
There are typically three stages to a solar
flare. First is the precursor stage, where
the release of magnetic energy is triggered. Soft x-ray emission
is detected in this stage. In the second or impulsive
stage, protons and electrons are accelerated to energies
exceeding 1 MeV. During the impulsive stage, radio waves, hard
x-rays, and gamma rays are emitted. The gradual build up and
decay of soft x-rays can be detected in the third, decay
stage. The duration of these stages can be as short as a few
seconds or as long as an hour.
Solar flares extend out to the layer of the
Sun called the corona. The corona
is the outermost atmosphere of the Sun, consisting of highly
rarefied gas. This gas normally has a temperature of a few
million degrees Kelvin. Inside a
flare, the temperature typically reaches 10 or 20 million degrees
Kelvin, and can be as high as 100 million degrees Kelvin. The
corona is visible in soft x-rays, as in the above image. Notice
that the corona is not uniformly bright, but is concentrated
around the solar equator in loop-shaped features. These bright
loops are located within and connect areas of strong magnetic
field called active
regions. Sunspots are located within these active
regions. Solar flares occur in active regions.
The frequency of flares coincides with the
Sun's eleven year cycle. When the solar cycle is at a minimum,
active regions are small and rare and few solar flares are
detected. These increase in number as the Sun approaches the
maximum part of its cycle. The Sun will reach its next maximum in
the year 2011, give or take one year.
