Once again, neither a lunar nor a solar eclipse is a sign of judgment, no matter what these loony false prophets say.
Because the Gentiles go by the sun for their calendar, a solar eclipse represents judgment coming upon a nation.
A lunar eclipse, because Israel goes by the moon, refers to judgment coming upon Israel. That's not anywhere in the
Bible. But what about where it says the sun will be darkened and the moon turned to blood before the great and awesome day of the
Lord? These are references to supernatural signs in the heavens, but eclipses are natural and calculable.
NASA has mapped every eclipse that will occur for the next 1 ,000 years. They know exactly where they will be visible from down to the mile and how long their duration will be down to the second.
How are they able to do that? Because they're prophets? No, and neither are these other guys claiming eclipses are signs of judgment.
God created the sun and the moon for signs and seasons. Signs in this context meaning memorial or holy days.
So since they mark time, they run like, well, clockwork. Psalm 8 -3 says, I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have set in place.
Psalm 104 -19 says He made the moon to mark the seasons. The sun knows it's time for setting.
Eclipses are not signs of judgment, they are a wondrous spectacle of God's created order. John 3 -19 says the appearing of Christ is the sign of judgment, so repent and worship
Him before He appears a second time to judge mankind. But if the Lord tarries, expect the next eclipse to happen on time as God ordained it when we understand the text.
