"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;" Luke 21:25

This post highlights his words in Luke 21:25-28, and an example in recorded ancient history of a solar eclipse that synchronized with various and increasing calamities, plagues, and political upheaval. It concludes with harmonizing prophecy passages being fulfilled, a future forecast, and the good news of salvation for eternal life through Jesus Christ.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16

Astronomy in the Bible

Genesis 1:14 provides some of the earliest accounts of creation: "Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;"

Psalm 19:1-4 states; "The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world. God has made a home in the heavens for the sun."

Biblical prophecy illustrated: A vivid depiction of the coming of the Son of Man with divine signs in the skies, as described in Luke 21:25-28, symbolizing hope and redemption amidst global turmoil.

"The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.” - Acts 2:20 

Jonah & the Eclipse of Ancient Nineveh

"Over 2700 years ago another eclipse appeared over the skies of ancient Assyria, and it may have played a key role in the ancient city of Nineveh’s turn to God in repentance. If the historical and astronomical calculations are correct, it means that the eclipse occurred when Assyria was in a time of national upheaval and internal turmoil.” "In addition [to being in political upheaval], plague and famine struck repeatedly until the empire was left impoverished and in total disorder."
