Revelation 6 describes something vastly more dramatic than Thursday night’s eclipse. There is a great earthquake, the sun becomes black, the moon becomes like blood, stars fall from heaven, and the heavens themselves appear to recede.
Whatever the precise physical mechanisms behind those future events, Scripture portrays something unmistakable and terrifying. Humanity will not need to debate on social media about whether something unusual has occurred; the scale of the events described will make that obvious.
Thursday night’s eclipse isn’t that event, but imagine standing outside shortly after midnight and watching almost the entire moon become darkened and reddish. For a brief moment, millions of people will see something that visually resembles imagery God placed in His Word thousands of years ago.
That should make us think–not speculate wildly, set dates or declare that the sixth seal has been opened, but seriously consider what Scripture says is ultimately coming.
Because one day the passages Christians have studied for generations will cease to be merely prophetic descriptions of the future. One day the signs Jesus described will actually occur, and the world will experience events that cannot simply be dismissed as business as usual.
