The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood

“The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.” Joel 2:31English Standard Version (ESV)

It is only during a solar eclipse that the sun literally turns to darkness as the sun’s light is blocked by the moon, and the moon would appear red.

Although this is a natural phenomenon, there is a strong possibility that this will be a sign of the Lord’s return.

However, a supernatural darkness could happen similar to the darkness that suddenly fell the moment the Lord Jesus died on the cross:

Matthew 27:45 “Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.” (ESV)

Eclipses happen somewhere around the earth every 18 months. The location varies, such that on a particular place, an eclipse can occur only once in hundreds of years.

It is possible that Joel prophesied an eclipse that would be focalized in Israel just before Jesus comes. If this is the case, it might be one of the signs of the Lord’s return.

Joel’s prophecy however, is not specific that the two events would occur simultaneously – the sun turning black and the moon turning red. We cannot discount the possibility that a supernatural phenomenon could happen that would block the light of the sun entirely, causing total darkness on the earth, and the moon to appear red - like “blood.”

The face of the moon appears red during a total lunar eclipse. God’s wisdom and power could make anything in precision at the right timing to bring to fulfillment what He had announced through His prophet:

Amos 3:7“For the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.” (ESV)

Jesus warned about this: (The Coming of the Son of Man)

Matthew 24:"29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. ³⁰Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (ESV)

Jesus prophesied that these things will take place at the end of the tribulation period before He returns to Earth.

There is a possibility that the divine judgments that will happen during the seven years of tribulation and the great tribulation would create a devastation of unprecedented proportions, both to humankind and the environment.

If a nuclear war happens, the appalling consequences might be the conditions that could make the sun appear dark and the moon red.

Regardless what happens, the appearance of the sun and moon will change, just as according to prophecy.

The prophet Joel’s words are clear: a darkened sun and reddish moon would be associated with God’s judgment shortly before the return of Christ to planet earth.

Are you struggling with a big decision or wondering how your eternal future will play out?

Why not talk to the God of the universe and let Him work in your behalf?

He says, “I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you" (Psalm 32:8).

Ask God to show you what to do. Pray the following prayer:

Heavenly Father,

I admit that I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from you. I now want to turn away from my past sinful life and begin a new life with you.

Please forgive me. I now receive your Son, Jesus Christ as my Savior, my Master and my Lord. I believe and confess that Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried, and rose from the dead.

I want to receive all that Jesus Christ has provided for me as my Savior. Your Word says, "Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).

I believe and confess that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes unto the Father, but by Him.

Lord Jesus, I pray and ask You, to come into my heart and be Lord of my life. I thank you that you have given me eternal life, and according to your Word, I am born again.

Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit that is in me now. I surrender my life to you. Use me for your glory.

In Jesus Name. Amen.

“All To You - I Surrender All”

Don Moen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3570nuRTKZg

lyrics

Chorus

All to you, All to You,

I give it all to You.

All to you, All to You,

I give it all to You.

I lay my life before You

Lord I surrender all

All that I have been through

I give it to You now

And though I have some questions,

Things I'll never understand

I come into Your presence

And I place them in Your hands.

(Repeat Chorus)

I know that You are faithful

That Your promises are true

Your mercy will sustain me

and Your grace will see me through

So i lift my hands before You

As a sacrifice and praise

I cast my cares upon You

and I come to You in faith

(Repeat Chorus)

I give it all to

I give it all to You

The Bigger One Is Coming

Todd Strandberg

There has been a growing interest in earthquake activity on social media.
.
I've run across several sites that speculate about where and when the next big earthquake will take place. Since a lot of people think quakes are triggered by each other, the recent earthquake in Alaska and Mexico have caused the focus of prognosticators to shift to the western coast of America.

The "Big One" has long been seen as a future earthquake of a magnitude of 8.0 or greater.

Scientists have predicted this seismic event will happen along the massive San Andreas Fault. Over the years, countless movies have been made that show the city of Los Angeles being leveled by this looming disaster.

However, the eruption of the San Andreas Fault may not live up to its anticipated blow-out reputation. The fault, at its closest point is 35 miles north of Los Angeles. Since the San Andrea runs through dryer and less populated areas of California, secondary faults like the Puente Hills Fault or the San Jacinto may be a greater risk to southern segments of the state.

Another limiting factor for a great calamity in L.A. is the California building code. Because the city is prone to large quakes, most structures are designed to withstand a major seismic event.

If a magnitude 5.0 trembler should strike the Hollywood area, it would be a one day news story. If a quake of the same strength were to strike the eastern coast of America, all kinds of damage would take place.

It is not easy to exactly determine America's most dangerous fault zone. The New Madrid fault is capable of shaking vast areas of the southern Mississippi valley. Because the bedrock of this fault is hidden beneath 100 - 200 foot thick layers of soft river deposited soils, we have no way to directly measure it.

The fault with the greatest threat to life is probably the Cascadia subduction zone. This fault is located about seventy miles off the Pacific Northwest Coast. It stretches seven hundred miles from California to Vancouver in Canada.

When the Cascadia Fault erupts, a mega-tsunami will sweep across the Pacific Ocean. We know from history that a tsunami event is the most deadly result of an earthquake. Very few people died from the shaking produced by the magnitude 9.0 earthquake that occurred off the coast of Indonesia in 2004, however, the waves generated by that quake killed 240,000 people.

A 9.0 earthquake on the Cascadia Fault would strike the Pacific Northwest coast with waves as high as 50 feet. Residents of many communities would have less than 20 minutes to find higher ground. Since we never had a major tsunami in North America, few people would know how to react if one struck.

A Cascadia earthquake would easily be the worst natural disaster in American history. FEMA projects that nearly 13,000 people will die. Another 27,000 will be injured, and the agency expects that it will need to provide shelter for a million displaced people.

The City of Seattle would be hit hard by the quake. It has the misfortune of being on soft soil and located on a shallow shoreline. Seattle area buildings that were not damaged by the seismic shaking would be at risk from the tsunami waves.

A key reason why the Cascadia Fault Zone comes to mind is because an earthquake on this fault is long overdue. Last month marked the 316-year anniversary of one of the greatest earthquakes on record along the Pacific Coast; the estimated 9.2 "Cascadia" quake that struck on January 26, 1700. Since a quake occurs on this fault once every 240 years, we are now 76 years past the average.

I have noticed that several fault zones around the world are strangely long overdue in producing a major earthquake. The San Francisco bay area; the U.S. Pacific Coast and southern segments of the state; Tokyo, Japan; Jakarta, Indonesia; the holy city of Jerusalem are all on borrowed time.

I can only guess that God is storing up wrath for the Tribulation hour. It is my hope that believers living in the Pacific Northwest will soon be transported to a higher ground that no tsunami can reach.

"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; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh" (Luke 21:8-11, 25-28).

Are you struggling with a big decision or wondering how your eternal future will play out?

Why not talk to the God of the universe and let Him work in your behalf?

He says, “I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you" (Psalm 32:8).

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit that is in me now. I surrender my life to You. . I promise to study Your Word – the Bible.

Use me for Your glory.

In Jesus Name. Amen.”

On bended knee I come

With a humble heart I come

Bowing down

Before your Holy throne

Lifting holy hands to you

As I pledge

My love anew

I worship you in spirit

I worship you in truth

Make my life

A holy praise

Unto you

On bended knee we come

With a humble heart we come

Bowing down

Lifting holy hands to you

As we pledge

Our love anew

We worship you in spirit

We worship you in truth

Make our lives

A holy praise

Unto you

Make my life

A holy praise
