And when they occur, they should remind us of that humble reality. In this sense, the apocalyptic language of Revelation and other passages about a blood moon serve as reminders because these events (i.e., lunar eclipses) will happen. And there will be a reckoning before God that every person should take seriously. All injustices that exist will be made right by a just God. When Christ returns, the Bible teaches that the Devil and all forms of evil will be wiped from the face of the earth. Even more, the Bible does teach that human history as we know it ends when Jesus Christ. However, before God supernaturally recreates the world and makes everything as it ought to be, the world that we know will pass away. The Bible presents the new world as one that knows no war, no division, no ecological or humanitarian crises, no evil, and no death or dying. Revelation teaches that it will be a new world existing in a new kind of life and perfection with God. The Bible does teach that this world will pass away and be made new. To say that the Bible does not teach there will be an end to human history and the world as we know it would be to change the biblical message. Should the blood moon remind us that the story of human history will come to an end?īiblically speaking, yes.
While the Bible does teach there will be an end to time and the world as we know it, the sensationalized, fear-mongering perspective is not the full meaning that the Bible’s apocalyptic literature is trying to convey. events into different codes that need to be deciphered, tetrads to be counted, and blood moons that will change everything as we know it.ĭoes the blood moon (or solar or lunar eclipse) mean the END OF THE WORLD in this manner? In short, no. Then the prophets of doom make headlines because they sensationalize these various geological, astrological, etc. These prophets of doom look for signs of the times: snakes coming out of the wailing wall, red calves being born, shift in the earth’s magma river, seismic events in Alaska, increasing tremors at Yellowstone (since it’s a super volcano), and even solar and lunar eclipses as their sources for the doom and gloom of the last days. This perception comes from prophets of doom who look to the sun, moon, and stars as sources of their prophetic insights. The phrase “blood moon” is often popularly thought of like a scene from Roland Emmerich’s movie 2012, or worse. Does the blood moon mean the END OF THE WORLD?
