The moon is a dead rock & Solar eclipses are just beautiful cosmic coincidences.
Partly True is still False. Astronauts have visited the moon. We know the composition of the moon’s surface. But when scientists tell us that the sun and moon function only as light giving gravitational tethers, they are lying.
Here is the whole truth according to the Bible:
“And GOD said let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.” Genesis 1:14-15 (KJV)
Eclipses are signs of coming judgement
It’s True. God set the sun and moon “…to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness.” Genesis 1:18 (NKJV). The purpose of a judge is to divide good from evil. Light and darkness are also allegorical references to good and evil. Nowhere is the division of good and evil, light and dark more obvious than during a total solar eclipse.
Should Christians look for signs?
YES. Absolutely. Jesus told his followers to watch for: “signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars” Luke 21:25(KJV)
Solar eclipses are for the Gentile nations; Lunar eclipses are for Israel.
False. This myth originates from the Babylonian Talmud which is not a divinely inspired text. Throughout history there have been many calamities that affected gentile kings following lunar eclipses and several solar eclipses spoke of the establishment of the modern state of Israel.
There have been 8 total solar eclipses to cross the United States since 1776!
Not 8 like many “YouTube prophets” are claiming after reading the Farmer’s Almanac. The true number is closer to 24.

There was a solar eclipse when Jesus was crucified
FALSE. A total solar eclipse can only occur during a new moon. The crucifixion occurred during Passover which begins on the 14th day after the new moon.
Wars always follow total solar eclipses.
False. Although it is quite common to have a war or battle follow an eclipse, God has several means by which he judges:
“For thus saith the Lord God; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?” Ezekiel 14:21 (KJV)
As believers, we should prayerfully consider both the reason and purpose of the coming judgment.
Seven "Salems" and seven "Nineveh's"
Misplaced Hope and Hype. Of the 7 “Salems” along the path of totality in 2017, one was a graveyard and Salem, Missouri wasn’t even on the path. A similar, story is circulating about 7 “Ninevehs” along the path of the April 8, 2024 eclipse.
