What does the moon turning to blood and the sun being darkened signify in Scripture?
Following his question about the sieges, a viewer relays that, according to ChatGPT, the moon turned red, and Robert explains what the darkened sun and blood-red moon signify in prophetic Scripture.
Answer
You have to watch whether the stars are included. When Scripture says the sun will be darkened, the moon will turn to blood, and the stars will fall from the sky, that is apocalyptic language for the second coming, because the removal of the stars is the collapse of the universe (2 Peter 3:10-13, Matthew 24:29-31). But there are other passages where the stars are not mentioned and it only speaks of the sun darkened and the moon turned to blood. Those refer to the first coming. Acts 2:16-17 applies Joel's prophecy of the darkened sun and blood-red moon to Pentecost, which belongs to the unit of the death, resurrection, ascension, and Pentecost. And Luke 23:44-45 says the sun was darkened for three hours when Jesus died. If the sun is darkened, the moon that reflects it will be dark too, the darkest color they could name being blood, which we have actually seen in a lunar eclipse without any cataclysm. So: sun darkened and moon to blood, but stars still shining, is the first coming; add the falling stars and it is the second coming.
