Eclipses Mentioned In The Bible

The Bible contains several references to eclipses, both solar and lunar. Let’s explore some of these passages:

Isaiah 13:10:

“For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not flash forth their light; the sun will be dark when it rises, and the moon will not shed its light.”

This verse speaks of celestial disturbances during a time of judgment and upheaval.

Ezekiel 32:7:

“And when I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.”

Here, the darkening of the sun and moon symbolizes divine judgment.

Joel 2:10:

“Before them the earthquakes, the heavens tremble, the sun and the moon grow dark, and the stars lose their brightness.”

Joel 2:31:

“The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.”

This verse emphasizes celestial phenomena heralding God’s intervention.

Matthew 24:29:

“But 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 the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”

Jesus speaks of cosmic disturbances during the end times.

Mark 13:24:

“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.”

Similar to Matthew 24, Mark highlights celestial signs.
