Strange Phenomena in the Sky

The seven-year prophesied End Times described in the Bible presents a series of strange, surreal, and apocalyptic phenomena that represent both divine judgments and cosmic upheaval.

Blood Moon, Full Eclipse

From the Tanakh:

Scriptures: Isaiah 13:10 , Ezekiel 32:7 Joel 2:10

According to NASA [1], a blood moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse. They are normal celestial phenomena. However, when prophets Isaiah 13:10, Ezekiel 32:7, and Joel 2:10 prophesied the unusual celestial phenomena in the End Times, they prophesied with a similar message: the sun, moon, and stars will be darkened and will not glow.

From the New Covenant:

Scripture: Revelation 6:12-17

God’s vision for Yochanan is similar to that of the above prophets. More unusual natural disasters will be coming, such as a great earthquake, the sun turning dark, the full moon turning to blood, the stars falling, the sky being rolled up, and the mountains and islands shifting, all of which indicate that nature will be unusually changing and moving its position (Rev 6:12–17).

Hail and Fire Will be Thrown Upon the Earth

From the New Covenant:

Scripture: Revelation 8:6-7

The hail and fire are going to cause serious damage to plants on earth. The destruction of plants will cause ecological damage, and although we always see unprecedented sizes of hail and wildfires around the globe, in the End Times, this will happen in an unprecedented way.

Something Like a Huge Mountain Ablaze With Fire Will be Thrown into the Sea

From the New Covenant:

Scripture: Revelation 8:8-9

The above prediction sounds like an asteroid, a nuclear bomb, or a super volcanic eruption like Yellowstone. We do not know specifics, but the scripture mentions that there will be a huge fireball like a mountain falling into the sea, one-third of the living things in the sea will die, and one-third of the ships will be destroyed. You may be surprised that about 90% of world-traded goods, including food supplies, are transported by sea [1]. In other words, the sea transportation industry will be greatly affected because one-third of the ships will be destroyed. In this way, the traded goods, the food supply, and especially the seafood will be dramatically cut off. Hence, more famines will be coming.

A Great Star Called Wormwood Will be Fallen, Burning Like a Torch

From the Tanakh:

Scripture: Jeremiah 9:15

Our prophet Jeremiah 9:15 warned us that God’s judgment includes wormwood.

According to our Jewish rabbi Rashi’s commentary, wormwood means bitter grass [1].

From the New Covenant:

Scriptures: Revelation 8:10-11

Besides the goods and food supplies, Yochanan in Rev 8:10–11 explains how wormwood will affect the world. Water supplies will be greatly cut off as a great star called Wormwood falls from the sky, polluting a third of the rivers’ and springs’ water. The water will turn bitter, which means it will be poisonous. Many people will die from the water shortage.

People will Live in Darkness

From the Tanakh:

Scriptures: Isaiah 13:10 , Ezekiel 32:7 , Joel 2:10

The prophets in the Tanakh prophesied about this abnormal phenomenon (Isaiah 13:10, Ezekiel 32:7, Joel 2:10). One-third of the sun, moon, and stars will be struck, losing their function, and the earth will become darker because of it. On top of the previous disasters, the earth will be severely damaged, and people will greatly suffer.

From the New Covenant:

Scripture: Revelation 8:12-13

Yochanan in Rev. 8:12-13 prophesied that there is a similar abnormal phenomena in the sky. A third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars will be struck, so that a third of them will be darkened. A third of the day will not shine, as well as a third of the night. That means cold weather will be the norm in this disastrous period and the earth will become darker and colder because of it.

The Sun will be Scorching

From the New Covenant:

Scripture: Revelation 16:8-9

The sun will scorch people with fire and fierce heat, and the people will still curse the name of God without repentance.

Previously, one-third of the sun, moon, and stars were struck, losing their function, and the earth became darker, and cold weather would have lasted a while. However, later, the sun will become very hot, and its heat will make people feel like they are being roasted. It is a pity that people do not repent and still blaspheme God.
