Are Eclipses Signs of Judgment?

Image
Once again, neither a lunar nor a solar eclipse is a sign of judgment, no matter what these loony false prophets say. Mark Blitz on the Jim Bakker Show: "Because the Gentiles go by the sun for their calender, a solar eclipse represents judgment coming upon a nation. A lunar eclipse, because Israel goes by the moon, refers to judgment coming upon Israel." That's not anywhere in the Bible. But what about where it says that the sun will be darkened and the moon turned to blood before the great and awesome day of the Lord? There are references to supernatural signs in the heavens. But eclipses are natural and calculable. NASA has mapped every eclipse that will occur for the next 1,000 years. They know exactly where they will be visible from down to the mile, and how long their duration will be, down to the second. How are they able to do that? Because they're prophets? No! And neither are these other guys claiming eclipses are signs of judgment. God created the...

Is an Eclipse a Sign from God?

An eclipse has never been a sign of any prophecy. You will not find eclipses as signs of judgment anywhere in the Bible. False prophet Jonathan Cahn, bestselling author of the Harbinger, loves pointing to signs in the sky, but even he admits they have no prophetic significance. "The solar eclipse. Can God do something? Yes. Does God have to do something? No. These things can be signs of judgments or other things, but they can also be just a regular day, so be ready either way." But if that's the case, he loses credibility. So in the same video, he goes back to saying these things do mean something and he's got a book coming out about them. "The Bible says the stars, these things are signs, but what are they signs of? The Paradigm is going to be released. This is the most explosive book I've ever written. It's very much like The Harbinger. The Master Blueprint of what's happening now. It touches everything." The people came to Jesus and ...

West Wing Bible Lesson?

President Josiah Bartlet on the television show The West Wing, from season 2, episode 3: "I like how you call homosexuality an abomination [Leviticus 18:22]. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I have you here. I'm interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She's a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be? "While thinking about that, can I ask another? My chief of staff Leo McGarry insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or is it okay to call the police? Here's one that's really important, because we've got a lot of sports fans in this town. Touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean, Leviticus 11:7. If they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? "D...

What Does the Bible Say About Taking Care of the Environment?

Hey, have you heard? The polar ice caps are melting! We're all going to drown! Aaaahhh! Wait, God already said He wasn't going to do that again (Genesis 9:11). But the consumer-driven church still gets sucked into phony environmentalism, which has been branded "Creation Care." Zondervan has published the Green Bible, which teaches us how... creation cares for us? That's panentheism! The forward was written by an Anglican priest who says there are parts of the Bible we need to ignore. (So did Zondervan remove those parts from their Bible?) The Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) has spearheaded a national "What Would Jesus Drive?" effort. Rick Warren along with nearly 100 evangelical leaders and about 40 Christian college presidents called for federal legislation to reduce CO2 emissions because that's loving your neighbor. According to the book, The Compassionate Community: Ten Values to Unite America (pg. 195): This same group's Ev...
