The TRUTH about the 2024 Solar Eclipse
The day of waiting has finally arrived – the 2024 solar eclipse (April 8, 2024). What a promising and exciting day ahead for all of us. The speculations by many Christians and others have been interesting. Some are predicting that this solar eclipse is the beginning of the end. To help, here are three excellent verses for you to consider as you enjoy the second full eclipse in the continental United States in seven years – but the last for hundreds. These verses certainly help you set the context for all the spectacular sights of the day. In them you will learn the truth about the 2024 Solar Eclipse.
Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
As you watch the sky today, observe the glory of God. There is a God, the Creator of the heavens and earth. He is powerful. Today, as you look upwards, you need to pause to consider the glory of the Creator God.
Matthew 6:22-23
The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
No doubt you will shield your eyes from damage today. Consider what the Bible has to say about how important your eyes are in life. They are useful for not only physical seeing, but Jesus used this metaphor to emphasize your heart. When you walk with Christ in your daily life, you enjoy the light that comes from Him. When you have a spiritual heart problem and there is no light, how great is that darkness! On a day you are concerned about your eyes and the eyes of all those watching with you, take a moment to reflect on your walk with Christ and your spiritual eyes.
Luke 21:25-28
And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars…Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.
The context of this passage of course has nothing to do with the eclipse; however it stands as a reminder of something that will happen in the future. There will be a day when the sun, moon, and stars proclaim the coming of Jesus Christ. As you look upward today to see the sun and moon align, remember that someday soon Jesus is coming again.
