“The Intriguing Moon”

It reads in (Matthew 24:23–28) So Jesus had been telling the disciples that He does not want His followers to be deceived about His return to earth. False prophets and false messiahs will claim that Jesus is back, possibly out of view somewhere. Jesus has said flatly that those claims will not even be worth investigating. No one on earth will have to wonder whether Christ has come back. It will be obvious that He has returned. (Matthew 24:29; 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 heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”) (Mark 13:24; “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,”) The Moon rotates on its own axis at the same rate that it orbits around Earth. That means we always see the same side of the Moon from our position on Earth. The side we don’t see gets just as much light, so a more accurate name for that part of the Moon is the “far side.” When the moon is full On Earth, our view of the illuminated part of the Moon changes each night, depending on where the Moon is in its orbit, or path, around Earth. When we have a full view of the completely illuminated side of the Moon, that phase is known as a full moon. I love seeing the full moon at night. I really like the harvest moon. Harvest Moon is one such subject that we are not very aware. Generally, the Harvest Moon occurs in the month of September or October, but it is influenced by the arrangement of the lunar cycle with the Gregorian calendar. After sunset around any full moon, the moon will always be near the horizon. It’ll just have risen. It’s the location of the moon near the horizon that causes the Harvest Moon – or any full moon, to look big and orange in color. The orange color of a moon near the horizon is a true physical effect. Orange Moon. At full moon, the Moon is almost on the opposite site of the Earth to the Sun although not quite all lined up. That means that to get to the Moon, light from the Sun has to skim through our atmosphere. “Moreover, the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord binds up the breach of his people and heals the stroke of their wound. Isaiah 30:26” There is so much more about the moon in the bible.
In Thessalonians 5:2-5 it reads the day of our Lord will come unexpectedly like a thief in the night. When people are saying, “All is well, everything is quiet and peaceful” then all of a sudden disaster will fall upon them as suddenly as a womans birth pains when her child is born. And these people will not be able to get away anywhere. There will be no place to hide. But dear brothers and sisters, you are ot in the dark about these things and you won’t be surprised as by a thief when that day of the Lord comes. For you are all children of the light and of the day, and do not belong to darkness and night.
{Let’s pray}
Father God, The Moon You created is so beautiful. I like how it looks like Your moon has sunglasses on. Lo! I am believing that many would repent and turn to You Jesus by trusting that Jesus shed His blood for the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting. I thank You and praise You that You are my God and Savior. I thank You and praise You for the grace You have shown to me and to all who trust in Christ for salvation. I thank You and praise You for Your faithfulness, even when I am faithless You stay faithful. I long to tune the ears of my heart. I thank You and praise You that You are always there to hold me steady when the enemy of my soul seeks to entrap me. More than anything I thank You for sending Jesus to be my Saviour and my Friend; my Way and my Life in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
