Are the Blood Moons Significant? (Part One)
CGG Weekly by David C. GrabbeThe Bible references the moon turning to blood in several passages, with Joel 2:31 stating that the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and awesome day of the Lord. However, other scriptures, such as those in the sixth chapter of Revelation, describe the moon turning red as part of broader cosmic disturbances involving the sun, stars, and the sky itself, far beyond mere eclipses. These events, associated with the Sixth Seal, include the shaking of the heavens and the earth being moved out of its place, as mentioned in Haggai 2:6, 21, Matthew 24:29, and Isaiah 13:13. Such upheavals will disrupt the predictable orbits of heavenly bodies, rendering events like eclipses impossible to calculate in advance, unlike the current stability that allows precise predictions. Additionally, these cosmic signs follow the Fifth Seal's martyrdom and a time of unprecedented tribulation, indicating that the full scope of these heavenly signs is yet to come.
Different Signs of the Times
CGG Weekly by David C. GrabbeThere is a notable trend in the mainstream media and entertainment industry focusing on extraterrestrial beings and unidentified flying objects, stirring public imagination. Stories of UFO sightings, precise cattle mutilations, Big Foot sightings, and mysterious fireballs have surfaced in reputable outlets, reported in a neutral or slightly positive tone, which subtly implants these ideas in the public mind. The movie "Signs" introduces a unique perspective by incorporating both a sovereign God, providentially involved in His creation, and extraterrestrials, blending concepts previously kept separate. As interest in aliens and UFOs renews, it is crucial to remember that Satan's deceptions will increase as the end-time approaches, manipulating perceptions and beliefs. Meanwhile, Christ's return will be a spectacular event marked by heavenly signs, facing resistance from both human and supernatural forces. Those keeping God's commandments will be targeted by satan but protected by God amidst these cosmic deceptions and conflicts.
Will Aliens Invade the Earth?
Article by StaffThe heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork, as inspired words reveal that outer space is a witness to God's tremendous glory. Heaven and the highest heavens belong to the LORD Your God, affirming that outer space is His domain. Nothing happens in the vastness of the universe without His knowledge and approval. In contrast, satan, the deceiver, has a plan contrary to God's, conditioning mankind to believe in extraterrestrial life conspiring to destroy humanity and take over the earth. These real aliens, satan and his legions of fallen angels, dwell unseen on earth and travel through space, preparing mankind for the return of Jesus Christ and the heavenly host. In the end-time plan, satan will use signs in the heavens to deceive, as his false messiah performs miracles to convince the world of his divinity, and a demonic world power will call nations to unite against what they perceive as an alien invasion, but is truly the return of the true Messiah, Jesus Christ, to restore God's government on earth.

The End Is Not Yet
'Prophecy Watch' by Richard T. RitenbaughThe world has witnessed numerous crises, with natural and manmade disasters striking frequently, causing immense damage and loss of life. Amidst this turmoil, there are signs in the heavens that carry significant meaning. Jesus Christ Himself speaks of His second coming as a dramatic and unmistakable event, likened to a massive flash of lightning and a roll of thunder that will encompass the entire sky. His return will be a worldwide phenomenon that no one will be able to miss, occurring during a time of war. These signs are not secret or subtle; they are clear warnings and indicators of the impending return of the King of kings, as He comes in wrath and power to judge and establish His Kingdom. The Day of the Lord will be a time of darkness, marked by death and destruction, a great and dreadful day as foretold in prophecy. True Christians are urged to heed these signs embedded in recent disasters, to repent of their sins, and to draw closer to God in preparation for His glorious appearing.
Post-Historic Cave-Dwellers
'Prophecy Watch' by Charles WhitakerIn Revelation 6, the earthshaking events involving the sun, moon, and sky are so immense that they fill all with harrowing terror day and night. These signs in the heavens accompany God's initial judgments on those who have destroyed the earth, as well as His beneficial actions to terraform the planet, making it habitable for life as He created it. The notable men, driven underground at the end of satan's rule, become like cavemen, crying out irrationally to mountains and rocks to fall on them and hide them from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. They are overwhelmed by the great day of His wrath, left to wonder, who is able to stand? These celestial disturbances and the terror they inspire reveal the profound impact of God's power and the unfolding of His plan to restore the earth.
