The date of a lunar eclipse in A.D. 33 has been determined by NASA scientists to potentially identify the day of Jesus’ crucifixion.
God commanded, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night,” according to Genesis 1. Allow them to exist for signs, seasons, days, and years.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that there would be at least one sign in the sky to commemorate Jesus’ death as a sacrifice for humanity’s sins.
NASA’s “astronomical models suggest that a lunar eclipse turned the moon red over Jerusalem on Friday, April 3, 33 AD — a date many scholars tie to Jesus’ death,” according to the New York Post.
The passage “Now from the sixth hour [noon] there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour” appears in Matthew’s Gospel, chapter 27.
The night of Jesus’ death, however, was marked by a blood moon in addition to this daytime gloom, according to extra-biblical accounts.
