On Monday, March 25, 2024, the sun, earth and moon will perfectly align, creating a penumbral lunar eclipse two weeks before a total solar eclipse
transverses the continental U.S.
WND spoke with Pastor Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries about the celestial events. Biltz deeply understands the connection between eclipses
and biblical holidays…
While the science is clear, Biltz emphasizes that the deeper significance of these phenomena is biblical…
"The number one reason for an eclipse is to be a sign," he explained. "It is a sign that is beyond man's control, something he cannot manipulate."…
Pastor Biltz emphasized that the Hebrew calendar must be studied to understand the significance of these celestial signs.
"Our Gregorian calendar is based only on the sun. It's a great calendar, very scientific, but it's not the one God uses," he emphasized. "God said to
let both the sun and the moon determine the times. And we can only have a total lunar eclipse or a solar eclipse on a full moon...
"Ecclesiastes tells us that there is a time for everything, but by using a solar calendar, most of Christianity's plucking at planting time and planting at plucking time, because they don't know what time it is," Biltz said. "They don't know what the season is."
