The "Blood Moon" Is Not About Biblical Prophecy

This week, a total lunar eclipse turned the moon a deep shade of red. As expected, the internet immediately exploded with speculation.

Some claim the “blood moon” is a prophetic warning related to Iran. Others point out that the eclipse occurred during the Jewish festival of Purim and suggest it signals a coming prophetic conflict with modern Persia. Still others claim this is the sign of the sixth seal in Revelation or proof that the end of history is about to unfold.

In other words, people are losing their minds.
