That Old Devil Moon

[packman]

a Christian radio host claimed that Monday’s total eclipse of the sun may be a “message” from God.

Bryan Fischer, host of a Christian radio show called “Focal Point,” posted on Facebook that the Bible states the sun and moon serve as “signs.”

Then, he attempted to interpret those signs like a fortune

leader of AnGeL Ministries in North Carolina and daughter of famed evangelist Billy Graham ― also warned the eclipse could be a signal of darker things.

She wrote:

“The celebratory nature regarding the eclipse brings to my mind the Babylonian King Belshazzar who threw a drunken feast the night the Medes and Persians crept under the city gate. While Belshazzar and his friends partied, they were oblivious to the impending danger. Belshazzar wound up dead the next day, and the Babylonian empire was destroyed.”

Lotz said she doesn’t view the eclipse as “celebratory” as a result.

“While no one can know for sure if judgment is coming on America, it does seem that God is signaling us about something,” she wrote. “Time will tell what that something is"

6. Not that far off from some of the crazy theories people have posted here

It's times like this that remind me that many humans aren't far removed from banging sticks and screeching at the sky god with fear.

People still get conned by magicians and fortune tellers in 2017. It's frustrating.

10. Every 2 years, an eclipse falls somewhere on earth, why would the USA bring a sign or rapture?

12. My neighbor considered this Eclipse as an omen...

when we had a brief talk about it last week. She began this spiel about people rejecting some almighty lord and sinning having consequences but then, when big floods entered the conversation, I stopped listening and told her that the Moon has been overshadowing the Sun countless times over the eons and Earth's star has continued rising and setting for over four and half billion years, so I'm not much worried about the Moon's shadow being a precursor of anything. She uttered one yabut, before I ended our discussion by saying that there's more power in that Sun up there than any man-made gods people have invented.

She's known for decades that I think she's a tad silly, just as she thinks I'm gonna burn for eternity, but we get along.
