Signs in the heavens?
Signs? There are those that believe any time there is a red moon or an eclipse that there is some significance to the last days involved according to Bible prophecy. That may be true; I don’t know. But for me it first reminds me of the beauty of God’s creation. There is such marvelous design in the universe. Secondly, it does remind me that Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God has promised to return. Then He will make all things new. I long for a world where there are no tears, no pain, no sin or angst.
I believe that world is coming because the Son of God has started it in my heart being transformed by His Grace. His death and resurrection has accomplished something mysteriously redemptive. Somehow by it, I can trust in God and receive forgiveness of sin, which causes all the horrors of this world. He puts His divine Spirit in me and I begin to change into the likeness of the ultimate Human and thereby become more and more what I was meant to be. This is available to any who will put their trust in Him. Will you? I can only hope and pray you will. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. And we long for His coming to be fulfilled!
Signs? Maybe, but maybe the sign has already been given. At the end of the Apostles Creed we recite as Christians:
“…From thence he shall come again to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, I believe in the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.” https://www.ccel.org/creeds/apostles.creed.html

This means not only shall Jesus come back and raise us from death, but he shall give us everlasting life. It also implies that He shall make a whole new Earth and Heaven, which the Bible also teaches. What good news that is!
