There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;
The sun, moon, and stars will display special signs visible from Earth to signal upcoming apocalyptic events.

The cited passage
What current science says
The sun is a ball of hydrogen plasma 150 million km away, fusing atoms and completely indifferent to human affairs. The moon is a rocky satellite reflecting sunlight. Stars are other suns, many already dead by the time their light reaches us — some 'stars' you see are light from objects that exploded thousands of years ago. None of these objects have a communication function. Solar eclipses, blood moons, and meteor showers are all predictable, well-understood astronomical events caused by orbital mechanics, not moral semaphore. NASA can predict eclipses centuries in advance because they follow physics, not prophecy.
What the text says
This comes from Luke 21:25. The text says 'there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars' — treating celestial bodies as a divine messaging system designed to communicate warnings to humans on Earth.
Three honest ways to read this passage
-
As history
The text records how its authors understood the world with the knowledge they had. Read this way, a difference from modern science is a window into the ancient mind, not a failure.
-
As accommodation
The text speaks to its first audience in their own terms, to make a point that isn't mainly about physics or biology. Read this way, the scientific detail is the vehicle, not the cargo.
-
As contradiction
The text makes a claim about the physical world that modern findings dispute. Read this way, the difference is a genuine factual disagreement worth naming.
GEBible doesn't pick one of these for you. Each entry shows the passage, what it says, and what current science says — nothing more.
