You have likely at least seen pictures or videos of solar eclipses, perhaps you have been fortunate enough to see one as it happens. Either way, eclipses are quite a dramatic and awe-inspiring sight to behold.
What do they mean? Anything? For non-Christians and those who hold to a completely materialistic view of the universe, sadly no. These events, while breathtaking, are not anything purposeful. They were not intended by anyone or anything. They are just chance alignments with no rhyme or reason for their occurrences. Science can tell us quite a bit about the numbers, forces, and elemental particles that comprise such a glorious arrangement, but science has no explanation for what it all means. But for Christians, these celestial events are reminders and declarations of God's glory. And if you happen to live in parts of Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, or Texas, you will be in for a real celestial treat - an annular eclipse will be happening overhead Saturday, October 14, 2023. You don't want to miss it!
Come along with Wayne and Dan as they talk about eclipses in general and how they see them point the way to the glory of God in Christ.
