Celestial Signs
Many people today believe that these celestial signs are only starting to be fulfilled in our day, with such events like solar flares that occur in the sun. But the truth is, the Bible verse in Matthew and Luke where Jesus talks about celestial signs in the stars, sun and moon have already been fulfilled. And these signs are yet more evidence that we are living in the end times. Let's take a look at the Bible verses.
Please read through this information, as there is an amazing connection between these signs and the "great tribulation" that occured during the dark ages which shows the validity of this information.
Matthew 24:29 ...'Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.'
Luke 21:25-26 ...'And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and looking after those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.'
Now compare the above end time quotes with the sixth seal in Revelation chapter 6 and Joel 2:31:
Revelation 6:12-13 ...'And I beheld when He had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood. And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.'
Joel 2:31 ...'The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.'
So logic tells us that the celestial signs Jesus gave in Luke 21 would be the same as the celestial signs in Revelation 6 and Joel 2, because both are concerned with the end times. So have these signs in the sun, moon and stars been fulfilled? And what about the "great earthquake" in the sixth seal? Yes, these Biblical signs of the end times have been fulfilled as you will see below.
Signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars
You will notice that the following "end time" events took place in the 18th and 19th century. So why are we in the year 2013 and Jesus still hasn't returned? Well, we need to remember that these Bible signs were not signs of Jesus' immediate return, but rather they were signs to announce the beginning of the last days. You could say that when these celestial signs happened, God began the final chapter of human history. And since then we have been getting closer and closer to the end of time. The signs as you can see from this site are getting stronger and we are sure to see Jesus return soon. So let's look at the fulfillment of these Biblical celestial signs.

Signs in the Sun and Moon
On May 19th in 1780 a dark day occured in New England in America. This dark day covered the New England states and parts of Canada. The darkness was observed as far north as Portland, Maine, and extended south to New Jersey. And the daytime darkness was so complete that candles were required from noontime that day until the middle of the next night.
