The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. (Psalm 19.1, 2, ESV)

I never cease to be amazed at the combination of orderliness in creation and the ability of smart people to figure it out. This morning, at 4:30 a.m., Mountain Time, there was a lunar eclipse, exactly as predicted. June and I didn’t even have to leave our bedroom, thanks to a window that faces exactly west.

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.

And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved… (Joel 2.28 – 32, ESV)
