What’s Happening? The Moon turned to Blood Moon

The Blood Moon on Sep 7, 2025

What’s Happening

Tonight’s total lunar eclipse will turn the Moon a deep red, creating what many call a “Blood Moon.” In Malaysia, it will be fully visible late at night into the early morning hours.


Biblical Significance

The Moon Turned to Blood

Scripture speaks of the Moon turning to blood as a sign before the great and awesome Day of the Lord (Joel 2:31; Acts 2:20). Revelation also describes the Moon becoming like blood in apocalyptic imagery. These passages remind us that such celestial events point to God’s sovereignty and the certainty of His return.

Signs and Seasons

Genesis tells us that the sun, the Moon, and the stars are for signs and appointed times. The psalmist declares that the heavens proclaim the glory of God. This means eclipses are not random but part of God’s design, meant to draw us into awe, reverence, and worship of the Creator.

Watchfulness and Hope

Jesus said there will be signs in the heavens, calling His followers to remain watchful and ready. The response to such signs is not fear, but repentance, renewed faith, and hope in Christ’s promises. It is a reminder to live with eternity in mind.


A Timely Frame

This Blood Moon falls during the Hebrew month of Elul, a season traditionally devoted to self-examination and returning to God in preparation for the High Holy Days. It is a fitting time for prayer, repentance, and reconciliation—an invitation to prepare our hearts before the Lord.


A Devotional Response

As you watch the crimson Moon tonight:

  • Read: Joel 2:12–13; Acts 2:17–21; Psalm 19.

  • Reflect: “Lord, where are You calling me to return and realign with You?”

  • Respond: Confess, forgive, and take one concrete step of obedience this week.


Final Thought

This Blood Moon is not a code for predicting dates—it is a reminder of God’s majesty and a call to readiness. Let it awaken you spiritually, so that as the Moon glows red in the heavens, your heart also shines with renewed faith in Christ.
