“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars...” (Luke 21:25 KJV)
As the final years of this 'age of grace' wain, celestial signs continue to align with the prophetic outline of Scripture. In this article, I present a consecutive view of the book of Revelation—beginning with the Seals and proceeding through the Trumpets and Vials—mapped to a series of lunar and solar eclipses visible from Jerusalem. These events may serve as divine warnings to both Israel and the nations, precisely as Scripture and rabbinic tradition suggest.
Revelation in Consecutive Order
| Section | Events | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seals (Revelation 6–7 KJV) | Persecution, martyrdom, world sorrows—ongoing since Christ ascended | ~2,000 years | 6th seal is the turning point (earthquake, sun darkened, moon as blood) |
| Pre-Tribulation Rapture | At the 6th Seal; rapture of the saints before "wrath of the Lamb" begins | Instant | Revelation 6:12–17 KJV; Revelation 7:9–17 KJV |
| Trumpets (Revelation 8–15 KJV) | Wrath of the Lamb | 3.5 years | Includes two witnesses (Revelation 11 KJV) & mid-tribulation saints harvest (Rev 14:14-16 KJV) |
| Vials (Revelation 16–19 KJV) | Wrath of God / Jacob’s Trouble | 3.5 years | Final judgments on the earth - "great tribulation" & Jacob's trouble |
| Millennial Reign (Revelation 20–22 KJV) | Christ's earthly reign | 1,000 years+ | Followed by a new Heaven & a new Earth with restoration of all things |
Lunar Eclipses as Prophetic Markers
🔴 September 7, 2025 – Total Lunar Eclipse
- Visible in full from Jerusalem
- Occurs shortly before Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets - Sep 22/23, 2025)
- Aligns with Revelation 6:12 KJV — “moon became as blood”
- May signal the pre-tribulation / pre-wrath rapture (Revelation 7:9-17 KJV) of the ready virgins (Matthew 25:1-13 KJV, Hebrews 9:28 KJV) and the start of the wrath of the Lamb (beginning in Revelation 8 KJV, the first half of the 7-year tribulation)
🔴 June 26, 2029 – Total Lunar Eclipse
- Visible fully from Jerusalem, and sets BELOW THE HORIZON while still blood-red
- Occurs around 13th of Tamuz, a month historically associated with idolatry and judgment
- May align with the midpoint of the tribulation
- Signals transition to the vial judgments / wrath of God (great tribulation - last half & Jacob's trouble beginning in Revelation 15 KJV)
Solar Eclipses (Crescent = “Devil’s Horns”) as Omens to the Nations
In rabbinic thought and based on passages like Amos 8:9 KJV and Joel 2:31 KJV, solar eclipses are considered omens to the nations (Gentile world), while lunar eclipses are signs for Israel.
As seen from Israel {see TimeAndDate source link below} - there may be others of significance seen elsewhere in the world:
- August 2, 2027 – Partial Solar Eclipse, near Jubilee cycle
- June 1, 2030 – Partial Solar Eclipse (between Trumpets & Vials)
- March 20, 2034 – Partial Solar Eclipse (possibly post-trib, pre-millennium)
Key Milestone Timeline
| Date | Event | Scripture | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ongoing | Seals 1–5 unfolding | Revelation 6:1–11 KJV | Wars, famines, martyrs |
| Sep 7, 2025 | Blood Moon / Rapture | Revelation 6:12–17 KJV; Revelation 7:9–17 KJV | Moon as blood, saints appear in heaven |
| Fall 2025–Spring 2029 | Trumpet Judgments | Revelation 8–15 KJV | Wrath of the Lamb |
| Jun 26, 2029 | Blood Moon / Mid-Trib Warning | Revelation 14:14–20 KJV; Revelation 15–16 KJV | Moon sets in blood — transition to vials |
| Late 2029–2032 | Vial Judgments | Revelation 16–19 KJV | Wrath of God |

Closing Thoughts
From Genesis to Revelation, the heavens are used by God as His prophetic billboard. The full blood lunar eclipses of September 7, 2025 and June 26, 2029, visible in their entirety from Jerusalem (with the latter setting while still fully blood red) may well be more than just natural phenomena — they may be harbingers of the Lamb’s wrath and the Father’s final judgment.
Whether these signs mark the opening and midpoint of the seven-year tribulation, or simply warn of what is to come, they align with Scripture’s pattern: “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.” (Joel 2:31 KJV)
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (Revelation 3:22 KJV)
Further Clarifications
For the above mentioned - "August 2, 2027 – Partial Solar Eclipse, near Jubilee cycle" I asked ChatGPT what it meant by "near Jubilee cycle" ... in short it came back with: "The August 2, 2027 eclipse was referred to as “near Jubilee cycle” because it falls within 1 year of multiple proposed Jubilee years (2025–2028), depending on how one interprets the sabbatical and jubilee cycle.", I'll post the whole reply in a new article ... if I don't forget ... or I may just do a new article on potentials for Jubilee years ... or both, so keep an eye open ;o}
BTW, I'm not saying the rapture WILL happen on the blood moon of Sep 7, 2025 ... only that it's an omen (per rabbinic belief) to Israel. I believe the rapture could happen before then or perhaps after then ... all we can do is wait and see. But it is imperative that we watch as Jesus commanded, "And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." -Jesus/YeshuaH {Mark 13:37 KJV} ...and... "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." {Hebrews 9:28 KJV}
The above was the result of input to ChatGPT (by OpenAI) from my own text prompts; be aware that AIs can and do make mistakes so the information given may have errors, you do your own research and come to your own conclusions! For me, this has been a fascinating journey and I will persue it with yet another version of this article soon. Scripture references are from Blue Letter Bible (KJV)
