Strange Phenomena in the Sky
The seven-year prophesied End Times described in the Bible presents a series of strange, surreal, and apocalyptic phenomena that represent both divine judgments and cosmic upheaval.
Blood Moon, Full Eclipse
From the Tanakh:
According to NASA [1], a blood moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse. They are normal celestial phenomena. However, when prophets Isaiah 13:10, Ezekiel 32:7, and Joel 2:10 prophesied the unusual celestial phenomena in the End Times, they prophesied with a similar message: the sun, moon, and stars will be darkened and will not glow.

From the New Covenant:
God’s vision for Yochanan is similar to that of the above prophets. More unusual natural disasters will be coming, such as a great earthquake, the sun turning dark, the full moon turning to blood, the stars falling, the sky being rolled up, and the mountains and islands shifting, all of which indicate that nature will be unusually changing and moving its position (Rev 6:12–17).
Hail and Fire Will be Thrown Upon the Earth
From the New Covenant:
The hail and fire are going to cause serious damage to plants on earth. The destruction of plants will cause ecological damage, and although we always see unprecedented sizes of hail and wildfires around the globe, in the End Times, this will happen in an unprecedented way.
Something Like a Huge Mountain Ablaze With Fire Will be Thrown into the Sea
From the New Covenant:
The above prediction sounds like an asteroid, a nuclear bomb, or a super volcanic eruption like Yellowstone. We do not know specifics, but the scripture mentions that there will be a huge fireball like a mountain falling into the sea, one-third of the living things in the sea will die, and one-third of the ships will be destroyed. You may be surprised that about 90% of world-traded goods, including food supplies, are transported by sea [1]. In other words, the sea transportation industry will be greatly affected because one-third of the ships will be destroyed. In this way, the traded goods, the food supply, and especially the seafood will be dramatically cut off. Hence, more famines will be coming.

A Great Star Called Wormwood Will be Fallen, Burning Like a Torch
From the Tanakh:
Our prophet Jeremiah 9:15 warned us that God’s judgment includes wormwood.
According to our Jewish rabbi Rashi’s commentary, wormwood means bitter grass [1].

From the New Covenant:
Besides the goods and food supplies, Yochanan in Rev 8:10–11 explains how wormwood will affect the world. Water supplies will be greatly cut off as a great star called Wormwood falls from the sky, polluting a third of the rivers’ and springs’ water. The water will turn bitter, which means it will be poisonous. Many people will die from the water shortage.
People will Live in Darkness
From the Tanakh:
The prophets in the Tanakh prophesied about this abnormal phenomenon (Isaiah 13:10, Ezekiel 32:7, Joel 2:10). One-third of the sun, moon, and stars will be struck, losing their function, and the earth will become darker because of it. On top of the previous disasters, the earth will be severely damaged, and people will greatly suffer.
From the New Covenant:
Yochanan in Rev. 8:12-13 prophesied that there is a similar abnormal phenomena in the sky. A third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars will be struck, so that a third of them will be darkened. A third of the day will not shine, as well as a third of the night. That means cold weather will be the norm in this disastrous period and the earth will become darker and colder because of it.
The Sun will be Scorching
From the New Covenant:
Previously, one-third of the sun, moon, and stars were struck, losing their function, and the earth became darker, and cold weather would have lasted a while. However, later, the sun will become very hot, and its heat will make people feel like they are being roasted. It is a pity that people do not repent and still blaspheme God.

Someone who dies at a hundred years shall be reckoned a youth, and one who fails to reach a hundred shall be reckoned accursed. They shall build houses and dwell in them, they shall plant vineyards and enjoy their fruit. They shall not build for others to dwell in, or plant for others to enjoy.

They shall not toil to no purpose; they shall not bear children for terror, but they shall be a people blessed by GOD, and their offspring shall remain with them. Before they pray, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will respond.

Let the nations rouse themselves and march up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit in judgment over all the nations round about. Swing the sickle, for the crop is ripe; come and tread, for the winepress is full, the vats are overflowing! For great is their wickedness. Multitudes upon multitudes in the Valley of Decision! For the day of GOD is at hand in the Valley of Decision.” Sun and moon are darkened, and stars withdraw their brightness.

Revelation 8:6-7 ESV
“6 Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them. 7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth.

Revelation 9:1-12 TLV
“Then the fifth angel trumpeted, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth. The key to the bottomless pit was given to him. He opened the pit, and smoke rose from the pit like the smoke of a gigantic furnace. The sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. Then from the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given to them like the scorpions have power over the earth. They were told to do no harm to the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only the people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads, and they were permitted not to kill them, but to torment them for five months—and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a person. In those days, people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them. Now the appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces. They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions. They had chests like iron breastplates; and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many horse-drawn chariots rushing into battle. They have tails like scorpions with stingers; and in their tails is their power to harm people for five months. They have as king over them the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon. The first woe is past. Behold, two woes are still coming after these things.”
Revelation 9:13-21 TLV
“Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number, and this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound. The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.”
Revelation 11:1-2 TLV
“Then a measuring rod like a staff was given to me, saying, “Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count those worshiping in it. But do not measure the court outside the temple—leave it out, because it has been given to the nations, and they shall trample the holy city for forty-two months.”

“When they have finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the abyss will make war on them, and overcome them and kill them, and their corpses will lie in the open street of the great city that figuratively is called Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified. Some from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their corpses for three and a half days, not allowing them to be placed into a grave. Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them. They will celebrate and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet; and great fear fell on those who were watching them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” and they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies watched them. At that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.”

“But the woman was given two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly away from the presence of the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is taken care of—for a time, times, and half a time, and from out of his mouth, the serpent spewed water like a river after the woman, in order to sweep her away with a flood. But the earth came to the aid of the woman. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had spewed from his mouth.”
Revelation 13:1-2 TLV
“Then I saw a beast rising out of the sea, that had ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten royal crowns, and upon his heads were slanderous names. Now the beast that I saw was like a leopard, his feet like a bear’s, and his mouth like a lion’s, and the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.”
Revelation 13:11-18 TLV
“Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast before him, and he makes the earth and all those who dwell in it worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven in the sight of men, and he deceives those who dwell on the earth through the signs he is permitted to perform, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image in honor of the beast who has the sword wound yet lived. The second beast was permitted to give life to the image of the first beast, so that the image of the beast could even speak and cause all who would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He also causes all—the small and the great, the rich and the poor, the free and the slave—to receive a mark on their right hand or upon their forehead, and so no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark—either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number of a man, and his number is 666.”

“The sixth angel poured out his bowl over the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. Then I saw—coming from the dragon’s mouth and from the beast’s mouth and from the false prophet’s mouth—three unclean spirits like frogs. For they are demonic spirits performing miraculous signs, who go out to the kings of the whole world—to gather them for battle on the great day of Elohei Tzva’ot. “Behold, I am coming like a thief! How fortunate is the one who stays alert and keeps his clothes on, lest he walk around naked and they see his shamefulness.” Then the spirits gathered the kings to the place called in Hebrew Har-Megiddo.”
Revelation 16:13-14 TLV
“Then I saw—coming from the dragon’s mouth and from the beast’s mouth and from the false prophet’s mouth—three unclean spirits like frogs.

Revelation 19:11-21 TLV
“Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The One riding on it is called Faithful and True, and He judges and makes war in righteousness. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and many royal crowns are on His head. He has a name written that no one knows except Himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which He is called is “the Word of God.” And the armies of heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword—so that with it He may strike down the nations—and He shall rule them with an iron rod, and He treads the winepress of the furious wrath of Elohei-Tzva’ot. On His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “King of kings, and Lord of lords.” Then I saw a single angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he cried out to all the birds flying high in the sky, “Come, gather for the great banquet of God— to eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of generals and the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and those riding on them, the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great! Also I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the One who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, and along with him the false prophet who had performed the signs before him by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast, as well as those who had worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the One riding on the horse. And all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh.”

Zechariah 14:1-3 RJPS
“Lo, a day of GOD is coming when your spoil shall be divided in your very midst! For I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem for war: the city shall be captured, the houses plundered, and the women violated; and a part of the city shall go into exile. But the rest of the population shall not be uprooted from the city. Then GOD will come forth and make war on those nations as a fighter makes war on a day of battle.”
Zechariah 14:1-5 RJPS
“Lo, a day of GOD is coming when your spoil shall be divided in your very midst! For I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem for war: the city shall be captured, the houses plundered, and the women violated; and a part of the city shall go into exile. But the rest of the population shall not be uprooted from the city. Then GOD will come forth and make war on those nations as a fighter makes war on a day of battle. On that day, God’s feet will stand on the mount of Olives, near Jerusalem on the east; and the mount of Olives shall split across from east to west, and one part of the mount shall shift to the north and the other to the south, a huge gorge, and the valley in the hills shall be stopped up, for the valley of the hills shall reach only to Azal; it shall be stopped up as it was stopped up as a result of the earthquake in the days of king Uzziah of Judah.—And the ETERNAL my God, with all the holy beings, will come to you.”
