Christian Site Warns Of Election Day “Blood Moon”

From the far-right Christian site Charisma News:

For the first time in the history of the United States, Election Day will fall on the same day as a blood moon. The Christian Bible makes mention of blood moons in both Old and New Testament writing. The cause for rampant interest among Christians in regards to a blood moon is that most of the references have to do with the return of Jesus and a signal of the End Times. In the book of Joel chapter 2, the prophet writes in several verses about the moon turning to blood, the sun and moon darken and that the Lord will show wonders within the heavens.

Space.com reports:



The second total lunar eclipse of 2022 will turn the moon a reddish-copper color for 85 minutes on Nov. 8, 2022, though what you’ll see during this safe naked-eye event will depend on your location on the planet. Often colloquially called a Blood Moon, a total lunar eclipse happens as the full moon (in this case November’s full Beaver Moon) moves into the deep umbral shadow of the Earth and receives only light first filtered by Earth’s atmosphere, will be visible from North America and parts of South America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
