This passage is a variation of the commonly given sign of the Second Coming—the stars fall from the heavens, the moon turns to blood, and the sun refuses to give light. Many have mistakenly spoken of meteor showers and an occasional orange-red moon as fulfillment of this prophecy. This sign in the heavens will be much more dramatic than that. Imagine how powerful the signs of Christ’s death were, when the sun was darkened for three hours in Jerusalem and for three days in the Americas. Such a dramatic sign should be expected again, ’there shall appear a great sign in heaven, and all people shall see it together’ (DC 88:93). This concept is contained in the scriptures in more than 10 places. All of the most important passages describing the signs of the coming of the Son of God contain this concept (see DC 29:14; 45:42; 88:87; 133:49; Matt 24:29, JS-M 1:33; Rev 6:12).
