Description:
The Bur-Sagale solar eclipse is mentioned for how it might allow dating the visit of Jonah to Nineveh. Two lunar eclipses are examined. The first one is from January 10 1 BC that is used in determining when Herod died, and hence when our Savior was born. The second one is the lunar eclipse that appeared 3 1/2 hours after our Savior died on April 5, AD 33. This eclipse had an unusual blood-red appearance as viewed from Jerusalem and as verified by modern astronomy. The significance of this eclipse was brought out by Peter on the day of Pentecost.
