Scripture warns us that there will be signs in the sky of the end coming. We just may be one step closer to that end.
In a report by the Daily Mail, it was noted that this year, Great Britain is expected to get hit “with showers of ‘blood rain.'”
Sounds terrifying, right?
This strange sight is likely due to red dust from the Sahara moving across Europe and the United Kingdom. Once the dust combines with the rain, it will create a reddish color, giving it the name of “blood rain.”

Right now, experts believe there is “no reason to be concerned by this sudden change,” according to the Daily Mail, as one of the biggest issues will be a film of dust collected on cars and surfaces after it hits.
While reports like this can sound unsettling at first glance, Christians should not respond in fear. Jesus Himself told us in Luke 21 that there would be “signs in the sun, moon and stars,” not to terrify His followers, but to prepare them. When the skies display unusual sights, Christians are to be reminded not simply of impending doom, but of promise—that God’s Word is unfolding exactly as He said it would.
Whether through dust-filled rain or other signs in the sky, these moments point beyond themselves to the return of Jesus Christ, a sign that our King is coming again.
