Could the entire world witness a powerful eclipse all at once?
According to IFL Science, this incredible eclipse is set to happen on September 7 and 8, and will be noticed from Oceania to Brazil. The eclipse length, from partiality to total coverage to partial covering again, will take a total of 3 hours, 29 minutes and 24 seconds.
Most of the continent of Asia, western Australia and part of Eastern Africa will have the chance to see the blood moon eclipse in totality. IFL Science calculates that 60 percent of the world’s population will see the full eclipse, and 87 percent will have the chance to see it in part.

From a biblical and end-times perspective, celestial events like the upcoming blood moon eclipse serve as powerful reminders of God’s sovereignty and the prophetic signs written in Scripture. Joel 2:31 warns, “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.” This prophecy connects unusual astronomical phenomena, such as eclipses and blood moons, directly to God’s revelation of judgment, calling His people to awareness, repentance and preparation.
Matthew 24:29-30 also emphasizes the cosmic disturbances that will precede Christ’s return: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven.” The widespread visibility of this eclipse could serve as a partial foretaste of these end-time celestial signals, reminding believers that the heavens themselves declare the glory and warning of God.

For believers, this event is more than a scientific spectacle—it is a call to spiritual vigilance. Just as ancient prophets and apostles urged God’s people to watch the skies and discern His signs, today’s global observance of a blood moon can inspire prayer, repentance and proclamation of the Gospel.
