Luke 23 44-46 Jesus dies on the cross



now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’” Having said this, He breathed His last.



a. There was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour: The remarkable darkness all over the earth showed the agony of creation itself in the Creator’s suffering. “Origen (Contra Celsus, ii,33) and Eusebius (Chron.) quote words from Phlegon (a Roman historian) in which he makes mention of an extraordinary solar eclipse as well as of an earthquake about the time of the crucifixion.” (Geldenhuys)



i. A Roman historian named Phlegon wrote: “In the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad, there was an extraordinary eclipse of the sun: at the sixth hour, the day turned into dark night, so that the stars in heaven were seen; and there was an earthquake.” (Cited in Clarke)



ii. The crucifixion took place during Passover season, and Passover is always held at a full moon. A natural eclipse of the sun is impossible

Very interesting‼️

You’ve intrigued me to look at that more closely. The fact historians and others at that point in time testifying to the severity of that very distinctive darkness certainly coincides with the biblical narrative.

Unbelievers of course, will immediately try to pass off such inexplicable anomalies as just a natural deviation
