If you are in need of biblical prophecies explaining the Meaning of the Eclipse and how it all coordinates with the End Times, I recommend Matthew 24:36:

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”

Also, reflect on the fact that there were 71 total solar eclipses in the 20th century alone.

If you are looking for *useful* theological reflection on the eclipse, I suggest Psalm 19:

The heavens are telling the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours forth speech,
and night to night declares knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words;
their voice is not heard;
¶ yet their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.

In them he has set a tent for the sun,
which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and like a strong man runs its course with joy.
Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them;
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple;
the precepts of the LORD are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring for ever;
the ordinances of the LORD are true,
and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.

Moreover by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
But who can discern his errors?
Clear me from hidden faults.
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

Also, Psalm 8 is good:

O LORD, our LORD,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You whose glory above the heavens is chanted
¶by the mouth of babies and infants,
you have founded a bulwark because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars which you have established;
¶ what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?

Yet you have made him little less than the angels,
and you have crowned him with glory and honor.
¶ You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the sea.

O LORD, our LORD,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
