\u201cBut of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son,\u00a0but the Father only.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Also, reflect on the fact that there were 71 total solar eclipses in the 20th century alone.<\/p>\n
If you are looking for *useful* theological reflection on the eclipse, I suggest Psalm 19:<\/p>\n
\nThe heavens are telling the glory of God;
\nand the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
\nDay to day pours forth speech,
\nand night to night declares knowledge.
\nThere is no speech, nor are there words;
\ntheir voice is not heard;
\n\u00b6 yet their voice goes out through all the earth,
\nand their words to the end of the world.<\/p>\n
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
\nwhich comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
\nand like a strong man runs its course with joy.
\nIts rising is from the end of the heavens,
\nand its circuit to the end of them;
\nand there is nothing hidden from its heat.<\/p>\n
The law of the LORD is perfect,
\nreviving the soul;
\nthe testimony of the LORD is sure,
\nmaking wise the simple;
\nthe precepts of the LORD are right,
\nrejoicing the heart;
\nthe commandment of the LORD is pure,
\nenlightening the eyes;
\nthe fear of the LORD is clean,
\nenduring for ever;
\nthe ordinances of the LORD are true,
\nand righteous altogether.
\nMore to be desired are they than gold,
\neven much fine gold;
\nsweeter also than honey
\nand drippings of the honeycomb.<\/p>\n
Moreover by them is your servant warned;
\nin keeping them there is great reward.
\nBut who can discern his errors?
\nClear me from hidden faults.
\nKeep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
\nlet them not have dominion over me!
\nThen I shall be blameless,
\nand innocent of great transgression.<\/p>\n
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
\nbe acceptable in your sight,
\nO LORD, my rock and my redeemer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Also, Psalm 8 is good:<\/p>\n
O LORD, our LORD,
\nhow majestic is your name in all the earth!<\/p>\n
You whose glory above the heavens is chanted
\n\u00b6by the mouth of babies and infants,
\nyou have founded a bulwark because of your foes,
\nto still the enemy and the avenger.<\/p>\n
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
\nthe moon and the stars which you have established;
\n\u00b6 what is man that you are mindful of him,
\nand the son of man that you care for him?<\/p>\n
Yet you have made him little less than the angels,
\nand you have crowned him with glory and honor.
\n\u00b6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
\nyou have put all things under his feet,
\nall sheep and oxen,
\nand also the beasts of the field,
\nthe birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
\nwhatever passes along the paths of the sea.<\/p>\n
O LORD, our LORD,
\nhow majestic is your name in all the earth!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
