According to the 2022 edition of The Old Farmer's Almanac, "A total lunar eclipse appears on the night of the 15th-16th [of May 2022], with the entire eclipse visible from the eastern half of the U.S. and Canada and all of South America. West of the Mississippi, the Moon will rise already eclipsed, offering intriguing photography opportunities." During a total lunar eclipse the Moon will turn "completely red like blood" (see Revelation 6:12 below).
THE SIXTH SEAL
from the Bible: Revelation 6:12-17
(Good News Translation)
And I saw the Lamb break open the sixth seal. There was a violent earthquake, and the sun became black like coarse black cloth, and the moon turned completely red like blood. The stars fell down to the earth, like unripe figs falling from the tree when a strong wind shakes it. The sky disappeared like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the rulers and the military chiefs, the rich and the powerful, and all other people, slave and free, hid themselves in caves and under rocks on the mountains. They called out to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the eyes of the one who sits on the throne and from the anger of the Lamb! The terrible day of their anger is here, and who can stand up against it!"
