Wolf Moon
Last night's sky displayed the largest, brightest full moon of this year. Native Indians referred to this as The Wolf Moon. It's also been called or Old Moon or Moon After Yule.
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. [Genesis 1:14-15]
Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name [Amos 5:8]
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained ; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? [Psalm 8:3-4]
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. [Luke 21:11]
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [Acts 2:19]
