Jesus said that in the end times there will be unusual activity in the skies. It will begin before the Tribulation Period even starts, and will get progressively worse during the course of those seven years, leading up to the return of Jesus as King of Kings.

Then he said to them: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven." (Luke 21:10-11)

“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:25-28)

It has far-reaching effects, but they are not expected to be catastrophic. Todd Hoeksema, director of the Wilcox Solar Observatory, said the polarity change is built up throughout the eleven year cycle through areas of intense magnetic activity known as sunspots which gradually move towards the poles, eroding the existing opposite polarity. Here on Earth it will cause a boost in the occurrence, range and visibility of auroras - the Northern Lights.

It is being called the Comet of the Century, but it is now close to the Sun, and astronomers think it could be destroyed by the Sun before we get to see it.

Sept. 3, 2013 - A "tetrad" of blood-red moons and an eclipse in 2014 and 2015 could be a heavenly sign of importance for Israel. There have apparently only been eight of these "tetrads," and some of them fell on most-important dates in Israel's history. One of them was in 1949, right after Israel became a nation. Another was in 1967, the year Israel took full control of Jerusalem.

It has a sooty substance on its surface, which could mean it flew too close to the sun. It is 1.7 miles long - big enough to cause global extinction if it collided with the Earth. It will still be 3.6 million miles from our planet this time, but may be closer when it returns in 2119.

On the night of April 10th, the space telescope snapped an image in visible light of Comet ISON while it was still at a whopping distance of 394 million miles from Earth. It is thought by astronomers that by late November ISON may briefly appear as bright as the Moon.
