What Does The Bible Say About The Moon
The moon is a powerful reminder that everything in creation reflects God’s glory and power.
The moon, in the purely scientific sense, is a celestial body that orbits around the Earth. It’s size and mass are just under 1/4 of the Earth’s size and mass, respectively.

The Bible does not say much about the moon itself. The only mention of it from God comes in Genesis 1:16 where He tells us that He created lights to separate day from night:
“And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night:” (Genesis 1:16)
This verse indicates that there were TWO great lights created by God on Day 4, one being our sun which we can see during the day time and another being our moon which is smaller than our sun but larger than any other celestial body in our solar system except Jupiter (which was discovered over 2000 years after this verse was written).
The Bible does not use the word “moon” (Hebrew yareach) for any object other than our solar system’s natural satellite. When God commanded the creation of lights in Genesis 1:16-18, He specified a greater light (the sun) and a lesser light (the moon).

When God commanded the creation of lights in Genesis 1:16-18, He specified a greater light (the sun) and a lesser light (the moon). The moon is not a source of light but rather it is a reflection of the sun’s light. This is why we cannot see the moon in daylight unless there are clouds or smoke between us and its source.
In contrast to Genesis 1:16-18, Job 38:7-10 records that “the moon has no brightness,” meaning that it does not have its own power but only reflects another source of energy like sunlight from earth or some other celestial body such as Venus or Mars. It also says that “its light does not shine,” meaning it does not give off its own glow but rather only reflects what comes from somewhere else; in this case we know that it is reflecting sunlight back at us so that we can see it at night when there isn’t any direct lighting available on earth except during an eclipse when two bodies line up perfectly so one blocks out all other sources while casting its shadow onto another body below which creates darkness around them both!
God created the moon for several reasons, including to rule over the night, serve as signs for times on earth and to reflect the glory of God.

The moon is a powerful reminder that everything in creation reflects God’s glory and power.
The moon had its own presence in the creation account of Genesis. It became not only a representation of the day, but also an indicator of seasons, days and years (Genesis 1:14).
The Moon had its own presence in the creation account of Genesis. It became not only a representation of the day, but also an indicator of seasons, days and years (Genesis 1:14). The sun is part of our solar system and it was created on day four with other heavenly bodies. The moon does not count as one of those heavenly bodies because it doesn’t give off its own light like other planets do; instead, it reflects the light from our sun that shines down upon it.
In Psalm 104:19 David wrote: “He made the moon to mark the seasons; The sun knows when to go down.”
The sun and moon are signs of God’s glory. They mark the seasons, but they also mark days, years, months and weeks. The sun goes down every night because it is obeying the will of God. When Jesus returns to this earth in power and great glory with all His angels (Revelation 19), He will give authority to his son over all things (Luke 22:29-30).
This means that not only does God control what happens on earth, but He also controls what occurs in space! It’s no wonder why there are so many stories about UFOs coming from people who have had encounters with them during their lives – many of which have been able to share their testimony with others about what happened when these encounters occurred!
Even with all this said about God’s goodness and creativity in creating the moon, we must remember that no created thing can replace God or be worshipped instead of Him (Rev 19:10).
The Bible is clear that God has created the moon (Genesis 1:14-19). However, it is also clear that we should not worship the moon or treat it as a god. The Bible teaches us to worship only God (Exodus 20:3).
We must remember that no created thing can replace God or be worshipped instead of Him (Rev 19:10). Even though the moon is a wonderful creation of God, it still isn’t Him; therefore, we should never worship or put our trust in anything but Jesus Christ.
The moon is a powerful reminder that everything in creation reflects God’s glory and power
The moon is a powerful reminder that everything in creation reflects God’s glory and power, from the majesty of the stars to the beauty of flowers. The moon is also a reminder that God is sovereign over all creation and has chosen to glorify himself through his creation. Let us remember this as we gaze at the moon and praise our Creator for his infinite wisdom, love, mercy and grace.
The moon has many purposes, but it is most importantly a reminder of God’s glory and power. Whether you are looking at the moon tonight or not, God’s creation will always be something to be amazed by.
