What caused the darkness at Jesus’ death and the fire that destroyed Sodom?
Question:
Was the darkness that filled the whole world at about the hour Jesus died from a total eclipse? Was the fire that destroyed Sodom from a meteor or some space matter?
Answer:
"Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land" (Matthew 27:45).
Since the darkness lasted three hours, it cannot be explained by a solar eclipse.
"Then the LORD rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the LORD out of the heavens" (Genesis 19:24).
We are only told the results. We weren't informed how God chose to accomplish these results.
