Genesis 1:14-19Numbers 28:11-15

Still the Old Testament strongly teaches against worshiping the moon (Deuteronomy 4:19; Job 31:26-28; Isaiah 47:13-15 ) as did Israel's neighbors. The people of Israel were to remember that the moon was nothing more than an object created by Yahweh and had no power over people.

Joel said in the last days the moon would become dark (Joel 2:10; Joel 3:15 ) or turn to blood (Joel 2:31 ). The moon will not give its light on the “Day of the Lord,” the light of the sun and the moon being replaced by the everlasting light of the Lord (Isaiah 13:10; Isaiah 60:19-20 ).
