Bible Verses about the Moon

The Bible mentions the moon in various contexts, emphasizing its role as God's creation to mark time and provide light. 

In Genesis 1:14-18, the moon is described as one of God's "great lights" to separate day from night and mark seasons, days, and years. 

Psalm 104:19 reiterates this, stating that God made the moon to mark the seasons. In Psalm 136:9, the moon is praised as a testament to God's enduring love. 

Passages like Jeremiah 31:35 highlight the moon's stability and dependability, which are part of God's unchanging order. 

Finally, in prophetic literature, such as Isaiah 30:26 and Revelation 21:23, the moon is depicted symbolically, reflecting the glory of God's future kingdom.
