Passages from the books of Acts and Revelation suggest the world could be doomed to face the apocalypse predicted the Bible.

Christian writings from the holy book predict a great earthquake and an eclipse before the full moon becomes like “like blood”.

Today across the world the moon will appear in the sky a vivid red colour, and will appear huge as the orbital body reaches its closest point in Earth's orbit.

Panic swept the west coast of the US last week as a massive 7.9 magnitude earthquake rocked Alaska, triggering tsunami warnings across the Pacific.

Last year, a massive solar eclipse swept across the central US – even being viewed by US President Donald Trump from the White House.

Now for the first time in 152 years, a super blue blood moon will be visible around the world on January 31, this Wednesday.

This blood moon phenomena is triggered by the Earth blocking the Sun from the Moon in an eclipse.

In the book of Revelations, it reads: "When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale.

"The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.”

The “sixth seal” refers to the seals of the apocalyptic documents which contain secret information only for God and his chosen “Lamb”.

Opening of the seventh seal is said to trigger the chorus of the angels trumpets, signalling the "the wrath of God upon the earth”.

And then in the book of Acts, it reads: "The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.”

Christian prophets have long predicted blood moons heralding the end of the world before based on these prophecies.

Could the world be really heading for the end of days as foretold in the Bible?

If we listen to NASA, probably not – and we will just witness an incredible once in a generation astronomical event.

However, self-styled online doom prophet Paul Begley, who runs Prophecy Ministries, posted a video online claiming Russia will trigger the end times using Vladimir Putin's new nuclear drone submarine the Status-6.

The existence of plans for drone was revealed in Pentagon documents leaked showing a draft of the new Nuclear Posture Review being prepared for President Trump.

Mr Begley said: "We are living in the last days."

He went on: “We are so close to coming of the Messiah. It is certainly a Biblical sign - are you serious?”

The prophet has been running a YouTube channel with videos proclaiming the end times for eight years.

Meanwhile, NASA have revealed the super blood moon appears when the Moon makes its closest possible pass as it orbits the Earth.

Our moon will appear up to 33% larger and will appear much brighter during the episode

The red colour of the moon is because the Earth is blocking out the Sun, with the sunlight passing through the atmosphere being cast on the moon.

This is the same type of phenomena that causes the sky to red during the sunset.

If you were standing on the Moon, you would see the Earth blocking on the Sun in a total solar eclipse.

Blood moons occur about twice a year, but a super blue blood moon has not been seen since 1866.

That means there has been approximately 3,900 blood moons since the Book of Revelation was penned in around 69 AD.
