In Context

43+ 27:43. MP: Mockers will say of the Messiah, “he trusted God, let Him deliver him.” (Ps 22:8) He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; + 27:43. Quoted from Ps 22:8 for he said, ‘I am the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·.’”

45+ 27:45. MP: God will cause the sky to be darkened in the mid-day. Possible illusion to “The day of Yahweh” and the 70th week of Daniel.

Skeptic: An eclipse cannot happen during a full moon. Answer: Scientificly that is correct, and historically this was recorded, so it has to be a miracle or nothing. Note: We do not have evidence to denounce the cited Historians as their books no longer exist. Now from noon until three o'clock there was darkness over all the land.
