The darkness at the crucifixion wasn't a metaphor. Secular Romans recorded it too. 🌑✝️

The Gospels say that when Jesus hung on the cross, darkness fell over the whole land from noon until 3 PM. Skeptics always say, "Oh, it was just a solar eclipse." But an eclipse only lasts a few minutes. I just learned that early secular historians—guys who weren't even Christians—wrote about this! A historian named Thallus (writing around 52 AD) tried to explain away this exact darkness. Another named Phlegon recorded a massive darkness and an earthquake during the exact time of Tiberius Caesar. The Romans experienced the blackout. They felt the earth shake. The death of the Son of God was a cosmic event that broke the physical world. History backs it up. He is the real deal. 😭🙌 #HistoricalJesus #GoodFridayFacts #Apologetics #TheCross #BiblicalProof
