Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Matthew
16:2-3 He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair
weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy
today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret
the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the
times.
Luke 21:25 states: And there will be
signs in the sun,
in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring ...
Acts 2:19
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke
Matthew
24:29-30 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will
be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will
fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then
will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the
tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming
on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Acts 2:20 “The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious Day of the Lord.”
Joel 2:31 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
There
are so many hidden treasures in G-d’s Word the deeper you study. Mark
Bilitz has been teaching on the Blood Moons for a few years:
http://youtu.be/vi78PmRX46Y
Pastor John Hagee has also added his research into these prophesies as well:
http://youtu.be/fM22diQnS6s
There
have been only three times during the past 500 years where a group of
four blood moons had occurred on Biblical (Jewish) feast days. Think
about that…. And I discovered NASA calls a collection of four blood
moons which occur during a two-year period a
tetrad of blood
moons. A blood moon is commonly known as a lunar eclipse. This occurs
when the earth moves along a path in space between the sun and the
moon. The moon passes through the shadow created by the earth blocking
the light from the sun, and the moon appears to get darker and darker
until it glows an eerie red color similar to the color of blood.
So, why is it always a
tetrad
of blood moons which corresponds with Biblical feast days? The Jewish
Talmud (book of tradition / Interpretation) says; “When the moon is in
eclipse, it is a bad omen for Israel. If its face is as red as blood,
(it is a sign that) the sword is coming to the world.”
Therefore: Lunar Eclipse = bad omen for the Jewish people and Israel; Blood Moon = sword coming; Solar Eclipse = bad omen for the world. Four blood moons comprise a tetrad. God's name has four letters. In Hebrew it is represented as:
These
are the four Hebrew letters which spell God's name. They are read
right-to-left, and are phonetically pronounced: Yode, Hay, Vav, Hay.
Could these tetrads be God's way of signing His name? Similar to
saying, "Hey, it's Me." Just a thought……. Ponder it
Four, blood moons on Jewish Feast days
within two years in Israel is
very rare
and has only occurred seven times since the time of Yeshua (Jesus).
There are now four blood moons scheduled to appear in 2014/2015 and then
there will NOT be any for the next 100 years.
Every time a blood
moon pattern has appeared on Jewish feast days a big event affects the
nation of Israel. The event affecting Israel begins just before the
actual years of the blood moons. To understand what will happen in the
2014 - 2015 “blood moons” you must understand the pattern of blood moons
in the past.
So then, the most recent three tetrads of blood moons which fell on Biblical feasts occurred in the period from:
- 1493-94
(shortly after Jews persecuted and evicted from Spain in 1492 and
Columbus (Jew) sailed to New World to find them a new home.
Columbus returned to America in 1493 with 1,500 men and 17 ships);
- 1949-50 (after state of Israel for repatriating Jews was created in May 1948 in one day); and
- 1967-68 (Jews capture Jerusalem in June 1967, the City of God, in a supernatural victory during the "Six Day War").
According to NASA, the next
tetrad of four blood moons will occur between April 2014 and September 2015.
NASA found that we have had
“blood-red moons” on the
first day of Passover and the
first day of Sukkoth on back-to-back years seven times since 1 A.D. Three of these occurrences were connected to
1492 (the final year of the Spanish Inquisition),
1948 (statehood for Israel and the War of Independence), and
1967
(the Six-Day War) — some of the most significant days in Jewish
history. According to NASA - Four 'blood-red' TOTAL lunar eclipses
WILL fall again on
Passover and Sukkoth in 2014 and 2015… the same back-to-back occurrences at the time of 1492, 1948 and 1967.
Think about it… Seven back-to-back, blood-red moons have fallen on the first day of Passover Sukkot, with the “
eighth time”… coming in
2014 and 2015.
Check out this site for yourself:
http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/lunar.html
The meaning of the number "Eight” in the Bible is "New Beginnings"… The eighth day was
new
after God rested. There are 7 days in a week and the 8th day is a new
beginning. Christ rose on the 8th day which was a new beginning for the
world.
When the whole earth was covered with the flood, it was Noah “the eighth person”
(2 Peter 2:5) who stepped out on to a new earth to commence a new order of things. “Eight souls”
(1 Peter 3:20) passed through to the new or re-generated world.
Hence, too, circumcision was to be performed on the “eighth day”
(Genesis 17:12), because it was the fore-shadowing of the true circumcision of the heart, that which was to be
“made without hands,” even
“the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ” (Colossians 2:11). This is connected with the new creation.
The first-born was to be given to Jehovah on the “eighth day
” (Exodus 22: 29, 30)… and the Resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus) is ultimately signified when He rose from the dead on “the first day of the week,”
(Mark 16:9) that was of necessity the “eighth day.”
Tetrad: When four consecutive lunar eclipses are all total eclipses, the group is known as a tetrad.
The Saros Cycle:
is an eclipse cycle with a period of about 18 years 11 days 8 hours
(approximately 65851/3 days) that can be used to predict eclipses of the
Sun and Moon. One cycle after an eclipse… the Sun, Earth, and Moon
return to approximately the same relative geometry, and a nearly
identical eclipse will occur west of the original location.
Tishri:
Is the seventh month of the religious year for Israel and the first
month of the civil year for Israel. This month holds the feasts of Rosh
Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Tabernacles (also known as Sukkoth).
Rosh Hashanah:
This is a two day feast occurring on Tishri 1 and Tishri 2 of the
Hebrew calendar. This is also called the feast of trumpets. A lot of
people believe this feast day is tied to the rapture of the Christian
Church prior to the start of the tribulation.
Yom Kippur:
This is known as the Day of Atonement. It is considered to be one of
the most important of Jewish Holidays of the year. It is a day set aside
to atone for the sins of the past year. It occurs on the 10th day of
Tishri. It is found in
Leviticus 23:26-32.
Sukkoth (Tabernacles):
The feast of Sukkoth begins on Tishri 15, the fifth day of Yom Kippur.
It is a joyous feast day while Yom Kippur is one of the most solemn of
feast days. Sukkoth is a feast day with a festival atmosphere. It marks a
season of rejoicing. Sukkoth means booths and refers to temporary
dwelling places the Jews gather into during this holiday. Most Christian
Scholars believe the "Feast of Sukkoth" is the feast for the 2nd Advent
of the Lord Jesus Christ when he returns with his saints on white
horses at Armageddon.
AV: Av
is the fifth month of the Hebrew Calendar. It is a time of mourning for
the Jews. There are two festivals that are in Av; on the 9th and on the
15th. On the 9th of Av is Tisha B' Av which is a sad day when Jews
fast. It recalls the two temples being destroyed and commemorates other
tragic events throughout Jewish History. The other festival which
happens in Av… is Tu B' Av. This is a happy occasion in which couples
traditionally get together to arrange their wedding.
Nissan: The first month of the Jewish Religious Year - this occurs in the spring time. Passover Occurs on the 15th day of this month.
Passover:
The Hebrew feast day commemorating the Lamb Sacrifice in Exodus where
the Angel of Death passed over Israel while the firstborn in Egypt were
slain. It also is the same day the Lord Yeshua (Jesus Christ), our lamb
sacrifice for sins, was crucified.
Four PARTIAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover in 32 AD – 33 AD
and the "Feast of Tabernacles" in the years before and after the
Crucifixion of Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ). The world has since
witnessed seven "Tetrads" coinciding with events impacting Jewish and
Christian culture.
Seven Jewish Total Lunar Eclipses have occurred in the 1st & 2nd Millenniums:
Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover and Feast of Tabernacles in 162 - 163 AD,
coinciding with the worst persecution of Jews… and Christians in the
history of the Roman Empire. Within 3 years the Antonine Plague killed
eight million people, a third of the population.
Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover and Yom Kippur Holidays in 795 - 796 AD
while King Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire established a DMZ
buffer zone between France and Spain, ending centuries of Arab invasions
into Western Europe.
Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover and Yom Kippur Holidays in 842 - 843 AD. Shortly after the eclipses the Vatican church in Rome was attacked and looted by an Islamic invasion from Africa.
Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover and Yom Kippur Holidays in 860 - 861 AD.
Shortly after the eclipses the Byzantine Empire defeated Arab armies at
the Battle of Lalakaon in Turkey and permanently stopped the Islamic
invasion of Eastern Europe.
The last three “Blood Moons” are very important as they affect ISRAEL as we know it today:
Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover and the Feast of Trumpets Holidays in 1493 – 1494.
Only months after King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain ordered
all Jewish people to leave the country (after about 200 AD, Spain became
and remained a second Jewish homeland for well over a millennia. So
deeply woven into the fabric of Spain are the Jews that neither history
can be fully studied without considering the influence of the other).
“In the same month in which their Majesties (Ferdinand and Isabella)] issued the edict that
all Jews
should be driven out of the kingdom and its territories, in the same
month they gave me the order to undertake with sufficient men my
expedition of discovery to the Indies.” So begins Christopher Columbus’s
diary.
The expulsion that Columbus refers to was so cataclysmic an event that ever since; the date
1492 has
been almost as important in Jewish history as in American history. On
July 30 of that year, the entire Jewish community, some 200,000 people,
were expelled from Spain. Tens of thousands of refugees died while
trying to reach safety. In some instances, Spanish ship captains charged
Jewish passengers exorbitant sums, then dumped them overboard in the
middle of the ocean. In the last days before the expulsion, rumors
spread throughout Spain that the fleeing refugees had swallowed gold and
diamonds, and many Jews were knifed to death by brigands hoping to find
treasures in their stomachs.
1492 was
the same year that the Jews were expelled from Spain and Christopher
Columbus ‘amazingly’…. discovered America which is home today for more
than 5 million Jews outside Israel. Like Mordecai said to Esther – “help
will come in another way!” And America
was blessed by God.
More important we believe that America’s purpose was to protect Israel and offer a safe haven for the Jewish people.
However, the question is… how long will America still continue this in our day?
Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover and Feast of Tabernacle in 1949 - 1950
during the 1st Arab - Israeli War for Independence just after Israel
had become a nation again for the first time in 2,000 years. It should
be noted here: that even though Israel declared themselves a nation
in 1948, the first permanent government took office on
January 25th, 1949.
Israel had a transitional government in 1948. In this way the “(Tetrad)
four blood moons” can tie to the year 1949 for the first elected office
of that year and the birth year could still be 1948.
On 14th May, 1948 - Israel
proclaimed its independence. Less
than 24 hours later, the regular armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria,
Lebanon, and Iraq invaded the country, forcing Israel to defend the
sovereignty it had regained in its ancestral homeland. In what became
known as Israel's War of Independence, the newly formed, poorly equipped
Israel Defence Forces (IDF) repulsed the invaders in fierce
intermittent fighting, which lasted some 15 months and claimed over
6,000 Israeli lives (nearly one percent of the country's Jewish
population at the time).
During the first months of 1949, direct negotiations were conducted under
United Nations
auspices between Israel and each of the invading countries (except
Iraq, which refused to negotiate with Israel), resulting in armistice
agreements which reflected the situation at the end of the fighting.
Accordingly,
the Coastal Plain, Galilee and the entire Negev were within Israel's
sovereignty, Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) came under Jordanian
rule, the Gaza Strip came under Egyptian administration, and the city of
Jerusalem was divided, with Jordan controlling the eastern part,
including the Old City, and Israel the western sector.
The
war over, Israel focused on building the state which the people had
struggled so long and so hard to regain. The first 120-seat Knesset
(parliament) went into session following national elections (25 January
1949) in which nearly 85 percent of all eligible voters cast their
ballots.
Two of the people who had led Israel to statehood
became the country's leaders: David Ben-Gurion, head of the Jewish
Agency, was chosen as the first Prime Minister; and Chaim Weizmann, head
of the World Zionist Organization, was elected by the Knesset as the
first president.
On 11 May 1949, Israel took its seat as the 59th member of the United Nations.
“The gates of the country were thrown open, affirming the right of every Jew to become a citizen.” David Ben-Gurion
Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover and Feast of Tabernacle in 1967 - 1968 coinciding with the
6 Day War
when Israel recaptured Jerusalem. As Israel's neighbors prepared to
destroy the Jewish state, Israel invoked its inherent right of
self-defense, launching a pre-emptive strike (5 June 1967) against Egypt
in the South.
It was followed by a counter attack against
Jordan in the East and the routing of Syrian forces entrenched on the
Golan Heights in the North. At the end of six days of fighting, previous
cease-fire lines were replaced by new ones, with Judea, Samaria, Gaza,
the Sinai Peninsula, and the Golan Heights under Israel's control. As a
result, the northern villages were freed from 19 years of recurrent
Syrian shelling; the passage of Israeli and Israel-bound shipping
through the Straits of Tiran was ensured; and Jerusalem, which had been
divided under Israeli and Jordanian rule since 1949, was reunified under
Israel's authority.
This is the only "tetrad" in the near
future that aligns itself with the Jewish holidays. One should make
mention here that there are other "tetrads" occurring as well. One
tetrad occurred in 2003 - 2004. Future ones other than the
2014 - 2015 are found in 2032-2033, 2043-2044, 2050-2051, 2061-2062, 2072-2073, and 2090-2091…
The difference between these "tetrads" and the 2014 - 2015 "tetrad" is that this "tetrad" aligns with the Jewish holidays and the others DO NOT!
Putting everything into perspective… The
above does not mean that the Second Coming of Yeshua (Jesus Christ) at
Tabernacles… has to occur on Tabernacles 2015. But, what the above taken
as a whole does show a pattern. The "1493 tetrad"… is tied to the
Spanish Government expelling the Jews. The "1949 tetrad" is the nation
Israel being reborn" and the "1967 tetrad" is the recapture of
Jerusalem.
The coming "2014 tetrad"… will be tied to some major event dealing with Israel. I
believe that the "tetrad" of 2014 through 2015 will have something to
do with Israel for the start. The blood moons show a pattern of Jewish
persecution… and then new land for Israel after a time of war! Perhaps
we are looking at Psalm 83 and Isaiah 17. I want to point out that
there is a Solar Eclipse in between the Tetrad which is a warning to the
world.
Since Obama has taken office he has deliberately surrounded Israel with enemies (Muslim Brotherhood) As of
2011
there has been war and crisis in the Middle East that has ignited
violence and uprisings in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen and soon to be
other Middle Eastern nations. These Nations are at war and have
increased the danger for Israel and a nuclear Iran in the coming years.
The administration of America has increased the leadership of the Muslim
brotherhood creating a more fanatical terrorist state that threatens
Israel’s existence as a nation.
As of
2012
the world is on the edge of a financial collapse that could destroy the
economy of Europe and America, one of the lone supporters of the nation
of Israel. Keep in mind that Barrack Obama has declared the position of
the United States is to divide the land of Israel to pre-1967 borders
for the creation of a Palestine state within Israel.
2013 through
2014 will provide the leading events in the next
2014 - 2015
blood moons (tetrads) that are predicted to occur. The events may
involve war in the Middle East and a financial crisis around the world
that will affect the land of Israel or the Jewish elite in New York
City. The instability around the world is evident throughout end time
Prophecy in His Word.
The world is going on running to and fro, not paying attention. Timothy is prrretty clear:
2 Timothy 3
New King James Version (NKJV)
Perilous Times and Perilous Men
3 But
know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men
will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving,
unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of
good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than
lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And
from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into
households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins,
led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to
the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses,
so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved
concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their
folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.
Are you ready?
The eclipses of the sun and moon confront us with precise dates which cannot be manipulated! Nevertheless,
these signs should not be seen as an attempt to date-setting for the
Second Coming of Christ but rather as a wake-up call to be ready for
what may happen in the near future. Now is not the time to lapse into
spiritual slumber like the
Matthew 25 foolish virgins.
Repeated
calls by radical Muslims for a world-wide jihad are now heard
everywhere - from Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt,
the Palestinian territories in Israel, and even from Muslim groups in
London. The scene is set to launch a major attack against non-Islamic
infidels. The suicide bomb mentality of these terrorist Islamists has
over and over demonstrated that they have a fanatical, religious-driven
hatred for their enemies and will not hesitate to plunge the whole world
into chaos!
Israel still remains their most important target, but the Lord will not allow them to annihilate His people. According to;
Psalm 83 Israel’s surrounding Arab enemies and
Ezekiel 39:1 - 5
radical Islamist Muslims who will invade Israel under the leadership of
Russia (Magog) will be destroyed on the mountains of Israel. That,
together with the rapture, will bring about the end of the church
dispensation and offer the Antichrist the opportunity to be revealed as
Satan's world leader.
NOTE:
There is a huge difference between astrology and astronomy. Astronomy
is a natural science that deals with the study of celestial objects
(such as stars, planets, comets, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies)
and observing the cycles in the heavens.
Astrology is
witchcraft, where they believe the order of the stars leads them to a
successful life or warns them of things coming. In biblical times,
watchmen were posted on the walls surrounding the city. They not only
watched for an enemy approaching, they also recorded anything happening
in the night sky. From historical events on earth during the same time
that unusual heavenly events were recorded, they observed a relationship
pattern of occurrences relating to heaven and earth. (Israel’s calendar
is linked with the cycles of the moon, but keeps with the solar cycle
by their leap years).
Mark 13:24 - 46, "But in those days
the sun shall be darkened (eclipse) and the moon shall not give its
light (eclipse) then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds
of heaven with power and great glory."
Yeshua
(Jesus) told His disciples what would be the signs of the end of the
age and some of them involved signs in the heavens he closes commanding
them to ‘watch’ 4 times. To be a "Watcher, and observe what is happening
in the heavens" relating to the Last Day, when "unusual signs" are seen
in the heavens we watch, pray and record.
"Does YHWH (Yahweh God) use the moon for signs?" Yes:
Genesis 1:14, Luke 21:25.
"Are Feasts relevant to Yahweh, and related to the moon?" Yes:
Leviticus 23.
"Are blood-red moons prophetic in Scripture?" Yes:
Joel 2:10, 31; Acts 2:20; Revelations 6:12.
"
Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen..." - Luke 21:36
Yeshua (Jesus) spoke those words after He warned us of many of the
events that will happen in the end times. They are especially relevant
to us today when we consider current headlines are now fulfilling Bible
prophecy at an absolutely amazing rate — which is setting the stage for
more ominous events to happen at any time. The signs are sometimes
obvious, such as rumblings in the Middle East, economic turmoil, shifts
in geopolitical policy, earthquakes, signs from heaven, and more. At
other times, the clues are more subtle, yet equally astounding to those
who know Bible prophecy.
You look at the world and you
hang your head in shame. It is so sad to see mankind destroying each
other and choosing this world over God. In every aspect of life, we see
the God of the universe and His creation on two different roads. One is
filled with love, patience, kindness, and salvation, where the other is
filled with hate, murder, adultery, and perversion. No wonder our world
is in such a mess. Creation is groaning for the day when the Father will
make all things new.
The United States should have
never
taken its protection off Israel!. The US is slowly distancing itself
from Israel while aiding her enemies. As the US is drawing away, Israel
will soon find another protector which will bring her real salvation,
namely Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ). The situation in the Middle
East is precarious, and at any given moment hostilities can break out.
Iran and Russia are using Syria to draw Israel into a war, and they may
be successful. In February, Iranian President, Ahmadinejad visited Egypt
and received a welcome from Morsi the Egyptian President and Muslim
Brotherhood… this is also to be a warning alarm! At the same time that
all this was taking place, a surprise announcement that Obama would be
visiting Israel in March… a first since visit since he was only a
candidate for presidency? We suspect it is to push for a peace treaty
and Palestinian state and pre 1967 borders! In any case, we have the
enemies of Israel's military might playing out before our very eyes.
There are various indications that the tension between Israel and her
Muslim neighbors are close to breaking-point. Iran's president and
religious leaders have made renewed calls for the complete annihilation
of Israel. Their nuclear programme has been accelerated and they have
armed Hezbollah in Lebanon to the teeth. Again, I ask you are you
ready? Which road are you on ?
Matthew 7:13-14 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Narrow Way
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide
is the gate and broad
is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because[a] narrow
is the gate and difficult
is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
