BLOOD MOON and the BIBLICAL PROPHECIES



What is a Blood moon? What does NASA says about it and how does it match with the Biblical prophecies.

The Bible says the moon will turn into blood. Yes, this is not the first time in the history when the moon is going to turn into blood on September 28, 2015. According to NASA, normally there are 2 solar and 2 lunar eclipses in a year, approximately on an interval of six months. When four blood moons happens to appear in close succession, it is termed as a tetrad. This normally happens in 1½ years’ time period. Tetrads are very rare. Since from 1 AD total number of lunar eclipse taken place till date are approximately 4029 out of that only 55 blood moons (tetrads) have taken place in 2015 years.

It has been analyzed by the world religious scholars that when 4 consecutive blood moons falls on Jewish feasts days, a major event takes place affecting the Jewish people in the close proximity to that time. This 4 consecutive blood moons coinciding with the Jewish feast days has occurred 7 times only since 1 AD and only three times since 1492 AD. They are as follows :

Tetrad 1493 – 1494 :
The Spanish inquisition took place in 1492 just before the tetrad of 1493 – 1494, where the Jewish population was asked to convert to Catholic or leave the country within 4 months of time. That time approximately 4,00,000 Jews left the country and approximately 50,000 decided to stay back and were converted to Roman Catholic.

These converted Jews were then blamed that they were not sincere in Christianity and were tortured for confessions and then blaming them that they were false converts  were burnt.

Tetrad 1949 – 1950 :
The reborn of the Israel nation on May 14, 1948 just before the tetrad of 1949 – 1950, where Jews retained their identity after 1,878 years of exile after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD

Tetrad 1967 – 1968 :
Reunion of Jerusalem city and Israel. During tetrad of 1967 – 1968, where the Jordanians attacked Israel and west Jerusalem on June 7, 1967. In the counter attack by Israel, Jordon was driven out of east Jerusalem and Judea-Samaria, back into its own land across Jordan River. Jerusalem was undividedly under the Jewish control once again, since the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

These are the 3 tetrads fallen on the Jewish feasts days as major events in Jewish history in the last 500 years and now, it’s the fourth time of blood moon from April 15, 2014 to September 28, 2015 according to NASA. They are as follows :

·     April 15, 2014                                 Passover
·     October 8, 2014                              Feast of Tabernacles
·     April 4, 2015                                    Passover
·     September 28, 2015                     Feast of Tabernacles

Out of 4 eclipses 3 are already over and the 4th one will occur on September 28, 2015. The moon will be very close to the earth due to its orbital location that’s why the moon will appear to be 14% bigger as compared to normal days. This bigger moon is termed as a Super Moon.

Some Biblical research scholars and prophecy teachers are declaring that this tetrad just ahead signals something very important, which will change the world forever. If the pattern of the last, three tetrad continues, then some major events for the Jewish people are expected. That is:

The Bible prophecies, that a peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians may be signed.

What will the peace agreement?
According to the biblical prophecy, the signing of a Middle East peace agreement will mark the beginning of the Final Seven Years to Armageddon and the Second Coming of Jesus to the earth.
  • Under the agreement, the Antichrist and the International Community will recognize Israel’s right to a homeland in the Holy Land.
  • A Palestinian state will be created in the West Bank, which is the biblical area of Judea. There are presently 650,000 Jews living in Judea.
  • Many of the Jews presently living in the parts of Judea that will become the new Palestinian state will decide to remain in their homes living as a Jewish minority in Palestine.
  • The dispute over control of the Temple Mount will be solved by placing it under a sharing arrangement between Muslims and Jews.
  • Israel will build its Third Temple on the Temple Mount without disturbing the Dome of the Rock or the Al Aqsa Mosque.
  • Israel’s temple will be completed during the first three and a half years after the signing of the agreement.
  • Halfway through the final seven years, the Antichrist will stand in the Temple claiming to be Messiah and God. The scriptures call this the Abomination of Desolation.

Jesus Himself gave the prophecy in the most famous prophecy chapter of the entire Bible. Matthew 24:15-18, 21 records the prophecy: “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand :) Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes…For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”
The Prophet Zechariah referred to the “day of the Lord” in Zechariah 14:1-4,
“Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.”

Now I end this article with these Bible verses mentioned in 1 Thessalonian 5:11, “Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.”
