Beginning April 15, 2014 there will be a blood moon or a lunar eclipse at midnight PDT. This will occur on Passover. Another blood moon appears on October 8, 2014 on Feast of the Tabernacles. Then again a blood moon happens on April 4, 2015 on Passover and again on September 28, 2015 on Feast of the Tabernacles. Anytime there have been four lunar eclipses in a row, where the moon turns blood red, each appearing on a Jewish holiday, a major event has occurred.

In 1492 during four blood moons the Spanish inquisition of Jews occurred. All Jews were told to convert to Catholicism or leave the country. Many of those who stayed were killed. That same year an Italian Jew, Columbus, who was mostly financially supported by Jewish investors and the queen, set sail and discovered the American continent at San Salvador. Some believe many Jews from the lost tribes of Israel migrated to England. From England they came to help settle America. The Americas may have been created partly to protect Jewish citizens, from the lost tribes, as well as militarily protection for Israel. America was founded on Jewish/Christian principles and morality. At the same time, Christianity spread throughout the United States. When the Jews failed to spread God’s message to the Gentiles, He used Christianity to do so. Christians have taken the Gospel to most every country as the Bible prophesied.

In 1948, the next time that there were four blood red moons falling on Jewish religious holidays, Israel on May 14, 1948 became a homeland to the Israelites and an official country. God began calling Jews from all over the world to return to their God-given covenant land as previously prophesied.

The next time this lunar eclipse phenomenon occurred was in 1967. Israel was attacked by Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon and they repelled their enemies. The war lasted six days and Israel captured Sinai, Golan Heights, Gaza Strip and the West Bank. They were able to unify control over Jerusalem their covenant land. The Soviet Union supplied most of their enemies’ military equipment and economic assistance. President Lyndon Johnson rallied to assist Israel. During this war there were a number of supernatural events that happened and the Jews believed it was because God was on their side.

Some believe this next 18 months when we again have four blood moons when the lunar eclipses fall on Jewish holidays some major event will occur. It will be 100 years before we have another time when they fall on Jewish holidays. Since Christ’s birth there have been seven times these red blood eclipse have happened.

There have been other times in history when this has happened to fulfill Bible prophecy. If you remember when Jesus was born Herod wanted to know where Jesus was living. Yet, wise men from foreign countries were able to find Him by following a star. Herod told the wise men to direct him to where Jesus was. However, they returned a different way than they had come to avoid Herod.

Jesus’ father, Joseph had a dream telling him to take Jesus and his family to Egypt. Unbeknownst to Herod, he had every male child; two years old and younger murdered trying to kill Jesus Christ. It was only after Herod’s death that the family returned to Israel.

My belief is that what happens in the next 18 months is prophesied in the Bible. However, we will not know what that will be until after it happens. Throughout the years God has made His self known to the Israelites. They continued to deny His existence and worshiped hand-made idols. Their continual disobedience to His will and His Commandments made God angry and He often punished them. From AD 70 to 1948 they were spread throughout the world with no homeland available. For those who knew their Bible realized that there would be a day when God would bring them back to the land He promised as their inheritance. So we wait with anticipation hoping that the coming event will be a positive and not a negative.

Joel 2:30 – 31 – “I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.”

Joel 2:30 NIV study Bible indicates “show wonders” means giving a picture or hint of a coming event.
Acts 2:20 – “The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.”
Matthew 16:2 – 4 – “ He (Christ) replied, “You know the saying, ‘Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow; red sky in the morning means foul weather all day.’ You know how to interpret the weather signs in the sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the signs of the times!”
Genesis 1:14 – “Then God said, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them be signs to mark the seasons, days, and years.”
