Blood moon seen through

While most of the U.S.
is asleep Monday night, an astronomical phenomenon some mark as a sign of God’s
judgment will blaze uniquely across the skies of North America.
The first of four,
consecutive, total lunar eclipses, which cause a roughly hour-long reddening of
the moon known as a “Blood Moon,” will become visible beginning at 12:53 a.m.
ET on Tuesday, April 15.
Tuesday’s blood moon is
part of a “tetrad,” a set of complete and consecutive lunar eclipses that will
continue in roughly six-month intervals until October 2015.
Some consider it nothing
more than an alignment of the heavens, but others are watching much more
closely, because of the alignment with biblical prophecy.
Some, such as Pastor
Mark Biltz, author of “Blood Moons: Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs,” have
noticed each of the tetrad’s blood moons fall on Jewish holidays through this
year and next.
“We are on the verge of
witnessing something historic,” said Biltz, who discovered the blood moons
phenomenon in 2007. “This has happened only eight times over the last 2,000
years! And the last two times these occurred on the Jewish holidays there was a
war in the Middle East regarding the nation of Israel. These are patterns and
historical facts that cannot be disregarded. The Jewish Talmud records that
total lunar eclipses are indicators or omens for the nation of Israel.”
Biltz will discuss the
confluence of astronomical and biblical events during an appearance on “The
Today Show,” on Monday, April 15.
Bestselling author and
televangelist Pastor John Hagee claims the four blood moons that will soon
appear in the skies over America are evidence of a future “world-shaking
event.”
And author Doug Drake
noted that for sleeping Americans, the appearance of the blood moons over our
skies may have special significance.
“Maybe the message is
for us ‘sleepers’ here in the United States,” Drake wrote in a blog post. “We have turned from our faith in the
God of Bible. Maybe He has a message for us; or maybe not.”
Drake recognized the
words of the Bible’s 1 Thessalonians 5 speak directly to the signs of the times
and those who “sleep” while God is moving:
But of the times and the
seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know
perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when
they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as
travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren,
are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all
the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night,
nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch
and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken
be drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on
the breastplate of faith and love; and helmet, the hope of salvation. For God
hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus
Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live
together with him. Wherefore, comfort yourselves together, and edify one
another, even as also ye do. (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 KJV).
And while NASA predicts
there will be several tetrads in the 21st century, North Americans will have
the best view of the first, beginning Monday night.
“The most unique thing
about the 2014-2015 tetrad is that all of them are visible for all or parts of
the USA,” NASA eclipse expert Fred Espenak told CNN.
Biltz notes there’s
something else unique about this tetrad: it’s convergence with biblical holy
days.
The April 15 event, for example,
happens during Passover. On Oct. 8, the blood moon will occur during the Feast
of Tabernacles, or Sukkot. Another blood moon will occur during Passover
on April 4, 2015. The last will happen on Sept. 28, 2015, another Feast of the
Tabernacles.
Historically, a tetrad
also occurred in 1493, while the Jews were being expelled from Spain. Another
tetrad occurred in 1949, soon after the state of Israel was founded. The last
tetrad happened in 1967, during the Six-Day War between Arabs and Israelis.
Biltz discovered what
has become the “blood moon phenomenon” back in 2007, researching the
correlation between when blood moons fell on feast days and key historical
world events. He found the divine link between prophecy, heavenly signs,
historical events, and when they intersect.
His new book “Blood Moons: Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs” details
the science of astronomy in light of Bible prophecy. He began to teach and
explain his discovery of a series of lunar and solar eclipses that happened at
the same time important dates (Passover, Feast of Tabernacles) on the Hebrew
calendar.
“Blood Moons” was released nationwide March 18, and has
consistently been one of the top books sold on Amazon.com.
A full-length documentary produced by WND Films and featuring Biltz was also
released the same day.
As Passover nears,
millions of people around the world are watching with anticipation for the moon
to turn blood red with the first eclipse.
But Biltz said that to
really understand the meaning, it’s important to know the seasons, feasts and
calendar of the Lord.
Biltz, founder of El
Shaddai Ministries, is a well-known commentator on the feasts of the Lord who
has spoken in Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Canada and throughout the United
States.
When he appeared on The
Jim Bakker Show, host Jim Bakker called Biltz’ work, “the most important book
of the times.”
Biltz spent two-days
recording interviews with Lori and Jim Bakker at their Christian retreat in
Branson, Mo., with Bakker saying that these upcoming broadcasts will tell “the
definitive story of the impending blood moons by the man who discovered the
astronomical relationship behind the prophecy, heavenly signs and when they
intersect.”
Bakker told Pastor Biltz
that he read “Blood Moons” in exactly one setting, spending an entire night
consuming every page and detail set forth in the book.
Joseph Farah, who wrote
the foreword to “Blood Moons,” spoke with Pastor Biltz about the importance of being on God’s
calendar, as outlined in Genesis 1:14.
Farah said: “You are the
‘blood moons’ guy, you are the discoverer of something that has become a
phenomenon around the world. People recognizing God has given us heavenly signs
for our times. And talking about time, the whole world is on a seven-day
calendar and has been since God created the world. It’s in Genesis. What’s so
significant about those seven days unless it came from the hand of God?”
Biltz said “mankind has
been trying to change the seven day week forever, but it’s set in concrete, and
this is what God created, despite man’s greatest endeavors.”
“This is God’s
calendar,” he said.
