I'm not sure that sabbath keeping (on a strict level) is Biblical. The way I see it is we have 7 days to worship and praise Him. We have one day of rest, but is it important that we have the sabbath? In Romans we read: Rom 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. I am persuaded that I honour God all days of the week. I have certainly worked on saturday, and see nothing wrong with it. I know those who are very strict Sabbath keepers, and I respect them as true christians. But I still do not agree that we must keep a strict sabbath in the New Testament.

There are at least two views here. Some take this as they must pray over their food at ever meal. Not sure about snacks! But others pray regularly that God bless them, their food, and so on. I am in the last category. I cannot see the reason to say "grace" at every meal, and no one I know says "grace" at a snack. I cannot find any Scripture that the apostles said "grace." So far as I'm concerned, I believe that regular pray blesses all food.

I'm skeptical too. The problem for me is that the Bible mentions much more than just blood moons, it also mentions: the sun being darkened, a great earthquake, the start of heaven falling, etc. As far as I can see from Joel and Revelation these signs all occur at about the same time. There is so much time being devoted to one sign to the exclusion of all the others. These things have not happened yet. The blood moons are not occurring with the other signs. And btw, it is my opinion that the blood moon cannot be an eclipse. It is impossible for the moon and the sun to be darkened at the same time. A lunar and solar eclipse just cannot occur at about the same time. Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; Again, to clarify, I'm not saying the blood moons are a sign of the end times. (Although I'm not saying they aren't either.) My focus here, if you read through the thread, is that they are warning signs to Israel and other countries who try to come against her and divide her. What I'm looking for from skeptics is to disprove the evidence and history given in the videos I've mentioned. If there's nothing to the blood moon tetrad, then disproving the information/history in the videos shouldn't be difficult. Also again, I ask this sincerely, not as a hissy fit challenge. I respect people's skepticism. I truly do. But, I would hope people are wise enough to not stop there and examine it for themselves. Skepticism isn't facts. Also, if the information given in the videos is true, then it most certainly warrants our time and efforts to study and pray about, especially in the days we're living in. To ignore it shows a complete lack of discernment at the least. A lack of wisdom at the most. I took that time (over a year) to study, fast and pray about it. I'm convinced that 2015 is going to catch the world off-guard. And, sadly, many Christians, too. It's also not a coincidence that the Holy Spirit has placed a sense of urgency in my spirit concerning our time left here. I realize that means nothing to anyone here because you don't know me, and that's fine. But, as a Christian for almost 32 years, I know how the Holy Spirit works in my life and this is unmistakable. We are going to have to agree to disagree. I cannot get past the grouping of the signs in the Bible. They are grouped together. One sign from the group does not mean anything. It is the whole set of signs. So I would not agree that these are signs of the end times. I do realize that this was not a challenge. Just thought it should be pointed out. God bless
