Anyone keep up with the "Blood Moons"

[exrockstar]

Last year I stumbled across Hagee's Blood Moons presentation online but didn't pay attention to it. I recently found out we had a blood moon on April 4th. We don't talk about this at our church and I don't look at TV much so I don't have much ways to keep up with what's going on in my daily routine.

Is anyone here following this? Is there one video link you can recommend that will give a "wow" impression?

 

I have always thought that Matthew 24:36 "But about that day or hour no one knows ... but apparently some people think they know?

 

Any insight is appreciated.

i know very little, other than that there's another one coming in august... and all four have (or will have) fallen on jewish holidays, with a solar eclipse somewhere in the midst (which just happened a couple of weeks ago.) from what i understand, this is the first time since the year of the crucifixion that has happened... although the solar eclipse happened ON the day of the crucifixion last time.

 

how it all plays out in relation to prophecy is still something that confounds me.

The blood moon tetrad has occurred many times over the last 2,000 years and many times they occurred with no connection to Israel.  They are nothing more than lunar eclipses and have nothing to do with biblical events.

Eight times since since the first century I believe, but don't quote me.

Yes. I was browsing online last night, which is why I'm posting here about it, and some people are connecting the 6 day war and the founding of Israel with the moons. I was going to go look and verify but truth be told I try not to listen to things like this because I've heard many times in my life how some one has figured out the end times dates and have been wrong. Sorry for the run on sentence.

I do believe that God communicates with scripture and astronomy (the wise men following the star). The blood moons and "the moon turned to blood" is an interesting connection though. But so is Rosh Hashanah and the blowing of trumpets in Revelations.

they have happened 8 times since 1 AD

 

 

Within a year or so of the last three some interesting things have happened to Israel within a year of them and some people are placing important things happening to Israel coinciding with these.    But the first five don't seem to relate to Israel so much.

162 - 163 AD  Tetrad

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.

795 - 796 AD  Tetrad

 

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.

842 - 843 AD  Tetrad

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.

860 - 861 AD  Tetrad

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 the Jewish people and Israel reborn

1493 - 1494 AD Tetrad

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, rumours 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?

1949 - 1950 AD  Tetrad

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.

1967 - 1968 AD  Tetrad

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 neighbours prepared to destroy the Jewish state, Israel invoked its inherent right of self-defence, 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.

For people looking for coincidences, this looks pretty interesting....  

I think the main problem with the tetrads is that there is really nothing Biblical that I have been able to find in telling us to watch for them....

 

However the coincidences are really remarkable when you look at them objectively.....      So what's going to happen this time around if there really is something to them.......      Well considering the state of things in and around Israel, I would imagine just about anything is possible and whatever occurs those making a big deal out of the tetrads will be able to say   "see i told you to watch".

 

 

My personal hope is for God Almighty Himself to find my president a real job by the end of the year.  Might be a big help for the nation of Israel..

We've passed 3 red moons so far for this group. What significant thing has happened? I'm noticing what I'm asking sounds doubtful but not sure what's the purpose. Or maybe they're waiting for the last one to be "the one?"

if that was in reference to what i posted, i meant that it's the first time in 2000 years that they have all fallen on jewish holidays.
