To explain a bit further...The teaching of the four blood moons has recently captivated the attention of the religious world. This teaching states that, when four consecutive blood moons fall on Jewish feast days, a major event affecting the Jewish people will occur in close proximity to that time.
This phenomenon of four consecutive blood moons coinciding with Jewish feast days has only occurred ten times since 1 AD and only three times since 1492 AD. The three times since 1492 are as follows:

  • Tetrad of 1493-1494
  • Tetrad of 1949-1950
  • Tetrad of 1967-1968
Major events affecting the Jewish people have occurred in close proximity to all three of these tetrads.
The Spanish Inquisition Took Place in 1492 Just Before the Tetrad of 1493-1494

The Nation of Israel Reborn on May 14, 1948 Just Before the Tetrad of 1949-1950

The City of Jerusalem was Reunited During Tetrad of 1967-1968

​Not sure what I think on these teachings any opinions?

Scripture does not lay any significance to them.

Blood moons and black skies in Scripture line up with the 6th Seal and the Day of the Lord. The Day of the Lord is essentially the Great Tribulation, the Lords return, and the purification of this world by fire (sort of like the global flood - but all of mankind's works will be burned up).

The Day of the Lord in the End Times is an answer to the 5th Seal of God's people crying out for vengeance for having been killed by the 4th Seal of death with the enforcement of the Mark of the Beast.

I guess some would say they are the signs Jesus was saying to watch for in the NT.

The tetrads are not the heavenly signs. The heavenly signs occur once in all of history. It is actually the opening of the sixth seal indicating the end of the Tribulation and the beginning of the Day of the Lord...

Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth

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;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Although the tetrads are interesting, they are just that. They are not the heavenly signs and are not predicted in the Bible.

Sixth Seal is not the end of the Tribulation. It is a part of the last 3 and a half years of the Tribulation. For there are things that come out of the 6th seal and this takes time.

Sure it is, the Tribulation is 2-1/2 years and the Day of the Lord is 1 year. By common usage, the entire 3-1/2 year period has come to be known as the Tribulation. If you carefully read

Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

You see that these heavenly signs occur when? AFTER the Tribulation of those days.

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;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

God's wrath comes immediately after the heavenly signs. Right after the sixth seal (the heavenly signs) comes this...

Rev 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

And that is composed of seven Trumpets, the Last of which is the return of Christ and the seven last plagues...

These are not new phenomenon. They've happened in the past. Guess what major events took place each time. None. It's happened before and meant nothing.

I think that the instance of the four blood moons is rather rare. Not sure what I think on it just saying what the belief is about as much as I know of it.

The Tribulation is 7 years. In the middle of the Tribulation is the Abomination of Desolations, which leads to the mark of the Beast.

Look at Matthew 24:29 a little closer. The moon is not blood red. The moon is said to have no light.

Although the blood moons are interesting and may have a dual (scripture) meaning, I believe the blood moons you are referring to in the NT are figurative, not literal.

What is the eternal purpose of God? Hint: read Ephesians 3...

As far I understand scripture and prophecy, all that needs to happen besides His second coming is that Christians need to get unified, then the whole world will know Him (John 17).

But what do I know, I'm just pretertist/amillennialist (realized millennium).

These events never happened on the exact date of the blood moons. What about all the events that happened without blood moons. It's a bunch of needless speculation and nonsense that causes confusion among Christians IMHO.

The 4 "blood" moons as some prophecy bluffs call them today are nothing but the common eclipse of the sun and moon

The darkening of the sun and the appearance of a "red" moon from the earth is nothing new and has been a natural phenomena for eons

The prophetic scriptures tell of something very different in conjunction with the coming day of the Lord

Revelation 6:12 gives the first triggered by a worldwide earthquake associated with the attack of the beast and his 10 cohorts upon the great city part of MBG at the beginning of the coming tribulation period

Matthew 24:29 tells of the next after the tribulation

These two events are not the same, but separated by 2550 days of the tribulation period

It is the initial great earthquake that triggers the first, and this event will come with no prior warning

Revelation repeats the advent of the earthquake and adds more details beginning in 8:5

On the very same day the first judgment of the tribulation from the Lord will be the destruction of the great city of MBG [Revelation 8:6-12; 14:8; 17:8-18; 18:1-21]

The magnitude of this destruction will send vast amounts of debris into the atmosphere on a global scale and will cause the darkness and the appearance of a red moon as seen from the earth

The same darkness at the end of the tribulation will be caused differently .... by cosmic disturbances in the heavens associated with the Lord's visible appearance to earth dwellers, just after the days of the tribulation

Neither of these two events will be like the common eclipse of the sun and moon

There are always false teachers around who will attempt to create sensational settings and tell that these are the signs of the end of the age for many reasons ..... to gain a following and to make merchandise of the unsuspecting who will accommodate them

In the case of the 4 "blood moons ..... just another hoax

In fact there will be no signs or warning of the dating of the beginning of the day of the Lord ..... all of these things that are associated will take place within the scope of the time frame and not before

The day of the Lord will come as a thief does .... no warning [Matthew 24:36-39; 25:1-13]

Genesis teaches clearly that the sun, moon and stars are created for SIGNS, SEASONS, DAYS and YEARS so....I would rely upon what the bible teaches as opposed to the opinions and conjecture of mere men......!
