I never said, "it doesn't matter if the photo is not true". Again, my point was that a red moon was already expected to show in Israel...it was the only one of the three according to NASA to show itself red over Israel. There were many news photos substantiating that fact. You posted a non red moon photo (post 51) and acted like the red moon thing was a hoax. No, it was because the reddness of the moon was seen only in certain parts of the world.

There is no doubt the Bible prophetically speaks of a "blood moon." The prophet Joel envisioned it when he prophesied about the "great and awesome day" of the Lord:
Luke later quoted Joel in Acts 2:20, and the apostle John used the same prophecy in his apocalyptic book of the end times.
However, notice that in John's prophecy when the blood moon is mentioned, there are numerous other "signs and wonders" going on in the heavens. In fact, each time a blood moon is mentioned, it is in conjunction with other cosmic events occurring simultaneously. So if a biblical blood moon has occurred, we should also expect to see a darkened sun and only one blood moon, not tetrads. Furthermore, each writer pointed to the same future event.
The "tetrad" of blood moons is, biblically speaking, meaningless. Blood moons will be meaningless until one occurs in the Tribulation.
Joel 2, NASB
30 "I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke.
31 "The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.

Revelation 6
12 I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;
13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.

joel 2:31 seems to imply that the sun will be turned to darkness and the moon will be turned to blood at the same time...or at least in rapid succession...immediately or very shortly before the day of the lord...
this does not sound like a series of astronomical events lasting months or years such as the eclipse tetrad that was completed recently...
also since solar and lunar eclipses can take place no less than half a month apart...joel 2:31 would seem to rule out natural eclipses as the source of these signs...

Hi Rachel,
I agree with you, as I have been saying the same thing myself! And don't forget about the great earthquake that moves/stirs/excites the mountains and islands in their places which is also supposed to take place in close proximity to the sun being darkened and the moon being turned blood red. Regarding prophecy, all of the characteristics have to be present, not just one. Furthermore, I am convinced that when that sixth seal does take place, that it won't be something that is predictable my man. They're looking for blood moon's and yet ignoring the first part of the prophecy, which is the sun being darkened. Walter Camping who?

I dont agree with time setting,we dont know the time and we wont till it happens.Some preached this as absolute the rapture is happening. My pastor preached on it and he said "Im not setting a time,Im saying it may be the beginning of things happening" With Russia now in Syria it may be true,birth pangs may be starting.But my pastor never set a time or intimated that the rapture would take place.

I think what aggrevated people, me included was that "fanatical Christians" had led the Jews astray! When one of their own rabbi's predicted that Jesus would return Sept.12,2015 and I quote:
"When asked about the timing of the Messiah's arrival, Rabbi Kanievsky answered, "At the end of the Sabbatical year." Several people have asked the Rabbi to verify this and he has given the same answer each time. This year is the Sabbical year and it will be ending on the 29th day of Elul, which, by the Gregorian calender falls on Saturday, September 12, 2015."

I am saying as sort of a release of frustration it's not pointed to anyone one in particular but.... PPL STOP TRYING TO PREDICT JESUS RETURN BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW AND YOU WON'T KNOW SO CUT IT OUT.
Sorry about that it was building up for a long time over the many months of seeing ppl set dates and claiming when Jesus is coming back it gets so frustrating sometimes.....

2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

To put a time on it is not our jobs, but I have also heard something like this before... however God is outside of time and He is the only one knowing 
does take action it is a miraculous occurrence like parting the sea or raising the dead. People who try to predict the last days or point to a particular event encourage the scoffers you indicate in the verses you included in your last posted.
