True, but not before the initial intervention to bring His judgment upon the earth .... before which no signs will be given

The day of the Lord will come as a thief comes ..... no warning ..... this is His own admonition

The signs will show at the beginning of the period and during .... all leading up to His appearance upon the earth at the end of it

.... but there will be no signs of any kind given by Him before the starting

The "blood moons" are a fabrication of certain prophecy buffs who want to stir the pot

When history repeats itself and the moon lines up perfectly on these specific Jewish dates it would be no surprise to me if that it is a sign.
God is in control of it all.

All I know of the them is that I was prevented from seeing the first two of the tetrads as the sky was completely overcast with thick clouds both times, and that I was strangely comforted by that.

I'd have to look up the details again, as I've forgotten, but I believe only one of the eclipses was visible from Israel. So can the eclipse be a sign pertaining to Israel if only one of the four are visible from that location? I am quite sure that in antiquity this would not have been the case as signs generally have to be visible, yes?

The only reliable source for truth on this matter is the Lord's more sure word of prophecy

There will be no signs given just before the His next intervention into the affairs of humanity

A thief does not warn you before hand that he is coming

The lunar tetrad of 2014-2015: It is four successive total lunar eclipses, with no partial lunar eclipses in between, each of which is separated from the other by six lunar months (six full moons)

2014:
Total lunar eclipse: April 15
Total lunar eclipse: October 8

2015:
Total lunar eclipse: April 4
Total lunar eclipse: September 28

No doubt.....once maybe twice can be construed as a coincidence, but when it gets beyond a few times it would seem to be a little more than a coincidence....!

Genesis.....God said the creation of the sun, moon and stars would be for signs, seasons, days and years...with no particular application to Israel found within the text as Israel as an entity had not yet come on line....!

Of course we are not in darkness .... and we are ready all of the time; today, tomorrow, next year

He is still going to come as a thief with no prior signs or warnings given .... this is why one mus be ready at all times

Otherwise, if the unsaved knew the signs and warnings beforehand they would linger until

No one knows the day or even the moment, but the Lord's true ecclesia are ready

All of the signs and warnings related to the end of this present age will not begin to come to pass until the very first day of the coming tribulation .... and all of them will point to the Lord's visible appearance at the ending of the same

The 4 eclipse moons will likely come and go .... but the Lord could intervene before this day is over

The problem with making false predictions should be evident .... many have done this and do this .... when the prophecy does not come to pass people are left with doubt

Here are the "blood moons" of the Bible. Note they are not lunar eclipses, the sun also being dark, and the time frame the day of the Lord,

Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come.

Revelation 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.

It's like this "Psalm 83 war" that isn't in Psalm 83, rather the fodder of a best selling book. A book doesn't become a best seller without having something sensational about it, and people really should be warned faithful Bible exegesis doesn't make such as the New York Times list. There's speculation, but another thing what the Bible, the word of God, actually states.

The moon does not ACTUALLY turn into blood! That's ridiculous. Acts 2:20 "the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood" is a metaphor meaning that as the moon eclipses the sun, the sun goes dark, and the two eclipsing each other turns the moon to a reddish color. :)

Well, guys, can agree this seems most reasonable, though can't imagine the disappointment at Red Cross headquarters. On the other hand, you don't think the Lord could turn the moon to blood? There was red water rafting in Egypt, for a time.

"Did somebody make predictions? I didn't realize that somebody made predictions"


Again the signs of the tribulation will not come until it starts .... not before

The "blood moons" that are touted today as having a relationship with the coming tribulation do not .... we are not in the tribulation period

When it does come .... all on the earth will know without question [Revelation 6:12-17] .... these things will not be done in a corner

Fast and loose application of the Lord's prophetic word is not a good idea because it sends false signals and when nothing comes to pass as suggested this makes Christianity out to be a ruse as people look on

Acts
1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.


This is why the statement is made in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-9 .... there is no need to discuss the issue

.... because the true believer is already "ready" ..... does not need any signage

Well well, blood moons huh? There is so much to say about that. Look at history of things that happened during the time in between these phases. The one that sticks out the most to me is in 1948 when Israel was finally given its statehood and became independent in their own rights. I think God does things His own way and things in this last year since our two blood moons and the two blood moons next year all falling on Gods Holy days seriously have to make you wonder what He is up to now. The bible speaks of signs and wonders, I don't believe this has anything to do with Christ's return as of yet but I have really noticed a very big change in the world we live in as of late. God will always give us a way to identify when He is about to do something big, we just really need to be quiet, read His word and watch. Like I said though, these signs (blood moons) have always come about on His Holy days I don't believe it is a coincidence.
