The so called four blood moons of 2014 and 2015 turned out to be much to do about nothing and September 2015 called by some to be a month to remember came and went with a wimper. People like John Hagee were saying things like, "the coming blood moons points to an earth shaking event that will happen between April 2014 and October 2015" but nothing happened! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoVJkeHuzuE

And a host of others were saying that Jesus was coming for His church on the Jewish feast days and it was going to happen in Sept. 2015 because the series of four blood moons on Jewish feasts days will not occur again for hundreds of years, and others were saying that the American economy would fall apart and the dollar would collapse at that time and none of this happened either! Not to mention the 2.5 mile comment that was to also hit the earth in September!

Part of the problem is people like Mark Biltz were saying that "no one knows the day or the hour" really means the Feast of Trumpets but if we read Mark 13:32 along with the next verse Mark 13:33 we see that not only does no one know the day or the hour but also we don't know when the time is, Jesus' own words.

Another thing, Hagee and Biltz quoted Jewish rabbis and not the Bible when they said that lunar eclipses mean events about Israel and solar eclipses, there was also a total solar eclipse in Sept. 2015, mean judgment for the world but really Joel 2, Revelation 6, and Acts 2 specifically say the moon turning to blood and sun looking black are part of the signs that signal the Day of the Lord not events in Israel's history regardless if the series of four total lunar eclipses seemed to coincide with Jewish events in the past. But in each of those cases the eclipses happened after the events they supposedly foretold, 1492, 1948, and 1967. As could something that comes after the fact be a prophesy?


Mark 13:32-33 New King James Version (NKJV)[SUP]32 [/SUP]“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. [SUP]33 [/SUP]Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.

What else would we expect from Hagee and Biltz... they're shiesters trying to sell books to the gullible.

The blood moons were greatly misunderstood. The blood moons tetrads were a sign they were never going to bring doom or a major event in bible history the bible clearly states they are signs not the instigation of events

And God said, "Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years,

Psalm 104:19 He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.

The blood moons were not a bunch of nothing they were a warning

Acts 2 :20
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

It didn't have to say 4 blood moons, the bible is never something that gives exact details you have to have the holy spirits insight to under stand it.

The fact that in the blood moon tetrad not only had the sun turn black but also that each moon landed on two specific Jewish holy days on the dot speaks great volume

And where is that great earthquake and the stars (meteorites/asteroids, etc.) that fall from heaven to the earth. And when did the people of the earth call upon the mountains and rocks to fall upon them to hide them from the face of the One who sits upon the throne? All of these characteristics are apart of the sixth seal which will happen in close proximity to each other, which would then lead to the seventh seal and on to the trumpet judgments. The answer is that, none of those eclipses were the fulfillment of sixth seal, but just typical eclipses. The sixth seal is yet future, as is the first seal. None of theses things has happened yet and God's wrath will not begin until the Lamb opens that fist seal.

This is incorrect! The great earthquake, the sun being darkened and the moon not giving its light or turning blood red and the stars falling from heaven to earth, are synonymous with the sixth seal and which is part of God's wrath. Also, the verse says, "the moon was turned to blood," which is in the singular, not four blood moons. By the way, the word of God is full of detailed information.

Well don't you think the odds that each blood moon landing on the holy days of the jewish religion are extremely slim? Do you think that happened by chance?

The great earthquake could happen very soon but the bible never said in which order it would be in regards to the moons and the earthquake. but the sixth seal happens in the tribulaton and as far as I can see we are not in the tribulation.

The moon did turn to blood so the bible was spot on wasn't it?
if you study bible prophecy you cannot be looking for specific details like that, there much symbolism in the bible so how do you take that as full detailed info? the bible was made in a way where only God can reveal to us it's full meaning, just because it didn't say 4 blood moons doesn't discount the fact that what the bible said would happen happened

It may be odd but it has nothing to do with prophecy.

Blain the moon didn't turn to blood, the earth blocked the sun and gave it a red hue. The bible says the moon will turn to blood, not turn red, isn't that what we should be looking for?

Something I have learned is that there are no accidents and no coincidences.The blood moon to the jews is a bad omen in many cultures a blood moon symbolizes war or a great and terrible event coming and I find it interesting that this is exactly what the tribulation is. Can you explain to me how it has nothing to do with bible prophecy?

So you were expecting for the moon to literally turn to blood? In bible prophecy there is much symbolism so in saying the moon turning to blood clearly means the moon turning red

There are also alot of metaphors in the bible.. "Turn to blood" is a metaphor for whatever it is that turns the moon red during an eclipse. :)
