Four blood moons, much to do about nothing.

[pottersclay]

Just to be a fly in the ointment, what if haggee was right and something happened or is about to happen?
I remember reading about magi who followed a star to the town that the Lord was born, and according to scripture it wasn't on the day of his birth but he was a small lad.....why didn't the jews know the meaning of the star? Where did the magi get there info? And I believe the holy spirit was in involved with the story.
I don't put God in a box, is God trying to get our attention? If so why... just saying I'm just a simple person lol.

Good day Pottersclay,

As previously posted, this prophecy is not restricted to the moon turning blood red/being darkened. The first event listed is the great earthquake, followed by the darkening of the sun and the stars (meteorites/asteroids/etc.) falling from heaven to the earth. This event is also mentioned in Isaiah, Joel, Matthew,Mark and in detail in Revelation as the sixth seal. All of these characteristics belong to the sixth seal and must take place in close proximity to one another, as they are all part of the same event. Also, this event, just like the rest of the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments, will not have to be guessed at whether or not it is the real thing, like people have been doing with this blood moon stuff. If you have to wonder about it, then it hasn't taken place yet, for these events are definitely meant to be noticed, for they are the wrath of God!

But nothing happened. Besides, the moon turning to blood and the sun looking black, points to the Day of the Lord and we are not there yeet

Of course nothing happened, before the final blood moon I told everyone not expect something to happen because the blood moons are signs they are not the instigators of events.
As for the day of the Lord we may not be there yet but often times a storm appears very far away but then suddenly the storm is here. Time is far different with God than it is us and a lot of times we are looking through the wrong end of the telescope it all seems very far away but then you see you are looking through the wrong end and it turns out the storm is literally at your door.

Ahwatukee, thank you for the reply my friend, now may I ask where is the star of Bethlehem prophesied in the bible? If so why did it seem that only the magi knew of it?

Personally, I have never come across anywhere that it is mentioned in the OT. The only mention of it where Christ would come from is found in Micah 5:2 which says:

"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times."


But the above does not mention anything about a star. Also, it may not have been a literal star. For one, we know that literal stars are in fixed positions light years away, so no matter how far a person traveled, you would never be able to get up underneath a star, much have it lead you anywhere. In the book of Revelation "stars" are used symbolically to represent different things, one being angels, as in the star/angel that opens the Abyss in Rev.9 and stars in Rev.12 which represent Satan's angels. So, it may be here as well that the star is symbolic for an angel. Obviously to the Magi, it looked like a star, being bright in the sky, but it was moving, leading them to Bethlehem and therefore because of this, it was obviously no normal star.

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.

John Hagee was off base to restrict the timeframe that way; but, IMO, John Hagee being off base is not unusual.

The significance of the four blood moons of 2014 and 2015, if any, should make itself known within one lunar year of 13

Abib 5775 (2015-2016). If the event were to precede the eclipses, could Obama's nuclear treaty wirh Iran, or the rededication of the altar be the significant event?

 

[KJV1611]

But the Bible does not say this. If this is from Jewish religious tradition, we can't go by that, just the Bible.

Everything I posted comes from the bible.

well were is the line between "off base" and "false prophet", why give any preacher multiple chances to be wrong while claiming he speaks from God.

these end time prophecies constantly being wrong by famous "preachers" is one of the major points of ridicule that non-christians rightly have against us.

they use to stone "prophets" who's prophecies didn't come true, and that's really a problem nowdays there's no accountability, we have preachers making all these end time prophecies at certain dates and when nothing happens they don't even lose their jobs, but go on as though it's just another day

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?

No, it didn't happen by chance as God set it into motion for it to happen but it really didn't mean anything prophetically as the moon turning to blood is but one of the signals for the Day of the Lord and nothing happened as we are not there yet.
