It happened around 3 am for me too. I'm in the eastern United States. I'd set my alarm to see it but like I said, it was too cloudy.
Around 1 am in Colorado

I think This book completely violates what Jesus Said in Matt 24.14:

[SUP]14 [/SUP]And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

January: "Wolf Moon" (this is the name of December in Beard 1918) also "Old Moon"
February: "Snow Moon", also "Hunger Moon"
March: "Worm Moon", "Crow Moon", "Sap Moon", "Lenten Moon"
April: "Seed Moon", "Pink Moon", "Sprouting Grass Moon", "Egg Moon" (c.f. "Goose-Egg" in Beard 1918), "Fish Moon"
May: "Milk Moon", "Flower Moon", "Corn Planting Moon"
June: "Mead Moon", "Strawberry Moon" (c.f. Beard 1918), "Rose Moon", "Thunder Moon"
July: "Hay Moon", "Buck Moon", "Thunder Moon"

The sixth seal being opened mentions 'the full moon became like blood'. Revelation 6:12, it also mentions many other things happening at the same time, so we are obviously not at the opening of the 6th seal.
Still God reveals that the moon can appear to be blood red, as a witness to the world that what He has said will surely come to pass.

I did not stay up to see much of the eclipse. I think the first "blood moon" is supposed to occur tonight is it not? I was just curious to see what prophesy enthusiasts would have to say about these events.
I work 12a-8a and the moon looked weird last night. I looked kind of like it does during the eclipse, but it was not large - it was it's average size. It looked like it was about 3/4 moon, but it was not white like usual. I don't work tonight though so I may have to get up and look.

If any of the four are significant it will be the last one in Sept 2015. That's the only one to be seen from Jerusalem.

If he's trying to tie it into rapture, then I think he's wrong, because, well, there is no rapture (;))

But I think on some level there is something to be said with significant events happening regarding Israel as a nation during preceding blood moons, but I won't make any statement for or against a more prophetic meaning.
I read the bible through (and listened to it through even more) and I do not get where the rapture comes from other than the verses that says [SUP]40 [/SUP]Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. [SUP]41 [/SUP]Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. Is there more than this that "they" base this on?

I listened to Hagee's speel. He didn't tie in the rapture, said it could happen any time.

I read the book and all he talks about is how the rapture is coming and soon and the Blood moons and Joel 2 proves it. Again it is not in your face, but very subtle.

Still, he doesn't tie them together. In the sermons which took place Dec 2012, he said the rapture could happen before they walk out of church that day.

Rev. 6 is simply a presentation of symbols offered as judgment figures. This language is found all through scripture and never has anything to do with literal cosmic chaos.

"we're outta here" is i think his favorite applause line.

So what was the actual judgement if ch 6 is 'simply a presentation of symbols offered as judgment figures'?
What was the 'actual' wrath of the Lamb they were hiding from? Symbols?

Revelation 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;

And how do you know it was not literal cosmic chaos?

That's fine cross...and I am not debating you. Hagee will answer for everything at Judgement anyway, just like we all will. I think he stretched way to far on this book, and it comes off as sowing fear and confusion. There are other prophetic Eschatology voices that completely disagree with him, that I deem more credible than Hagee.

have a good one

don't get me wrong, I'm not a Hagite, I actually first learned this blood moon thing from a pastor Hagerman and I only look at the whole thing 'with interest'.

The language itself shows us that these images are not to be taken as literal. Just from the natural limitations alone we know that it is not possible for actual stars to fall to the earth or for humanity to survive such catastrophic calamity. If you like we can take a look at how scripture uses the symbolisms and what they signify when they are used.

I wouldn't mind but I don't want to derail any further this thread of yours which I seem to have a bad habit of doing.
