We have a very clear sky, but it is still light out. Plus, we are on the east side of the lake, and it is going to take a long time for the moon to be visible, above the mountains.
I observed one of these full moon lunar eclipses back in the earlty 1990's. It was well worth watching, astronomically speaking.
As for being predictive of anything, I just do not see it in the Bible. And that is being nice!

Yeah, same here. I truly don't believe that the event of the sixth seal will be the result of a lunar eclipse and because we are putting the cart before the horse, so to speak. What I mean is, we are missing the fulfillment of the first four seals. The first seal, which is the rider on the white horse, is the antichrist. He's a counterfeit of the rider on the white horse of Rev.19. The second seal, which is that rider on the red horse, is peace being removed from the entire earth and though we are seeing commotions and uprisings here and there, it is not nearly enough to fit that second seal. The third seal, the rider on the black horse, is famine. The fourth seal is a culmination of the previous seals which kills a fourth of the earth's current population at the time that this seal takes place, which would be 1.7 billion people of that current population when that event takes place.
Conclusion: The first seal rider on the white horse, that antichrist, has not yet been revealed and therefore, the first seal has not been opened. Second, we have not seen the result of those previous seals which is the death of a fourth of the earth's population and therefore, without the fulfillment of the previous seals, then we cannot expect that this lunar eclipse is the fulfillment of the sixth seal.
When that event of the sixth seal does take place, I believe that it will have nothing to do with an eclipse and that it will not be something that can be predicted. In other words, it is not going to be common occurrence, but God evoked. Also, I believe that when it happens, it will be a truly blood red moon. Think about what a blood red moon would look like. A light tinge of red certainly wouldn't fit the scriptural description.

Got to watch the whole thing! Mostly from our balcony, which was comfortable and a good view with the binoculars.
My husband wisely pointed out that people who try to predict things from the movement of heavenly bodies are called "astrologers" and the predictions are called "astrology."
But as an astronomical phenomena a very good one to see!

I personally find these replies to this topic sad that everyone seems to support science and astronomy known as witchcraft against God's word in scripture. The threats we have had from antichristian haters is all very real and it's sad that we fail to believe what's really happening or don't want to believe it. I do believe the Rapture is coming and will happen, there has been so many signs leading up to today, God wI'll save his true commited followers.

Astronomy isn't witchcraft and the blood moons thing is 'religious' superstition, there's nothing biblical about it. This thread has nothing to do with pitting science and astronomy against God's Word (the Bible rules over both). By the way, I think you mean astrology, not astronomy. Also, the Rapture isn't a biblical teaching.

I've read a variety of Bible translations (not all of these all the way through): Good News, CEV, NLT, NIV, NLT, NRSV. Again, I believe what the Bible says, but I don't hold the same interpretation you do in regards to the significance of these blood moons and the Rapture. I guess that makes me a Christian who doesn't entertain 'religious' superstitions.
