FOUR “BLOOD-RED” MOONS

Joel 12:30 30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

Searching in the skies

Blood Red-Moon

In the Jewish Calendar this is the year 5774

In October 8th 2014 it will start the year 5775 in the Jewish Calendar.

That will be the beginning of the Shemitah or Sabbatical year,

Year were the Land will rest. Remember that I have share with you the

prophecy about the year before the Sabbatical? We are in that year. This the year of our

blessing.

"The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious Day of the Lord.“

Acts 2:20

The Jewish Talmud (book of tradition / Interpretation) says;

"When the moon is in eclipse, it is a bad omen for Israel.

If its face is as red as blood, (it is a sign that) the sword is coming to the world." 

Therefore:  Lunar Eclipse = bad omen for the Jewish

people and Israel; Blood Moon = sword coming; Solar Eclipse = bad omen for the world.

It was confirmed by NASA that we have had "blood-red moons"

 On the first day of Passover and the first day of Sukkoth on back-to-back years seven times since 1 A.D.

Three of these occurrences were connected to:  1492 (the year the Jews were expelled from Spain by

Queen Isabella) ,  1948 (statehood for Israel and the War of

Independence), and  1967 (the Six-Day War) — some of the most

significant days in Jewish history.

According to NASA, Four 'blood-red' TOTAL lunar eclipses 

WILL fall again on  Passover and Sukkoth in 2014 and 2015… The same back-to-back occurrences as in

the time of 1492, 1948 and 1967.

Tetrad of blood moons

Four, blood moons on Jewish Feast days within two years is very rare and has only occurred seven times since the time of Yeshua (Jesus).

There are now four blood moons scheduled to appear in 2014/2015 and then

There will NOT be any for the next 100 years.

Pattern Every time a blood moon pattern has appeared

on Jewish feast days, a big event has affected the nation of Israel.

The event affecting Israel begins just before the actual years of the blood moons.

To understand what could happen in the 2014 - 2015 "blood moons" you must understand the pattern of blood moons in the past.

Seven back-to-back, blood-red moons have fallen on the first day of Passover and Sukkoth,

With the "eighth time"… coming in2014 and 2015.

Three of these occurrences were connected to:

1492 (the final year of the Spanish Inquisition),

1948 (statehood for Israel and the War of Independence), and

1967 (the Six-Day War) — some of the most significant days in Jewish history.

The others were in

162/163 A.D., 795/796 A.D. 842/843 A.D. and 860/861 A.D. We don’t have any historical connections for

these years at this time, but we do know of significant Jewish persecution during the eighth and ninth centuries.

In all eight examples, the eclipses have fallen or will fall on the first day of Passover and Sukkot.

The eighth occurrence of back-to-back, blood-red moons will be in 2014–2015.

Total solar eclipses Have been a bad omen for the nations, There will be one on March 20, 2015 just

before the third blood red moon of April 4, 2015

Blood-red moons Have been a bad omen for the Jewish people

and Israel.

Three sets of blood-red moons that corresponded to significant events:

The Spanish Inquisition final year 1492

When the Alhambra Decree ordered all remaining Jews who would not convert to Christianity to leave Spain,

The Spanish Inquisition — 1492 * Passover, April 2, 1493

* Sukkoth, Sept. 25, 1493* Passover, March 22, 1494* Sukkoth, Sept. 15, 1494

The Inquisition

Was a Roman Catholic tribunal for discovery and punishment of heresy, which was marked by the severity of questioning and punishment and lack of rights afforded to the accused.

1492 The year the Jews were expelled from Spain by Queen Isabella

1481, King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella I ruled Spain from 1479 to 1516 press Pope Sixtus IV to allow an Inquisition in Spain.

Request granted in 1483 March 30 1492 signed a decree ordering Jews

to leave Spain by August 1, 1492. No gold, silver or precious metals was to be

taken. Poverty, homelessness and uncertainty of what country would received them.

Tortures of the Inquisition

Columbus Log Book entry.

In the same month in which their Majesties [Ferdinand and Isabella] issued the edict that all Jews should be driven out of the kingdom and its territories, in the same month they gave me the order to undertake with sufficient men my expedition of discovery to the Indies." So begins Christopher Columbus's diary.

Expelled from Spain

The expulsion that Columbus refers to was so cataclysmic an event that ever since, the date 1492 has been almost as important in Jewish history as in American history. On July 30 of that year, the entire Jewish community, some 200,000 people, were expelled from Spain.

The 1948 War of Independence.

The War of Independence — 1948 * Passover, April 13, 1949 

* Sukkoth, Oct. 7, 1949 * Passover, April 2, 1950 * Sukkoth, Sept. 26, 1950

Creation of Israel, 1948

On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. U.S. President Harry S. Truman recognized the new nation on the same day.

Invading Countries

On May 14, 1948, the day Israel declared its independence, the armies of

Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq invaded the tiny new country with the declared intent of destroying it.

As a result of this war, Israel ended up adding about 50% more territory to what they were already holding.

A Tiny new formed country has defeated the established armies of her enemies.

God has not forget his people. God is the keeper of Israel.

The 1967 Six-Day War.

The Six-Day War — 1967 and the blood moons

* First Day of Passover, April 24, 1967 * First Day of Sukkoth, Oct. 18, 1967 * First Day of Passover. April 13, 1968 * First Day of Sukkoth, Oct. 6, 1968

Israel consistently expressed a desire to negotiate with its neighbors

. In an address to the UN General Assembly on October 10, 1960, Foreign Minister Golda Meir challenged Arab leaders to meet with Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion to negotiate a peace settlement. Nasser answered on October 15, saying that Israel was trying to deceive world opinion, and reiterating that his country would never recognize the Jewish State.

June 1967, Nasser, President of Egypt announced:

The armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon are poised on the borders of Israel...to face the challenge, while standing behind us are the armies of Iraq, Algeria, Kuwait, Sudan and the whole Arab nation. This act will astound the world. Today they will know that the Arabs are arranged for battle, the critical hour has arrived. We have reached the stage of serious action and not declarations.

The Arab discourse was matched by the mobilization of Arab forces.

Approximately 465,000 troops, More than 2,800 tanks, and 800 aircraft surrounded Israel.

On June 5, Prime Minister Eshkol gave

the order to attack Egypt.

Psalm 5:3, In the morning I will direct it to You,

On June 5, 1967, Israel was indeed alone, but its military commanders had conceived a brilliant war strategy. The entire Israeli Air Force, with the exception of just 12 fighters assigned to defend Israeli air space, took off at 7:14 a.m. with the intent of bombing Egyptian airfields while the Egyptian pilots were eating breakfast.

The strategy of God

In less than 2 hours, roughly 300 Egyptian aircraft were destroyed. A few hours later, Israeli fighters attacked the Jordanian and Syrian air forces, as well as one airfield in Iraq.

By the end of the first day, nearly the entire Egyptian and Jordanian air forces, and half the Syrians’, had been destroyed on the ground.

Jerusalem Is Attacked Prime Minister Levi Eshkol sent a message to 

King Hussein on June 5 saying Israel would not attack Jordan unless he initiated hostilities. When Jordanian radar picked up a cluster of planes flying from Egypt to Israel, and the Egyptians convinced Hussein the planes were theirs, he ordered the shelling of West Jerusalem. It turned out that the planes were Israel’s and were returning from destroying the Egyptian air force on the ground.

Taking Jerusalem

It took only three days for Israeli forces to defeat the Jordanian legion. On the morning of June 7, the order was given to recapture the Old City. Israeli paratroopers stormed the city and secured it. Defense Minister Moshe Dayan arrived with Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin to formally mark the Jews’ return to their historic capital and their holiest site. At the Western Wall, the IDF’s chaplain, Rabbi Shlomo Goren, blew a shofar to celebrate the event.

The Stunning Victory

While most IDF units were fighting the Egyptians and Jordanians, a small, heroic group of soldiers were left to defend the northern border against the Syrians. It was not until the Jordanians and Egyptians were subdued that reinforcements could be sent to the Golan Heights,

In The Golan Heights

Syrian gunners commanding the strategic high ground made it exceedingly difficult and costly for Israeli forces to penetrate.

Finally, on June 9, after two days of heavy air bombardment, Israeli forces succeeded in breaking through the Syrian lines.

Principal objectives accomplished

After just six days of fighting, Israeli forces were in a position to march on Cairo, Damascus, and Amman. By this time, the principal objectives of capturing the Sinai and the Golan Heights had been accomplished, and Israeli political leaders had no desire to fight in the Arab capitals

Cease-fire

Furthermore, the Soviet Union had become increasingly alarmed by the Israeli advances and was threatening to intervene. At this point, U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk advised the Israelis “in the strongest possible terms” to accept a cease-fire.

On June 10, Israel did just that.

The victory was costly for Israel.

In storming the Golan Heights, Israel suffered 115 dead

777 dead and 2,586 wounded- Also, despite the incredible success of the air

campaign, the Israeli Air Force lost 46 of its 200 fighters. 

The death toll on the Arab side was 15,000 Egyptians, 2,500 Syrians, and 800 Jordanians.

Israel territory just before the 1967 war.

Israel holding territory conquered in the war.

By the end of the war Israel had conquered enough territory to more

than triple the size of the area it controlled, from 8,000 to 26,000 square miles.

The victory enabled Israel to unify Jerusalem. Israeli forces had also captured the

Sinai,  Golan Heights,  Gaza Strip and  West Bank.

The strong arm of God

Again it was a tremendous blow to the Arab countries this new defeat of their armies.

Naturally speaking, all the cards were in Arabs hands, the victory should be theirs.

But The Defender of Israel has never abandoned, neither will abandon Israel.

Our God is THE MIGHTY ONE OF ISRAEL.

Acts 2:19-20 (NKJV)

19 I will show wonders in heaven aboveAnd signs in the earth beneath:Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,And the moon into blood,Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

Joel 2:30-31 (NKJV)

30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.31 The sun shall be turned into darkness,And the moon into blood,Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

2014 - 2015

The preceding slide showed us the series of the four blood moons with a total solar eclipse right in the middle of them.

This eclipse will happened in the very beginning of the month of Nissan.

Bad omen for the world?

How a total eclipse occurs

What will occur in the 2013–2015 time period?

We don’t know. If everything follows the pattern established, we better look into what has been happening to israel and his people.

Fall Feasts in 2015

* Rosh Hashanah (The Feast of Trumpets), Sept. 14 * Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement), Sept. 23 * Sukkoth (The Feast of Tabernacles), Sept. 28

2000-year history of blood-red moons' connection to Passover and Sukkot

As the scholars and scientists have study and calculated, the only string of four consecutive blood moons that coincide with God's holy days of Passover in the spring and the autumn's Feast of Tabernacles (also called Sukkoth) occur in 2014 and 2015 on today's Gregorian calendar.

Passover/Tabernacles tetrads since the time of Jesus

Chart of 2014-2015: four blood-red moons and two solar eclipses

Sabbatical Year 57752014 - 2015

This coming Sabbatical year will start with the Feast of Trumpets on September 25th 2014. During this period there will be a Blood Moon on Sukkot 2014, a Total Solar Eclipse at the beginning of the religious year, a Blood Moon in Passover 2015, and a Partial Solar Eclipse just at the beginning of the Secular year 5776, marking the end of the Sabbatical year.

So what to expect?

We don’t know. Better said I don’t know. But we know some of the things that Israel has been going thru…

Continuous menaces and pressure by its neighboring countries.

A tendency to deny the terrible holocaust initiated by the Nazi government.

The constant bombarding to Israel territory. The enemy idea of annihilating Israel.

Israel achievements

The Strategic Impact of Israel's Export of Natural Gas.

The afforestation in Israel. Turning the desert into green forests. Science and technology in Israel. Israeli inventions and discoveries.

Conclusion

The preceding tetrad blood moons of 1493 - 1494, 1949 – 1950, 1968 – 1969 were a clear shout from God to Israel and the whole world pointing out that He is the Keeper of Israel, that He fights against the en enemies of Israel.

The Tetrads mainly happened after something terrible was going on in Israel, or shortly after the first blood moon as in the start of the 6 days war.

My opinion

Personally I prefer to look into the Hand of God protecting Israel and how He will be glorified rather than centering my attention into some negative thing that could happen in Israel or in any other part of the World.

Rather than expecting negative or terrible things to happen, we are called to intercede before God and ask for His favor and faithfulness.

But I have a voice within me calling to see the economical, ecological and scientific success that is going to increase in an exponential way in the State of Israel.

Those who bless Israel will be blessed. Those who curse Israel still have opportunity

to change their heart and attitude and come to accept the plan of God.

Could this be proved?

We will meet on April 24th.
