The Four Blood Moons

By now, most of us have heard about the upcoming Blood Moons. There will be four of them in 2014 and 2015. It is called a Tetrad, which means a series of four. But there is something significant about this Tetrad and all the ones that came before and they just so happen to relate to Israel.

The very first known Tetrad began in the year 32 AD and ended in 33 AD. Christ was crucified when He was 33 years old...in the year 33 AD. Below I will give a timeline of sorts that lays out the previous Blood Moon Tetrads and their association with Jewish Holy Days.

• April 14, 32          First day of Passover
• Oct. 7, 32             First day of Feast of Tabernacles
• April 3, 33*          First day of Passover

    * It was during this century that the Jews and Christians suffered one of the worst persecutions in the history of the Roman Empire. Within only 3 years, the Antonine Plague killed roughly 8 million people. That was 1/3 of the population.

• April 9, 795           First day of Passover

     It has been well documented that the Jewish people endured tremendous persecution in the 8th and 9th centuries.

     Not long after this Tetrad, the Vatican church in Rome was attacked and looted by an Islamic invasion from Africa.

• 860                        First day of Passover
• 860                        First day of Yom Kippur
• 861                        First day of Passover
• 861                        First day of Yom Kippur

     A few months after this Tetrad, the Byzantine Empire defeated Arab armies at the Battle of Lalakaon in Turkey and permanently stopped the Islamic invasion of Eastern Europe.

• April 2, 1493         First day of Passover
• Sept. 25, 1493       First day of Feast of Trumpets
• March 22, 1494     First day of Passover
• Sept. 15, 1494       First day of Feast of Trumpets

     A few months after this Tetrad, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain ordered all Jewish people to leave the country even though they had been there for over a millennium.

• April 13, 1949        First day of Passover
• Oct. 7, 1949           First day of Feast of Tabernacles
• April 2, 1950          First day of Passover
• Sept. 26, 1950        First day of Feast of Tabernacles

     11 months prior to this Tetrad in May of 1948, Israel became a Nation. On July 20, 1949, the Israeli War Armistice was signed.

• April 24, 1967        First day of Passover
• Oct. 18, 1967         First day of Feast of Tabernacles

     On June 7, 1967, Israel captured Jerusalem following the 6 day war.

• April 15, 2014         First day of Passover
• Oct. 8, 2014            First day of Feast of Tabernacles
• April 4, 2015           First day of Passover
• Sept. 28, 2015         First day of Feast of Tabernacles

It is clear that whenever a Tetrad appears in the heavens, something significant happens and don't think it is coincidence that they happen on these Holy days. God does nothing by accident. The question is...what does the coming Tetrad hold in store for Israel and for Christians?

While I do not have an answer to the above question, I can say that there has never been a more important time to get right with God. Because He is coming back...whether we are ready or not. We know that most of the world hates Israel and this administration has made no secret of its disgust for the Jewish and the Christians. Be watchmen. Be ready. Be faithful to God. He always has been and He always will be in complete control.
