The Impact of the first Blood Moon

I thought there was already a thread about this somewhere but Im having trouble finding it.

The Four Blood Moons
Information taken from http://www.christianpost.com/news/is-everything-about-to-change-the-first-of-four-blood-moons-occurs-april-15-117957/

NASA has projected that the next Tetrad will begin on April 15, 2014 and end on September 28, 2015. It will occur in the following sequence:

1. Passover-April 15, 2014
2. Feast of Tabernacles-October 8, 2014
3. Passover-April 4, 2015
4. Feast of Tabernacles-September 28, 2015

The Four Blood Moons of 1493–94 announced the Edict of Expulsion, which banished from Spain all Jewish people who, despite being tortured, refused to convert to Catholicism during the Spanish Inquisition. But their tears ended in triumph when Christopher Columbus found a haven for Jews around the world: America.
The Four Blood Moons of 1949–50 followed the birth of the State of Israel, in which God gathered the Jewish exiles from the nations of the world and brought them home to the land of covenant as foretold by the Old Testament prophets.
The Four Blood Moons of 1967–68 coincided with the Six-Day War, when the city of Jerusalem was finally reunited with the State of Israel. Today, Jerusalem is more than the country's "undivided capital"-it's where Christ was crucified for the sins of the world and where He will return to rule a global kingdom that will never end.

The article poses the question ‘What is God saying to us in the Four Blood Moons of 2014–15?’
The Four Blood Moons of 2014–15 tell us that God is getting ready to change the course of human history once again.

Please forgive my basic knowledge of world events and please feel free to enlighten me,

Im aware that the blood moons are in direct attachment to the nation of Israel

but Since the first blood moon would it not be fair to say that the temperature of conflict between the States, Russia North Korea and Iran has since risen considerably.
Now Israel being accused of genocide for its relentless missile campaign in Gaza by Palestinian, placing even more strain on America who is already dealing with the terrorist militant faction ISIS in Iraq. For some reason I keep feeling like the States will somewhere be blindsided by North Korea or the Russians if they decide to intervene in this conflict reigniting with Palestine.

It seems as though the world is positioning itself for the next fulfillment of prophecy concerting Israel.

Maybe someone with a clearer knowledge of the current crisis can shed some light on what Im driving at.

I agree that God is ready to change the course of human history again, but I don't agree that the so called 'blood moons' have anything to do with it.
Be informed that what you call a 'blood moon' is merely a result of atmospheric conditions during the rising of a full moon. This is a regular and foreseeable event, therefore has nothing to do with prophecy or world affairs.
A genuine blood red moon, shining 'as bright as the sun', Isaiah 30:26, will happen the Day that verse is fulfilled, with 'the sun shining 7 times stronger'. That will be the Day of the Lord's vengeance and wrath, a terrible, worldwide judgement/punishment by fire from the sun, prophesied and vividly described over 100 times throughout the Bible.

Thank you for caring!

I was thinkin more with God laughs at our calmities at times, and has a Godly sense of humor, ie, although I'm not a dispensationalist to any degree, our Lord would sure would have the last laugh if He just so happened to schedule the forthcoming NWO events (going to come to pass for sure) around the "blood moons."

May have all to do with it,

Thanks i will take a look, I think I might take a look at why I have adopted this doctrine of blood moons, im not to sure where it originated in Christianity.

true it does seem a little silly when you put it that way

Sorry, but the only "atmospheric conditions" necessary for a "blood moon" is a clear sky by which to see it. A "blood moon" is a total lunar eclipse. When the sun is hidden from the moon by the earth. What turns it "blood red" is the sun shining through the edges of the earth's atmosphere (like a sunset or a sunrise) and the background ambient light of the stars. Together, without the presence of the sun's direct light during a full moon, the moon will take on a dusky red color.

During the tetrad, four such lunar eclipses occur and between the middle two, a partial SOLAR eclipse occurs, as well.

These all occur OUTSIDE of the earth's atmosphere, and the sun and moon and the light the moon reflects are not directly affected by the earth's atmosphere. Only our viewing of these events might be blocked by atmospheric conditions.

what do you think of the significance of the blood moons Retro?

I don't personally believe that there IS a significance. If GOD chooses for there to be some significance, there will be a significance. If He chooses for life to go on, "business as usual," there will be NO significance. We cannot use these "blood moons" as indicators of any future events. Only in HIND SIGHT will we see anything out of the ordinary. We have NO direct prophecy about such occurrences.

Now its a lunar eclipse that causes a 'blood moon'? Or as you say, a 'dusky red one'.
The recent discussions and books written about 'blood moon tetrads', are nothing to do with eclipses, but as I say: just the full rising moon, viewed at the horizon.
Madad, this theory of 'blood moon tetrads' has nothing to do with Bible prophecy, those out for a quick buck have tried to tie them in with the prophesies in Joel 3:31 and Rev 6:12.
Have you looked up Isaiah 30:26 and checked its context? It is a description of the Lord's Day of wrath, just as the passages in Joel and Revelation are, as well.
So the real blood red moon, shining as bright as the sun, will happen on His Great and terrible Day of vengeance and wrath. As we see from the sequence of judgements in Revelation, the Sixth seal is one of the next prophesied events we can expect. Don't mess with that sequence, as some do in order to fit it to their false end time theories. The curse of Rev 22:19 warns against that.

Thank you Keras I will look in to this, appreciated.

Those eclipses mean absolutely NOTHING.
The verse in Revelation is referring to the time during the Day of the Lord when the effects from atomic weapons blot out the sun and the moon.

Don't go "hog wild" about the "effects from atomic weapons" blotting out the sun and the moon! That is NOT to what those verses are referring!

The Lord will NOT allow nukes to explode in any part of the holy Land. He will 'break the bow of Elam, [Iran] the chief weapon of their might'. Jeremiah 49:35
What the Lord will use is a Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun. It will literally fulfil all the vivid prophesies about that Day. Deut 32:22 & 34-35, Rev. 6:12-17

That's what a "tetrad" is!

Wikipedia says...

Tetrad
A tetrad is a "group of four". It may refer to:
Tetrad (chromosomal formation)
Tetrad (genetics), the four spores of a yeast
Tetrad (general relativity), a mathematical frame of reference in general relativity
Tetrad (index notation), a concept in differential geometry
Tetrad (music), a set of four notes
Tetrad (symbol) or tetractys
Tetrad (unit of area)
Tetrad, a group of four haploid and immature pollen grains in tetrahedral fashion produced by meiotic microsporogenesis
Tetrad (astronomy), an occurrence of 4 total lunar eclipses in a row with intervals of 6 lunations (semester).

I don't know what YOU'VE been reading lately, but the first time I heard about such a tetrad was from the on-line sermons by John Hagee!

You can go to http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/insideisrael/2014/February/Divine-Sign-for-Israel-Hagee-Explains-Blood-Moons/ for instance and read the following:

So what exactly is a blood moon and what is the biblical significance?

"A blood moon is when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon," Hagee explained. "And the sun is shining through the atmosphere of the Earth and casts up on the moon a red shadow. And so the moon appears to be red."

You can also go to NASA's site here: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2014/27mar_tetrad/ and read about the four total lunar eclipses.

(They also have an un-touched-up photo of a "blood moon." Don't go by Hagee's chart! It's been doctored to look redder than it will.)

It really should come as no shock that such a tetrad would fall on Jewish holidays. The Jewish calendar is a LUNAR calendar. That is, their months begin on the new moon and the full moon is always halfway through the month. So, the fact that Pesach (Passover) beginning on the 14th (or 15th) of the month would fall on a full moon is a GIVEN! Since lunar eclipses ALWAYS fall on a full moon, it only stands to reason that lunar eclipses could occur on a Pesach. The same can be said about Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles). So, that much should not be shocking. And, that there would be four in a row in two years (with a partial solar eclipse between the second and third lunar eclipses), although unusual, is not unheard-of! It just means that the ecliptic of the moon's path around the earth is passing through the ecliptic of the earth's path around the sun.

So, DON'T believe me, if you don't want to, but you should check out your facts before making uninformed statements.

Be careful grasshopper, would you like to try to snatch a pebble from my hand? Did you look into these tetrads for yourself? I did and found out that they do mean SOMETHING BIG. I had been looking into them for about seven months and then in the third week of July 2013 I stumbled on to something that I would describe as uncommon knowledge. If it means nothing we are fine to speak as we wish but if they are Divine Signs from The Lord we wouldn't want be found saying that they mean nothing.

The final Jeopardy question is this. SO WHAT? What are we supposed to do about it, if anything?

None can alter the course of the orbit of the moon, the earth and the planets. None can change the course of history.

I presume nobody really cares. What will be will be. We shall all sing and dance until the Master comes with His great ring of keys to close down the show.

Personally, I find the waiting tedious and wish it were already upon us.

but that's just me, hollering from the choir loft...
