What Is a Blood Moon?

Like a rainbow, the earth’s atmosphere traps the dark blues leaving the red light from the sun to bend and strike the total lunar eclipsed moon. The blood red effect will last for about three hours during the total eclipse.
Blood moons are not rare, but what is rare is when they occur on very special days, and when very special events also occur in the same time frames. In John Hagee’s book Four Blood Moons, he talks about a tetrad (a group of four), Blood Moons with a solar eclipse occurring on the same days as Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles.
Eight times in twenty-one centuries, a tetrad has or will occur on the Jewish Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles.
1. 162-163 C.E. (Common Era)
2. 795-796 C.E.
3. 842-843 C.E.
4. 860-861 C.E.
5. 1493-1494 C.E.
6. 1949-1950 C.E.
7. 1967-1968 C.E.
8. 2014-2015 C.E.
He only discusses the things relating to Israel that occur during the last three events, 1493-94, 1949-50, and 1967-68. The next event of 2014-15 is about to occur. It will be interesting to see what happens in the Middle East during this event.
We all know what happen in 1492 when Columbus sailed from Spain and discovered the new world, but did you know that this was also the high point of the Spanish Inquisition? America later became a haven for anyone trying to escape. 99.3% of those judged in Barcelona between 1484 and 1505 were of Jewish origin.
1948 was the rebirth of Israel as a nation. 1967 was the war of miracles, the six day war where Israel overcame the odds and was victorious over four powerful enemies.
Passover on April 15, 2014 will begin a remarkable event of four Blood Moons, occurring on April 15, 2014, October 8, 2014, the Feast of Tabernacles, April 4, 2015, Passover and again on September 28 2015 the Feast of Tabernacles. It is interesting to note that the next Sabbath year occurs from October 4, 2014 through September 22, 2015, followed by the next day being the start of the year of Jubilee from September 23, 2015 to October 11, 2016.
1916-17 was a Sabbath year, and during the following Jubilee year General Allanby captured Jerusalem from the Turks in December of 1918.
1965-66 was also a Sabbath year and during the following Jubilee year captured Jerusalem in the 6 day war.
All Christians and Jews should be watching the Middle East very closely over the next three years and be praying for Israel and the people of Jerusalem during this troubling time.
