Blood Moon Prophecy

Introduction
Have you ever seen a blood moon? Prophecy in the book of Revelation refers to the moon becoming as blood before the Second Coming:

"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;" (Rev 6:12)

Two other verses refer to this blood moon prophecy:

"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:" (Acts 2:20)
"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come." (Joel 2:31)

This month's first article is regarding a topic that may get your interest and that you should be thinking about this spring as we approach the time of the spring feasts.

We are told that there will be signs in the heavens (Luke 21:11, Acts 2:19) and the fact that there are what could be significant signs falling on the Biblical feasts days, significant times in God's calendar, should cause us to take notice.

Note that I am simply sharing items of interest. That does not imply that I agree with everything presented.

"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars ... nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes ..." (Matt 24:6-7)

Blood Moons Expert: Watch 2014 and 2015
WorldNetDaily / October 19, 2013

"Pastor John Hagee was invited by Fox News this week to discuss the significance of four blood moons coming over the next two years -- on the Jewish Passovers on April 15, 2014, and April 4, 2015, and the Feasts of Tabernacles on Oct. 8, 2014, and Sept. 28, 2015.

"Such events have occurred only three other times in recent centuries, and each time they were linked to significant events for the Jewish nation, as outlined in Hagee's new book, 'Four Blood Moons: Something is about to Change.'

"For example, when it happened in 1493 and 1494 Jews were expelled from Spain. The blood moons in 1949 and 1950 came right after the nation of Israel was assembled, giving the Jews a homeland for the first time in thousands of years.

"And in 1967 and 1968 it was linked to the Six-Day War.

"This is something that just is beyond coincidental," Hagee told Fox. He explained that the prophecies in the Bible note that when the sun refuses to shine -- and a solar eclipse is expected in the 2014-2015 time frame -- and the moon will be turned to blood, then man's redemption draweth near.

Strange Doings on the Sun

"Something is up with the sun.

"Scientists say that solar activity is stranger than in a century or more, with the sun producing barely half the number of sunspots as expected and its magnetic poles oddly out of sync.

"Based on historical records, astronomers say the sun this fall ought to be nearing the explosive climax of its approximate 11-year cycle of activity-the so-called solar maximum. But this peak is 'a total punk,' said Jonathan Cirtain, who works at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as project scientist for the Japanese satellite Hinode, which maps solar magnetic fields.

Something Is Killing Life All Over The Pacific Ocean - Could It Be Fukushima?
By Michael Snyder, on October 28th, 2013

Why is there so much death and disease among sea life living near the west coast of North America right now? Could the hundreds of tons of highly radioactive water that are being released into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima every single day have anything to do with it? When I wrote my last article about Fukushima, I got a lot of heat for being "alarmist" and for supposedly "scaring" people unnecessarily. I didn't think that an article about Fukushima would touch such a nerve, but apparently there are some people out there that really do not want anyone writing about this stuff. Right now, massive numbers of fish and sea creatures are dying in the Pacific Ocean. In addition, independent tests have shown that significant levels of cesium-137 are in a very high percentage of the fish that are being caught in the Pacific and sold in North America. Could this have anything to do with the fact that the largest nuclear disaster in the history of mankind has been constantly releasing enormous amounts of radioactive material into the Pacific Ocean for more than two years? I don't know about you, but to me this seems to be a question that is worth asking.

Massive Starfish Die-Off Baffles Scientists
The waters off British Columbia, Canada, are littered with dead starfish, and researchers have no idea what's causing the deaths.

At the end of August, marine biologist and scuba enthusiast Jonathan Martin was out on his usual Saturday dive with some friends when he noticed something unusual.

"We just started noticing dead starfish that looked like they had their arms chopped off," Martin said.

They were sunflower starfish (Pycnopodia helianthoides), a major marine predator in the area that feeds mostly on sea urchins and snails. Like most starfish, the sunflower starfish can regenerate lost limbs - it can have up to 20 - and can grow to be up to three feet (a meter) across.

Since Martin was diving in an area frequented by crabbers, at first he thought the sunflower starfish had gotten caught in some of the crab traps and had lost limbs escaping. But Martin kept seeing large numbers of dead starfish as he and his friends swam to a marine park where such crab fishing is illegal. Martin knew then it wasn't the traps that were causing the starfish deaths.

After returning from the dive, he visited friends at a local dive shop who were active in marine conservation. Without any definitive answer, he shared photos on Flickr and videos on YouTube - taken at Lion's Bay and Whytecliff Park in Vancouver - to try to get ideas from others about what was going on.

"It really struck a chord in other divers who were seeing it on Facebook and social media, both locally and as far away as California, who had been seeing similar things," Martin said.

Ray's note:
I was also a SCUBA diver and am quite familiar with Pycnopodia, the sunflower star. I remember them as being, yes, three feet across, with many arms and (as starfish go) capable of moving very quickly, and digging big holes in search of buried shellfish. They were almost scary when you are in their environment and absorbed in some work or observations on the sea floor and they sneak up on you! There are some animals that are kind of like the canary in the coal mine - they give early warning signs that something is wrong in the environment. This "struck a chord" with me - it is very sad what is happening to our environment including the oceans. Yet, along with the blood moon prophecy, perhaps the "rotting starfish prophecy" is telling us something.

The cause for the two stories above may be related to the next one.

Fukushima is Out of Control - Again
Written By: James West November 26, 2013

The surest evidence of a censured and compromised media is the absence of honest coverage on what is happening in Fukushima Japan. Did you know that the core in at least one reactor has breached all manmade containments and is burning its way slowly into the earth? When it hits a water table, the likelihood of an explosion underground many times more powerful than the nuclear bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in the second world war is all but assured.

The trillion dollar question is, will that explosion be enough to catalyze a seismic event or events that will cause the remaining reactors to melt through their respective containment barriers into the earth, and cause more massive underground explosions?

Seven Volcanoes In Six Different Countries All Start Erupting Within Hours Of Each Other
November 21, 201

A new island has appeared in the Pacific. A submarine eruption just off Nishino-Shima Island Japan has erupted for the first time in 40 years. The Japanese Navy noticed the explosions as boiling lava met sea water giving rise to plumes of steam and ash.

Almost 7,000 miles away in Mexico, the Colima volcano blew its top after a period of relative calm. A steam and ash cloud rose two miles into the sky and the grumbling of the mountain could be heard in towns a few miles away.

In Guatemala the 'Fire Mountain' belched out lava and sent up a moderate ash cloud causing an ash fall over nearby towns. The explosions and shock waves occurring in the volcano can be felt by residents over 6 miles away. Doors and windows are reported to be rattling, but there has been no damage so far.

How China Can Cause the Death of the Dollar and the Entire U.S. Financial System
By: Michael Snyder / Global Research.ca Online.com / November 8, 2013

"The death of the dollar is coming, and it will probably be China that pulls the trigger. What you are about to read is understood by only a very small fraction of all Americans. Right now, the U.S. dollar is the de facto reserve currency of the planet. Most global trade is conducted in U.S. dollars, and almost all oil is sold for U.S. dollars. More than 60 percent of all global foreign exchange reserves are held in U.S. dollars, and far more U.S. dollars are actually used outside of the United States than inside of it.

"Our entire way of life in the United States depends upon this game continuing. We must have the rest of the world use our currency and loan it back to us at ultra low interest rates. At this point we have painted ourselves into a corner by accumulating so much debt. We simply cannot afford to have rates rise significantly.

"About a year ago, the rate on 30 year mortgages was sitting at 3.31 percent. The monthly payment on a 30 year, $300,000 mortgage at that rate is $1315.52.

If the 30 year rate rises to 8 percent, the monthly payment on a 30 year, $300,000 mortgage would be $2201.29.

"Does 8 percent sound crazy to you?

"It shouldn't. 8 percent was considered to be normal back in the year 2000.

"Are you starting to get the picture?"

Pope to Get Seat Over the Tomb of King David
By: Raphael Ahren / Jewish Israel.com / January 31, 2013

"Outgoing Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon is leaving his mark on Jerusalem. After years of negotiations with the Vatican over property and tax issues, it seems that an historic breakthrough is near. Headlines in the Jerusalem Post announced, 'Jerusalem is on verge of signing agreement to formalize diplomatic relations with the Holy See'.

"There are conflicting and disturbing reports regarding the status of the 'Last Supper Room' (also referred to as the 'Upper Room', 'Cenacle Shrine' or 'Coenaculum'), which sits above the traditional Tomb of King David.

"For many years the Catholic church has been vying for ownership of the room which is considered by many Christians to be the traditional site of the location of the last supper. The room itself is a 12th century Crusader structure, built on top of the traditional Tomb of King David.

"Israel Hayom is reporting that the agreement will grant the Pope 'an official seat' in the Upper Room, as well as giving the Vatican 'a special modicum of control over the site'."

I would greatly encourage you to watch the following 15-minute video of some of the signs of the last days that happened around the world within this past month (November, 2013) or so.

"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21:28)
