We're currently in the middle of a fairly rare phenomenon called a Tetrad.
Started April 15th 2014, there are Four Lunar Eclipses, each spaced about 6 months.

This Tetrad, however, has the interesting property that every one lands on a Jewish Feast.
Passover of 2014 (April 15th), Sukkot 2014 (October 10th), Passover 2015 (April 4th), Sukkot 2014 (September 28th).

This is ridiculously rare. There's been a total of 8 in the past 1900 years, and the last time this happened (1967-68) Israel had a 6 day war that resulted them in winning Jerusalem back.

Before that, in 1949, Israel was admitted into the united nations.

This could prove to be a very interesting year.

My opinion?

It means nothing.

It's actually happened ten times since A.D. 1, and of those ten times something significant has happened to Isreal three times. People are saying "three out of three can't be ignored" (direct quote from a prophecy teacher), but the fact is, it isn't three out of three; it's three out of ten.

So with that in mind, it's odds of meaning anything drops from 100% to 30%. 30% is enough to make the other times seem lile a coincidence (yes, they do happen).

Also, this is not the "blood moon" that the Bible speaks of, as that happens once, not four times. Also, that happens at the very end of time, at the same time that "the heavens departed as a scroll" and "men cried to the mountains 'fall on us' and to the hills 'cover us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne...'".



Do I think something significant is about to happen? Indeed I do, but I can't say that it has anything to do with the tetrad, as the Bible never indicates four blood moons as meaning anything.

As for what I think will happen, I think that Israel will sign the peace agreement, and (if my understanding is correct) that will mark the beginning of Daniel's Seventieth week, and signify the start of the final seven years before the Lord's return.


Now before people jump all over me with "No man knows the day nor the hour!", allow me to point out that God DID tell Daniel that a covenant would be confirmed with Israel, and that then there would be "one week" (which, if you follow the first Sixty-nine weeks, you'll find that each week represented seven years) until the end. Also noteworthy is the fact that Jesus taught us that we would not know the day nor the hour of His return, but that we WOULD know the "season" of it, and that John wrote that something would happen that would give the gentiles the right to tread the outer courts of the temple for forty-two months (which this peace agreement will give the Palestinians the right to do so), and there would be two witnesses that prophesied for 1,260 days (roughly 3 1/2 years), and then they would be killed. Then there would be another three and a half "days" (when compared to the previous timelines and Daniel's, it's obvious that these"days" are in fact years). So we can literally know the year, if we follow the Bible prophecies. And all signs seem to point to this pending peace treaty (scheduled to be signed within a week from today) will launch the final seven years before Jesus' return.

And even if you don't buy into my interpretation of the passage in Revelation, there remains the fact that the first sixty-two weeks of Daniel's prophecy pinpointed when Messiah would come, and if we turn each of those weeks into seven year periods, we come up with the time of Jesus' ministry, so obviously those "weeks" were indeed years. It would only make sense to assume that the final "week" would be consistent with the others in length. And we know that a "covenant" will be signed that starts the final "week". Also noteworthy is that "in the midst of the week" (3 1/2 "days"/years) the sacrifices will be stopped, and then the people of God will be attacked and "scattered" by the Antichrist. This does look like a direct reflection of John's 3 1/2 years/1,260 days...


Do I say this is 100% certain? I wouldn't be so arrogant as to even suggest that. I do say that at current, I'm very much persuaded to believe this to be correct. So yeah, I think we officially have less than a decade before Armageddon.


But back to your statements: I mean no disrespect. I do agree that something big is about to happen, I just don't personally believe that this tetrad has any relation to it. I completely respect your opinion if you disagree though. I'm glad not everyone sees things the way I do. That would just be boring.

Eirinn : Wow... I'm not a Christen or something so half of what you told isn't understood
Anyways, you cleared up some things for me. It might mean completely nothing, but it's still pretty cool though.

PhilipDraco : How did you find this out?

Eirinn :

WAITWAIT I'M NOT SAYING END OF WORLD WAITWAITWAIT!

I just think something is going to happen. God's always been doing things in 3's, and the last two tetrads, in a row, had something happen to Israel.

If the peace treaty could potentially start the countdown to the end times, during a tetrad, I really don't see how the two would be unrelated. The timing is just too close.

Side note, I really, really hope that Israel gets to keep the land they've been promised (and you know, fought and won)

juuldude :

Long story short,I saw something about it on t.v, and it interested me.

Oh no, I didn't take your post as meaning the end of the world. I was just saying that I think that's definitely a possibility.

As for the treaty: if it's the one in the Bible, it looks like Israel will lose Judea, but I'm not too clear on it honestly (I'm hardly a prophecy scholar lol).

On a side note: I did the math, and if the 1,260 days was an exact number AND 3 1/2 years (which it's possible for 3 1/2 years to equal 1,260 days using the Jewish calendar, and I suspect that's what John used and our calendar wasn't in existence yet), then the covenant in Daniel couldn't possibly be signed this year because the Jewish calendar includes two leap years in the next 3 1/2 years. Long story short, the next three and a half years on the Jewish calendar will be 1,299 days. That may mean something and it may not.

But I think it would be a coincidence if these two things happened in close proxemity, solely because I struggle to put any significance on signs that aren't mentioned in the Bible. Still, it could be a sign of something. Who knows?

It means nothing. The Hebrew calendar is lunar, so this is bound to happen. It is, however, interesting when it happens.

Txgangsta :

can I call ya Texasgang?

Who told the Jews to make their calendar that way?

Who, in the beginning of time set it up so that the moon would turn red at this specific time?

Every else reading this, I don't have a lot of time on my hands, so I won't be responding to anyone else.

Sword legion :

Tx is fine.

No one told the Jews to make their calendar that way. They just did. They had to choose something, and the moon is one of 2 options.

Yes, God organized the universe. That doesn't mean that every time a comet flies overhead its a sign. And it doesn't mean that all cool things come with a sign.

Txgangsta :

Actually, I can't remember where it says in the Old testament, but God told the Jews/Israelites how to decide when each holiday was.

Comets?

Maybe, but I recall God saying that the moon specifically being used to say whether it was a sign of the times or not. If you go back in time to when God had Moses fight the Amalekites, or the red sea was parted, there was an eclipse.
