Tonight’s Total Lunar Eclipse is the 1st of 4 “Blood Moons” called a “Tetrad” – 4 consecutive Total Lunar Eclipses – that will occur in 2014 – 2015 on the Lord’s Feast Days of Passover & Tabernacles (Sukkot) – Only the 4th time this has occurred in 500 years! What does this “sign” portent for our Planet?
Acts 2:16-21 (KJV)
16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Every year there are 2-4 lunar eclipses, but only 37.3% are Total Eclipses. When four consecutive lunar eclipses are all total eclipses, the group is known as a tetrad. This Century only 8 Tetrads occur, but Only this one set occurs on the Lord’s Feast Days!
Only 3 Previous Tetrads on the Lord’s Feast Days in the Past 500 years:
1493-1494 – Christopher Columbus sailed in 1492 and discovered America funded by and on behalf of the Jews who had been expelled from Spain in 1492, in culmination of the Roman Catholic Church’s Spanish Inquisition in which thousands of Jews were burned alive at the stake for “heresy.” Recent review of Columbus’s letters and Last Will & Testament give strong evidence that Columbus himself was Jewish and that his primary funding for his voyage was provided by 3 prominent Jews, with the primary mission for the voyage being to find the Jews a new temporary homeland that they may flee the persecution of the Roman Catholic Church’s Inquisitions that had been raging for Centuries across Europe. Thus the 1493-1494 Tetrad of Blood Moons coincided with the historic world-changing event of the Jews Finding a New temporary homeland in America!
1949-1950 – May 14, 1948, Israel Declared Independence and in following 2 years established Democratic Government with Free Market Economy! Thus the 1949-1950 Tetrad of Blood Moons coincided with the historic world-changing event of the Nation of Israel being Reborn, thus restoring to the Jews their permanent homeland!
1967-1968 – 1967 6-Day War Israel regains Jerusalem & Sovereignty over Temple Mount! Thus the 1967-1968 Tetrad of Blood Moons coincided with the historic world-changing event of the restoration to the Jews of their Capital City Jerusalem & of the historic site of God’s 1st & 2nd Holy Temples & the Future Site of God’s Coming 3rd Holy Temple! (Though for political reasons the Jews ceded control of the Temple Mount to the Muslims because of the Muslim Victory Mosques currently on the Temple Mount).
What Historic World-Changing Event Will Happen This Time?
I predict Ezekiel 38-39 shall be fulfilled during 2014-2015, resulting in the destruction of the Muslim Mosques on the Temple Mount, Israel regaining control of the Temple Mount & Building of God’s 3rd Holy Temple will Begins!
Ezekiel 36:5-10, 22-24, 35-36 (NKJV)
5therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Surely I have spoken in My burning jealousy against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who gave My land to themselves as a possession, with wholehearted joy and spiteful minds, in order to plunder its open country.”’
6“Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, the hills, the rivers, and the valleys, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and My fury, because you have borne the shame of the nations.”
7Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “I have raised My hand in an oath that surely the nations that are around you shall bear their own shame.
8But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are about to come.
9For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. 10I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.
22“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went.
23And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord,” says the Lord GOD, “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes.
24For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.
35So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’
36Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it.”
Ezekiel 38:1-9, 13-23 (NKJV)
1Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2“Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.
(Note: “Rosh” is a reference to Russia, with Meshech and Tubal being references to Russia’s centuries old Western Capital of Moscow and Eastern Capital of Tobolsk. Thus the land of Magog is Russia; is Putin “Gog” of Magog? Very likely he is!)
4I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.
5Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
(Note: I will not take time here to address the identities of all the other nations mentioned here, but without doubt “Persia” is a reference to Iran, in fact Iran was called Persia until 1935. The stage is set for this 2,600-year-old prophecy to be fulfilled in our time as Russia’s greatest ally is Iran and vice versa. Who built the nuclear facilities in Iran that are of such great concern to Israel and the world? Russia! Russia and Iran are presently inexplicably conjoined politically, economically, militarily and especially with regard to Iran’s nuclear production facilities!)
6Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.
7“Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them.
8After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely.
(Note: “latter days” means this prophecy would be fulfilled long after Ezekiel received it, and at the latter days of God’s dealings with Israel and Mankind. The rest of the verse refers to the miracle that has occurred in our days of the people of Israel being brought out of all nations back into the Land of Israel that laid desolate for 2,000 years until Israel’s miraculous Rebirth as a Nation; read also Ezekiel chapters 36-37, which describe this ingathering of the Jews back into their “Promised Land.”)
9You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”
13Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’
(Note: “Sheba and Dedan” refer to Saudi Arabia and adjoining Muslim nations; the ‘merchants of Tarshish” refers to the West – the United States and Europe – all of which will do nothing to stop this Russian/Islamic invasion of Israel, but only make diplomatic inquiries, much like the U.S. and Europe and doing nothing now about Putin’s invasion of Ukraine!)
14“Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?
15Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.
16You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.”…
(Note: Note that God calls the Jews “My people Israel” and the Land He Promised them “My land,” therefore when you pick a fight with Israel or seek to divide up their God-given Land, you are picking a fight with GOD! O Man, wise up, your arms are too short to box with God!)
18“And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “that My fury will show in My face.
19For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel,
20so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’
(Note: On the day this prophecy is fulfilled there will be a “great earthquake in Israel” and the “steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall down to the ground” – I will address this in my summation below.)
21I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord GOD. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother.
22And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.”’
Just as the 3 previous Tetrads of Blood Moons resulted in historic world-changing events regarding the Jewish people and the nation of Israel, I believe this current Blood Moons Tetrad will too! I predict that the ancient prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39, which prophesies that Russia and Iran, with an alliance of other Muslim nations, will invade Israel resulting in Russia’s, Iran’s and all the other nation’s armies be utterly destroyed by God through “natural” phenomenon of earthquakes, flooding, hailstones, and “fire and brimstone” – yet to be seen what these mean – I predict this prophecy will be fulfilled this Fall of 2014, when Israel has no choice but to go it alone and pre-emptively attack and destroy Iran’s Russian-build nuclear facilities, which Putin will take as a personal affront against his power, and in response Russia will lead an invasion with Iran and the other nations into Israel – but GOD will destroy them all!
Remember the “earthquake” that will happen in Israel, and the steep places will fall, and every wall fall down,” well the Temple Mount is a “steep place” and I predict that the major historic world-changing event that will occur in 2014-2015 is that the vile demonic Muslim Mosques which now desecrate the Holy Site of God’s past and future Holy Temples, will crumble and be destroyed by this earthquake (this has already happened about a half-dozen times in centuries past since the Muslim Mosque was first built over the site of the Jewish Temple in about 690 A.D., but every time the Muslims have rebuilt the Mosques). ?But this time, with Russia’s and Islam’s armies destroyed, I believe Israel will take control of the Temple Mount and begin the building of God’s 3rd Holy Temple as foretold in Ezekiel chapters 40-47!
Further, I believe this will usher in a great time of peace and prosperity around the world, lulling both the world and many “Christians” asleep just prior the Lord Jesus Christi’s Coming to receive His Bride – His Church – unto Himself and take Her back to Heaven for 7-years (Matthew 24:37-46; Luke 21:34-36; John 14:1-6; 1 Thessalonians 4:13—5:10; Revelation 3:10-11; etc.), after which shall begin the 7 years of Tribulation upon the Earth (Revelation 4:1).
Are you ready for Jesus Christ to come? Repent of your sins and call upon His Name to Save you from your sins and to become your Lord and Savior!
