A popular teaching in the past couple years was that a series of blood-red moons in 2014 and 2015 would be a portent of Jesus' second coming and a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. A lunar eclipse ...

We are told that no one knows the day or the hour of Jesus return. Mark 13:32. We are also told that we should constantly be on our guard for we do not know when the time will come Mark 13:33. We should continue to work while it is daylight John 9:4. Regardless of theories let us work. Maybe today is the last day.

Regarding the coming Tetrad in 2014 - 2015 and in support to the previous reply... In the spring of 2014, we will experience a rare phenomenon called the “Blood Moon Tetrad”. We’ve had many lunar eclipses in the past and when the moon passes behind the earth, the moon often appears red. However, when these eclipses or tetrads occur on or around a Jewish Holy Feast day then something significant happens that is worth noting. We know that God outlined his Holy Feast days for the Jewish people in Leviticus 23. These Jewish Feasts were not created by man but by the God of Israel. God has predetermined blood red moons to indicate critical and important times in history of Israel. In other words, around every one of these blood moon tetrad, God has brought significant events in the history of the Jewish people. Will the next Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015 which also falls on Jewish Holidays bring about something of Biblical importance? Here is my opinion. The Jewish people regained their land during the first tetrad around 1948. Then the Jewish people regained their city during the second tetrad in 1967. Could the next tetrad of 2014-2015 bring about the fulfillment of the Jewish people regaining their long awaited Temple? With all the current talk about the Peace treaty between Israel and the Arab nations, it is very possible that part of this treaty will allow Israel to rebuild their Temple. In my research I have discovered that the Jewish Temple has already been build off site and the sections are ready to be transported to its original site on the Temple mount. They are just waiting for the treaty being signed guaranteeing them peace and safety. This is very significant in view of Bible prophesy because this peace treaty may be the very one that triggers Daniel’s 70th week or the 7 year tribulation period, as recorded in Daniel 9:27. This Peace treaty will be confirmed by the one the Bible calls the antichrist - the one that will defile this third Jewish Temple half way through the tribulation period. Jesus depicted this in Matthew 24:15. He called it “the abomination of desolation”. I think God is trying to show us something with this coming tetrad! For those who know Bible Prophecy and believe in the Rapture occurring before the 7 year Tribulation, I think it is time for us to serious look at the season we are in and get our lives and our family ready for our soon coming King. The “Day or the Hour” that Jesus talked about does not include the year or the month, otherwise why would Jesus say we would know the season as in Matthew 24:32 and to “watch and pray” as in Luke 21:36?” Scriptures: “And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years…(Gen. 1:14).” The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. Joel 2:31 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 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; Revelation 6:12

My humble opinion is one should not set dates for that which is unknowable, but only to GOD Himself. That said His Word gives His people sign posts along our journey to watch for and mark as meaningful. There now appears to be a convergence of many signs in our time / season, what, where and mostly when are questions of the age. So what should one to do? Focus on the things of God, winning as many as you can to the kingdom, live your life as if you only have 33 minutes (max missile flight time from any where). Become the Bible believing Christians in the book of Acts and fear no man for we have a promise from the creator of all. Whose promise can not and will not change period, His Word is above His very name. This time period season we are in is what the prophets could only view and those before us could only wonder or dream about. Let us use it with purpose and wisely for the Lord and His glory as the unbelievers seek answers in fear. 1Cor. 16:13 Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong. Consider these signs to appear in the sky and in the heavens starting on Passover next year a series of four blood moons (sun-earth-moon). 1st. Total lunar eclipse of moon 4-15-14 feast of Pesach / passover 2nd. Total lunar eclipse of moon 10-8-14 feast of Sukkot / booths / taberacles. On March 20 2015 total eclipse of the sun (sun-moon-earth) 3rd. Total lunar eclipse of the moon 4-4-15 feast of Pesach / passover. 4th. Total lunar eclipse of the moon 9-27-15 feast of Sukkot / booths / taberacles. Nasa has said that after 2015 four blood moons will not happen for at least 500 years and in history only three times 1492, 1948, 1967. All three times in history are tied to Israel or it's people. 1492 Jews are expelled from Spain (people) 1948 Israel becomes a nation (land) 1967 Israel temple mount united (land) 2015 to be revealed? Consider that the fourth moon appears on a feast day in the Jewish year 5777 the last quarter of our calendar year 2015. Rosh Hashanah feast of trumpets (Jewish New Year) comes before Yon Kippur (day of atonement) and Sukkot (booths / taberacles). And this year 5775 Hanukah (lights) falls on the day of Thanksgiving, the earliest day/time in history.....in the Lord's freedom warrior on.

No, but it may be the time when Israel sign a covenant of death mentioned in Isaiah and be the beginning of the 7 year tribulation period that comes prior to the time when Jesus will return to sit on the throne of David at Mt. Zion, Jerusalem. This covenant may be the result of the US forcing Israel to come to terms with the Palestinian's to allow them to have a Palestinian State. This will only happen if Israel security is guaranteed by the nations involved in bringing about the agreement. Since from Adam to Abraham was about 2000 years and from Abraham to Jesus another 2000 years, from the death of Jesus 28/29 A.D, then it seems that his return will take place before 2028/9. If we take into consideration that time will be cut short and that Satan will be allowed to deceive that nations at the end of the 1,000 year rule of Jesus on this earth and that period of time might be 7 years, then if we subtract 7 years from 2028/9 we come to 2021 Now subtract 7 years from that date and you come up with 2014/5, to begin the last 7 years before the end of this age and Christ's return. As to the exact day and hour no man know but the Father, however, if we look at what the Holy Days stand for then most probably his return will take place on Rosh Hoshanna 2021/22, the Day of the blowing of Trumpets proclaiming the coming of the king of Israel.
