Watch & Pray. There are prophecies concerning what many call a Tetrad or 4 total lunar eclipses that will occur beginning Passover 2014 and ending on the Feast of Tabernacles 2015. Is it the same as what the Bible call the "Blood Moon"? According to NASA (2014), a Tetrad is a series of 4 consecutive total eclipses occurring at approximately six-month intervals. A total eclipse happens when the entire Moon is shadowed. During this time the Moon appears red when light beams into the heart of Earth's shadow, filling it with a coppery glow and transforming the Moon into a great red orb. The face of the Moon turns sunset-red for up to an hour or more as the eclipse slowly unfolds. When tracking the historical phenomenon, you will discover that there were significant events that happened around the occurrences. (see chart below)
Some theologians believe that there is a correlation between the Tetrad and what the Bible call the "Blood Moon." They reference the scriptures dealing with coming of the Lord and the Blood Moon (Joel 2:31, Acts 2:20, Rev 6:12). However, I don't believe that Tetrads are the same as the "Blood Moon" mentioned in the scripture because the occurrences are way too common. I believe the passages in the Bible regarding the "Blood Moon" is way more profound regarding what will take place on that day, and it will indeed be a terrible day. When the "Blood Moon" scripture passage is fulfilled, and the events surrounding it take place, I don't believe anyone will question its authenticity. What can we possible conclude from the previous patterns formed? Will there be a significant event around the time they occur or is there potentially trouble heading our way? Heaven only knows and can reveal its significance. If it's trouble, then we must continue to pray and ask God for direction, draw closer to HIM like never before, and be ready. At the end of the day, we are getting closer and closer to the great tribulation and the return of Christ, so it behooves us to stay in the state of readiness. Father help us today.
