Cause and Effect

Premiss:
Genesis 12:3 (KJV)
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

  1. So, in the news, read about governmental actions against Israel’s government.
  2. Look for natural events that occur within 48 hours of those statements

That’s it. I’ve laid out some of what I found. I have gigabyte of articles showing cause and effect with the EU, UK, Australia, Spain and the U.S. and I know there are more, but I don’t have the means to read other languages.

Law and Death

As children we are born innocent, ignorant of the law. We grow up and our parents, our teachers, our baby sitters, our pastors, and society as a whole teach us about laws: God’s law, physical laws, governmental laws, acceptable societal laws, and our own experiential laws. As we grow older we begin to pick and choose how and when to obey laws based on our experiences and beliefs.

If the governmental law says that the speed limit is 25mph and as soon as we go past 25mph we are criminals. That’s the law, plain and simple. Societal laws say that going over the limit by 5mph usually won’t get you noticed by the law enforcers – the police. We take that thinking with us where ever we go. Some think “As long as I don’t get caught, I’m innocent.” Then when and only when they are caught, they repent, but only enough to reduce the fine or talk their way out of punishment. Why not, it worked on our parents. But as soon as they’re let go with a firm warning or a light fine, they’re back to their old ways.

Paul says “…for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.” God said not to lie (bear false witness) and because He said so, now it’s a law. Every time we “stretch” the truth, or omit the truth we are lying to others and to ourselves thereby breaking God’s law. In God’s eyes, anyone who breaks His laws must die. The payment for breaking God’s law is death. That’s it, plain and simple. It is just like being thrown into a debtor’s prison until the funds are raised to get you out of debt. If there’s no one that is willing to help you raise the needed funds, you’ll die there, in your debt. Except you’re thrown into this prison from birth! How fair is that? It isn’t! So a loving God sent His perfect holy Son to live in the flesh, like us, and live in the flesh without breaking God’s law, and then to pay for our debtor prison’s fine – death. His innocence was transferred to your account and your debt was transferred to His account, and He died for you, and you were set free. In God’s eyes, you died with Christ. If you’re dead there’s no law and if no law how can you be accused? If your great-great-great-grandfather is dead, how can the police arrest him for anything! That is how God sees you when you accept the gift of His Son. Unlike being dead in society, Jesus rose from the dead and since we died with Him on the cross, when He rose from the dead we rose to newness of life!

Now begins the war. When Jesus died for you, He died for your soul and spirit, but your flesh (body and mind) is still doomed until His return. You see Adam was the ruler of all, but when he chose to follow his own thoughts and disobey God, everything in the universe was infected with sin. Your body, just like the flower in your garden, or your dog, even the sun, is subject to the sin that Adam committed, and is cursed by God. While this might be hard to swallow [pun intended], but Adam saw that nothing happened to Eve when she ate the forbidden fruit, and not being deceived, willfully ate the fruit, and everything became infected with sin. So now when Adam and Eve had children, they too were infected with sin. This is why Jesus was born of a virgin, the sin-infected DNA of Adam wasn’t passed to Jesus.

So about this war… since we are dead, what war? Well, we still grew up with laws and the way of thinking about them directs our choices, good or bad. Most of those laws are wrong and so as we learn the truth through the written word of God and His Holy Spirit that lives within us. Therefore, we have a lot of things to unlearn. Romans 7 spells out this war. And while we are dead to sin, we must not allow it to continue to reign in our lives. The way to overcome them is through the knowledge of the Holy Spirit’s truth and renewing our minds every day. Paul says that we want to do good, but still inside is this desire to do the old ways, and sin. Sin is still in our bodies until we are free from it and that can only happen when the body succumbs to physical death or Jesus returns and gives us bodies like His. Read this:

Romans 7:22-24 (KJV) For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

Notice this war is in our thoughts. The decisions we make are all based on these life-long teachings, these laws, that we’ve accepted throughout our lives. “I know I shouldn’t, but I so want that cupcake!” Exaggerating the truth is still a lie and most people do it out of a lifetime of habit. These are the battles, the war, we fight in our minds. We are to take captive every thought and useless imagination. That means we’re to have an active mind, not a passive mind. A passive mind is one where you’re reading a book and you know you’ve read page, but at the same time, you were thinking about your kids, or work, and you don’t remember what you read. Or you’re walking down the street and you’ve walked a mile and didn’t even realize it because you were thinking of everything except your surroundings. Have you ever drove on “auto-pilot”? All these things are passive. This is why so many people are unhappy. They’re either thinking about the future or the past, and that means anything other than living in this very moment.

I guarantee you most people won’t have made it this far in this teaching, and if you have, you’re more active in your thinking than most. As a final thought [pun intended] let’s read the answer to Paul’s (and our) dilemma:

Romans 7:25 (KJV) I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

You are dead to sin, don’t let the devil whip up thoughts of condemnation. How can you be condemned when you’re already dead! Paul warns not to let your liberty (your freedom) from sin be an excuse to sin. You’re an ambassador for God and your mission is to bring men to God and God to men – reconciliation. When you deal with the sins in your flesh you’ll reap the reward of peace. They call it a “conscience” but it’s really the law of God written on our hearts. So when we don’t listen to what’s written within us, we’re not at peace.

Just my two cents. I hope you enjoyed it. I learned a lot 😀

Right or Wrong

Is lying wrong? Is stealing wrong? Is murder wrong? Is hate wrong? Who says so? What right do you have to tell me that killing my neighbor and eating him is wrong? It’s done in other parts of the world. What makes it okay for them and not me? Yesterday the law says “this” is wrong and today the law is changed to say that “this” is right. Under what authority do they have to make or change the law? Society, they say. Well, what if all of society decides that the best way to deal with dead beat welfare people is to eat them? Is that right or wrong? Who says so? What right do you have to say “this” is wrong or “this” is correct?

60 Minutes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRvVFW85IcU) found a study recently on babies to see if they knew right from wrong. And to the amazement of everyone they did! How? They can’t even communicate. How then? The only answer is Moral Law, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpMSP-jWoH0). What is Moral Law? The law that God wrote on all our hearts, Romans 2:15; Hebrews 8:10; Hebrews 10:16. We call it a conscience. Now, if one rejects what the conscience is saying then they are making themselves hard towards the truth and reject anything they don’t “feel” is right or wrong instead of what they “know” in their heart as being right or wrong, Zechariah 7:12. This is the fundamental reason evolution was created: to deny God exists so the conscience could be rejected without conviction. No God, no conviction.

Is having sex with your neighbor wrong? Is having sex with your stepmother/father wrong? Is having sex with your neighbor’s husband/wife wrong? Is having sex with your sibling wrong? Is having sex with the same sex wrong? Is having sex with an animal wrong? Well if you answer yes to some and no to others, then you’re picking and choosing based on the winds of fluctuating feelings of society. But! If you believe the written word of God is indeed from God, then all these things are wrong, absolutely without hesitation. Why? Because the written word of God says they’re all wrong and God specifically says same sex is an abomination. So, when I say these things are wrong, I’m not judging someone, I’m only reiterating what the foundational word of God says. It is our owner’s manual for life on earth. It is for OUR benefit to believe and follow what it says. Do you like to be lied to? Why not? Everyone does it, they say. Yet, when you catch someone in a lie you’re furious. Why? What right do you have to be angry? God wrote it on your heart and you choose to accept that as truth: not telling the truth is wrong.

So this is the crux of the matter: do you believe God or not? Believing IN God isn’t enough. You have to believe what He says too.

Here’s a little study I did after reading Hosea 6:2.

 Hosea 6:2 KJV After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

2 Peter 3:8 KJV But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

In searching the tetrad blood moons (my study: https://abdicate.net/blog/?p=410) and when they happened, I found the start of the “2 days”: the first set of blood moons happened in 80BC-79BC when the Romans defeated the Maccabees. Later Alexander Jannaeus rose up to push them out and united Israel. He died and his wife took over as queen (only the second in Israel’s history). The next set of blood moons happened and it was 3 consecutive years 72-70BC. When she died, 3 years later, in 67BC her sons fought for five years over who should have power. They chose to ask Pompey to settle the matter and he did by conquering them and putting them under Roman rule again. Israel lost their independence in 63BC until 1948!

  • -63(BC)+2000 years (2 “days”) (add +1 year for no year zero when transitioning from BC to AD) = 1938
  • 1938 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938) the Nazi’s invaded the Sudetenland and voided all Jewish passports. 11 months later WWII started ending with the birth of Israel and the death of 20 million people of which 6 million were Jews.

1938 = the end of 2000 years (2 days)

Isaiah 66:8 KJV Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

In 1948 Israel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel) was born in a day by U.N. resolution 181! So “in” the third day Jesus will come… We’re in the third day right now. With the other timelines, the headlines of online news compared to Matthew 24, time is very short!

Hebrews 4:12 – Part One

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

This verse pretty much sums up the spoken and written word of God. The word “quick” isn’t about speed, but to live. The word of God is powerful meaning it has the ability to effect change. “Sharper” here is the meaning of a single blow to divide instead of “hacking” away at something. A two-edged sword is one that when used not only divides in two downward, but can divide going upward, saving so miniscule, and sometimes vital, amount of time from having to twist one’s hand to position the blade correctly in order to divide. Now comes the amazing part, as if what was stated wasn’t enough, of the word of God. This verse shows the three parts of man: body, soul, and spirit, 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart – aka soul

I’m going to start with the last part and work backwards to show the importance of this one verse. “… discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” There are over 800 verses on the “heart”. Here are a select few:

Proverbs 16:9 (KJV) A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

Psalms 139:23-24 (KJV) Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Proverbs 6:18 (KJV) An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

Proverbs 14:30 (KJV) A sound heart [is] the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

Proverbs 17:22 (KJV) A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Proverbs 23:7a (KJV) For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he…

Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV) The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?

The word of God knows the truth about the thoughts and intents of the heart. As you can see from these few verses the heart is literally the “heart of the matter” concerning mankind. The “heart” is the consciousness of a person, not the physical organ beating in our chests. Whatever is in the heart is what they do which is why there is so much evil in the world. We are born with a great deceit in our hearts, Jeremiah 17:9. This is why a child’s heart is bound by foolishness, Proverbs 22:15. When someone loves another, they’re blind to the truth, a matter of the heart. When someone set out on a determined quest, it’s first born in the heart. David asked God to search his heart for any wickedness that might be lurking there. It takes God’s word to overcome the heart and to reprogram it. Thoughts are seeds planted and intent is the fruit of those seeds. This is why David asked such of thing of God. This consciousness is where our physical bodies are affected. While physical heart transplants1 have shown that not everything changes to the donor’s way of life, the “heart” is the center of one’s decisions; a combination of both mind and heart, the soul of a person. A great read is found here: http://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/heart.

When you read “soul” in the Hebrew Scriptures it’s referring to this consciousness. The same word in Greek is psyche. In Hebrew the word for heart is “leb” and the paleo-Hebrew picture is two letters: lamed and beit giving the picture of a shepherd’s staff – authority – and a house meaning “in”. So the “heart” in Hebrew is the “authority within”, our consciousness. Interestingly the word “dog” in Hebrew is ka-leb – meaning “all heart”; very fitting for man’s best friend.

The power of the heart is unstoppable. God changed man’s language because whatever a man can imagine there’s nothing to restrain it, Genesis 11:6! This is very evident today with the fulfillment of prophecy, Daniel 12:4, because the English language as the de facto language of the world unites everyone allowing great advances in, well, everything. Now with the maturing of the Internet, knowledge can’t help but increase even more, but then so can evil. And without the word of God to rewire us, the deceitful heart will rule. The damage is done to those people who do not follow after God’s ways by being unstable in all their ways, James 1:8. The imagination of a fiction writer in India could spark an idea in a scientist in California to find a cure for leukemia. Certainly the work of 1960’s Star Trek spawned a whole generation of kids to see beyond what they were taught in school to create cell phones, 3D images, non-evasive diagnostic medical tools. Jules Vern provoked the idea of man going to the moon via rockets and an underground transportation system we call subways today. All back in the late 1800’s! Studies after studies show that people who want to achieve have a vision of what they want on the inner TV screen of their mind. In the military, they’ll tell you to imagine all the bullets going through the center of the target. When that vision is clarified within that inner TV screen, the body executes the success. The imagination is the breeding ground of ideas. Businesses call it brainstorming and Google has dedicated a whole lab to it. In fact, one of the six things that God hates is an evil imagination, Proverbs 6:18.

The word of God is able to separate the thought from the intent – the idea from the reason for its execution. What motivates us to do what we do is what the word of God can tell us. So powerful is the imagination that Jesus says that lusting in the heart is the same as executing the lust in physical form, Matthew 5:27-28! John says if we hate, we’re a murder, 1 John 3:15. We are told to take captive every single thought, 2 Corinthians 10:4-6, and focus on whatever thing is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of any virtue or praiseworthy or of good report, think on these things. These thoughts will rewrite your thinking and give you peace and joy. And when you have these things, your heart will be merry and a merry heart is medicine to the body, Proverbs 17:22, and life to the body, Proverbs 14:30. It is very evident that too many are just walking zombies and not actively using their mind taking control of their hearts and minds but becoming slaves to them.

The power of the “heart” is just now being examined by scientists2, though they call it the mind and although it may be just that, it is the same thing as the whom in who we are. They have found that after just eight hours of mindfulness meditation the subjects “showed a range of genetic and molecular differences”. Mindfulness meditation is focusing on the moment with all the senses, no passive-autopilot thinking, not “emptying of the mid” but using the mind to focus on the task at hand. An example of this type of meditation is taking a single raisin and studying it with your eyes, then with your fingers, then with your ears (even though it makes no noise, you take note of it), then the smell of it, and finally with your mouth, savoring the taste, noticing the texture, the sweetness of the liquid that comes out. The idea behind this kind of meditation is to live in the moment and not letting it pass by, not focusing on tomorrow, yesterday or even something else, but enjoying the moment. Now you might be thinking that’s preposterous. Yet the word of God says it’s true!

Matthew 6:34 (KJV) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof.

Philippians 4:6 (KJV) Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Proverbs 23:7a (KJV) For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he…

Whereas the scientists are looking at meditation – as defined as living in the moment – the Scripture uses the word “to mutter” as in “meditate the word of God” as God instructed Joshua, to focus on God’s word:

Joshua 1:8 (KJV) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

To meditate is the speak under your breath the word of God and thereby gaining more faith in the things that God says.

Romans 10:17 (KJV) So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

All the day long we are bombarded by people talking to us about their ideas whether in person, on the radio, TV, reading articles on the internet, or even your own thoughts. If you sleep 8 hours a day, that leaves 16 hours of bombardment. In that amount of time, how much is dedicated to the word of God? Now you can see how the scales are tipped against you. But if you take just one verse in the morning and think on it, mutter it under your breath, all day, what a huge different that’ll make.

Please read this study on meditating: https://abdicate.net/blog/?p=161

10 Signs and a Rabbi

Some very interesting times are coming in the next few years. But let’s start with a Jewish prophet from 1217 AD – 100% accurate!

 Rabbi Judah ben Samuel – “When the Ottomans (Turks) – who were already a power to be reckoned with on the Bosporus in the time of Judah Ben Samuel – conquer Jerusalem they will rule over Jerusalem for eight jubilees. Afterwards Jerusalem will become no-man’s land for one jubilee, and then in the ninth jubilee it will once again come back into the possession of the Jewish nation – which would signify the beginning of the Messianic end time.”  1

Jubilee – 50 Years

Leviticus 25:10-13 (KJV) And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of thy vine undressed. For it [is] the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.

  • 8 * 50 = 400 years (8 Jubilees) 1517 Ottoman Empire takes Jerusalem 2
    • 1517 + 400 = 1917
  • 1 * 50 = 50 years (1 Jubilee – no-man’s land) 1917 Gen. Allenby takes Jerusalem from the Ottoman Empire 3
    • 1917 + 50 = 1967
  • 1 * 50 = 50 years (1 Jubilee – 9th) 1967 Israel takes Jerusalem for the first time since 70 AD (Start of the Messianic time)

Now let’s look at other events leading up to today.

  • 70,71,72 AD Blood Moon Tetrad (3 years in a row) Temple Destroyed 4
  • 1493-1495 Blood Moon Tetrad (the beginning of the birth of Israel – Columbus searches for homeland for the Jews 5)
  • 1517 the Ottoman Empire took Jerusalem and Sultan Selim declared himself Caliph 6
  • 1517 Martin Luther publishes his 95 theses – Reformation began 7
  • 1917 Gen. Allenby takes Jerusalem
  • 1947 U.N. votes to have a partition plan for Palestine. Israel declared a nation in a day 8
    •  Isaiah 66:8 (KJV) Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
  • 1948-49  War of Independence for Israel 9  (Blood Moon Tetrad – 1949 – 1950)
  • 1967 Jerusalem is taken by the Jews for the first time since 70 AD in the Six Day War 10 (Blood Moon Tetrad –  1967-68 4)
  • 2014 – 2015 Blood Moon Tetrad 4
  • 2017
    • Virgo (the virgin giving birth!) and the 12 stars (9/23/2017 – Rev 12:1?)
    • Jerusalem’s Jubilee (1967 + 50 = 2017)
    • 70-year anniversary of the Dead Sea Scroll discovery 11
    • Roswell NM incident July 1947 12 The Nephilim 13
    • 2018 7 years until the end of the 6000 year cycle from Creation according to my study 14

  • Lunar Eclipse – bad for the Jews 16
  • Solar Eclipse – bad for the world 17
  • Super Moon – blood moon eclipse 28 Sep 2015 18

Then there’s this verse…

Revelation 12:1-2 (KJV) And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

  • Jupiter, the King planet 19, retrogrades (enters Virgo 12/22/2016, and rotates, then exits 10/18/2017) Virgo for ~42 weeks (gestation period!)

bm1

Enters (12/22/2016) and Exits (10/18/2017) the “womb” of Virgo

bm2

bm3

  • Leo’s constellation has 9 visible stars to the naked eye… 20 With Mercury, Mars, and Venus, visible at that moment, makes 12 stars.  (9/23/2017 – Rev 12:1?)

bm5

What does all this mean? I only have two verses:

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

Luke 21:36 (KJV) Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Experience

The problem with Christianity is one thing: humans. We are prejudice, discriminatory, and racists. We’re quick to judge anything as negative, or at least sceptical, if we have not experienced it for ourselves. My wife is a Spaniard and it took three Thanksgivings before she’d even try a piece of pumpkin pie. Why? Because in Spain you have pumpkin soup or eat pumpkin seeds as a snack, but not pumpkin as a pie. It just wasn’t in her culture. Now she makes some of the best variety of pumpkin pies I’ve ever eaten and my belt testifies too loudly that point. In her eyes pumpkins were not for making pies. She had to overcome, learn and adapt. Humans are, for the most part, not amenable to change. Whatever we grew up with believing, tends to stay with us.

Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

 

We Christians are judged by the world for our actions, like it or not, and we do the same thing to other Christians. But just like the world, Christians are fleshly in beliefs and in actions as well. Everything under the sun will be exploited and exaggerated. Healings are real. My wife was 100% healed from a condition I didn’t even know about until I had to translate a question from a Godly woman about my fiance’ neck. If it hadn’t happened to me, it would have stayed a belief “from the Bible” only. Yet there are “pastors” that pay people to be “healed” to boost ratings and rake in the money. That doesn’t make healings false.

Speaking in tongues is one way the Spirit prays through us for things our flesh would only get in the way.

Romans 8:26 (KJV)
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

 

It is also the means by which the Spirit communicates to someone you’re speaking to that neither of you speak a common language.

Acts 2:6 (KJV)
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

 

Paul gives us guidelines for speaking in tongues but far too many that use it use it incorrectly, to make a show and bring attention to themselves instead of to Jesus. Paul says if tongues are used in public, they should be interpreted, otherwise, what good is it, except to communicate with God in your closet. As with a chaotic church service with people falling all over the place, or stoic church stifling the movement of the Holy Spirit, mob mentality tends to rule.

I absolutely LOVE John MacArthur! He’s an awesome teacher, but he doesn’t believe in the manifestations of the Spirit at all. I was like him until I experienced the Holy Spirit for myself. So who’s correct? We both are. See, all you have to do is look at creation and see the myriads of differences to understand that every human being is different. We’re even sealed as such by God in our fingerprints.

Job 37:7 (KJV)
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

 

Smith Wigglesworth was a great man of God in the early 20th century and has documented raisings of the dead, including his own wife. He healed tens of thousands and yet he could not heal his deaf daughter. God deals with us as differently as He does with creation. Even God’s choice to convey His message are from two diverse languages you can get on earth. Hebrew is a wonderfully creative language. Using root words, you can create your own word – much like we do in English using -gate to depict a scandal like Watergate, and people will understand you. Greek is a very structured language with a lot of rules, saying what it means and means what it says.

We claim to follow Christ, but most of the quotes we make from the Scriptures are from Paul. Paul was a radical. Paul only had the Hebrew Scriptures and yet we quote him more than anyone else, even Jesus. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Yet just as different creation is throughout the world, so is His dealings with us. What Paul said in his day cause him to end up in jail as well as all those that repeated his words. We have a promise from Joel that in the last days God would pour out His Spirit on ALL flesh.

Joel 2:28-32 (KJV)
And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

 

This started at Pentecost:

Acts 2:14-21 (KJV)
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all [ye] that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is [but] the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And 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: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 

But who said it ended? If it’s recorded in the Word of God then is can happen again. John warns us that the world could not contain all that there is to be written just about Jesus’ life on earth, how can we dismiss what’s written of in the Word of God as being phoney baloney in the lives of people today? Enoch was raptured, was it only meant for him? Before Elijah, one could easily preach as such! But no, it’s not just for Enoch because Elijah was raptured. Jesus was raptured. Paul’s friend, John, Daniel, and Philip were raptured, albeit temporarily. So if someone talks about being translated, who are we to dismiss it as not possible just because we ourselves haven’t experienced it. Elijah saw the Lord’s army but his servant didn’t – until he prayed for him to see. So when someone says they see angles and you don’t, that doesn’t make them better than you and it doesn’t make you worse than them.

Hebrews 13:2 (KJV)
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

 

So if people have entertained angels unaware, some have entertained knowingly! In whatever you do, do it for the glory of the Lord. We are “sons of God” yet that title was reserved for the angles of the OT. Yet, that isn’t the end of us! There waits something else for us!

1 John 3:2 (KJV)
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

 

An amazing fact. But be content. If you’re happy with milk, enjoy the milk, get a milky mustache, and give thanks to God. If you want more, there’s more, take it. God loves you. Delight in Him and He’ll give you the desires of your heart, because your desire will be Him and He’ll come to you!

Hebrews 10:19-25 (ISV)
Therefore, my brothers, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh), and since we have a great high priest over the household of God, let us continue to come near with sincere hearts in the full assurance that faith provides, because our hearts have been sprinkled clean from a guilty conscience, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. Let us continue to hold firmly to the hope that we confess without wavering, for the one who made the promise is faithful. And let us continue to consider how to motivate one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another even more as you see the day of the Lord coming nearer.

The Fallen Ones

So, you cannot get away from the original language. Here are ALL the OT verses on this phrase: Sons of God (ben Elohim).

Genesis 6:2 (KJV) That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Genesis 6:4 (KJV) There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.

Job 1:6 (KJV) Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Job 2:1 (KJV) Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

Job 38:7 (KJV) When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Using scripture itself, you cannot translate it anyother way than that they are angels. Then when you get into the Hebrew the word for giants is “the fallen ones” nefelim. The more science comes into alignment with the Scriptures, we begin to understand more of the truth written in it.

If I said God would send a strong man from a country whose image is a lion and defend Jerusalem like the birds, what would you say? here’s the prophecy HE knew he fulfilled:

Isaiah 31:4-5 (KJV) For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, [he] will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof. As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver [it; and] passing over he will preserve [it].

Who was this man? General Allenby in 1917. The Turks, having never seen a plane before, didn’t know what to think. When Gen. Allenby threw down a note demanding they surrender, all they read was “ALENBI” Son of the Prophet! And he took Jerusalem without a fight.

Christians need to study quantum physics so they can explain to the scientists the power of God and What (or better put Who) is holding the atom (and thereby the universe) together.

Hosea 4:6 (KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

As kings and priests we need to understand the scriptures and how they relate to the world and vice versa. It’s no wonder the world doesn’t listen to us, they cannot understand the Scriptures without the Holy Spirit and too many cannot understand them to explain the truth and possibilities of events from the Scriptures that explain mysteries found in the world. Christians reject dinosaurs because they don’t exist today, yet there’s tons of fossils. We see with our spiritual eyes and they see with their physical eyes. Both groups have shortcomings, but we as Christians have the Holy Spirit to teach us in all truth, but too many don’t even want to understand science because “it’s evil and rejects God” so learn it and show them!

I’ve never read it or heard any preacher say this, but I KNOW for a fact that there is a chemical process that occurs when two people marry. I have a “gift” of smell. I can smell things others can’t pick up for minutes after I’ve said something. My family calls me a human blood-hound. I say this because when I married my wife, MY chemistry, my smell changed and so did hers. I cannot tell her apart from me when clothing is put before me. Scientist, as far as I know, have not pick up on this, nor will they because the Scriptures say:

Genesis 2:24 (KJV) Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

So what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah was more than just homosexuality.

Jude 1:7 (KJV) Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Some will say “it’s just the same sex” but it says different, other or strange in Greek.

Or they knew the two men were not human from experience, but that takes faith to believe such a thing. But then we have Gen 6:4 KJV as an explanation. I’m not expert, but it makes perfect sense to me because whereas God creates (bara) Satan can only imitate. What better way to imitate than Dolly the sheep! Mixing different flesh (you see it in all the movies today – Spiderman, Heroes, X-Men, Thor, even the Spielberg’s movie Taken, which fit perfectly into this scenario.) Anyhow, in the end, it is what it is, however one chooses to understand the information presented.

False logic: Bad boys of Cain mate with the good girls of Seth and produce giants! Hmmm… Human + Human = Giant? I think not. Well, the world has accepted them as aliens (Stargate, Ancient Aliens – History Channel) but we Christians demand that they’re only humans. Yet at the same time, logically, we throw out the door logic by believing in talking donkeys, bringing back people from the dead, men walking on water, teleportation (Philip), levitation (Enoch, Elijah and Jesus ascending), axe heads floating on water and wood sinking… Look at what they did the to the stenographer for the Congress the other day. After declaring that God will not be mocked three times they took her off to the hospital – not the police station! I mean it just goes on and on, yet when we bring in the deceiver and his activities, “OH NO! That’s not possible!”

In the original Hebrew there’s a very curious word, highlighted, in these verses:

Isaiah 26:14 (KJV) [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

Isaiah 26:19 (KJV) Thy dead [men] shall live, [together with] my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew [is as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

The word is Raphaim. Rapha means “to cure” or “to cause to heal” and the “im” is like the “s” in cars. So why is this plural word for cures translated as dead? This word is found only eight times in the Scriptures and here are the other six (the word is highlighted – the unhighlighted words for dead is mooth, meaning dead):

Job 26:5 (KJV) Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

Psalms 88:10 (KJV) Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise [and] praise thee? Selah.

Proverbs 2:18 (KJV) For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto thedead.

Proverbs 9:18 (KJV) But he knoweth not that the dead [are] there; [and that] her guests [are] in the depths of hell.

Proverbs 21:16 (KJV) The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

Isaiah 14:9 (KJV) Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet [thee] at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, [even] all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

Notice something about these… they are NOT going to see the resurrection. Yet Revelation says the dead will rise for judgment, why not these? What’s so unique about these dead that by their demise we have a “cure”!? Why is it God didn’t send a preacher to Sodom or Gomorrah? Why weren’t Noah’s brothers and sisters saved? Why was Noah “perfect” in his “generation”? (The word perfect is “complete perfection”, but he was a sinner like us… so what else can it mean? “Generation” is the same root word as “genetics”.) Why no mercy for those living in Canaan? Doesn’t seem like a loving God. Because of these unnatural beings! God said ALL FLESH was spoiled! Gen 6:12 KJV. The word for “violence” is also the word for “damaged”! Literally “all flesh is filled with damage”! What better way to attack the prophecy of Gen 3:15 KJV than to mess with the seed line of the Messiah! And notice the devil has a “seed”!

King Og was the last of the giants and he was 15 feet tall – a remnant of the Nephalim – “fallen ones”. If a bad person has a child with a good person, as many believe Gen 6:4 KJV refers to, there’d be giants all over the world today. But the tallest man ever recorded is 8 feet 3 inches. Hmmm… something’s not right then. Why is it so hard to believe the word of God? “But there’s no marriage in heaven Matthew 22:30 (KJV)” That’s right, but it doesn’t say they can’t do evil as the fallen angels have done. Marriage is a ceremony not just the act of mating. Why are these particular fallen angels in prison and not all?

Jude 1:6 (KJV) And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

Are not all fallen angels (demons) who “kept not their first estate”? Why then do demons freely roam the earth today? They’re not in prison. So why then? What was so special about these fallen angels? In the absence of specific information, one must then conclude that they are those fallen angels (Nephalim – fallen ones) who mated, illegally, with humans to produce giants. It’s logical and makes perfect sense with the information we have from the Scriptures.

As I’ve shown in my previous list of verses, the “sons of God” are all angles. Man wasn’t present at the foundation of the earth so how can they sing for joy? I just don’t get how people cannot believe all of the Scriptures and yet hold onto other supernatural events. Of all the stories of evil in the OT, Jesus picked both Noah and Lot as a sign for the last days. While I believe it is indeed because they were evil, both also refer to “strange flesh” and “fallen ones”. These hybrids are a result of what we call today genetic manipulation. We are taking DNA from different species and quickly mixing all kinds of flesh to make unnatural creatures. Just look at the glowing pigs in Taiwan. So much of what we eat today is GMO (genetically modified foods) and they’re causing real issues like food allergies. The GMO wheat in China has created superbugs they are unable to kill. Today if you don’t want a girl, we can tweak the process… what green eyes in your children, no problem. Some day soon, someone will try to mix a spider and a human in an attempt to make a superhuman. Don’t think it’s possible? Read in the BBC about the spider-goat!

Does anyone today not believe that Hollywood is run by the devil? Look at the movies and songs he’s putting out. If you dare, read the lyrics of Katy Perry’s song E.T.Here’s the important part:

You’re so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil?
Could you be an angel?
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing

They say, be afraid
You’re not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA

They don’t understand you

You’re from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I’m ready to go
Lead me into the light

Kiss me, kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison
Take me, take me
Wanna be your victim
Ready for abduction
Boy, you’re an alien
Your touch so foreign
It’s supernatural
Extraterrestrial

You’re so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers
Stun me with your laser
Your kiss is cosmic
Every move is magic

You’re from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I’m ready to go
Lead me into the light

Hmmm… sounds like Gen 6:4 KJV to me… What more evidence do you need then from the actions of the devil?

Anyhow, as I said before, it is what it is.

Falling Away or Departure

2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJV) Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Yet the older translations into English all say “depart”:

2 Thessalonians 2:3 (Tyndale) Let no ma deceave you by eny meanes for the lorde commeth not excepte ther come a departynge fyrst and that that synfnll man be opened ye sonne of perdicion

2 Thessalonians 2:3 (Webster) Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,

2 Thessalonians 2:3 (Geneva) Let no man deceiue you by any meanes: for [that day shall not come,] except there come a departing first, and that that man of sinne be disclosed, [euen] the sonne of perdition,

The word “falling away” and “departure” in Greek is αποστασια and in the Modern Greek language translate as “distance” or “secessionism”. The dictionary says that apostasy means a “defection” which in my opinion would be more apt in this meaning. We as Christians are not part of this world, though we live in this world, and therefore we are defecting from the accepted worldly norm. That is, Jesus aids us in defecting from the earth. The world chooses the devil and we are defecting to God. To put it another way we are abandoning a belief system the world has accepted, of which we were once participants.

Men have since Adam chose to leave the truth for the false, so how is it that this “falling away” can be a sign? In America’s case, we started to depart from the truth in the 1920’s. We’ve come from a clearly born-of-God God-fearing nation to “we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.” President Obama1 He’s correct because even if you count all the “Christians” there are over 41,000 denominations!2 I’m sorry, but the falling away happened long ago.

Here are two articles that explain it better than I can:

http://www.raptureready.com/featured/ice/TheRapturein2Thessalonians2_3.html

http://blogs.blueletterbible.org/blb/2013/01/09/they-shall-not-escape

Remember, the paper copies of the Word of God will remain as a testimony as well as websites. People will be looking for the truth when their governments will be telling lies. In it, they will understand that the rapture was indeed a sign for those left behind to be on the lookout for the Son of Perdition, the Antichrist.

Blood-Moon Jewish Feasts Phenomenon

[Updated 05/30/2015 – to correct partial vs. full eclipses]

The biblical feasts all point to Jesus not the Jews or the Christians. They are signs to point to Him.

Here are the seven feasts:

  • Passover – 14 Nisan – Jesus died
  • Feast of Unleavened Bread – 15-21 Nisan – “The Bread of Life was dead”, unleavened bread is flat bread, no yeast, no life.
  • Firstfruits – ~16 Nisan – Jesus rose from the dead of the First Fruits 1 Corinthians 15:20 KJV
  • Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) – 6 Sivan (the Law and the Spirit – John 14:16 KJV – were given on the same day)
  • Feast of Trumpets – 1 Tishri – Second Coming of Christ (to rule) 1 Thessalonians 4:16 KJV
  • Day of Atonement – 10 Tishri – Sets up His 1000-year reign, lifts the curse and unites all in Christ. Atonement is the process of causing a transgression to be forgiven or pardoned, in this case, their unbelief in Him. Romans 11:25-26 KJV
  • Feast of Tabernacles (Booths) – 15 Tishri – Jesus’ birthdate, He dwelt (tabernacled in the Greek) with us, John 1:14 KJV

As to the 4-blood moon Jewish feast phenomenon, I’ve done a study and I was shocked. A Tetrad is a series of four. Some preachers say they must be “blood” moons. If that’s the case, then there will only be three in all of history. I will show them all, partial and near misses (within a day of the biblical feast day). The first set of eclipses to fall on these appointed days began as partial eclipses, not blood moons. The definition of a Blood Moon Tetrad is when  four blood moons all fall on the biblical feast days of Passover (14/15 Nisan) and Tabernacles (15 Tishri) consecutively. Remember, none of these count unless they fall on the 14th/15th of Nisan or 15th of Tishri. Notice too how close they are to important events. Yes, there was a beginning (I check from 1000 BC) and the first Tetrad was with all partial eclipses and fell on:

  • 04-11-80BC (15 Nisan)* 10-05-80BC (15 Tishri)*
  • 03-31-79BC (14 Nisan)* 09-14-79BC (14 Tishri)*

*Partial Eclipses

And in 80BC Rome defeats Maccabees but after fighting back in 78BC Alexander Jannaeus dies after extending the Maccabean Kingdom to the whole of Palestine. His wife became Queen of Israel (only the second in its history) named Salome Alexandra.

The next one was a triple-year event, still no blood moons:

  • 04-12-72BC (14 Nisan)* 10-07-72BC (15 Tishri)*
  • 04-02-71BC (14 Nisan)* 09-26-71BC (14 Tishri)*
  • 30-22-70BC (14 Nisan)* 09-15-70BC (14 Tishri)*

*Partial Eclipses

Queen Alexandra (Salome) died in ~69BC and Israel had its last 5 years of independence. Her death set off a chain of events and left two fighting for the seat on the throne. Agreeing to an arbiter, they called in Pompey who instead, in 63BC, took Jerusalem and he desecrated the temple. He put Hyrncanus as a puppet authority, but over the temple, which started the temple tax. In 55BC the governor of Syria was replaced by Antipater. This family had the real power and is the family of Herod. In ~53BC Antipater was made by Rome the de facto ruler of Jerusalem, he in turn appointed his son Herod ruler of Galilee and his other son Phasael ruler of Jerusalem.

  • 04-01-52BC (14 Nisan)* 09-26-52BC (15 Tishri)*
  • 03-22-51BC (14 Nisan)* 09-15-51BC (14 Tishri)*

*Partial Eclipses

The triple-year eclipses, but still not all blood moons. The white-moon eclipses are because they’re partial eclipses of the moon and not 100% in Earth’s shadow. Both 34BC eclipses were the first blood moons to fall on Passover and Feast of Tabernacles, 2 of the 4 of the phenomenon, with the other 2 as partial eclipses.

  • 04-13-34BC (15 Nisan) Blood Moon, 10-07-34BC (15 Tishri) Blood Moon
  • 04-01-33BC (15 Nisan)* 09-25-33BC (15 Tishri)*
  • 03-22-32BC (15 Nisan)* 09-14-32BC (14 Tishri – 1 hour shy of 15 Tishri)*

*Partial Eclipses

In 32BC Octavian defeated Mark Antony and Herod was unsure of his status, but won over Octavian and he was given the land owned by Cleopatra including Transjordan. He systematically murdered anyone from the Hyrcanus family including his wife Miamne. 31BC Caesar Augustus’ power increased by overcoming Cleopatra and Mark Antony and called himself “Son of God.” Also in 30BC an earthquake hit and 30K died.

  • 04-03-25BC (15 Nisan)* 09-27-25BC (15 Tishri)*
  • 03-24-24BC (15 Nisan)* 09-16-24BC (14 Tishri)*

*Partial Eclipses

In 23BC Herod began building up the Temple, and it happened to be the end of a shmitah.

The triple-year conjunction: (Jesus’ birth year) with Purim eclipse spoken of by Josephus when Herod killed the priests – he was dead by Passover 03-31-04BC.

  • 04-14-07BC (15 Nisan)* 10-08-07BC (15 Tishri)* – Jesus is born, the Light of the world in a partial eclipse!
  • 04-04-06BC (16 Nisan – one day off)* 09-27-6BC (15 Tishri)*
  • 03-23-05BC (15 Nisan) 09-15-5BC (14 Tishri) both very blood moon – right in the middle of the Earth’s shadow.
  • 03-13-04BC (14 Adar II)* Purim (Herod killed the priests and was dead by Passover)

*Partial Eclipses

  • 04-03-33 (14 Nisan)* 09-27-34 (14 Tishri)*
  • 03-23-34 (15 Nisan)* 09-16-34 (15 Tishri)*

*Partial Eclipses

While this would look like an eclipse fitting for the year of Jesus’ death, my study shows He died in 27AD according to Daniel’s prophecy. Even if Jesus was born in 4BC and if He had died in 33AD He would have been 36 years old. He was about thirty when He started His ministry, Luke 3:23, and John recorded only 3 more Passovers with Jesus dying on the third one, making Him 32 years old at the time of His death. However, Saul persecutes the Christians then converts and becomes Paul at this time.

  • 04-05-41 (16 Nisan – off by a day and the smallest eclipse of them all)* 09-28-41 (15 Tishri)*
  • 03-25-42 (15 Nisan)* 09-18-42 (15 Tishri)*

*Partial Eclipses

  • 04-04-60 (14 Nisan)*  09-28-60 (14 Tishri)*
  • 03-24-61 (15 Nisan)     09-18-61 (16 Tishri off by 12 hours) – In 62 Paul and James are executed.

To me a very significant year considering this next set because it’s the year the temple was destroyed (9 Av – 4 Aug 70 ) with unbelievable suffering of the Jews during this time. 25 July 71 the Roman army plowed under Jerusalem with salt (9 Av).

(2 total solar eclipses with 2 lunar eclipses on observable holidays)

  • 03-30-70 (29 Adar – last day of the biblical year – Solar eclipse*)
  • 04-14-70 (15 Nisan)* 10-08-70 (15 Tishri)*
  • 09-23-70 (29 Elul – last day of the civic year – total Solar eclipse with Venus and Mercury in conjunction)
  • 03-20-71 (29 Adar – total Solar eclipse last day of the biblical year)

*Partial Eclipses

In 79AD Vespasianus is succeeded by Tito and Mt. Vesuvius erupts burying Pompeii

  • 04-05-79 (14 Nisan) 09-29-79 (14 Tishri)
  • 03-24-80 (14 Nisan)* 09-18-80 (15 Tishri)*

The triple-year conjunction:

  • 04-15-97 (15 Nisan) 10-09-97 (15 Tishri)
  • 04-04-98 (14 Tishri)* 09-29-98 (15 Tishri)*
  • 03-25-99 (14 Nisan)* 09-18-99 (14 Tishri)*

*Partial Eclipses

100AD Bar Kochba rises up, is declared Messiah, and the Jewish calendar is changed to reflect the 4000 years from Creation falling on him instead of Jesus. Later he is killed in 135AD on 9 Av.

In 116AD the Jews were silenced in Cyrenaica, Egypt and Cyprus. Rome reaches it’s peak population.

  • 04-14-116 (14 Nisan) 10-09-116 (15 Tishri)*
  • 04-04-117 (15 Nisan)* 09-28-117 (15 Tishri)*

*Partial Eclipses

I cannot find anything about the Jews in 125 or 126AD, other than in 132AD the last push of Bar Kochba started and ended with his death in 135AD.

  • 04-05-125 (14 Nisan)* 09-30-125 (15 Tishri)* with a conjunction by the moon with Jupiter
  • 03-26-126 (14 Nisan) 09-19-126 (14 Tishri)

*Partial Eclipses

To date, this next set is the closest to a  Blood Moon Tetrad with 3 blood moons and the last one falling just 2 hours after sunset in Israel, making it 15 Tishri.

  • 04-05-144 (15 Nisan) 09-29-144 (15 Tishri)
  • 03-26-145 (15 Nisan)* 09-18-145 (15 Tishri)

  • 04-06-163 (15 Nisan) 09-30-163 (15 Tishri) – a plague occurs in Europe

*Partial Eclipse

Notice how much further apart they start to occur…

  • 04-09-795 (15 Nisan) 10-03-795 (15 Tishri)
  • 03-28-796 (14 Nisan) 09-21-796 (15 Tishri) – Charlemagne “Father of Europe” and “Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire”

This last set is 4 blood moons, but the third one is a day too soon falling on 14 Nisan.

  • 03-30-842 (15 Nisan) 09-23-842 (15 Tishri)
  • 03-19-843 (14 Nisan)  09-12-843 (14 Tishri) – Rome is sacked by the Muslims

This next set of dates is the very first official Blood-Moon Tetrad as the fourth full blood moon falls 4 hours after sunset, making it 15 Tishri.

  • 04-09-860 (15 Nisan) 10-03-860 (15 Tishri)
  • 03-30-861 (15 Nisan)  09-22-861 (15 Tishri) – Jews and Christians greatly persecuted by the Muslims

Our second official Blood-Moon Tetrad is next:

  • 04-02-1493 (15 Nisan) 09-25-1493 (14 Tishri) – short by 1/2 an hour, Israeli time)
  • 03-22-1494 (15 Nisan) 09/15/1494 (15 Tishri) – Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492 looking for a homeland for the Jews. As a result, America becomes a nation which is instrumental in bringing about the birth of Israel by a born again Christian, Harry S Truman!

The next set misses the official rating by twelve hours each:

  • 04-13-1949 (14 Nisan) 10-07-1949 (14 Tishri)
  • 04-02-1950 (15 Nisan) 09-26-1950 (15 Tishri) – Israel becomes a nation in 1948

The next set missed it by three hours each day.

  • 04-24-1967 (14 Nisan) 10-18-1967 (14 Tishri)
  • 04-13-1968 (15 Tishri) 10-06-1968 (14 Tishri) – Israel takes back Jerusalem in 1967

This next set too missed it on one day by three hours.

  • 04-15-2014 (15 Nisan) 10-08-2014 (14 Tishri missed it by 3 hours)
  • 04-04-2015 (15 Nisan) 09-28-2015 (15 Tishri)
  • 03-23-2016 (13 Adar II – almost Purim, missed it by 4 hours) Just like after Jesus’ birth

It won’t happen again for 568 years!

The third and last official Blood-Moon Tetrad.

  • 04-09-2582 (15 Nisan) 10-03-2582 (15 Tishri)
  • 03-29-2583 (15 Nisan) 09-22-2583 (15 Tishri)

The next set is the very last time it even comes close.

  • 04-20-2600 (15 Nisan) 10-14-2600 (15 Tishri)
  • 04-09-2601 (15 Nisan) 10-04-2601 (16 Tishri) off by a full day – the last of the four eclipses on Jewish Holidays… I tested until the year 2900.

The fact that there is a beginning and an end amazes me. What makes this upcoming event so special are the other dates of eclipses:

Total solar eclipses occur on these dates:

  • Aug. 1, 2008 (1st of Av)
  • July 22, 2009 (1st of Av)
  • July 11, 2010 (1st of Av)

The current seven year cycle began on Rosh Hashanah on September 30, 2008, and ends on Rosh Hashanah on September 13-14, 2015, the day of a partial solar eclipse.

In July, Israel and Palestinians started a 9-month peace bid (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/10212358/Isr…). July plus nine months is April, the first eclipse of the next blood-moon cycle. Time will tell.
