God Is Trying To Get Our Attention...Are We Listening?

“And God said: ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years.” (Genesis 1:14)

One of the most talked about and highly anticipated events of this past year was the occurrence of the Blood Moon Tetrad.  These "Blood Moons", as they are referred to, are actually lunar eclipses which just happen to fall exactly on the first and seventh feast days of the Lord, which are Passover and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) respectively.  

Lunar eclipses are not in and of themselves a rare event. On average, a total lunar eclipse can be seen from any given location, every 2.5 years.  That being said, seeing just two total lunar eclipses (Blood Moons) in one year is that much more rare or significant.  Take that a step further and the Blood Moon Tetrad, which is four Blood Moons appearing over a one and a half year period is very, very rare.  What sets the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad, and only 8 others, apart is the additional fact that the four eclipses appear on biblically significant days.  In Judaism these feast days are considered High Holy Days.  Since Messiah's first coming, there have only been 9 instances in which the world witnessed four Blood Moons, back to back, over a one and a half year period, where they fell on the Lord's feast days.

So what's the big deal about "Blood Moons" appearing on Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot)?  Well, if we look at when this has happened in the past we see that it's a VERY big deal...for the nation of Israel:

• 1492 - The Spanish Inquisition - Spain expelled the Jews which lead to Christopher Columbus' discovery of America (a refuge for the Jewish people).
• 1948 - 1948 was the year the State of Israel was founded, the first Jewish commonwealth in 2,000 years and the miraculous return to their Biblical inheritance. That same year the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, the earliest Biblical manuscripts to be unearthed.
• 1967 - 1967 was the year of the 6 Day War when Israel defended herself against the attack of 5 Arab nations, liberating Jerusalem and the Biblical lands of Judea and Samaria. Against ominous military challenges, the Jewish State greatly enlarged her small borders.

These three prophetic events occurred during Blood Moon Tetrads which began in tragedy but ended in victory or triumph for the Jewish people!  

What's more astounding about this particular tetrad is that midway between the four Blood Moons, on Friday, March 20,2015,  the day of the Spring Equinox which coincides with the beginning of the Hebrew month of Nisan, the first month in the Biblical calendar year, there was a total eclipse of the sun for two minutes over the North Pole, a solar occurrence that has never happened before in human history.  The year 2015, however is unique in that the Vernal Equinox, or first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, the day that days and nights are of equal length everywhere on earth, occurred on that very same day!  A Total Solar Eclipse at the North Pole on the first day of Spring has a likelihood of once every 100,000 years. 

“The concurrence and rarity of this natural event, together with the times in which we live, indicates the finger of God,” said Gidon Ariel, an Israeli Orthodox Jew and co-founder of Root Source. A total solar eclipse at the North Pole on the first day of spring occurs once every 100,000 years. For it to occur on the first day of the first month of the Biblical calendar year is, however, entirely unprecedented since this is only the year 5775 according to Jewish tradition, meaning that there has never been such a solar occurrence in human history. 

I think, considering all these facts, it's safe to assume that God is trying to get our attention.  Blood Moons and a "blackened sun" are mentioned in scripture as things to look out for in End Times.  As John Hagee says, "Something's About To Change" and I have to agree.  Something very significant is coming, not only to the nation of Israel but I believe to rest of the world as well.  Are you ready?
