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?

7 Highly Anticipated Events That Are Going To Happen By The End Of September

Is something huge going to happen? For quite some time now, individuals have been speculating about the events slated to occur in the second half of this year, for different reasons. For some, the biggest concern is the "not so covert" Jade Helm Military Exercises and the remarkable deployment of military vehicles and hardware that we have been seeing everywhere, throughout the US. For others, it's the arrival of the 4^th Blood Moon and the end of the Shemitah cycle.

Yet others are most worried about political "activities" in Washington D.C. as well as the United Nations. One can't deny that we are seeing an unprecedented culmination of monetary, political and spiritual "events" coming to a head, so to speak, in the second half of this year. So what does this mean? Is life as we know it about to change? Only time will tell. The following is a list of 7 noteable events that WILL happen before the end of September...

June 26, 2015 – The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 on Friday, June 26, 2015 that it is legal for all Americans, no matter their gender or sexual orientation, to marry the people they love. Many people believe that this historic decision will mark a turning point for the US.

July 15th to September 15th – The much anticipated "military training" exercise known as "Jade Helm" will commence on the fifteenth of July and run for two full months, through September 15th. Over 1,000 armed, military personnel will take part in this training. The rundown of states slated to be included in these drills includes: Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, California, Mississippi and Florida.

May 28th – Reuters reported on May 28th that nations in the European Union were being given a two month due date to adopt "bail-in" legislation. Any country that does not have "bail-in" set up at that point will be facing legal consequence from the European Commission. Some believe this is an indication that the EU "elites" may be anticipating yet another financial crisis.

September 13th – This is Elul 29 on the Biblical "Hebrew" Calendar – this is also the last day of the current Shemitah year. Many are concerned or at least keeping a watchful eye on this day considering the fact that we've already witnessed two enormous market crashes during the previous two Shemitah cycles (to the day)! The first was on September 17, 2001 (which was Elul 29 on the Hebrew Calendar) and a week after 9/11. That day the Dow Jones dropped 684 points. Exactly 7 years later, to the day (on the Hebrew Calendar, Elul 29), September 29, 2008, the Dow Jones fell 777 points and to this day remains the largest, one day crash, of all time.

We are roughly one month away from the end of this current Shemitah cycle. As Jonathan Cahn has pointed out in his book on the Shemitah, the "crash" or fall may occur just prior to the end of the cycle or and occasionally just after the cycle ends. That being said, the prior two market crashes were spot on. Nevertheless, it would be prudent for all to pay attention to this date.

September 15th – The 70th session of the UN General Assembly starts on this date. One of the "Hot Topic" issues being presented this year is a resolution which would result in a formal recognition, by the UN Security Council, of a Palestinian State. Traditionally, the US has blocked any such resolution, however Barack Obama has indicated that may not be the case this session.

September 25th to September 27th – The United Nations will be launching a new "sustainable development agenda" for the entire planet. This has been dubbed "Agenda 21 on steroids". However, unlike Agenda 21, this "new agenda" is not JUST about the environment. It will also encompass economic, agricultural, educational and gender equality "issues". This September 25th, Pope Francis will attend, and he will be a key speaker at the conference.

September 28th – This will be when the last, or 4th Blood Moon, of the 2014/2015 Blood Moon Tetrad Appears. Moreover, this last Blood Moon will fall precisely on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Succoth). This last Blood Moon will also be a supermoon (much larger than normal in appearance) and be visible over the city of Jerusalem!

What do these seemingly rare and/or supernatural events signify? It's difficult to say with any certainty. At times such as this, one must rely on his or her faith as a compass and a grounding force.
