Notes

The Blood Moon Prophecy
The Blood Moon prophecy popped up in Christian circles during the last four years. The four consecutive full moons in 2014 and 2015 coincided with a supposedly prophetic period, which many believe was a sign of things to come. While some Christians believe in the upcoming judgment, others doubt its validity.

Total lunar eclipse

The blood moon prophecy is a recurring phenomenon in the sky. It will happen four times in a row this year and next year. According to some religious leaders, the blood moon is a sign of troubled times. Some believe it will be a sign of the end of the world. Other experts have dismissed the fanciful predictions as nonsense.

The moon will appear reddish because the Earth's atmosphere bends light into different wavelengths. The Earth's atmosphere is primarily made up of dust, which prevents shorter wavelengths of light from reaching the Moon.

Mesopotamian belief

The ancient Mesopotamian people were very observant about lunar eclipses, and the Blood Moon was no exception. They thought the moon was ill and wanted to eat the king's head, so they appointed surrogate kings during the eclipse. Some tribes also believed the sun and moon were having an uneasy dispute, and the moon was sick.

The Mesopotamian pantheon was relatively limited, and demons were mostly confined to rituals and incantations. They also attacked humans by infecting them with disease, and were viewed as winds and storms. The classical view of the universe allowed people to seek redress against these creatures before Utu, and various rituals were used to seek judgment against them.

Biblical prophecy

The Biblical prophecy of the Blood Moon refers to the final days of mankind when the moon will turn red like blood. The Bible states that this will happen before the great day of the Lord, but it is unclear whether it will actually happen. Several prophets mention the blood moon, including Joel, who prophesied of a darkened moon. Jesus also mentions it in Matthew 24.

Some Christians believe the blood moon prophecies are real and that the blood moon tetrad will mark the beginning of the end times. The blood moon tetrad started in April 2014, and the last blood moon will occur on September 27-28, 2015.

Christian interpretation

A recent report by CBN News has focused attention on the Blood Moon prophecy. Several Christians believe the blood moons are signs of the end times. The Bible specifically mentions these lunar eclipses as a sign of the End Times. The Christian interpretation is that the blood red moons are signs of the Second Coming.

Although the Bible does not explicitly say that the moon will turn blood before the day of the Lord, it does warn the servants of God to be on guard. Luke 21:36 warns that something will happen to start the great tribulation that leads to the second coming of Jesus. The Blood Moon is just one of many signs that can signal the end times, and Christians should be vigilant.

Sign of the end of times

According to the Bible, this week's Blood Moon eclipse is a sign of the end times. This is the first total lunar eclipse in two years, and many Christians are taking this event as a warning from God. Bible prophecies of Blood Moons have been around for thousands of years, and the Old and New Testaments talk about the Moon turning blood red during the final days of mankind.

According to Christian minister John Hagee, the blood moons are a sign from God. However, his claims were quickly disproved by scientists. Hagee further claimed that the blood moons would fall on Jewish holidays and significant events in Jewish history. While this is not true, the timing of these eclipses could signal a broader event that could cause great suffering.
