Feast Day Eclipses in 2014-2015 What Do They mean? On the day God created the sun and the moon, He declared their multifold purpose. Let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and for years. But did you notice God,s other stated purpose for the sun and the moon? Let the be for signs. The Hebrew word for sign Owth, means an Omen or Warning, apparently, God also planned to use the luminaries as a means to give advance notice of something. But would the Lord use the sun and the moon whose appearance is relatively static as an omen, or sign? Something about their look look would have to be altered to the degree that intended audience. Those viewing from earth would take notice. Can you guess which naturally occuring phenomenon might accomplish this aim? If you guessed The Eclipse Youd be correct. Its mind blogging to consider that the total Lunar Eclipse is only possible for an unlikely ratio of size and distance. The suns distance from earth is roughly 400 times that of the moons distance from the earth. Sun to Earth (93,000,000 MILES) and Moon to Earth (239,000 MILES). Additionally, the Suns diameters is roughly 400 times that of the Moons diameter. (Suns Diameter = 865,000 MILES) , (Moons Diameter = 2,160 MILES) this ratio creates the illusion of equal size from our earthly vantage point, thus allowing the moon to effectively blot out the sun. What are the odds? The moon can also go into eclipse. Our planets only natural satellite take on a deep reddish tone as it passes through the earths shadow, escaping the direct light of the sun. This is commonly referred to as blood moon Contrary to what some would have you believe, the confluence of factors that result in a eclipse is not accidental, but designed. Designed as we have just learned to be employed as signs or omens. For those not yet sold with the idea of Eclipses as signs from God please consider the following Bible verses: The sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light. - Mark 13:24, and behold there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackloth of hair and the moon became like blood. Rev 6:12 _____________________________________________________________________ |Similar descriptions of solar and lunar eclipses can be found in Isaiah 13:9-|10,24:23; Acts 2:20,21; Matthew 24:29-31; Luke 21:25-27, and Joel 3:1-5. |Significantly, each of these verses speaks of the coming day of the Lord. |____________________________________________________________________ If therefore seems clear given the sheer number verses like these that God plans on using eclipses to signal the return of Jesus Christ. Why, you ask, is He going to do this? To put it simply, He is coming. As any student of the Bible will attest, the Lord always gives advance notice before executing His plans. Theres only one problem. How can one know which eclipses are Gods signs in other words, how might one distinguish the end times eclipses mentioned in the Bible from ordinary eclipses that occur each year? in seeking an answer to this all important question, let us begin by starting what we do know. The Lords eclipses will occur at very specifically appointed times how do we know these? Because we are much told as much in Genesis: and let them be for signs and for seasons Please note, the Hebrew word translated season, moed, literally means an appointed time. According to the Bible, Gods appointed times are none other than the feast days described in Leviticus. The Lords feast were set (Seth) or appointed on which the Israelites practiced rituals tat foreshadowed future events namely the coming(s) of Messiah. And so, to put all we have just learned in a nut shell: It would appear that God has planned from the very beginning to use solar and lunar signs (eclipses) in conjunction with his appointed times (feast days) to signal the coming of Christ at the end of age. With this in mind, I want to share some information that may change the way you think about, Well, everything. First a brief disclaimer: This message is not about setting a date for the return of Jesus Christ. It is however, about identifying a specific time frame that warrants our close attention. That said, in regard to eclipses as signs, we find that by looking back through history (using NASA data) one can identify some very interesting eclipse activity. We speak specifically of a number of lunar tetrads (rare patterns of four consecutive lunar eclipses) occuring on Gods feast days in particular years. These occurences are so rare that there only have only been seven(7) since the time of Christ our Lord. It is the last (3) of these, however, I wish to direct your attention to, as each has occured in conjunction with major events surrounding Gods covenant nation, Israel. These three(3) feast day tetrads from the earliest to the most recent are as follows: There was a feast-day lunar tetrad in 1493-94, right after the infamous expulsion of the Jews from Spain. Significantly, this expulsion was followed by a wave of jewish repatriation to the land of Israel. There was a feast day lunar tetrad in 1949-50, right after Israels War of independence and miraculous rebirth as a Nation. Lastly, there was a feast day lunar tetrad in 1967-68, right after Israel fought the six day War and regained control of Jerusalem for the first time in nearly two thousand years(2000). Again, it cannot be overemphasized that according to scripture, Israel is the primary focus of God in the last days. For this season its miraculous rebirth as a Nation in 1948, as well as the subsequent Jewish recapture of Jerusalem in 1967, qualify as the most prophetically significant events i nearly two(2) millennia. Why are these particular events so important? Because the return of Israel in the last days is prophesied through out the Bible (see Deuteronomy 30, Isaiah 11, 66, Amos 9, Ezek 38, Jer 30, and others.) And also because Mark tells us that the generation that sees this return will be the final generation. (Mark 13:28-30) This realization brings focus back to the present and, for reasons we are about to reveal, the near future. According to NASA data referenced earlier, there will be one more feast day lunar tetrad in 2014-2015 This will be the eight such tetrad since the time of Christ. Also, this will be the last such lunar occurances for nearly six hundred(600) years. Now, assuming these feast day tetrads are indeed signs from God and considering the fact that there will not be another for may generation, the ultimate question is begged. What could the tetrad in 2014-15 be signaling? Before we answer this question, let us consider some additional relevant data. According to the Bible, the moon is a faithful witness in the sky (Psalm 89:37) Also, according to Scipture, the truth of any matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. (Matthew 18:16) With this additional insight, its interesting to speculate: Could the three aforementioned lunar tetrads be Gods faithful witness intended to be establish a matter concerning Israel and the end times thus directing our attention to a culminating tetrad 2014-15? Makes perfect sense when you think about it, doesnt it? Speaking of 2015, we should note that there will also be some interesting solar eclipse activity occuring at this time. Remember tat Bibles many declaration that I addition to the Moon being turned to blood, the Sun would be Turned into darkness? The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come. (Joel 2:31) The first notable solar eclipse in 2015 occurs on Nissan 1. significantly Nissan 1 is the first day of the Jewish Biblical calendar (A.K.A. Gods calendar) and marks the beginning of the seventh(7th) month feast cycle. The second notable eclipse, a partial solar eclipse occurs on the Feast of Trumpets, or Tishrei 1, of 2015. This feast-of-trumpets eclipse is notable for one reason: According to both Jewish and Christian beliefs, the Feast of Trumpets foreshadows the future resurrection of the dead. In light of the intriguing placement of this solar sign this next bit of Bible symbology is really interesting. According to Scripture, the Sun can symbolize the Lord; the Lord God is a sun (Psalm 84:11) in Psalm 19 the Sun is even likened to a bridegroom coming out of his chamber. (Psalm 19:4,5) In the Bible, the Bridegroom represents Christ coming for His Bride (the Church) at the end of the age. (Matthew 25, Joel 2) With this symbology in mind, one begins to wonder why the upcoming feast day lunar tetrad unlike those that preceeded it is accompanied by such an intriguing array of solar activity. Do these solar eclipses reveal something specific about what, or perhaps who maybe coming at this time? In considering this ultimate question, its worth keeping mind that, according to NASA, There will be no similar pattern of solar and lunar eclipses occuring on Gods feast days, or appointed times, for at least a thousand years. In closing. The Bible state no less than nine times that the day of the Day of the Lord will be heralded by solar and lunar eclipses. As we learned in this message, these eclipses are the same signs spoken of in Genesis 1:14. We also learned that these signs will not occur randomly, but at Gods chosen, or appointed, times a.k.a His feast days. The three(3) most recent feast day lunar tetrads (1493-94, 1949-50, and 1967-68) each having occured in tandem with landmark events surrounding Israels prophesied rebirth are certainly not random. They are incredible as it may seem signs from God. And now we look forward to one last feast day tetrad in 2014-2015 though the two lunar tetrads of 2014s has already passed and its meanings are fulfilled, and now moving forward to 2015s upcoming events or the coming(s) of the Yeshuwa Messiah. Yet there is something unique about this particular lunar tetrad. It is accompanied by solar eclipses: one on the Jewish New Year and another on the feast day that traditionally foreshadows the end-times resurrection of the dead. Jesus is returing very soon. Are you ready? _____________________________________________________________________ Isaiah 13:9-10,24:23 see how the day of Yahweh comes: it is a cruel day coming with wrath and fierce anger it will make the earth desolate; it will destroy sinners with it. The stars and constellations at night will send forth no light, the moon will not shine; in the morning sun will be dark as it rises. The moon will be confounded and the sun ashamed, when Yahweh Sabbath reigns on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and let His glory be shown to His elders. Acts 2:20,21 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Matthew 24:29-31 Immediately after the distress of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. Luke 21:25-27 There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Joel 3:1-5 In the last days I will pour out my Spirit on every mortal. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even upon my servants and maidens, I will pour out my Spirit on that day. I will show wonders in the heavens, and on the earth fire and columns of smoke. The sun will be darken and the moon turn to blood at the approach of the great and dreadful day of God. Then all who call upon the name of Yahweh will be saved. PS. To make it clear, this things are all being fulfilled and we are living in the last days. God gave me a message 6 or 7 months ago with a saying; There is no much time left. If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow Me. -Mt 16:24 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. -Mt 10:38 So therefore whatever we are doing right now which is unfruitful and displeasing to God may we stop whatever it is REPENT for the Kingdom of GOD is at hand, believe the good Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, accept Him today as your personal savior. May God bless you.Amen.
