| 1504 Blood Moon (Public Domain) |
Wikipedia explains that during a lunar eclipse, “sunlight reaching the Moon must pass through a long and dense layer of the Earth’s atmosphere.”
The shorter wavelengths of this sunlight are especially scattered by the atmospheric molecules they encounter; therefore, the longer wavelengths begin to predominate.
The resulting light appears to be red, thus accounting for the term “blood moon.”
Pastor John Hagee, a televangelist and best-selling author, emphasizes this passage from Acts 2:19-20: And I will show
wonders in Heaven above and in the Earth beneath, the
sun shall be turned into
darkness and the moon
into blood before the coming of the great
and awesome day of the Lord.
The fact that four blood moons are set to occur, each on a significant biblical holiday, has made Pastor Hagee sit up and take notice. These lunar eclipses will coincide with the following dates: April 15, 2014 (during Passover); October 8, 2014 (during the Feast of Tabernacles); April 4, 2015 (again during Passover); and September 28, 2015 (again during the Feast of Tabernacles).
Other tetrads (series of four lunar eclipses) have occurred “while the Jews were being expelled from Spain… soon
after the state of Israel was founded… [and] during the Six-Day War between Arabs and Israelis.”
Could this upcoming tetrad be a sign of the end times? Hagee
certainly thinks so…
