It
has been stated in the bible in Joel
2:14 “The
sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great
and the terrible day of the LORD come.” A
lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth and moon line up so the Earth’s shadow
falls on the moon, darkening it. On April 15, 2014, there was a total lunar
eclipse. It was the first of four consecutive total eclipses in a series; known
as a tetrad (the remaining three eclipses will take place on October 8, 2014,
April 4, 2015, and September 28, 2015). Blood
moons are set to appear in April 2014, on Passover, and then again in September
2014 during the Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot. The timing is the same for
2015 -- a total of four blood moons, all appearing on Jewish feast days. The bloody
red colour the moon takes on during an eclipse is caused by refraction of sunlight
by the Earth’s atmosphere. It is the same effect that you see when the
sun turns reddish-orange at sunset, only in this case the refracted sunlight
projects all the way to the moon.
Blood Moon lunar eclipses
have happened continuously throughout history, but a Blood Moon Tetrad is when
4 consecutive total lunar eclipses occur on a Jewish Holy Feast day.
There have only been 7 Blood Moon Tetrads between Jesus Christ's first
coming and 2013, and every time they happened it has been proven that
there was some significant event which impacted upon the Jewish people within a
year of the first or last eclipse of the tetrad. The last time that four blood
red moons occurred together was in 1967-1968, probably related to the recapture
of Jerusalem by Israel. The time that the tetrad occurred before this was
in 1949-1950, probably related to Israel becoming a nation. Before this
time, the last occurrence was 1493-1494, probably related to the expulsion of
the Jews from Spain. There are the dates of the solar eclipses associated
within the Lunar Triples and Lunar Tetrad. All dates are obtained from NASA eclipse website.
