BLOOD MOON TETRAD
2014 - 2015 Jewish Holiday Eclipses

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ) defines the occurrence of 4 consecutive total lunar eclipses as a Tetrad. In the years 2014 - 2015 a rare Tetrad sequence will occur on the Jewish Holidays of Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. In addition to the Tetrad occurrence, 2 total solar eclipses will complement the 4 lunar eclipses on the Jewish New Year and the Feast of Trumpets.

“And I will show wonders in the Heavens….., The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood
BEFORE the great and terrible Day of the Lord come.” (Joel 2:30,31)

Our Lord and Creator has planned from the very beginning to use SIGNS in the Heaven as “harbingers” to GRAB our ATTENTION that something BIG and MIGHTY is about to happen...In Genesis 1:14, God says “Let there be light in the Heavens to divide the day from the night and let them be for “SIGNS and for SEASONS.”

The Hebrew word for SIGN is “owth,” meaning a signal, a warning, an omen is coming. The Hebrew word for SEASON is “moade” meaning a divinely appointed time, a holy convocation (Leviticus 23:4).

The first of the Blood Moon Tetrad occurs April 15, 2014.  The historical precedence of events from the past 7 TETRADS is an already unequivocally established benchmark for the past 2,000 years since the times of Jesus...several books have been written and videos produced trying to explain the significance of the coming Blood Moon Triad - the link below provides the best documentary of historical Blood Moons and TETRADS I have seen, and will walk you through the 7 prior Blood Moon Tetrads, and the divine events which were foreshadowed by these SIGNS for those SEASONS.  In the 2014 - 2015 Tetrad, the world will never again see such a magnificent PERFECTLY SYNCHRONIZED and ORDERLY ALIGNMENT of Heavenly SIGNS. This Cosmic Countdown so divinely fashioned by our Creator most assuredly tells us that He is literally screaming at us that we are approaching the “EDGE of (the Church Age) Time.”...You will discover that the coming Biblical Blood Moon Tetrad is astoundingly Unprecedented and Unique.  Watch the video above and go through the website linked below, and its graphs, explaining the prior 7 Blood Moon Tetrads, AND then the unique order of the coming 8th Blood Moon Tetrad.  You will be blown away with the details provided for your consideration, as we enter the 2014 - 2015 Blood Moon Tetrad...there are no more Biblical BLOOD MOONS for another 600 years!  This is a pivotal moment in human history. This information begs the question what should we do now? Well, to start with, put away our complacency and WAKE UP!  “You know the saying, ‘Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow; red sky in the morning means foul weather all day.’ You know how to interpret the weather signs in the sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the signs of the times!” Matthew 16:2,3 ...further suggested “what should Christian’s do” is provided by the author of the website linked below.

My further Note:  The number 8 in the Bible represents a new beginning, meaning a new order or creation, and man's true 'born again' event when he is resurrected from the dead into eternal life...http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/8.html  This 8th Blood Moon Tetrad may or may not herald the advent of the return of Christ for the church and the beginning of the Tribulation, at some time thereafter, nevertheless, based on historically documented facts, it certainly appears it will be a harbinger to significant events occurring in the epicenter (prophetic wars) and possibly the building of the Third Temple...we will Watch, Pray and Wait to see what else... “And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight” 2 Peter 3:14 ...”Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.  Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.” I Thessalonians 5:12-22

Additional Comments:

A growing number of Bible prophecy researchers believe something very serious will take place between 2014 and 2015 which impacts Israel and the world.  This is due, in part, to the history surrounding these tetrads, specifically when they occur in conjunction with Jewish Feasts.  As noted in the information below, there were significant events which directly impacted (1) the Jewish people and (2) the geopolitical climate surrounding the Jewish people, all within a year of the first or last eclipses of the tetrads. 

1.  162-163 AD

Occurred on the Jewish Passover and Feast of Tabernacles; coincided at the height of the worst persecution of Jews and Christians in the history of the Roman Empire.  Thousands were martyred in Rome's arenas.  Rome was suddenly flooded by the Tiberas River in the spring of 162 AD, leading to severe famine and a plague that killed 1/3 of the Roman Empire's population.  Prophetic significance:  Jews remain scattered.

2.  795-796 AD

Occurred on the Jewish Passover and Yom Kippur; coincided with King Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire establishing a buffer zone between France and Spain which halted Islamic invasions into Western Europe.   This was a key turning point in spread of Christianity in Europe and stability of Jews in the region.  Prophetic significance:  Jews remain scattered.

3.  842-843 AD

Occurred on the Jewish Passover and Yom Kippur; coincided with the break-up of the Carolingian Empire in Europe, weakening the position of Jews in Europe and setting the stage for their future persecution.  This also led to Rome being sacked and the Vatican being looted by Islamic armies.  Prophetic significance:  Jews remain scattered.

4.  860-861 AD

Occurred on the Jewish Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles; coincided with the Greeks of the Byzantine Empire permanently stopping the Islamic invasion of Eastern Europe.  This kept Islam confined to Asia Minor and the Middle East, allowing the continued spread of Christianity in Europe, thus allowing Jews to live in relatively security.   Prophetic significance:  Jews remain scattered.

5.  1493-1494 AD

Occurred on the Jewish Passover and the Feast of Trumpets; coincided with the Spanish Inquisition when the King of Spain ordered all Jews to leave the country.   The Jews had settled in the region about 200 AD and thus Spain became a second Jewish homeland.  This also coincided with Christopher Columbus' discovering of America, which is home today for more than 5 million Jews outside Israel.  Prophetic significance:  Jews remain scattered.

6.  1949-1950 AD

Occurred on the Jewish Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles; coincided with (1) the rebirth of Israel as an independent nation on May 14, 1948, (2) the winning of the Israeli War for Independence and the first official permanent government on January 25th, 1949, and (3) the Knesset passing the "Law of Return" on July 5, 1950 which gave Jews the right to settle in Israel and obtain citizenship .   Prophetic significance:  Jews regathered, Israel a nation.

7.  1967-1968 AD

Occurred on the Jewish Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles; coincided with the "6-Day War" of June 5-10, 1967 with Israel retaking of Jerusalem and capturing critical portions of land including  Judea, Samaria, the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank and the Golan Heights.  Prophetic significance:  Jews regathered, Israel a nation, Jerusalem regained.

8.  2014-2015 AD

Occurs on the Jewish Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles.  Potential Prophetic significance:  War with Syria (Isaiah 17) or Iran (Jeremiah 49)? Psalm 83 war?  A peace treaty with the Arab nations? An announcement that the Temple will be rebuilt? the Rapture of the Church?? see 2015 - Awesome Signs, Wonders & Insights

Postscript:

Leviticus 23 is the single chapter in the Bible where the Lord revealed the nature and timing of the seven annual Feasts.  The Jews believe the Feasts are prophetic and reveal great truth about the plans and counsel of the God of Israel.  Paul said in Colossians 2:16-17 that the Jewish Feasts and celebrations were a shadow of the things to come through Jesus Christ.  Briefly described below are the Feasts and their relationship to Christians.  The Feasts are divided between spring and fall.  Four are in the spring, three are in the fall.

Spring:

1.  Passover (Pesach) – Nisan (first month of the Hebrew calendar, March–April on the Gregorian calendar; pictures the death of Jesus Christ).  Prophetic significance: Fulfilled

2.  Unleavened Bread (Chag Hamotzi) – Nisan (first month of the Hebrew calendar, March–April on the Gregorian calendar; pictures the burial of Jesus Christ) Prophetic significance: Fulfilled

3.  First Fruits (Yom habikkurim) – Nisan (first month of the Hebrew calendar, April–May on the Gregorian calendar; pictures the resurrection of Christ) Prophetic significance: Fulfilled

4.  Pentecost (Shavu'ot) – Sivan (third month of the Hebrew calendar, May–June on the Gregorian calendar; pictures the descent of the Holy Spirit & the birth of the Church) Prophetic significance: Fulfilled

Fall:

5.  Trumpets (Yom Teru'ah & Rosh Hashanah) – Tishri (seventh month of the Hebrew calendar, September–October on the Gregorian calendar; pictures the rapture of the Church) Prophetic significance: To Come
Also see THE RAPTURE on The Feast of ROSH HASHANAH http://www.theignorantfishermen.com/2011/09/rapture-on-rosh-hashana.html

6.  Atonement (Yom Kippur) – Tishri (seventh month of the Hebrew calendar, September–October on the Gregorian calendar; pictures the Second Coming of Jesus Christ) Prophetic significance: To Come

7.  Tabernacles (Sukkot) – Tishri (seventh month of the Hebrew calendar, September–October on the Gregorian calendar; pictures the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ) Prophetic significance: To Come

Christians should not be surprised by upcoming world events, perhaps major events, with Israel at the center of it all, particularly in the coming months or next couple of years.  We can view these events as further evidence that we are truly living in the last days, perhaps the very last of days!

One Last Thing: 

It is more than interesting to consider points A - I below concerning the last blood moon (9/28/2015) of this tetrad - an ABSOLUTE statistical impossibility, apart from God’s divinely planned design!

A.    The occurrence of a perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system - a “Super moon”
B.    …where the Super Moon is also a Blood Moon
C.    …and conditions A & B occur on one of God’s appointed Holy Days
D.    …and conditions A, B & C occur in the sequence of a Tetrad, all occurring on God’s appointed
        Holy Days - the 8th such Tetrad all occurring on Holy Days since Christ (The number 8 in the
        Bible represents a new beginning, meaning a new order or creation, and man's true 'born
        again' event when he is resurrected from the dead into eternal life)
E.     ...and the 2014-2015 Tetrad (4) of the lunar Blood Moon eclipses coincides with 3 sets of
        Perigee Lunar cycles of 3 consecutive Super Moons which culminates with the September 28th
        Super Blood Moon (an unprecedented occurrence!)
F.    …and the Super Blood Moon is viewable from Jerusalem (not all blood moon are)
G.    …and all the conditions above occur in a Shmita year
H.    ...and all the conditions above complete at the start of a Jubilee Year
I.      ...and this Years Jubilee is the 120th since the beginning of creation - "...the Lord said, My Spirit shall not forever dwell and strive with man, for he also is flesh; but his days shall yet be 120 [Jubilee] years." Genesis 6:3

(A SUPER BLOOD MOON STARTING A SUPER SHMITA YEAR) Jubilee years were/are after every 7 Shmita years - Shmita years are every 6 years with the 7th being a Shmita, so 7-yrs X 7-yrs = 49-yrs with the 50th being the Super Shmita or Jubilee year.  Note #1: the Jubilee year is only celebrated when the majority of Jewish people live in the land of Israel - this has now been fulfilled! ...Note #2:  Jubilee means a time of celebration which begins with a “trumpet blast” throughout the land - the year of Jubilee is also prophetic of both redemption (Rapture) and judgment (Tribulation).  The next Jubilee year starts Elul 29, starting the Jewish year 5777, which also represents the eve of the Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah at sundown September of 2016 (the beginning of the 120th Jubilee being Rosh Hashanah 2015/16 (5775/76)..here we have a double trumpet blast (both having the meaning of redemption) starting with the beginning blast of the Jubilee and ending with the Tekiah ha-Gadol, the final great long blast of Yom Teru'ah - could 1 Corinthians 15:52 be a possibility? ...Note #3: There will have been 40 complete Jubilee cycles following Christ’s death.  The typology of 40 is interesting as it relates to the relationship between "forty" and the fulfillment of promises.  Many “40” typology is displayed in the Bible, with the most significant type of all in the forty years of wilderness wandering by the children of Israel leading up to the possession of the temporal land of promise.  To be more specific, the exodus out of Egypt and into the promised land by the children of Israel under Moses is a direct shadow of the exodus of the New Testament generation from the cross to the entrance into the eternal land of rest, our heavenly home.  In Joshua chapter 6, with the destruction of Jericho at the end of the FORTY year exodus. SEVEN priests, with the Ark of God in the midst, marched with seven trumpets around the wall of Jericho for 6 days. ON the SEVENTH DAY they marched around SEVEN TIMES. At the close of the march, the trumpets were blown, the people shouted, and God caused the walls of Jericho to collapse. The victory was COMPLETE. The events of Jericho offered a graphic image and actual prophecy of events at the CLOSE of the Jewish age, FORTY years after Pentecost...in additional to the “40” type or shadow, the Trumpet blast may also be a shadow of the Last Trump, AND the Seven Priests, Seventh Day and Seven Times [777], could shadow the year 5777, AND the close of the Jewish age a foreshadow of the close of the Church age.  Could these types and shadows be a foreshadow of the 40 Jubilee cycles, close of the Church age, and the sounding of the trumpet where the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed, redeemed and enter the promised land, Heaven, the Kingdom of God and the Eternal State?..."Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the (which) DAY or the (which) HOUR” Matthew 25:13

The Super Blood Moon will fall on the first day of Sukkot September 28, 2015, fifteen days after Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah...”IF” the believing church is gone, the next significant event would be the Tribulation or The Time Of Jacob's Trouble - the Bible says that God will once again focus on the Jews and Israel during this period of judgment through which they must pass as a "refining process" to fit them to again be God's chosen people.  Remember that this last blood moon, and as a Super Moon, is the only one of the tetrad that will be seen from Jerusalem. “IF” the church were raptured prior to the last tetrad moon, A Super Blood Moon, could be a Super Sign to the Jews and all of Israel [coupled with the knowledge of millions raptured] to awaken them, that Jesus is their Messiah...the same affect and message that is spoken about in the Battle of Gog & Magog [which prophetically could also occur around or shortly after this time] ...“So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward...And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 39:22,29.  This is not meant to try and set an absolute date for the Rapture, but stir everyone to contemplate how close the time may be to our redemption, and point out some very interesting information that may be worth further study and consideration.

See Lu Vega’s paper (and linked chart) “The Super Blood Moon” End of the Shmita and Coming World Economic Reset - The Feast of Tabernacles & the 8th Day Assembly 2015, which provides some similar thoughts and additional information to this point...also see Blood Moons, Lunar Tetrad & The Jubilee Year and read Rabbi Jonathan Cahn’s just released book “The Mystery of the Shemitah.”  Additionally, see Blood Moon The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand; Paul Grevas “End Time Blood Moon WINDOW” and Mark Blitz latest interview “End of Age” - all of the above is certainly critical information “to consider” as our redemption draws near!

February 10, 2015 UPDATE

The following is a very recent study by Lu Vega THE SUPER MOON PATTERNS CONVERGENCE OF LUNAR PERIGEE CYCLES A Coming Prophetic Synchronization of Time The study suggests that the March 19, 2011 Perigee Moon was the start of a prophetic cosmic sign signaling a nearly 7 year cycle pattern of Super Moons 13 months apart that will culminate in some event of Biblical proportions on September 28, 2015. What this means remains to be seen.  A consolidate recap is below:

Super Moons are Lunar Perigees or Perigee Moons. On average there can be 4 to 6 such Super Moons occurring in a given year. In theory, the Lunar Perigee cycle patterns are consistent and predictable, they usually occur in pairs. The study shows that what is amazing and fantastic is that the period of the 2014-2015 Tetrad (4) of the lunar Blood Moon eclipses also coincides with 3 sets of Perigee Lunar cycles of 3 consecutive Super Moons, i.e., Triads (3). The study suggests that these Super Moon Triads are unprecedented and perhaps are a factor in the cosmic convergence of prophetic time.

This unique triple Triad pattern does not ever occur in the years prior or after the 2014-15 Tetrad time-frame. The point is that to have 3 Perigee Moons or Super Moons in a row is rare, but 3 sets in a row is amazing. There is 1 Triad in 2014 and 2 Triads in 2015 for a total of 6 Super Moons for 2015 in particular. For 2015, there are 3 New Moons at the beginning of the year and 3 Full Moons toward the end of the year. The study suggests that perhaps these triple Triads of Super Moons are validating prophetically the Tetrad that coincidentally converge at a single point in time that ends both the Tetrad and the triple Triad of Moon Perigees.

This study suggests that the triple Super Moon Triads that span the 2014-15 years and corresponds to the Tetrad converge on one specific date, that of September 28, 2015. Many believe this will be a focal point of Biblical proportions.  This is unprecedented in the whole decade as all other Super Moons, nominal and true occur only in pairs. What is spectacular is that the September Super Moon has some very special characteristics happening at the same time that could very well be Biblically prophetic. Thus it does appear that the convergence of the Super Moons and Blood Moons will be some sort of prophetic fulcrum point where history will be bench-marked from that time forward.

To reiterate, this study suggests that the March 19, 2011 Perigee Moon was the start of a prophetic cosmic sign signaling a nearly 7 year cycle pattern of Super Moons 13 months apart that will culminate in some event of Biblical proportions on September 28, 2015. What this mean remains to be seen. Of note, one other unique attribute about 2018 and lunar cycle is that on July 27, 2018 there is a Blood Moon that is the center of a Triad of Blood Moons that is nearly 7 years apart from the 2011 July Central Blood Moon. Prophetically, 2011 and 2018 are tied together in more ways than one. This cosmic pattern could allude to a confirmation of sorts that the Tribulation period is in fact the 7-year week of years as foretold by the Prophet Daniel.  [not to be confused, this is NOT saying or suggesting the Tribulation started in 2011]

The study has sought to point out that to have 3 Perigee Moons or Super Moons in a row is rare; to have triplets or Triads of these is amazing; to have the Triads consecutively is perhaps Biblical. The Lunar Perigee cycles are consistent and predictable but they usually occur only in pairs. Moreover, this Super Moon pattern only occurs in the 2014-15 time-frame in the decade. In 2015 there are 2 Super Moon Triads for a total of 6 Super Moons. There are 3 New Moons at the beginning of the year and 3 Full Moons toward the end of the year. What is amazing and fantastic is that the period of the 2014-2015 Tetrad of lunar Blood Moon eclipses coincides in the same time-frame with the Perigee Lunar cycle of 3 consecutive Super Moons.

The study has suggested that perhaps these triple Triads of Super Moons are validating prophetically the Tetrad. Both celestial pattern phenomena converge at a single point in time, Sukkot of 2015 in particular. This point in time appears to be a synchronization of prophetic time that might be related to a fulfilment of prophecy in Biblical proportions. This study strongly suggests that these Super Moon patterns that started in 2014 are a sort of ‘confirming and accompanying witnesses’ to the Tetrad Blood Moons, are unprecedented and perhaps are a factor in the cosmic convergence of prophetic time.

To reiterate, the 3 Triads of Super Moons also within themselves occur in a symmetrical pattern. The 1st Triad of Super Moons consist of Full Moons and occur in 2014. The middle Triad that starts at the beginning of 2015 are consisting of New Moons and ends with the last Super Moon Triad of Full Moons in the Fall of 2015. It is the middle Triad of New Moons that itself is accented by the March 20 total solar eclipse and the Black Moon; obviously omens of doom and gloom. It will be doom for the nations in the Spring and gloom for Israel in the Fall. These 2 key dates to include the solar eclipse of March 20, 2015 and the Blood Moon of September 28, 2015 are a season apart and occur on eclipses and are on a Super Moon. Review the entire study here: http://nebula.wsimg.com/4f11dc34c15cef45bb9781b3020ec7db?AccessKeyId=D40106E1331C24ABD7C3&disposition=0&alloworigin=1

...One last point on this - go back up to the first graph on this page “Lord’s Perfect Sign” and note 6/15/11 and 7/27/18 both Center Bull Eye Blood Moons over Jerusalem Directly, creating a perfect symmetry parenthesis around the Tetrad of 2014-2015 which ends with (showcases) the last of the Tetrad Blood Moons, a Super Blood Moon AND being the only one also seen by “All” of “Jerusalem”...the only one!  So we now have an incredible divine anomaly of a Tetrad within a triple Triad within a parenthesis of Bulls Eye Blood Moons only seen from Jerusalem, surrounding the Super Blood Moon of the current Tetrad, only one seen from all of Jerusalem! ...the odds are astronomical and it is believed to never happen before in the past nor will it again in the future.  To quote from Lu Vega above “it does appear that the convergence of the Super Moons and [Tetrad] Blood Moons [and triple Triads and Jerusalem visible bulls eye blood moons] will be some sort of prophetic fulcrum point where history will be bench-marked from that time forward”
