What will Life be Like After the 4th Lunar Eclipse? - Amazing Worldwide Event #4 in 2015 Linked to Bible Prophecy

So here's the big question I'm sure is on everybody's mind: What will life be like after these events of next September -- the Shemitah and the 4th lunar eclipse? (Tweet that!)

And what will happen on the Shemitah on September 13, 2015?

We can see what happened on the previous two Shemitah's in 2001 and 2008, which I described in the January 15th post, 2015 Amazing Worldwide Event #3 Linked to Bible Prophecy: The Coming Shemitah in September. To recap, on those dates the stock market fell 7%. So will that happen again? That's the big question.

My answer? At this point I don't see any reason there won't be a repeat, and perhaps even a greater, more devastating fall than 7%. (Tweet that!)

What could prevent that devastation? A national turning back to the one true God of heaven by the United States of America. But I don't foresee that happening. (Tweet that!)

I see the United States continuing its path away from God -- the Judeo/Christian God. We have many leaders who do not believe we are, ever have been, or should be a Christian nation – even though the historical record clearly shows this nation was founded as a Christian nation, prayed over to be a Christian nation, and until recently was lead by people who believe in it being a Christian nation. (Tweet that!)

But now we have many leaders who want America to be a led by a different god, or at least multiple gods who are all believed to be equal. This is an affront to the One True God. (Tweet that!)

Many more of our leaders don't seem to be able to lead enough of us to counteract that.

 So we have the stronger leadership in the United States leading us in a wrong direction. And we have a complete lack of leadership in the right direction. This is creating a "perfect storm" that will lead to America's downfall. (Tweet that!) If nothing changes. And I foresee nothing changing.

I see America in a spiral downward and I am very pessimistic about our future, especially as a powerful leader for good in the world. (Tweet that!)

I believe our current leadership is leading us, willfully, into globalism which means powers in the rest of the world will rule America. (Tweet that!)

I also believe this is coming more rapidly than most people comprehend. (Tweet that!)

And I believe all of these "signs in the heavens" that I've been writing about on this blog, in order to alert and educate as many people as possible, are signs that something is coming. (Tweet that!) Something huge. Something world-changing. It's already in motion and there is no stopping it.  (Tweet that!)

And so what will life be like after the Shemitah? I don't know. What does a world look like after a major financial collapse in the United States that cascades throughout the world? Will our cash money be any good? Will it buy anything? Food? Fuel? Will there be anything to buy? Will food and fuel be rationed? Will there be medical/health care?

Will this lead the world to a point – whether then or later – when everyone will be forced to have a card or other biometric device in order to buy anything? That would be the fulfillment of Revelation 13:17, would it not?

The "it" in this passage is the person known as the Antichrist:

Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. (Revelation 13:16-18)

And then, only two weeks after the Shemitah with the partial solar eclipse, comes the fourth total lunar eclipse in the series of four, the fourth and final of the four "Blood Moons."

And so we come to this post's real question:

What will life be like after the this fourth and final lunar eclipse? (Tweet that!)

What do you think? As we stand outside under the night sky watching this fourth lunar eclipse, will our lives be vastly different from what they are today? Will they be like what I just described above?

If something major is going to happen, how might we prepare? What is our best preparation?

Some people are stocking up on all kinds of supplies. This is not wrong nor a sign of unbelief or lack of faith. However the best preparation any of us can make is to "stock up on" or strengthen our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our help, our supply, our everything we will ever need. (Tweet that!)

So where are you in your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ? The best answer is: know Him and growing my knowledge and understanding of and faith in Him.

In Jesus Christ is the only safe place to be now as well as during and after the Shemitah and the 4th lunar eclipse next September. (Tweet that!)

Helping people to know and understand the Lord Jesus Christ as their preparation for the future is ultimately what this blog is all about. (Tweet that!)

Where the 4th Lunar Eclipse Will be Visible - Amazing Worldwide Event #4 in 2015 Linked to Bible Prophecy

You will be able to see this #4 total lunar eclipse in the series of four from most of North America, South America, Europe, west Asia, and parts of Africa. (Tweet that!) 

There's one fact about this total lunar eclipse compared to the #3 eclipse in April that I find fascinating. (Tweet that!) While both eclipses will last near the same about of time from beginning to end, there's a large difference in the amount of time the moon will be totally eclipsed -- called the "totality" phase.

From beginning to end, the eclipse will last:

  • 3rd Lunar Eclipse in the tetrad, April 4, 2015:  3 hours and 29 minutes
  • 4th Lunar Eclipse in the tetrad, Sept. 28, 2015: 3 hours and 20 minutes

The moon will be totally eclipsed (totality):
  • 3rd Lunar Eclipse in the tetrad, April 4, 2015:  about 5 minutes
  • 4th Lunar Eclipse in the tetrad, Sept. 28, 2015: about 1 hour and 12 minutes
I'm sure there's a scientific reason for this having to do with the positions of the earth and moon. Is there a spiritual reason? (Tweet that!) For example a longer extension of time in totality being relevant to how dire the warning is? (Tweet that!) Or possibly relevant to how much closer we are to...whatever is going to happen next? (Tweet that!) Remember this is the fourth and final of these four total lunar eclipses.

I don't know any answers to these questions, but it's interesting to contemplate.

You can learn more about this eclipse here: (Tweet that!)



Come back in two days and we'll speculate on what life might be like after this coming fourth lunar eclipse in September that may be linked to Bible prophecy.

Is the Next Lunar Eclipse in April 2015 a Partial or Total? - Amazing Worldwide Event #2 Linked to Bible Prophecy

I was surprised when I went looking for information about the coming lunar eclipse on April 4, 2015, that is linked to Bible prophecy because I discovered it is sometimes being called a partial eclipse. (Tweet that!)

As we've discussed before, these lunar eclipses are spiritually, prophetically, and Biblically important because they are a tetrad falling on the first and last of the seven Jewish holy feast days (that is, Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles) two years in a row. A tetrad is defined as four total lunar eclipses in a row without any partial lunar eclipses falling in between them.

Therefore if this #3 eclipse is only a partial eclipse, that would be extremely important information because that would mean this is not actually a tetrad or series of four total lunar eclipses. (Tweet that!)

Furthermore, if this were only a partial eclipse then it would not be a total lunar eclipse on Passover.(Tweet that!)

On this topic, the TimeAndDate.com site gives this explanation on why the site is calling this a partial lunar eclipse in some of its material:

(*) Total eclipses with a very short period of totality and partial eclipses that come close to reaching totality may be labelled wrongly or inconsistently as total or partial eclipses. We are aware of this problem and are working on a solution.

While in the heading of the TimeAndDate.com article the April 4, 2015, event is called a "partial lunar eclipse," the article itself calls it a "total lunar eclipse."

This eclipse will last for 3 hours and 29 minutes from beginning to end. The moon will be totally eclipsed (the totality) for about 5 minutes. (Tweet that!)

Where to See the 3rd Lunar Eclipse in April - Amazing Worldwide Event #2 Linked to Bible Prophecy

In the January 13th post, we talked about 2015's Amazing Worldwide Event #2 Linked to Bible Prophecy: The Coming Third Lunar Eclipse in April. We will take a closer look at this event in three posts this week.

This lunar eclipse will take place on the Jewish feast of Passover, which makes it very significant spiritually and prophetically in light of Bible prophecy. (Tweet that!)

As this eclipse approaches and you make your plans to watch it, be sure to remember that the Jewish day is counted from sundown to sundown, which means the eclipse will be in the early morning hours of the April 4 (not the evening of April 4). (Tweet that!)

This eclipse will not be visible everywhere in the world. I call it a “worldwide event” because it is important, prophetically, to the whole world regardless of whether or not you can see it from where you are the morning of April 4, 2015. (Tweet that!) This eclipse will be visible in much of Asia, Australia, much of North America and South America, and the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic, and Antarctica.

You can learn more about this third total lunar eclipse of this tetrad (series of four) on the following site. (Tweet that!)You can also learn what you will be able to see and at what time by entering your location on this site:

2015 Amazing Worldwide Event #4 Linked to Bible Prophecy: The Coming Fourth Lunar Eclipse in September

The fourth and final amazing worldwide event linked to Bible prophecy that we can foresee coming in 2015 is the fourth and final total lunar eclipse of the 2014 – 2015 tetrad. (Tweet that!)

This total lunar eclipse will occur on September 28, 2015, the Feast of Tabernacles, only two weeks after the Shemitah. (Tweet that!) I wonder what the world will look like at that point? I do expect major events to occur on the Shemitah, or perhaps before.

Am I foolish in openly predicting such a thing? I don't think so. I'm not the one predicting it. God is writing in the skies where EVERYONE can see -- whether or not they have a Bible, a TV, internet, or can read a blog like this one. (Tweet that!) God is shouting through all of these signs -- signs in the sun and moon and more. (Tweet that!) So will I be put to shame if my prediction doesn't come true? (Tweet that!) I don't believe I'll be put to shame on that.

For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame” (Romans 10:11).

If you missed the introductory discuss of the Shemitah in my previous post two days ago, find it here: The Coming Shemitah in September.

You can learn more right now about why all these lunar eclipses occurring on Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles two years in a row are important from our discussions during the first two total lunar eclipses in these posts. The videos with expert Jonathan Cahn that are titled "After the Lunar Eclipse" were recorded after the first total lunar eclipse which occurred on Passover last spring on April 15, 2014.


We will discuss this fourth total lunar eclipse coming in September in future posts. In fact, we will talk more about the next total lunar eclipse, the third in the tetrad, coming in April next week, so please stop back by and bring a friend.

2015 Amazing Worldwide Event #2 Linked to Bible Prophecy: The Coming Third Lunar Eclipse in April

In my post on January 6th I listed four amazing worldwide events coming in 2015. I call them amazing and worldwide events because I believe they are linked to Bible prophecy and therefore will affect the entire world. (Tweet that!)
After a brief one-post interruption for the breaking news story about the terrorists in Paris, France, in my previous post on January 10th we took a look at that first event: 


The second amazing worldwide event coming this year is the third of the four total lunar eclipses occurring April 4, 2015. (Tweet that!) 

This event will be on the Jewish feast of Passover. (Tweet that!)

We will discuss this event more in depth all next week. For now, you can find a lot of information in our previous discussions about these four lunar eclipses. Here are links to several of those posts. If you haven't been with me for these discussions, there's a ton of information in these linked articles. Even if you have been with me long enough to have seen these posts previously they are great for review: (Tweet that!)


Come back on Thursday for a brief look at 2015's amazing worldwide event #3 that is linked to Bible prophecy: the coming Shemitah in September.

Invite Your Neighbors to View the Coming Blood Moon Event

Morguefile.com
The second lunar eclipse in the current tetrad is only one week away. Why not invite your neighbors to join you to view this history-in-the-making event? (Tweet that!)

I've already invited a neighbor, and she not only said yes she'd join me outside early the morning of October 8 to watch it, she's excited about it! I'm planning to invite more neighbors to join us. If you're interested, why not do the same and make neighborhood event out of it? (Tweet that!)

It will be a time for you to share what you have learned about this important, historic event which is occurring on the 7th annual Feast of the LORD, which is the Feast of Tabernacles.

Others may see you gathered in the middle of the night, wonder what you're doing, and ask questions. You'll then have an opportunity to engage with your neighbors to discuss what's happening, why it's spiritually important, and will be able to answer their questions and discuss with them the history we are seeing play out before our eyes.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "But I don't know enough about all this. You can bet they will ask me questions. How am I going to explain all the spiritual significance to everyone?"

Problem solved: I've made a handy PDF tri-fold brochure handout with the basic information that you can download and print right now. (Tweet that!)

Download and print "The 7 Feasts of the LORD and the 4 Blood Moons" tri-fold brochure here.

If you are a Christian and would like to start a conversation about spiritual matters with your neighbors, friends, or family members, this is a great, unique way to witness to your friends and neighbors. (Tweet that!) Print out my handout and you'll be equipped with facts, dates of the lunar eclipses, information on the Feasts of the LORD, Scripture verses, and more help to assist you. Or you can simply print copies to give to your friends and neighbors.

Want an invitation to spread around your neighborhood? Here's some suggested text for an invitation. You can get information for your location to fill in the blanks online at sites like TimeAndDate.com: Oct 8, 2014 Total Lunar Eclipse.

YOU'RE INVITED! 

In the early morning hours of Wednesday, October 8th, there will be a total lunar eclipse. I'm so excited about this event that I'm making plans to wake up and take a look. Would you like to join me? 
In our area, if the skies are clear, we can expect to see the eclipse begin at ___________. 
The total phase of the lunar eclipse will last 55 minutes with the partial phases lasting about 1 hour and 9 minutes both before and after the total phase. (Please note the moon may disappear below the horizon before the eclipse is over, depending on your location.)

I'm especially excited about this lunar eclipse because it may have special spiritual significance. We are currently living in a series of four total lunar eclipses that may have been predicted in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. If you'd like to know more about that, I'll have some information with me that night. Please feel free to ask me questions and I'll do my best to answer them. 
Let's make a fun neighborhood event of it! Please join me outside at (address/location: 
______________________________________________________________________. 
Let's keep it quiet to be respectful of those neighbors who do not wish to join us. 

BYO's! (Bring Your Own)

  • lawn chair
  • snugly blanket 
  • binoculars area  great way to view a lunar eclipse
  • Hot cocoa, cider, tea, or coffee. (No alcohol please.)


While you're at it, why not message your local Police Department. You can probably find an e-mail address to send a message like this:

As a courtesy I wanted to let you know that I have invited my neighbors to join me outside in the early morning hours of October 8, 2014, to watch the total lunar eclipse. You shouldn't get any phone calls because I've left an invitation at the door of all my neighbors so they should know what we're doing out there. But if you do get a call that people are standing around in my neighborhood that night, that's what we're up to.

Don't be surprised if you see a patrol car drive by or stop to join you. Invite the officers to stay for a little while and offer them a cup of hot cocoa.

"Tetrad" of Four Lunar Eclipses on Jewish Feast Days in the Past

Thanks Morguefile.com 
We've been talking about the tetrad of four lunar eclipses that are occurring on major Jewish Feast Days—Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles—in both 2014 and 2015. The first of these will occur early morning tomorrow, April 15th.

While I knew this lunar eclipse was scheduled for April 15th, what I didn't know was would it be early morning hours April 15 or the evening or April 15? 

This I knew for sure: the Jewish "day" begins at sundown of what we in the west consider the previous evening. So I was wondering if the eclipse might actually be on what we here in the United States would think of as the night of April 14th which begins the Jewish Passover.

Silly me. I should have known if the scientists say the eclipse is on the 15th, then it is on 15th (after midnight). And since the Passover ends at sundown on April 15th, then it couldn't be the evening (after dark) of the 15th and still be on Passover. Hey, I'm learning here too.

I found the precise information of when this lunar eclipse will occur and when we'll be able to see it here in the United States and the entire Western Hemisphere in this article from CBSNews.com: "Lunar eclipse could doom NASA's LADEE moon orbiter." According to this article, "The total phase will last 78 minutes, beginning at 3:06 a.m. EDT and ending at 4:24 a.m. EDT." (Tweet that!)
Thanks to www.Morguefile.com

You might be wondering just how rare is this schedule of four lunar eclipses occurring on Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles two years in a row? (Tweet that!) While it really is quite rare, this is not the first time even in recent history that this has occurred.

Four lunar eclipses also fell on Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles three times in the last five hundred and twenty-five years or so. What's interesting is that very significant events occurred in Israel during those same years. (Tweet that!)

1967 – 1968

Most recently, this same tetrad of lunar eclipses on Passover and Tabernacles occurred in 1967 and '68. The first lunar eclipse fell on April 24, 1967, on Passover. In June, Arabs nations were gathering to attack Israel, but Israel preempted their attack beginning June 4, 1967, fought on three different fronts, and won decisive victories on each. During these six days, Israel more than doubled in size and also seized the Old City of Jerusalem. You can read more about the Six-Day War in this "This Day in History" article on History.com: "June 11, 1967: Six-Day War ends."

1949 – 1950

Another tetrad with eclipses on Passover and Tabernacles occurred in 1949 and 1950. Adolf Hitler and his Nazis tried to annihilate the Jews in the Holocaust during World War II, which the United States was involved in from 1941 – 1945. But the unexpected result was that Adolph Hitler was dead while Israel came back to life. For the first time in over 2,000 years, Israel once again became a nation on May 14, 1948. The first Israeli government took office on January 25, 1949 and in the coming months Israel signed truce agreements with Egypt (on February 24), Lebanon (on March 23), Jordan (on April 3), and Syria (on July 20).*

The first lunar eclipse of that tetrad occurred on Passover on April 13, 1949.

1493 – 1494

Most Americans know that Columbus set sail on his infamous journey to the New World, America, in 1492. What does this time have to do with Israel? This time is almost as important in Jewish history as in American history. On March 30, 1492, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain signed a decree ordering the Jews to leave by August if they refused to convert to Catholicism. The Jews were stripped of their wealth and their home.*

Columbus sailed in August 1492. The first of the four lunar eclipses occurred on Passover on April 2, 1493.
Christopher Columbus recorded this infamous edict in his diary:
In the same month in which their Majesties [Ferdinand and Isabella] issued the edict that all Jews should be driven out of the kingdom and its territories, in the same month they gave me the order to undertake with sufficient men my expedition of discovery to the Indies.
FourBlood moons: Something is about to Change by John Hagee (Worthy Publishing, 2013), page 187.
*I learned this information from Pastor John Hagee's book Four Book Moons: Something is about to Change, which I recommend. His book includes a lot of additional fascinating details.

32 – 33 A.D.

Mark Biltz, the man from whom I learned about the Feasts of the LORD and the lunar eclipses, recently said he had traced another tetrad to the years of Jesus Christ's crucifixion.


Please take time to get up early and go out and see the lunar eclipse in the early morning hours tomorrow.

In the next post I'll talk about why I don't think anything "big" is actually going to happen tomorrow. We'll see if I'm right soon enough.

Special Note:

In anticipation of the first of the four lunar eclipses occurring in the early morning hours tomorrow, we're discussing information important to understanding their significance. If you missed some of the posts, here is the schedule we covered in recent days. (Tweet that!) I'm sure you know someone who would be interested in these prophetic times.

What Causes the Moon to Turn Red Like Blood?

Thanks Morguefile.com 
In the natural world, meaning in nature, there are only three things than can cause the moon to appear red. Some societies in human history have called these a "blood moon."

While God is able to supernaturally cause anything He wants to happen, He most often uses the natural way of the creation which He created to do what He has in mind to do.

Knowing that, it's perfectly logical to believe that the coming natural phenomena of the four lunar eclipses which will cause the moon to appear red while naturally occurring could, at the same time, be spiritually significant. In other words, just because these eclipses are happening naturally and not supernaturally doesn't mean they are not spiritually or prophetically significant.

The moon and its orbit, as well as all the galaxy, was pre-arranged by God. And He knew from the beginning of creation that there would be a lunar eclipse on April 15, 2014.

In the natural realm, with no supernatural intervention, what can cause the moon to appear red?
Thanks to www.Morguefile.com 
There are three things:
  • when it is low in the sky, because of the effect of the earth's atmosphere;
  • when there is smoke from a forest fire, ash from a volcano, or other debris in the air;
  • and during a lunar eclipse, again because of the effect of the earth's atmosphere.
The first of the coming four lunar eclipses occurs next Tuesday, April 15th, on the first Feast of the LORD which is Passover. (Tweet that!)

Will you be watching the skies next Tuesday night? I will. What if it's cloudy? My bet is it won't be. Why would God hang a "sign" in the sky and then cover it with clouds so we couldn't see it? (Tweet that!)

I'll be watching. I hope you will too.

This article, "Lunar eclipse could doom NASA's LADEE moon orbiter"  from CBSNews has information about the time we can see the lunar eclipse in the Western Hemisphere, including the United States.

Be awed. Be amazed at what God is doing this Passover night! (Tweet that!)

Who do you know who would like to know about this? Please share it with them. You may use the share buttons at the bottom of each post. Thank you.

Special Note:

In anticipation of the first of the four lunar eclipses occurring next week, we're covering some prophecies concerning red moons and other information important to understanding their significance.

The Prophetic Significance of the Feasts of the LORD

Thanks Morguefile.com 
What are the Feasts of the LORD? God gave seven Feasts to the Jews in Leviticus 23. These were Feasts the Jewish people were required to keep, and they continue to observe and celebrate them to this day. 

In some translations of the Bible, such as the newer (2011) New International Version (NIV) as well as the New Living Translation (NLT), they are not called "feasts" but are called "festivals."

It's important to notice these are not the Feasts of the Jews. These are Feasts of the LORD. They belong not just to the Jewish people but to everyone who belongs to the LORD.

The seven Feasts of the LORD have both historical meaning and prophetic meaning.

By "historical" I mean these Feasts point back in time to a certain time in history and the Feast is designed to remind the Jews (and all of us) of what God did for the Jewish people at that time in history.

By "prophetic" I mean these Feasts also point forward in time to something God said He would do in the future. Now, these Feasts were given in the time of Moses, who lived approximate 1500 years before Christ, so some of what was "future" in that time is now past history to us. In other words the prophetic/future meaning for some of these feasts is in our past. And we can clearly see it since we now have the benefit of looking back in hindsight.

The prophetic meaning of the first four of the seven Feasts of the LORD were fulfilled in the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The prophetic meaning of the last three of the seven Feasts of the LORD will be fulfilled in his second coming.

Some people don't believe Jesus is coming again. Their disbelief does not affect that truth that he will indeed come again—and that time is growing near. (Tweet that!) Two reasons we can be so confident he will indeed come again are:
  • The fact that he has already fulfilled four of the seven Feasts in his first coming
  • The fact that three of the seven Feasts have yet to be fulfilled.
The first three Feasts occur in spring. Then there's a break of fifty days to Pentecost.

Then the last three Feasts occur in fall of the year.

Here are the seven Feasts (or festivals) of the LORD in the order they occur annually along with the historical event or meaning, the prophetic event or meaning (Tweet that!), and the Scripture backup for that event:
  1. Passover, which points historically to when the Passover Lamb is slain. Prophetically, Christ was our Passover Lamb, slain for the sins of the world (all who will accept that). 1 Corinthians 5:7
  2. The Feast of Unleavened Bread, celebrated by eating only bread without leaven. Historically it points to when the children of Israel left slavery in Egypt in haste with no time to let bread rise. In the Bible leaven often symbolizes sin. Prophetically, Jesus Christ, who was without sin, was buried and in the grave for the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. 2 Corinthians 5:21
  3. The Feast of First Fruits historically commemorates and thanks God for the first of the harvest after the Israelites entered the Promised Land. Prophetically, Jesus Christ is the first of the harvest, the first raised from dead. 1 Corinthians 15:20, 23; Revelation 1:5
  4. Pentecost, historically commemorates the giving of the Law by God to Moses. Prophetically, after Jesus ascended to heaven, the giving of the Holy Spirit was poured out on Pentecost. Acts 2
  5. The first in the fall is the Feast of Trumpets, also known as Yom Teruah or Rosh HaShana. The Feast of Trumpets, historically, is associated with the blowing of the shofar (ram's horn trumpet). Prophetically, it is connected to the resurrection of the dead and/or the Rapture. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
  6. Historically, on the Day of Atonement, also known as Yom Kippur, the High Priest enters Holy of Holies to atone for the people's sins. Every fiftieth year on this day, the Year of Jubilee is proclaimed. Prophetically, Jesus Christ will come again to get his people whose sins are atoned for. Mark 15:37-38, Hebrews 10:19-21
  7. The final Feast is the Feast of Tabernacles, also known as the Feast of Booths or Sukkot. Historically this celebrates the completion of the harvest. Prophetically, the harvest of souls from the earth is complete and God comes to live or "tabernacle" with us. Revelation 14:15-16
NASA projects there will be a full lunar eclipse on both Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles, the first and the last annual Feast of the LORD, in 2014 and then the same repeats in 2015. (Tweet that!)

Tomorrow we will look at what in nature (apart from God doing something supernatural) can cause the moon to turn red like blood. (Tweet that!)

Special Note:

In anticipation of the first of the four lunar eclipses occurring next week, we're covering some prophecies concerning red moons and other information important to understanding their significance.
