4th Blood Moon Is On Sunday September 27th (NOT September 28th)!

NOTE! The final total lunar eclipse is actually on
SUNDAY, September 27!

With the Shemitah year and final day now behind us, it's time to turn our attention to the fourth and final (of this tetrad) "Blood Moon" coming in less than two weeks -- in the early evening hours, just after sundown, on Sunday, September 27, 2015. (Tweet that!)

Don't miss this fourth "Blood Moon"! Again, it's the evening of September 27^th! Yes, it's Sunday evening here in the United States, NOT Monday the 28^th! (Tweet that!) 

We've been talking for a year and a half about the fourth total lunar eclipse that will fall on a major annual Jewish holiday, Sukkot, which is the 7^th of the seven annual Jewish holy days. The date given everywhere, including here on my blog, has been September 28, 2015, which is Monday. But here in the western hemisphere, this lunar eclipse will actually take place on Sunday evening, September 27^th. (Tweet that!) 

Why the discrepancy? Remember that on the Jewish calendar, a day runs from sunset to sunset. So Sukkot (on our calendars as September 28^th), actually starts at sundown on Sunday, September 27^th. (Tweet that!) 

Also, the solar and lunar eclipses forecast on web sites such as TimeAndDate.com use UTC: Coordinated Universal Time. UTC is a time standard all of the world's timing centers have agreed to synchronize to. (Tweet that!) 

Many of us learned about Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) (also known as Zulu time) which is sort of similar but not really the same. (GMT is now a Time Zone.) You can learn more about it here:

UTC – The World's Time Standard

All this means that this fourth total lunar eclipse is said to be on September 28 because that is on UTC time.

BUT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES this fourth Total Lunar Eclipse will be after sunset on Sunday, September 27^th! 

Please spread the word and don't miss it!

Is it a Total or a Partial Lunar Eclipse and Why that Distinction is Important -- Plus Easter Moments Countdown Days 7 & 6

Dates of Four Total Lunar Eclipses
plus the central Solar Eclipse
of 2014 and 2015

I've noticed a change! Previously Time and Date.com was calling this a partial lunar eclipse. They have changed their heading and are now calling this a total lunar eclipse. That distinction is important. (Tweet that!) Here's why:

These lunar eclipses are spiritually, prophetically, and Biblically important because they are a tetrad. (Tweet that!) A tetrad is defined as:

• four total lunar eclipses in a row without any partial lunar eclipses falling in between them. (Tweet that!)

If this lunar eclipse #3 is only a partial eclipse, that would be extremely important because that would mean this is not a tetrad. (Tweet that!)

Lunar eclipses are not rare. Of course tetrads, a series of four total lunar eclipses with no partials in between, are more rare. (Tweet that!)

This tetrad is even more rare because each total lunar eclipse in this tetrad is falling either the first or the last of the seven Jewish holy feast days God gave the Jewish people in the Old Testament (that is, Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles also known as Sukkot). (Tweet that!) And they are falling on those Jewish holidays two years in a row.

Time and Date.com has changed it's label for this eclipse from "Partial" to "Total" in its heading. It also gives this note:

(*) Eclipses with a short totality may be labelled wrongly as partial. We are working on a solution.

When Time and Date.com was calling this a partial lunar eclipse, I wrote more about it here:

• Is the Next Lunar Eclipse in April 2015 a Partial or Total? 

Come back next Tuesday and we'll learn more as we gear up for this coming total lunar eclipse which is being called the third Blood Moon. Meanwhile, be thinking about who you might invite to join you in observing this spring celestial event. (Tweet that!) A friend via the Facebook Lunar Eclipse Watch Party? (Tweet that!) Or a neighbor during the eclipse in your backyard?

Dates of Four Total Lunar Eclipses
plus the central Solar Eclipse

I'm sure the first question on your mind is where in your sky and when, as in the hours, you'll be able to see the 3rd "Blood Moon" total lunar eclipse coming early the morning of April 4, 2015.

Who can see it? 

At least some of this lunar eclipse will be visible in most of North America, South America, Asia and parts of Australia. (Tweet that!) Depending on where you are, you will see:

• Alaska, most of you will be able to see 100% of this eclipse from start to finish.
• Far western U.S. and Canada will see more than 75% of the event.
• Mid-west America (from approximately the Mississippi River westerly) and Canada, you'll see less that 75% but more than 50% of this eclipse. In my area, for example, the moon will set behind the western horizon before the eclipse ends, so I won't be able to see the big finish.
• Eastern approximately one third of the U.S. and Canada, as well as most of South America, will see less than 50%.

For more precise details, and for locations in Asia, Australia, and Russia, you can find a map with what you'll see, plus tons more information, here:  (Tweet that!)

• Time and Date.com - April 4, 2015 Total Lunar Eclipse

What time will the eclipse appear?

To learn what time the eclipse will begin and end in the skies over your neighborhood, you can enter your city in the box called "Eclipses visible from your city" on that same Time and Date site. (Tweet that!)

How long will this lunar eclipse last?

The moon will be in the totality phase, meaning totally eclipsed, for approximately five minutes. From start to finish this eclipse will last 3 hours and 29 minutes. (Tweet that!)

You can compare the length of this eclipse with the 4th Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse coming in September 2015 in this article I wrote earlier this year:

• February 3, 2015: Where the 4th Lunar Eclipse Will be Visible - Amazing Worldwide Event #4 in 2015 Linked to Bible Prophecy

Lunar Eclipse Trivia:

Did you know a lunar eclipse can only take place on a full moon? (Tweet that!)

And did you know that on the Jewish calendar the first of the month is always on a new moon (no moon visible) and therefore the 15th of the month is always on a full moon?

We've discussed these things in more detail here on the blog in previous posts. You can learn more in this one:

• September 23, 2014: The Feast of Tabernacles - Part 2 - and the Next Blood Moon

If you've been following the Blood Moons or this blog you know I'm fascinated by this current tetrad of four total lunar eclipses because they are falling on Jewish holy days, namely Passover (in the spring) and the Feast of Tabernacles, also called Sukkot (in the fall). (Tweet that!)

Obviously, then, Passover and Sukkot always fall on the 15th of the month on the Jewish calendar. That's the only way we could have lunar eclipses on these Jewish holidays -- if they were always on the 15th of the month. (Tweet that!)

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.

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 7^th 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 8^th, 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.

Finally, here's a really interesting video from NASA about what we're going to see. (Tweet that!) Runs 4:10 minutes:

The Feast of Tabernacles - Part 2 - and the Next Blood Moon

Morguefile.com

The Feast of Tabernacles begins on Tishrei 15, five days after the Day of Atonement.

As we've discussed previously, on the Jewish calendar the first of the month is always on a new moon and therefore the 15^th of the month is always on a full moon.

As we've also discussed before, a lunar eclipse can only take place on a full moon. 

If you've been following the current tetrad* of four lunar eclipses on Jewish holy days, the next total lunar eclipse, which is the second of the set of four, will take place on October 8^th – that is in the early morning hours of October 8. (Tweet that!) 

October 8, 2014, is the eve or (or the beginning of at sundown) Sukkot, which is the Hebrew name for the Feast of Tabernacles. (Tweet that!)

As I said in my previous post, this is not a coincidence. This is a God-incident. (Tweet that!)

God is speaking. He is setting His signal in the sky for all the people of the earth to see.  (Tweet that!) He is setting a sign in the sky where no one can cover it over or hide it. We are not dependent on the news media to tell us this piece of information. Governments and leaders cannot hide it from the people. It is there. No one can make it go away.

Morguefile.com

Yes, people can say it's just a coincidence. Skeptics can snicker. Those who refuse to believe can ridicule. But it's still there. For everyone on earth to see. (Tweet that!)

It is a message. A warning. A shouting to the people of the earth that something is happening. (Tweet that!) Something is about to happen. If you're not listening, if you've never listened before, will you begin to listen now? And who would you like to share this with?

Our next post on Thursday will be on the Feast of Trumpets. After that, we will spend our posts until the eclipse of October 8 talking about and anticipating the next "Blood Moon" lunar eclipse.

* A tetrad is a series of four total lunar eclipses with no partial eclipses occurring in between.
