Four Blood Moons

In the Fullstature Missions International (FMI) we have taught the Lord’s feasts of Passover; Unleavened bread; First fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles as our basic doctrine covering all the major doctrines of the Bible. We have also taught that it holds the timetable for the programme of the Lord for the earth. We have related the same subjects to the fact of the Tabernacle of Moses of the outer court, the Holy place and the Holy of Holies. We have done this for the past 17 years.

Salvation; Sanctification; Fruit of the Spirit; Pentecost; Being God’s Mouth piece or pro; Authority and Bearing God’s presence are New Testament experiences of the Lord’s Feasts. Jesus Christ fulfilled all the feasts while He was here on earth.  We believe that the last day Church will carry the presence of God so that multitudes will be saved. We believe that the last day harvest has already begun (even though it may not be happening in your church or your ministry). Peep into China; India; Argentina; Brazil; Nigeria, South Africa and many other African countries and you see multitudes crowded to get saved. Yes, the church may not be perfect but many are responding as never before.

Moreover, in the last four years we have been led to publish the Strategic Level Prayer Journal to point to the issue of timing based on the activities of the heavens and their influence on the earth according to the word of God. God’s timetable is firmly planted in the heavens if only we will be smart enough to look.

We have already heard of the faith of Enoch and Stephen happening now which is required for leaving this earth in these last days. The church must hurry up in maturing its members.

There are 4 things that destroy true faith: i) False Eschatology ii) False Theology iii) Philosophy iv)Psychology. We are constantly seeing these destroy the faith of the kingdom citizens. We praise God that the Kingdom of God is potent in the earth and when fully manifested , democracy will be forgotten. This is why the the current event of the blood Moons are important to the church as sign posts of the last day events to usher in the Kingdom.

Four Blood Moons: – Is a topic that draws on (1) Scripture, (2) NASA science, and (3) recorded history in order to explain the significance of astronomical events called \”blood moons.\” The next series of four blood moons occurs at Passover and Tabernacles in 2014 (April 15/October 8) and 2015 (April 4/September 28).

Scriptures

\”And I will show wonders in the heavens, and in the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Jehovah.\”  Joel 2:30 -31

\”The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious Day of the Lord.\” Acts 2:20

I learned that when the moon is in eclipse, it speaks to natural Israel. When you have a Solar Eclipse in the midst of lunar eclipse it is also a message to the world –to everyone. In-fact the Jews believe that it is a sign of a sword or war coming.

Four, blood moons on the Lord’s Feast days within two years is very rare and has only occurred seven times since the time of Jesus Christ. There are now four blood moons scheduled to appear in 2014/2015 and then there will NOT be any for the next 100 years.

Every time a blood moon pattern has appeared on the Lord’s feast days a big event affects the nation of Israel and outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the church. The event affecting Israel begins just before the actual years of the blood moons. To understand what will happen in the 2014 – 2015 \”blood moons\” you must understand the pattern of blood moons in the past.

NASA (Science)

NASA found that we have had \”blood-red moons\” on the first day of Passover and the first day of Tabernacles on back-to-back years seven times since 1 A.D. Three of these occurrences were connected to 1492 (the year the Jews were expelled from Spain by Queen Isabella and America was discovered) , 1948 (statehood for Israel and the War of Independence and revival broke out through people like Billy Graham, Kenneth Hagin, T L Osborn; Oral Roberts and 50 other “Healing Evangelists”), and 1967 (the Six-Day War and the Jesus People movement leading to the teaching movements in the 70s) — some of the most significant days in Jewish and Church history. According to NASA – Four \’blood-red\’ TOTAL lunar eclipses WILL fall again on Passover and Tabernacles in 2014 and 2015… the same back-to-back occurrences at the time of 1492, 1948 and 1967.

Seven back-to-back, blood-red moons have fallen on the first day of Passover and Taberncles, with the \”eighth time\”… coming in 2014 and 2015.

The meaning of the number \”Eight\”in the Bible is \”New Beginnings\”… The eighth day was new after God rested. There are 7 days in a week and the 8th day is a new beginning. Christ rose on the 8th day which was a new beginning for the world.

In Hebrew, the days of the week are simply numbered, except for the 7th, which is the Sabbath (Shabbat). With the exception of the Shabbat, the weekdays have no names. They are simply numbered:

yom rishon = \”first day\” = (Sunday-after the Roman Sun god)

yom sheni = \”second day\” = (Monday-after Roman MOON god etc)

yom sh\’lishi = \”third day\” = (Tuesday)

yom revi\’i = \”fourth day\” = (Wednesday)

yom chamishi = \”fifth day\” = (Thursday)

yom shishi = \”sixth day\” = (Friday)

The week culminates in the seventh day, the Holy Shabbat (shabbat kodesh).

Mark 15:42-44: \”Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the Kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate marvelled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time.\”

Matt. 28:1-2: \”Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.\” The first day of the week is Sunday (First day of the week), according to the New Testament since Saturday is the 7th day.

Jesus Christ rose on the first day of a new week which is the eighth day. When the whole earth was covered with the flood, it was Noah \”the eighth person\” (2 Peter 2:5) who stepped out on to a new earth to commence a new order of things. \”Eight souls\” (1 Peter 3:20) passed through to the new or re-generated world.

Hence, too, circumcision was to be performed on the \”eighth day\” (Genesis 17:12), because it was the fore-shadowing of the true circumcision of the heart, that which was to be \”made without hands,\” even \”the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ\” (Colossians 2:11). This is connected with the new creation.

Tetrad: When four consecutive lunar eclipses are all total eclipses, the group is known as a tetrad.

Historical

.Four PARTIAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Passover in 32 AD – 33 AD and the \”Feast of Tabernacles\” in the years before and after the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The world has since witnessed seven \”Tetrads\” coinciding with events impacting Jewish and Christian culture.

Seven Jewish Total Lunar Eclipses have occurred in the 1st & 2nd Millenniums:

Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Passover and Feast of Tabernacles in 162 – 163 AD, coinciding with the worst persecution of Jews…Jesus prophesied this and it happened when General Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the Jews were scattered and Jerusalem was only recaptured by the Jews in the 1967  six-day war when there was another tetrad! Christians were also scattered at this time in the history of the Roman Empire. Within 3 years the Antonine Plague killed eight million people, a third of the population.

Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Passover and Tabernacles 795 – 796 AD while King Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire established a DMZ buffer zone between France and Spain, ending centuries of Arab invasions into Western Europe.

Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Passover and Tabernacles in 842 – 843 AD. Shortly after the eclipses the Vatican church in Rome was attacked and looted by an Islamic invasion from Africa.

Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Passover and Tabernacles in 860 – 861 AD. Shortly after the eclipses the Byzantine Empire defeated Arab armies at the Battle of Lalakaon in Turkey and permanently stopped the Islamic invasion of Eastern Europe.

The last three “Blood Moons” are very important as they affect ISRAEL and the Church as we know it today:

Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Passover and Tabernacles in 1493 – 1494. Only months after King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain ordered all Jewish people to leave the country (after about 200 AD, Spain became and remained a second Jewish homeland for well over a millennia. So deeply woven into the fabric of Spain are the Jews that neither history can be fully studied without considering the influence of the other).

“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.” So begins Christopher Columbus’s diary.

The expulsion that Columbus refers to was so cataclysmic an event that ever since; the date 1492 has been almost as important in Jewish history as in American history. On July 30 of that year, the entire Jewish community, some 200,000 people, were expelled from Spain. Tens of thousands of refugees died while trying to reach safety. In some instances, Spanish ship captains charged Jewish passengers exorbitant sums, then dumped them overboard in the middle of the ocean. In the last days before the expulsion, rumours spread throughout Spain that the fleeing refugees had swallowed gold and diamonds, and many Jews were knifed to death by brigands hoping to find treasures in their stomachs.

1492 was the same year that the Jews were expelled from Spain and Christopher Columbus ‘amazingly’…. discovered America which is home today for more than 5 million Jews outside Israel. Like Mordecai said to Esther – “help will come in another way!” And America was blessed by God

Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Lord’s Passover and Feast of Tabernacles in 1949 – 1950 during the 1st Arab – Israeli War for Independence just after Israel had become a nation again for the first time in 2,000 years. It should be noted here: that even though Israel declared themselves a nation in 1948, the first permanent government took office on January 25th, 1949. Israel had a transitional government in 1948. In this way the “(Tetrad) four blood moons” can tie to the year 1949 for the first elected office of that year and the birth year could still be 1948.

On 14^th May, 1948 – Israel proclaimed its independence. Less than 24 hours later, the regular armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq invaded the country, forcing Israel to defend the sovereignty it had regained in its ancestral homeland. In what became known as Israel\’s War of Independence, the newly formed, poorly equipped Israel Defense Forces (IDF) repulsed the invaders in fierce intermittent fighting, which lasted some 15 months and claimed over 6,000 Israeli lives (nearly one percent of the country\’s Jewish population at the time).

During the first months of 1949, direct negotiations were conducted under United Nations auspices between Israel and each of the invading countries (except Iraq, which refused to negotiate with Israel), resulting in armistice agreements which reflected the situation at the end of the fighting.

Accordingly, the Coastal Plain, Galilee and the entire Negev were within Israel\’s sovereignty, Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) came under Jordanian rule, the Gaza Strip came under Egyptian administration, and the city of Jerusalem was divided, with Jordan controlling the eastern part, including the Old City, and Israel the western sector.

The war over, Israel focused on building the state which the people had struggled so long and so hard to regain. The first 120-seat Knesset (parliament) went into session following national elections (25 January 1949) in which nearly 85 percent of all eligible voters cast their ballots.

Two of the people who had led Israel to statehood became the country\’s leaders:  David Ben-Gurion, head of the Jewish Agency, was chosen as the first Prime Minister; and Chaim Weizmann, head of the World Zionist Organization, was elected by the Knesset as the first president. On 11 May 1949, Israel took its seat as the 59th member of the United Nations.

“The gates of the country were thrown open, affirming the right of every Jew to become a citizen.” David Ben-Gurion

Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Feast of Passover and Feast of Tabernacle in 1967 – 1968 coinciding with the 6 Day War when Israel recaptured Jerusalem. As Israel\’s neighbours prepared to destroy the Jewish state, Israel invoked its inherent right of self-defence, launching a pre-emptive strike (5 June 1967) against Egypt in the South.

It was followed by a counter attack against Jordan in the East and the routing of Syrian forces entrenched on the Golan Heights in the North. At the end of six days of fighting, previous cease-fire lines were replaced by new ones, with Judea, Samaria, Gaza, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Golan Heights under Israel\’s control. As a result, the northern villages were freed from 19 years of recurrent Syrian shelling; the passage of Israeli and Israel-bound shipping through the Straits of Tiran was ensured; and Jerusalem, which had been divided under Israeli and Jordanian rule since 1949, was reunified under Israel\’s authority.

The coming Blood Moons of 2014 – 2015… These four TOTAL lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses WILL occur on the Feast of “Passover,” and the “Feast of Tabernacles”

This is the only \”tetrad\” in the near future that aligns itself with the Feasts of the Lord. One should make mention here that there are other \”tetrads\” occurring as well. One tetrad occurred in 2003 – 2004 but these do not fall on the feast days. Future ones other than the 2014 – 2015 are found in 2032-2033, 2043-2044, 2050-2051, 2061-2062, 2072-2073, and 2090-2091… The difference between these \”tetrads\” and the 2014 – 2015 \”tetrad\” is that this \”tetrad\” aligns with the Feasts of the Lord and the others DO NOT!

Putting everything into perspective… The above does not mean that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ at Tabernacles… has to occur on Tabernacles 2015. But, what the above taken as a whole does show a pattern. The \”1493 tetrad\”… is tied to the Spanish Government expelling the Jews and the discovery of America where the the persecuted Christians, even in England fled. The \”1949 tetrad\” is the nation Israel being reborn\” This also liked to a an earth shaking revival of salvation, healing, the prophetic and signs and wonders from the hands of men such as William Branham, Jack Coke. Apostle Babalola, Pa Elton and the \”1967 tetrad\” is the recapture of Jerusalem and this is also linked with the Jesus people revival , the Scripture Union revival etc…

The coming \”2014 tetrad\”… will be tied to some major event dealing with Israel and the Church. We believe that the \”tetrad\” of 2014 through 2015 will have something to do with Israel for the start. The blood moons show a pattern of Jewish persecution… and a  new outpouring for the church and for Israel may be after a time after a time of war!

This means that the blood moons of 2014 – 2015 will be a time of war or persecution for the Jewish people. This will drive them to seek for Yesua AlMassiah.  This may lead to a worldwide outpouring we have been praying for. Right now many true churches are struggling to win souls. This is a loaded time frame and everyone should watch out. The kingdom is coming democracy is going. Many of the people seeking power today are anti-Christ’s seeking to change natural use of women and men:-

Ro 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

 Ro 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

It cannot be regarded as coincidence that all four blood moons of 2014/15 occur on the feasts of the Lord, together with two eclipses of the sun also on important days in 2015. A blood moon will occur on the 14th day of Nisan in 2014, when the Passover will be celebrated in Israel (Leviticus 23:5). Nisan is the first month in Israel\’s religious calendar. On the 15th day of the seventh month (Tishri) when the Feast of Tabernacles begins (Leviticus 23:34) there will be another blood moon.

Exactly the same pattern will be repeated in 2015. Because of Israel\’s lunar calendar these dates all coincide with the full moon – on these occasions the moon will become blood-red. Apart from the lunar eclipses there will also be two eclipses of the sun in 2015… on the first day of Nisan and again on the first day of Tishri. The Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) is celebrated on 1^st Tishri, which is the beginning of their civil calendar.

The eclipses of the sun and moon confront us with precise dates which cannot be manipulated…! Nevertheless, these signs should not be seen as an attempt to date-setting for the Second Coming of Christ but rather as a wake-up call to be ready for what may happen in the near future. Now is not the time to lapse into spiritual slumber like the Matthew 25 foolish virgins.

Why do you think that such nations as Nigeria are under the attack of insurgents? It is because of the strong witness of kingdom of God here. There are some people who think Nigeria must be subdued. Christians must not go to sleep and praying for Government at a late hour.

NOTE: There is a huge difference between astrology and astronomy. Astronomy is a natural science that deals with the study of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies) and observing the cycles in the heavens. Astrology is witchcraft, where they believe the order of the stars leads them to a successful life or warns them of things coming. In biblical times, watchmen were posted on the walls surrounding the city. They not only watched for an enemy approaching, they also recorded anything happening in the night sky. From historical events on earth during the same time that unusual heavenly events were recorded, they observed a relationship pattern of occurrences relating to heaven and earth. .

God created the heavens and the earth and the sun, moon and stars are totally controlled by his power. The story of Joshua, Hezekiah and the three wise men following the star to the location where Yeshua (Jesus) was… is Bible validation of God\’s absolute control of the universe. Genesis 1:14 states that God has put lights in the firmament and let them be for \”signs.\” The Hebrew word for \”sign\” is \”owth\” which means also \”a signal.\”

There were no astronomical back-to-back blood-red moon events in the 1800s, the 1700s or the 1600s. In the 1500s, there were six… but none of those fell on Passover and Tabernacles. The 2014 / 2015 \”tetrad\” events will be the last of the century! 

In biblical prophecies there is a direct correlation between signs in heavenly bodies and distressing events happening on earth…. We are rapidly approaching the time of the fulfillment of these signs.

Mark 13:24 – 46, \”But in those days the sun shall be darkened (eclipse) and the moon shall not give its light (eclipse) then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.\”

Jesus told His disciples what would be the signs of the end of the age and some of them involved signs in the heavens he closes commanding them to ‘watch’ 4 times. To be a \”Watcher, and observe what is happening in the heavens\” relating to the Last Day, when \”unusual signs\” are seen in the heavens we watch, pray and record.

\”Does (Yahweh God) use the moon for signs-(signals)?\” Yes: Genesis 1:14, Luke 21:25.

\”Are Feasts relevant to Yahweh, and related to the moon?\” Yes: Leviticus 23.

\”Are blood-red moons prophetic in Scripture?\” Yes: Joel 2:10, 31; Acts 2:20; Revelations 6:12.

\”Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen…\” – Luke 21:36 Yeshua (Jesus) spoke those words after He warned us of many of the events that will happen in the end times. They are especially relevant to us today when we consider current headlines are now fulfilling Bible prophecy at an absolutely amazing rate — which is setting the stage for more ominous events to happen at any time. The signs are sometimes obvious, such as rumblings in the Middle East, economic turmoil, shifts in geopolitical policy, earthquakes, signs from heaven, and more. At other times, the clues are more subtle, yet equally astounding to those who know Bible prophecy.

Circumstantial evidence should also be considered… You look at the world and you hang your head in shame. It is so sad to see mankind destroying each other and choosing this world over God. In every aspect of life, we see the God of the universe and His creation on two different roads. One is filled with love, patience, kindness, and salvation, where the other is filled with hate, murder, adultery, and perversion. No wonder our world is in such a mess. Creation is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God (-Romans 8).

SHAPE YOUR DAY, MONTH AND CONSEQUENTLY YOUR YEARS

Ignorance of what every month holds for you, your family, community, nation, the church and the continent at large has caused many to perish, miss out or not fully access what God has in store for them.

Understanding the heavens and what they signify every month is another very key aspect as we enter this new level of dominion over nations. While the kingdom of darkness has used astrology, prognostications and all manner of demonic methods to control the activities on earth using the heavens, the church continues in ignorance. They have even employed materialism to blind believers in Jesus Christ.

We thank God for the many people whom He is raising in different parts of the world to understand what the heavens hold for us every month. As you seek deeper understanding, the Holy Spirit will guide you into greater revelations. Amen.
