 Shalom Partner and Friend of
We found the "blood-red moon" work interesting and began looking into possible
connections to past and future "Jewish Feasts"… and to our amazement found there
are very significant connections and trust that you will find this teaching fascinating too!
"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
"The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before that great
and glorious Day of the Lord." Acts
The Jewish Talmud (book of tradition / Interpretation) says; "When the moon is in
eclipse, it is a bad omen for
the sword is coming to the world."Therefore: Lunar Eclipse = bad omen for
the Jewish people and
= bad omen for the world.
Four, blood moons on Jewish Feast days within two years in
and has only occurred seven times since the time of Yeshua (Jesus). 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 Jewish feast days a big event
affects the nation of
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.
It was confirmed by NASA that we have had "blood-red moons" on the
first day of Passover and thefirst day of Sukkoth 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) , 1948 (statehood for
most significant days in Jewish history. According to NASA - Four
'blood-red' TOTAL lunar eclipses WILL fall again onPassover and Sukkoth 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 Sukkoth, 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)yom sheni = "second day" = (Monday) yom sh'lishi = "third day" = (Tuesday) yom revi'i = "fourth day" = (Wednesday) yom chamishi = "fifth day" = (Thursday) yom shishi = "sixth day" = (Friday) Yom Shabbat = "Seventh day" = (Saturday) The week culminates in the seventh day, the Holy Shabbat (shabbat kodesh, abbreviated.) However the days are always based upon the Bible (evening then morning) Genesis 1:5. The Week that changed the world...
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." This means
it was Preparation d
ay was Thursday (beginning Wednesday evening) and Friday (beginning Thursday
evening) is the day before Sabbath which begins at sundown on Friday night until Saturday
(Sabbath) evening.
Many believe that (Yeshua) Jesus was crucified on the Passover, Friday, then buried later
that (Friday) afternoon or evening before the Sabbath (Saturday) began, and then rose from
the dead the first day of the week (Sunday). How could there be a fulfilment of Jesus'
prediction that He would be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth? What
exactly does this mean? Three literal 24- hour day or a statement related to a certain time
period?
How can we fit three days and three nights between a Friday afternoon crucifixion and
an Easter Sunday sunrise? The fact is… we can't! So how can we determine the truth
about when Yeshua (Jesus) was crucified and resurrected? How long was Christ in the tomb?
The fact is… we can't! How long was Yeshua (Jesus Christ) in the tomb? When we
compare this to what Yeshua (Jesus) Himself said about how long He would be
entombed... we find a major contradiction. How long did Yeshua (Jesus) say He would
be in the grave? "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish
, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth," Matthew
12:40. It had to be three nights and three days... because the Lord said so. Please see the
picture diagram further below.
Matthew 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 according to the
Bible ...and according to the New Testament - since Saturday (Sabbath day) is the 7th day.
We read in John 19 31; "Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the
bodies (of those crucified) shouldnot remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath
was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken (to hasten death
before the Sabbath), and that they might be taken away." In the Jewish culture of that time,
the chores of cooking and housecleaning were done on the day before a Sabbath to
avoid working on God's designated day of rest. Thus the day before the Sabbath was
commonly called "the preparation day." Clearly the day on which Christ was crucified and
His body placed in the tomb was the day immediately preceding a Sabbath. T
he question is, which Sabbath? Most people assume John is speaking of the regular
weekly Sabbath day, observed from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. From John's clear
statement here, most people assume Jesus died and was buried on a Friday... thus the
traditional belief that Jesus was crucified and died on "Good Friday." Most people have
no idea that the Bible talks about two kinds of Sabbath days… (1) the normal weekly
Sabbath day that falls on the seventh day of the week (not to be confused with Sunday -
which is the first day of the week), (2) and seven annual Sabbath days, listed in
Leviticus 23 and mentioned in various passages throughout the Bible that could fall on
any day of the week. Thus here we have... The Passover Sabbath and then the normal
Shabbat or Sabbath day!
Yeshua rose on the first day of a new week which is the eighth day (if Saturday is the s
eventh day then Sunday must be the eighth day). In other words, we do believe that
(Yeshua) Jesus rose on the third day... the third day after he was in the grave three days
and three nights ...and the third day was when He rose from the dead. It wasn’t eight
days... but from another standpoint, even a biblical stand point; He was the
FIRSTFRUITS, firstborn of a new creation... figuratively the eighth day but literally the first...
that’s referred to in the Bible as a "new beginning."
Other examples of significance of eight... 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
the new or re-generated world. Hence, too, circumcision was to be
performed on the "eighth day" (Genesis
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
. This is connected with the new creation. The first-born was to be given to Jehovah on the
"eighth day" (Exodus
signified when He rose from the dead on "the first day of the week," (Mark 16:9) that
was of necessity the "eighth day."
The "Passover" week that changed the world…
 Understanding Blood Moon Tetrads...
Tetrad: When four consecutive lunar eclipses are all total eclipses, the group is known
as a tetrad.
The Saros Cycle: is an eclipse cycle with a period of about 18 years 11 days
8 hours (approximately 65851/3 days) that can be used to predict eclipses of the
Sun and Moon. One cycle after an eclipse… the Sun, Earth, and Moon return to
approximately the same relative geometry, and a nearly identical eclipse will
occur west of the original location.
Tishri: Is the seventh month of the religious year for
the civil year for
and Tabernacles (also known as Sukkoth).
Rosh Hashanah: This is a two day feast occurring on Tishri 1 and Tishri 2 of the
Hebrew calendar. This is also called the feast of trumpets. A lot of people believe '
this feast day is tied to the rapture of the Christian Church prior to the start of the
tribulation.
Yom Kippur: This is known as the Day of Atonement. It is considered to be one
of the most important of Jewish Holidays of the year. It is a day set aside to atone
for the sins of the past year. It occurs on the 10th day of Tishri. It is found in
Leviticus 23:26-32.
Sukkoth (Tabernacles): The feast of Sukkoth begins on Tishri 15, the fifth day of
Yom Kippur. It is a joyous feast day while Yom Kippur is one of the most solemn
of feast days. Sukkoth is a feast day with a festival atmosphere. It marks a
season of rejoicing. Sukkoth means booths and refers to temporary dwelling
places the Jews gather into during this holiday. Most Christian Scholars believe the
"Feast of Sukkoth" is the feast for the 2nd Advent of the Lord Jesus Christ when he
returns with his saints on white horses at Armageddon.
AV: Av is the fifth month of the Hebrew Calendar. It is a time of mourning for
the Jews. There are two festivals that are in Av; on the 9th and on the 15th. On the
9th of Av is Tisha B' Av which is a sad day when Jews fast. It recalls the two
temples being destroyed and commemorates other tragic events throughout
Jewish History. The other festival which happens in Av… is Tu B' Av. This is
a happy occasion in which couples traditionally get together to arrange their wedding.
Nissan: The first month of the Jewish Religious Year - this occurs in the spring time.
Passover Occurs on the 15th day of this month.
Passover: The Hebrew feast day commemorating the Lamb Sacrifice in Exodus
where the Angel of Death passed over
It also is the same day the Lord Yeshua (Jesus Christ), our lamb sacrifice for sins,
was crucified.
Four PARTIAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover in 32 AD –
33 AD and the "Feast of Tabernacles" in the years before and after the
Crucifixion of Yeshua HaMashiach (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 Jewish Passover and Feast of
Tabernacles in 162 - 163 AD, coinciding with the worst persecution of Jews…
and Christians in the history of the

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
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 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
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
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

population at the time).

The coming Blood Moons of 2014 – 2015… These four TOTAL
lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses WILLoccur on the Jewish
holidays of "Passover," the "Feast of Tabernacles" and the "Feast of Trumpets."
 This is the only "tetrad" in the near future that aligns itself with the Jewish holidays. One should make mention here that there are other "tetrads" occurring as well. One tetrad occurred in 2003 - 2004. 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 Jewish holidays and the others DO NOT!
Putting everything into perspective… The above does not mean that the
Second Coming of Yeshua (Jesus Christ) at Tabernacles… has to occur on

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

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.
(
cycle by their leap years).
The Jews require a sign… If it does line up with
wilderness,
show them that the time for their redemption is near.
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 wise men following
the star to the location where Yeshua (Jesus) was… is Bible validation of
God's absolute control of the universe. Genesis
lights in the firmament and let them be for "signs." The Hebrew word for "sign"
is "owth" which means also "a signal."
Other interesting facts:
1. Passover is the first annual feast.
2. Sukkoth is the seventh and final annual feast.
3. AV is a month of mourning for the Jews.
4. The 17th of Tammuz to the 9th of Av is a 21-day period of mourning for
the Jewish people.
5. The next seven year cycle began on Rosh Hashanah on
6. The sabbatical year in the seven-year cycle begins on Rosh Hashanah on
moons' connection to Passover and Sukkoth. During this century, the only
string of four consecutive blood moons that coincide with God's holy days of
Passover in the spring… and the autumn's Feast of Tabernacles (also called
Sukkoth) occur in 2014 and 2015 on today's Gregorian calendar.
7. 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 Sukkoth. 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 fulfilment of these signs.
 Mark 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."
Yeshua (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.
"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
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
s setting the stage for more ominous events to happen at any time. The signs
are sometimes obvious, such as rumblings in the
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 day when the Father will make all things
new.
