Do the four blood moons of 2014-2015 have prophetic meaning? 1/5

There is a book which is exciting the hearts and imaginations of many Christians. It is even being remarked upon by secular people,



Death And Taxes: Pastor John Hagee sets new date for Apocalypse, based on ‘blood moons’ and Jewish holidays



By Jews,



Jewish Press: Messianic ‘Blood Moon’ Rising on Passover Seder Night



What is this book?




Four Blood Moons: Something Is About to Change



Pastor Hagee's subtitle to his book "Something is about to change" is correct. For two thousand years, things have been about to change. Paul wrote about that in 1 Corinthians 15:52, and Titus 2:13, and 1 Thessalonians 1:10, and Philippians 3:20, and Matthew 24:30, and 1 John 2:28, and Philippians 4:5... and so on. Something has always been about to change. The Lord's return for His bride (rapture) and His return in wrath and judgment (Second Coming, different from the rapture) have always loomed over us. His return is mentioned in every New Testament book except Philemon.



Pastor Hagee wrote a book that things are about to change is because he believes he knows when they are about to change. And therein is the excitement. Someone has a clue! Someone has an inside track! Someone is about to reveal when!



We long for the Lord so it's natural to long for His return when we can be with Him. (1 Thessalonians 4:18). Christians can know the season but not the hour (1 Thessalonians 5:4). Though the clues for the progress of the Tribulation are spelled out in detail (Rev 6-20, Matthew 24) the appearance of the Lord for His bride, AKA the rapture event, is not known. There are no signals and no signs to determine His coming. However, if we can see certain infrastructure being laid for the Tribulation then we can pray and hope the rapture is even nearer, since it will precede the wrath. (1 Thessalonians 5:9).



Pastor Hagee and Mark Biltz have intuited the times and have forecasted the Lord's return based on four red eclipse moons that will be appearing in 2014 and 2015. These blood moons, as they are called, are garnering special attention due to the fact that they will be occurring on Jewish feast days. Biltz and Hagee ascribe special significance to this.

This will be a five part series. The next piece will offer an overview of the blood moons- what they are and what the stance of Biltz and Hagee are. The third piece will offer a lengthy analysis of the blood moon scenario from a biblical perspective. The fourth essay will also analyze the blood moon scenario from a biblical perspective and their stance will be more conservative than the previous interpretation. The last piece will offer my opinion on it and will conclude.
