Blood Moons

The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. Joel 2:31

    We are going to take a walk through prophecy over the next couple of weeks; a departure into the amazing Word of God, past, present and future. Tonight you may just be able to see what astronomers call a blood moon. They are not uncommon. When the earth moves directly between the sun and the moon and the light of the sun shines through the atmosphere of the earth, the moon appears in a reddish hue.

     Joel spoke of a time when the moon would turn to blood and Jesus answered His disciples of some of the signs of the end of the age. Jesus listed many of them, including this from Luke 21:

“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.”  Luke 21:25

     There will be a total of four blood moons in 2014 and 2015. Tomorrow we will look at the significance of these particular red moons and their dates. God is in control of His creation. If you are awake between midnight and four a.m. take a peek at one of His marvelous signs and wonders.

Dear Father in heaven,

You tell us to be aware of the signs of the times. We thank you for using us on the earth. As the day of Your coming gets a little bit closer each day, remind us to look up for our redemption is drawing near.

In Jesus name

Amen
