Mars, Earth, and the Sun will all align tonight, a rare 'opposition of the planets' that only happens once every 778 days.
But what makes this so remarkable is that it comes precisely a week before everyone on earth will see the first of FOUR dark red 'blood moons', an extraordinary event some Christians believe represents the End of Days and the second coming of Christ.
The King James Bible predicts: "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD comes," [Joel 2:31].
And, according to NASA, a highly unusual 'Tetrad' - four successive total 'blood-red' lunar eclipses each followed by six full moons - will, indeed, start a week today and finish on September 28 next year.
The incredible alignment has only happened a handful of times in the last two thousand years but, remarkably, on each of the last three occasions it has coincided with a globally significant religious event.

Biblical prophecy and the Bible as a whole is filled with astronomical signs that are difficult to separate from astrology in the ancient “mundane” sense, pertaining to the fate of kings and nations and the world itself, rather than the utterly vain, more modern attempts at personal gain through “knowing” the future that are condemned by scripture.
There have been misunderstandings and wild musings about such phenomena for a very long time and no doubt there will be until the time of the end. Are these four so-called “blood moons” sort of foreboding if you accept that there have been and will be signs in the heavens? Of course. Do they mean what this man says they mean? Seems unlikely. Time will tell.
Don’t convince me, try taking that up with the guy who made the place.
For forty years I believed much as you do, but then someone (a former Catholic priest) suggested I read an old 19th century book, the short book linked below. Since I read it I have read a number of old books and grown serious about figuring out what my Baptist and Presbyterian ancestors believed and why.
For centuries Protestants were quite certain of the identity of Antichrist and I now believe they were right. They were so certain it was simply known as the “Protestant View.” Even though they differed on matters such as the mode of baptism and in their understanding of election, they were overwhelmingly united about Antichrist. The list of those who held to the “Protestant View” is a Who’s Who in Christian history through the 19th century. Almost every historic Protestant confession identified Antichrist.
If you can, try to at least read the synopsis at the beginning of the book.

Are you sure about that? If Satan’s not in the White House right now, then Satan and Bambi are very close relations.
This is circus!
And lunar eclipses are not by any means rare.

> Satan aka Anti Christ must come BEFORE our Lord does, and Satan is not here yet.
His predecessor can be found at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500, level B-4
Thanks. I searched and didn’t see your post but it’s a different article.
That is exactly what Yeshua said in Matthew 24.
The Abomination is the timepiece of the Revelation, since once it appears all else will follow as prophesied in the fall feasts to the minute.
.
Man, the earth has been around for billions of years, and I get to be here at the very moment it ends!
Just imagine the odds against that!
You’ve been reincarnated hundreds of times already. You just can’t remember it. Occassionally they screw up on the memory wipe and a hypnotist is able to draw it out of ‘em...: )
You're RIGHT! WHAT an event!!!
News at 11.
But the final of the four blood moons will be visible from Jerusalem.
In the 21 centuries since the birth of Christ there will be 62 Blood Moon Tetrads
However there will be only 8 that fall on the Feast of Passover and the Feast of the Tabernacle. The seventh fell in 1967-1968 corresponding to the joining of Jerusalem to Israel.
The Sixth fell in 1948-1949 corresponding to the rebirth of Israel.
The Fifth fell in 1493-1494 corresponding to the Spanish Inquisition and the expulsion of the Jews from Spain
The Next or Eight begins April 15 2014 on Passover. The Next will be in 500 years
I hope I got this right
Every protestant church I ever attended believed that the last pope would be the “False Prophet,” not the antichrist.
.
The Revelation seems to bear that out too.
.
THEIR choice to allow in "his hooks." THAT's the truth.
a rare ‘opposition of the planets’ that only happens once every 778 days.
****
Every two years is not RARE.
They ARE all visible from Jerusalem. TV, Internet, etc. We have apparitions and saints who warned that something like worldwide electronic communication would herald the end days.
Looks like war this year in the Middle East and major economic problems next year.
When the Lord returns evergone will know.
There will be no threads like this arguing about it.
Be ready, trust and don’t worry about anything.
Be expectant and busy at your life shining the light of
the Lord in the way we live. Cause others to seek the Lord too.
This is our job as believers.
If you don’t believe, stop putting it off and live despite the suffering
the happens to us in the flesh.If we are rapured ‘so be it, if we lose our heads, so be it. A rapture would be nice but if the end be the sword or prison I will die by the sword fighting, before going to prison then a sword.
There is nothing more important than excepting Jesus as the payment for your sin.
Every thing else is secondary.
Thanks.
