Total Lunar Eclipse Next Week Will Turn the Moon Blood Red (Video)

The "blood moon" total lunar eclipse will rise during the full moon of Oct. 8 just before sunrise in North America, but red might not be the only color people see during the total eclipse. Weather permitting, it's possible that some sharp-eyed observers might be able to see some blue in the moon's glow. The event will be the second of four consecutive total lunar eclipses in 2014 and 2015, according to NASA officials.

On the East Coast of the United States, totality starts at 6:25 a.m. EDT (1025 GMT), but stargazers on the West Coast of the United States will have an even better chance of seeing the rusty glow of the moon during totality. The eclipse will occur between 3:25 a.m. PDT and 4:24 a.m. PDT Wednesday. Observers in Australia and countries along the Pacific Ocean will also have the chance to see the eclipse

This is slightly off topic.

Ebola entered America on the Feast of Trumpets.

That is the first day of this current Shemitah year.

Do you expect 2000 and 3500 year old texts to have the word nuclear?

When it is both the sun and the moon affected, it is obviously atmospheric blockage producing the darkening.

The red darkening of the sun and moon have been observed from nuclear blasts.

Do you think John also saw scorpions with men’s faces flying, or was it military helicopters? (or?)

A blood moon, Biblically, is due to the airborne debris of nuclear war darkening the sun and moon. .

Clearly you are confusing the plain text with
either your own or someone else's speculation.

This could have numerous causes, not just nuclear weapons. Volcanic activity, a large meteor strike or strikes, even very large forest fires. You're reading something explanatory into the text that actually isn't there. I tend to lean toward a large meteor strike due to other passages that would appear to support such an explanation. A burning mountain falling into the sea, opening the pit, etc.

.
No, I'm not.

If you read the whole chapter 6, the description of a large number of incoming ICBMs is apparent:

Rev 6:

[13] And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.


Obviously, the stars are not falling from heaven, if one star even got close the entire solar system would be burned up. It was the appearance as though stars were falling from heaven as the missiles re-enter the atmosphere in large numbers. Don't read the word blindly, read some known reality into the words of a man that had never seen the things that he was seeing.

That could be a number of things, too. You’re reading one plausible explanation into the text. But, it’s speculative and not really in there. Time will tell.

So you do not hold the belief that the Revelation was written to a generation that would be able to understand what John was seeing?

You do not believe that our God informs his elect so that they can be prepared, and their faith will not “wax cold?”

Is the Revelation not really a revelation at all?

Is it meant to be a complete mystery, even to his elect?

What else would you ‘speculate’ is incomming?

What are you prepared for?

Do you believe that the Revelation really is a revelation, or is it a joke on all of mankind, even his elect?

You’ve really bought into one particular interpretation of prophecy that is not written in the scripture, editor-surveyor. If you’d care to take it at the most literal, stars falling out of the sky would be what is known colloquially as falling stars.

There are blood moons for any number of reasons, from eclipse to forest fires to anything else that puts large amounts of smoke, dust and debris into the atmosphere, for which there are multiple possibilities.

I believe Revelation is prophecy from God. What do you believe it is, a paperback book written in the seventies by Hal Lindsey?

You are the one that appears to be the Lindsey-ite.

The Revelation is God’s message to his elect, and should be understandable in detail to his elect.

The Lindsey kooks think that Revelation doesn’t matter, because they have imagined up a “pre-trib rapture” that is nowhere to be found in the Bible.

Are you going to be surprised when “Antichrist” shows up exactly at Purim?

Will you be ready when Yeshua and his angels appear in the cloud at the new moon of Yom Teruah 1335 days later?

Or are you hiding under the table?

I have no particular vested interest in which interpretation of the relevant passages in Revelation eventually turns out to be true, but I do lean toward a meteor strike because that appears to most closely match several different passages.

As for yourself, you’re going to the mat defending one possibility out of many that could potentially occur in fulfillment of the described passages.

I hope the pre-Trib rapture people are right but am attempting to prepare myself for the possibility of persecution. It could happen at any time up to the Wrath, as far as what I can tell, from reading and listening to others.

There are reasonable, scriptural justifications for several positions there as well.

I do not find this combativeness regarding end times prophecy particularly enjoyable or persuasive. I leave the door open for any possibility that can be reasonably supported via scripture, and rule out those that cannot be.

What you’re apparently insisting upon cannot be ruled out, but it’s far from the only possible explanation.

Please leave it at that.

We need not fear the wrath of God at all.

That is the ten days after the trib is over, and we are on the sea of fire and glass.

If we obey his commandments, we need not have any fear of the trib either, although we must go through it if we are alive. He promised the Philadelphian church that because they kept his commandments he would protect them through that “hour of temptation.”

Faith is the key. (and love is the key to strong faith)

What is a Blood Moon?

Why does the moon look red during a total lunar eclipse?

If you carefully read the articles,
you will find out
that if there is added ash in the sky,
the moon goes dark or black not red.

Simply not so!

I have observed both the sun and the moon through the dense cloud of a nearby forest fire, from my ranch, numerous times.

They are always deep red, not just the light vermilion red of a lunar eclipse.

So who am I to believe ?

An organization committed to observing and
commenting on the cosmos for the last thirteen years

or

someone who claims to have observed forest fires
and can then generalize to lunar eclipses ?

Not without your CV, Cattell and Ishihara scores.

Have you become a catholic lately?

You seem to be playing games.
