Super Blood Moon to Make Last Appearance Until 2033
NY Times (via Drudge) ^ | 9/25/15 | DANIEL VICTOR

Posted on 09/27/2015 9:05:00 AM PDT by UnwashedPeasant

A rare astronomical phenomenon Sunday night will produce a moon that will appear slightly bigger than usual and have a reddish hue, an event known as a super blood moon.

It’s a combination of curiosities that hasn’t happened since 1982, and won’t happen again until 2033. A so-called supermoon, which occurs when the moon is closest to earth in its orbit, will coincide with a lunar eclipse, leaving the moon in Earth’s shadow. Individually, the two phenomena are not uncommon, but they do not align often.

Most people are unlikely to detect the larger size of the supermoon. It may appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter, but the difference is subtle to the plain eye. But the reddish tint from the lunar eclipse is likely to be visible throughout much of North America, especially on the East Coast.

“You’re basically seeing all of the sunrises and sunsets across the world, all at once, being reflected off the surface of the moon,” said Dr. Sarah Noble, a program scientist at NASA.

Sounds like a technical impossibility to me. You see what is occurring at that moment from the vantage point of your location on Earth.

The Tetrad of Four Blood Moons: A series of four consecutive total lunar eclipses, with six full moons in between, and no intervening partial lunar eclipses, all falling on consecutive holy days of Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. This rare event has happened only seven times, so far, since 1 A.D. and has sometimes coincided with important events in Jewish history. Prophesy referenced by Wikipedia "Blood Moon Prophecy" article:
The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.
– Joel 2:31

The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
– Acts 2:20

Total Solar Eclipse of March 20, 2015

Partial Solar Eclipse of Sept. 13, 2015

Important dates:
Apr. 15, 2014 – Blood Moon (First Day of Passover) wikipedia
Oct. 8, 2014 – Blood Moon (First Day of Feast of Tabernacles) wikipedia
Mar. 20, 2015 – Equinox, New Year Total Solar Eclipse at North Pole wikipedia
Apr. 4, 2015 – Blood Moon (First Day of Passover) wikipedia
Sept. 13, 2015 – New Year Partial Solar eclipse at South Pole wikipedia
Sep. 28, 2015 – Blood Moon (First Day of Feast of Tabernacles) wikipedia

There was also the Venus/Jupiter conjunction in the Leo constellation on June 30 and July 1, 2015, that the news played up as a "Star of Bethlehem" formation repeating what had happened in 3 B.C and 2 B.C. It may have significance.

Great observations! My wife and I are those who believe God uses these astronomical events to use as a sign something major is about to happen.

Exciting/scary times that we’re living in!

The moon has inspired countless pop songs. Why just this weekend, I was listening to “Desert Moon” by Dennis DeYoung (lead singer for Styx). I used to listen to that song when it was a hit in 1984 while living in the Mojave Desert. It would get so hot during the day but so chilly at night out in the Mojave.

I encourage everyone to make it a priority to see this. It really messes with your reality. Your entire life you look up and see the white moon. Look up tonight and things are different. It is kind of nuts in my opinion. Also beautiful.

What they are not saying as it will panic us is the moon will crash into the earth. Be sure to take a selfie during the event.

A video selfie would be good because you could watch the moon get closer and closer and closer............

John Hagee to make last appearance until the next nifty astronomical event that affords him an opportunity to sell lots of books.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

“And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.

four Blood Moons doesnt equate to anything in the Bible
