Genesis 1:14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years,
“Seasons” as other translations use, in Hebrew, is “appointed times”. God was setting the stage for His commanded “feasts”. Messianic Rabbi Mark Biltz was the first (to my knowledge) to point out the Tetrad. He is the one that pointed out the earlier Tetrad’s based on NASA’s findings.
What is interesting is that the eclipses did not occur prior to the events of 1492, 1948 or 1967, but after. Just as the Star of Bethlehem did not appear to the Magi prior to the birth of Yeshua, but after the fact.
Matthew 2:1-12 1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi[a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’[b]”
7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”
9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
It is my experience that Messianic Jews (Jewish people that have accepted Yeshua as their savior) have the deepest, most complete, understanding of the Bible and what God is saying/doing.
As far as Hagee, didn’t he teach replacement theology at one time?
“Astrology” as currently understood, attempting to “know” the future for personal gain, is forbidden in scripture. This leads people of good intent to condemn anything that sounds like it, even though the Bible itself is filled with what are obvious astrological references, particularly in prophecy.
The birth of Jesus Christ was heralded by astrological signs, the Magi knew it, so did Herod who ordered the killing of all male infants to try to remove the threat to him, personally. Herod behaved in the manner forbidden by scripture. The Magi did not. Both observed signs, both arrived at the same conclusion. One was not forbidden, the other was. It’s very helpful to understand the distinction.
What is the meaning of this tetrad, these four “blood moons?” It seems foreboding to those who accept that there have been and will be signs in the stars, sun and moon as the Bible tells us. It also leads to all manner of wild speculation and erroneous prognostications, from the deluded and from those seeking personal gain. There it is again, personal gain.
I don’t pretend to know what it means, or if it means anything at all. I tend to look at a few “mundane” astrologers online, who know the methods of astrology as it was practiced historically, pertaining to the fate of nations and the world, heralding the arrival of kings or the departure of them. They don’t think it’s good, but are not in agreement about anything but that it pertains to Israel in connection with the United States.
Take that for what it’s worth. Very little, to be honest. They’ve been wrong as often as right in my observation. I just watch as we’re commanded to do, and that appears to be one source of potential understanding.
