I have read several times now about the blood red moons of 2012 and 2015.

If there are any pre-Tribulation believing Christians out there, please post me your theories on this.

There are many Christians and authors who speculate the rapture may be likely during Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur (although as feast of the trumpets, I believe Rosh Hashanah is more likely).

So, that could make the fall of 2013, 2014, 2015 times of speculation. Although, the rapture could come at any time, many believe that God would select a significant Jewish calendar day to come for His own.

Any thoughts?

I have always believed that Jesus was born on a Jewish feast date, most like Feast of Trumpets.
The Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread and Feast of First Fruits are around the dates of Crucifixion, and Ressurection.
So it certainly will bear watching.

Revelation 6:12 American King James version:

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, see, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

Sounds like a solar eclipse to me. But I would think it would have to be visible from at least Israel to be considerable.

I think it more important to live a good life according to the Bible and hope when it comes you’re judged favorably.

So many people have believed it was the end when it wasn’t. There have been so many blood red moons and solar eclipses, (sun black as sackcloth). I think that is why Jesus said no one knows the day or the hour, he didn’t want us wasting time thinking too heavily on it, despairing, fearing. Best to live according to His Word and you will be on the ‘safe’ side of Armageddon.

I am a pre-Trib and I believe the Rapture will most likely take place on Rosh Hashanah. Let me give you two reasons.

In Col 2:16, 17 we are told that the new moon and the Feasts of the Lord are a shadow of things to come. Since Rosh Hashanah is the only Feast that falls on a new moon, it makes sense to pay particular attention to it. Next, because of the new moon, it may fall on the 29th or 30th day of the month, which kind of reminds me that "Of that day or hour no man knows".

Looking at the article, it seems like most of the blood-red moons fall on the 2 years following after the particular event. For example, the Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492, the blood-red moons were in 1493 and 1494. Only the 1967 war took place during the first of the 2 years. It makes you wonder, with blood-red moons coming up in 2014-2015, what is going to happen on Rosh Hashanah 2013? At the latest, what about Rosh Hashanah 2014?

One more thought. The Bible counts a generation as 70 years, doesn't it? And Jesus said that " this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place". A generation since the rebirth of the State of Israel would be 2018, so a Rapture during 2013 or 2014 would fit perfectly.

I believe more like Passover and/or Purim time. The only thing that is sure is HE is coming for us! It is exciting and comforting as we await His coming.

Titus 2:13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Phil 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

1 Corinthians 1:7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

Ephesians 2:19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household,

Philippians 1:27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel.
