first finish the planting, then go to greet him."

this whole thing about the blood moon is interesting but it seems to be out of context and not in scale with what is to take place at the end of days. sure we get blood moons throughout history and they may have some significance for events but if you look at Joel 2 (30, 31) in context with Revelation 8, a major catalysmic event occurs with the opening of the seventh seal that literally rends the earth and heavens. there is massive volcanic activity and the heavens begin to disintegrate, with some bodies falling to earth. that seems to me to be quite a different cause of a “blood moon.”

“turn to blood”

I’ve always considered it open-ended, and it could mean:

1. blood red color

2. become blood

3. turn to war

4. turn to a blood religion

There are others, but being open-ended about it is best, in my opinion.

“For My sword is satiated in heaven, behold it shall descend for judgment upon Edom, and upon the people whom I have devoted to destruction” (Isa. 34:5).

I'm not positively sure about this, but I think the sword Isaiah was referring to was a sword you would take into battle for offensive operations, it would be a long sword vs a short sword that in one big swing your enemy would be dead. From what I can predetermine, that is pretty much about how fast the Romans dealt a death blow to the Jews in Jerusalem and the surrounding area. Having done some studying on the post mil position, which Gary DeMar is I've got to come to the same conclusion that he has.
