The Incurable Curiosity of the Cosmos: Vol. I

Many of you might remember the “blood moon” craze that swept through all the eschatological circles several years ago (2012-2015). If you don’t remember or weren’t a prophecy watcher back then, there was a series (tetrad) of four blood moons that fell upon the Jewish feast dates of Passover and Tabernacles. To be honest, I didn’t think much of it back then and still don’t today. Neither do I think I ever wrote about them, and if I did, I was not promoting it I can assure you. Nevertheless, from what I hear, a couple of fellas sure were able to sell a lot of books because of it.

The next major craze that came through was the Revelation-12 movement (2015-2017). This new one seemed to find its fulfillment/alignment on or about September 23rd, 2017. This was largely centered on the literal fulfillment of the symbolic imagery spoken of in Revelation 12:1-2. Although I did write about this, it was not a wholesale endorsement. I was angrier at the various discernment police teams running around throwing cold water on everyone prematurely and indiscriminately than I was the groups and individuals who were actually talking about this.

For one, none of the serious persons and groups who were actually talking about Revelation 12 were saying the Rapture was going to happen that day. Nor were they even sure something would happen that day. They were doing what a lot of us are prone to do, which is, speculating on possibilities, and just being excited about the possibility that something could happen. Can’t really fault people for being excited about the Bible and the return of Christ.

On the other hand, perhaps there was some significance to the “blood moon tetrad” and the Revelation 12 thingy…and we don’t fully understand, or cannot see all the connections yet. For the record, I am not dismissing discernment ministries for throwing caution out there. All I was saying then, is the same thing that I am saying now, which is what the late, great Chuck Missler use to say by the quote: He who answers a matter before he hears it, It is folly and shame to him (Prov. 18:13).

Nevertheless, for those of us interested in all things prophecy, we are usually the same type of Christians who want to piece together as much as the last day’s events as possible, because God has stirred our hearts to want to understand the times in which we live because we long for the return of our Savior, Jesus Christ. But one of the most important things it seems we all missed (or at least I did) during all this time regarding the eclipses, blood moons, and Rev 12 hype, was in fact, the biggest sign of all, the moon itself; literally speaking, the moon should not exist!

[For all the ultra-conservative discernment ministries out there who are quick to pounce on anyone who even dares mention outer space, this next section is for you]

Although we see it every night, most people do not give much thought about the moon…but perhaps they should. It is one of the biggest enigmas mankind has ever known. Below are a list of quotes from (to my knowledge) non-Christians, but undoubtedly qualified experts in their respective fields who have also pondered about our moon’s existence, composition, and behavior. Quotes and citations collected from Source–

Isaac Asimov is an American author, professor of biochemistry at Boston University, and Science Fiction writer. Asimov was one of the most prolific writers of all time.

“We cannot help but come to the conclusion that the Moon by rights ought not to be there. The fact that it is, is one of the strokes of luck almost too good to accept… Small planets, such as Earth, with weak gravitational fields, might well lack satellites… In general then, when a planet does have satellites, those satellites are much smaller than the planet itself. Therefore, even if the Earth has a satellite, there would be every reason to suspect… that at best it would be a tiny world, perhaps 30 miles in diameter. But that is not so. Earth not only has a satellite, but it is a giant satellite, 2160 miles in diameter. How is it then, that tiny Earth has one? Amazing.”

“The Moon, which has no atmosphere and no magnetic field, is basically a freak of nature”

“The best possible explanation for the Moon is observational error – the Moon doesn’t exist.’

“The Moon is bigger than it should be, apparently older than it should be, and much lighter in mass than it should be. It occupies an unlikely orbit and is so extraordinary that all existing explanations for its presence are fraught with difficulties are none of them could be considered remotely watertight.”

The Moon has astonishing synchronicity with the Sun. When the Sun is at its lowest and weakest in mid-winter, the Moon is at its highest and brightest, and the reverse occurs in mid-summer. Both set at the same point on the horizon at the equinoxes and at the opposite point at the solstices. What are the chances that the Moon would naturally find an orbit so perfect that it would cover the Sun at an eclipse and appear from Earth to be the same size? What are the chances that the alignments would be so perfect at the equinoxes and solstices?

“I’m terribly puzzled by the rocks from the Moon and in particular of their titanium content.”

Said the problem was that Maria plains the size of Texas had to be covered with melted rock containing fluid titanium. He said you would not expect titanium ever to be hot enough to do that, even on Earth, and no one has ever suggested that the Moon was hotter than the Earth.

"What could distribute titanium in this way? Highly advanced technology developed and operated by entities that are immensely more technologically advanced than humans.”

Ken Johnson, Supervisor of the Data and Photo Control department during the Apollo missions

Moon rocks have been found to contain processed metals, including brass and mica, and the elements Uranium 236 and Neptunium 237 that have never been found to occur naturally.

“it would seem that the Moon is more like a hollow than a homogenous sphere’. He surmised that the data must have been wrong – but it wasn’t.”

“The Lunar Orbiter experiments had vastly improved knowledge of the Moon’s gravitational field and indicated the frightening possibility that the Moon might be hollow.”

“We knew that the Moon’s core was small, but we didn’t know it was this small… This really does add weight to the idea that the Moon’s origin is unique, unlike any other terrestrial body.”

The Apollo 12 mission to the Moon in November 1969 set up seismometers and then intentionally crashed the Lunar Module causing an impact equivalent to one ton of TNT. The shockwaves built up for eight minutes, and NASA scientists said the Moon rang like a bell.

“As for the meaning of it, I’d rather not make an interpretation right now, but it is as though someone had struck a bell, say, in the belfry of the a church a single blow and found that the reverberation from it continued for 30 minutes.”

Ken Johnson, Supervisor of the Data and Photo Control department during the Apollo missions

“The Moon not only rang like a bell, but the whole Moon wobbled in such a precise way that it was almost as though it had gigantic hydraulic damper struts inside it.”

He said: “This was one of those extraordinary things. When you had the impact of these things on the moon, unlike a terrestrial earthquake, which dies away quickly, the shock waves continued to reverberate around the moon for a period of an hour or more, and this is attributed to the extremely dry nature of the lunar rock.

Dr. D L Anderson, Professor of geophysics and director of the seismological laboratory, California Institute of Technology

“The Moon is made inside out and that its inner and outer compositions should be the other way around.”

“It seems much easier to explain the nonexistence of the moon than its existence.”

The numerous convex Moon craters- shaped out, rather than in (from impacting meteors)

Charles A. Wood, of the Department of Geological Sciences at Brown University, wrote in a 1978 paper that these convex craters were likely created by lava. He said the lava seeped up through fractures to the surface.

NASA– “The moon stabilizes Earth’s wobble, which has led to more stable climate,”

“[The moon adds] drag to the Earth’s rotation in the form of tides, both oceanic and internal. This added drag tends to stabilize the rotation. It is also gradually slowing down the rotation of the Earth, which gradually lengthens Earth days.”

The same numbers come up in looking at measurements related to the moon, sun, and Earth. The diameter of the sun is about 400 times the diameter of the moon; the moon is also about 400 times closer to Earth than the sun. The diameter of the sun is about 108 times the diameter of the Earth; the distance between the Earth and the sun is about 108 times the diameter of the sun.

Mean distance from sun to Earth (it is sometimes closer, sometimes further): 92,900,000 miles (149,600,000 kilometers)

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; Gen 1:14

From a Christian perspective, we understand that the universe did not come about by accident. We understand that according to Scripture, history, the laws of nature, and the presence of creation itself, a Creator must be necessary. So part of these secular scientists’ problem, is that they start their paradigm from a position that all this must have happened unintentionally, thus, the moon’s existence is as Isaac Asimov once said, a stroke of good luck. We know that the Moon exists because a Creator purposefully put it there.

So, having lived through the blood moon phase and the Rev12 sign phase, and gotten the t-shirt and bumper sticker to prove it, what do we make of the moon? From an eschatological perspective, one might wonder what significance the Moon does play in Bible prophecy. What does Scripture say?

The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. Joel 2:31

The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. Acts 2:20

[Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances] I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. Revelation 6:12

Knowing what we know now, that the moon is NOT made of green cheese and is dry and quite possibly hollow, how can the Moon be turned to blood? Scientifically, we know that the sky is not really blue, but appears that way because of the way the light particles hitting and interact with the air and dust make the waves of light appear to our eyes.

Similarly, the moon will appear to be the color of blood, due to the obscurations in the atmosphere caused by the events happening on earth. If we look at the passages above and take them in reverse order, we see that this portends to either geologic and volcanic activity or some type of nuclear exchange that can cause that level of atmospheric obscuration. This will cause the sun to appear darkened, and the moon to appear a blood-red color. Understanding that the Day of the Lord speaks to both the general time frame, and to a specific day will help us clarify how these three passages work in concert sequentially. In order-

Revelation 6:12 is speaking to the timeframe, but explains the why (the great earthquake) the sun is darkened and the moon is discolored

Acts 2:20 is a paraphrase of Joel 2:31, which both speaks to THE Day of the Lord (note it's referred to as ‘great and awesome’) which means it’s not being used in the general time frame, but to the actual day of the Second Coming at Armageddon.

So understanding that we will turn in the next volume to the topic of how Satan will use the cosmos to bring on great deception in the last day's deception.

I'll think I'll just drop this here..

Genesis 1:3-1:4 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

***

ויאמר אלהים יהי אור ויהי־אור וירא אלהים את־האור כי־טוב

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good = 1776

וירא אלהים את־האור כי־טוב ויבדל אלהים בין האור ובין החשך

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness = 1776

<< because of the way the light particles hitting and interact with the air and dust make the waves of light appear to our eyes. >>

The white light from the sun is absorbed by molecules of nitrogen and oxygen (and tiny particles) in our atmosphere. The absorbed energy is immediately emitted, spherically, in all directions.

The law of light scattering is that blue rays are scattered 16 times as much as the rays at the red end of the spectrum. (The intermediate colored rays are also scattered in proportion to their wavelengths.)

Sunsets, in which the sun’s rays travel in a straight line from the sun to our eyes, appear red/orange because the blue rays are mostly removed by scattering.

The blue sky above us, which we view at an angle close to 90 degrees to the direction of the sun’s rays, results from the greater scattering of blue light, the red rays continuing straight back into space.

This is all very interesting in light of this thread and the link in it to a book called “The Ganymede Hypothesis”.

The Ganymede Hypothesis
(Basic intro to the theory on you tube)

Our system several tens of thousands of years ago was a double system, consisting of a bright northern part involving our present sun and Jupiter along with its moons, and a very darkish southern system containing the four bodies with the roughly 26-degree axis tilts.
