A few years ago, pastor and author John Hagee, and also author Mark Blitz, published books that both created a Blood Moon Prophecy frenzy and at the same time cashed in on the frenzy, selling millions of books that capitalized on the End Times hoopla.<\/p>\n<p>That was back in 2014. Nothing happened, other than Hagee and Blitz generating a lot of moola on the hype they had generated.<\/p>\n<p>Fast-forward to a few weeks ago. Now there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charismamag.com\/blogs\/the-strang-report\/40520-australian-pastor-trump-blood-moons-show-god-fulfilling-prophecy-right-now?fbclid=IwAR3yvcwV_I98PzpZdtjwkx5LZeyL6Maqg1nUmfhnTmO6WuYGw8K4VSzETgo\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">internet prophets<\/a> who are trying to tie this debunked Blood Moon nonsense to our current President. As if, somehow, Donald J. Trump\u2019s Presidency is the fulfillment of some Biblical Prophecy. [Hint: It\u2019s not]. But, I\u2019ve seen several posts and videos online lately that attempt to make something of the fact that there was a Blood Moon the year that Trump was born.<\/p>\n<p>So, in the interest of my own sanity, I\u2019d like to take some time to debunk [re-debunk?] this Blood Moon Prophecy garbage once more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we go too deep, here\u2019s a quick overview: A Blood Moon is simply a lunar eclipse where the moon appears red in color due to the sunlight passing through Earth\u2019s atmosphere and casting a red shadow on the moon\u2019s surface. The significance that many Christians get overly excited about is that the Jewish Feasts of Passover and Tabernacles often coincide with the appearance of Blood Moons. [More on why this happens a bit later].<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bottom line: Some want us to see these lunar events as signs that God is doing something new, or about to shake things up in the Middle East, or that Jesus is about to return, or that \u201csomething\u201d is about to happen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, these same people are also wanting us to buy their books on the subject. People like John Hagee and Mark Blitz, for example. But let\u2019s examine their arguments and see if there\u2019s anything to this hype.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>First of all, the argument in favor of the legitimacy of these Blood Moon signs hinges on the supposition that previous Blood Moon events have proven to be signs of historic significance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, they claim that there were four blood moons at Passover and Tabernacles in 1492 which coincided with the expulsion of Jews from Spain and the discovery of America by Columbus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then they say that there were four blood moons in 1948 which was a sign of the Israeli War of Independence, and that the four blood moons in 1967 was a sign of Israel\u2019s military action to repossess the Old City of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sounds convincing?\u00a0Well\u2026not exactly.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>See, the Jewish calendar is a lunar calendar.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means that their feasts and festivals always coincide with full moon events. It also means that lunar eclipses \u2013 which only occur when the moon is full \u2013 are not rare events in Jewish history. We\u2019ll examine this in more detail later, but first let\u2019s examine those historic events in light of actual evidence.<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lunar eclipse in 1492 wasn\u2019t a \u201csign\u201d of the expulsion of Jews from Spain. Why?\u00a0\u00a0Because the Tribunal that expelled them was established November 1, 1478 which occurred 15 years before the lunar eclipse. Hardly a sign or a warning is it? Plus, the Alhambra Decree, which officially ordered of expulsion of Jews from Spain, was issued in January 1492, which was about 15 months before the lunar eclipse that year.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 1948 eclipse is also not a sign of the Israeli war of independence. Why? Because that war began on May 15, 1948 and ended March 10, 1949. The first of the four lunar eclipses didn\u2019t happen until just over a month\u00a0<em>after<\/em>\u00a0the war ended. Why would God give anyone a sign about something that had already taken place? That, by definition, is not a sign from God.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 1967 eclipse is not a sign of Israeli forces taking possession of the Old City of Jerusalem. Why not? Because that took place on June 7, 1967 and the lunar eclipse took place 44 days before that day, and \u2013 most importantly \u2013 it was not visible from Jerusalem. The next set of blood moons followed over the next year and a half. Again, after the fact.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3593\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3593\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3593\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/833\/2019\/05\/trump-eclipse-moon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3593\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Donald Trump points to the sun as he arrives to view the solar eclipse, Monday, Aug. 21, 2017, at the White House in Washington. (AP Photo\/Andrew Harnik)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>So, in what way are any of these \u201csigns\u201d of anything? It\u2019s like someone shouting \u201cLook out for that car!\u201d about an hour after your car accident.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BY THE WAY: Most of these blood moon \u201csigns\u201d were not visible from Jerusalem, and\/or occured long after the events had already taken place. [Oops. So much for advance warning.]\n<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s be clear, nothing can truly be considered \u201ca sign from God\u201d unless a prophet of God speaks a prophecy \u2013 in advance of the event \u2013 and then the sign is given as a proof.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind: No prophecy preceded any of these events and no one gave these lunar eclipses and signs in advance as proofs. No one predicted that the Jews would be expelled from Spain before it happened, for example. So just because things happen we can\u2019t run around looking for signs after the fact. It doesn\u2019t work that way.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s another point: Tetrads (or the occurrence of four consecutive lunar eclipses) are very common. They are not rare. They happen very, very often, in fact. Over the last 4,000 years there have been numerous lunar tetrads (or Blood Moons) on record, and between 1999 BC and today there have been 111 Blood Moons.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you know what significant events coincided with all of those? Nothing. Because they happen all the time and are therefore not \u201csigns\u201d of anything happening in the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be like pointing to the migration of Canada Geese as a sign of some political shift in China. The two events are not related, and one of those events (the migration of Canada Geese) happens every year about the same time, regardless of what\u2019s happening in Chinese politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Of the 55 Blood Moons that have occurred since the First Century AD, there have been 7 which coincided with Jewish Holy Days, and none of them were seen as signs of anything significant at the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To put everything in another perspective, here are some very significant events in the history of the nation of Israel which DID NOT coincide with any Blood Moon signs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were no Blood Moons during:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1446 BC (Israel left Egypt in the Exodus)<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1406 BC (Joshua entered Canaan)<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">723 BC (Ten northern tribes went into Assyrian Captivity)<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">587 BC (Judah went into Babylonian captivity)<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">538 BC (Cyrus proclaims the Jews could return to Canaan)<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">533 BC (Jews began return from Babylon and arrived in Jerusalem)<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1-2 BC (Jesus was born)<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">33 AD (Jesus was crucified) *Solar, but not lunar eclipse<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70 AD (Jerusalem and the Temple destroyed by Romans)<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">135 AD (Hadrian renamed the city of Jerusalem, killed many Jews and expelled the rest)<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1943 AD (Hitler killed 6 million Jews during the Holocaust)<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put another way, here are four more examples of when Tetrads (or a series of four Blood Moons)\u00a0fell on all four Jewish feast days:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">162 AD\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">795 AD\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">842 AD\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">860 AD\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guess what significant historic events happened during these Blood Moons?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrong! Nothing happened. This is why authors like Hagee and Blitz totally ignore these, because they can\u2019t point to anything that seems to support their bogus theory.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">THE LUNAR CALENDAR<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Statistically, speaking, since Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles always happen on full moons, and take place\u00a0on the 15<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0day of two different months\u00a0within the\u00a0year, there is a 1-in-6 chance that an eclipse will occur in at least one of these festivals annually.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the twentieth century, 37 of the 230 lunar eclipses fell on either Passover and Feast of Tabernacles, which is mildly fascinating, but completely irrelevant to anyone interested in Biblical prophecy.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, in conclusion, don\u2019t waste your time \u2013 or your money \u2013 on anything related to this Blood Moon hoax. It\u2019s designed to stir up fear, and loosen your wallet. Nothing more.<\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jesus may return, but as He told us, \u201cNo man knows the day, or the hour, not even the angels in heaven, but my Father only.\u201d (Mt. 24:36)<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>But, what if something significant DOES happen in relation to these Blood Moons?<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, things happen all the time. My point is that if anything does happen in the world, we cannot point to the Blood Moons as any sort of prophetic sign.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enjoy the lunar eclipse. Take good pictures. Marvel at God\u2019s creation. But don\u2019t give in to the fear and the hype.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nThe Blood Moons are not signs of anything other than the Glory of God as the Heavens declare His majesty and pour fourth speech all day long.<\/p>\n<p>And, Donald J. Trump\u2019s birthday has zip to do with any Biblical Prophecy, no matter what they hype peddlers may want you to believe.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">**<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NOTE: This article was informed from a variety of sources, including the blog of Steve Rudd, specifically his research found\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"font-weight: 400;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bible.ca\/archeology\/jesus-christ-died-death-cross-eclipse-red-blood-moon-sun-darkness-earthquake-bodies-raised-resurrection-temple-veil-torn-in-two-centurian-son-of-god-3-april-33AD.htm#hagee\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">HERE<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0and the blog of\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"font-weight: 400;\" href=\"http:\/\/richardedmondson.net\/2013\/11\/16\/hagees-blood-moons-prophecyhoax-or-something-else\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Richard Edmondson.<\/a><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\">**<\/p>\n<p><em>Keith Giles was formerly a licensed and ordained minister who walked away from organized church 11 years ago, to start a home fellowship that gave away 100% of the offering to the poor in the community.\u00a0<\/em><em>Today, He and his wife live in Meridian, Idaho, awaiting their next adventure.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"main-post\">\n<div class=\"story-block\" data-ux-module=\"components\/PostContent\" data-ux-state=\"loaded\">\n<div class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\n<p><em>His\u00a0new book\u00a0\u201c<a class=\"decorated-link decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FJesus-Unbound-Liberating-Word-Bible%2Fdp%2F1938480325%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1%3Fie%3DUTF8%26qid%3D1539823337%26sr%3D8-1%26keywords%3Djesus%2Bunbound&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C242e12b047bf41599e4708d6468f7fb0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636773979464446529&amp;sdata=%2Bs5gpuoQzgFQoPK7xx998IZ5dX%2BqqrWdDcBzgJS2gVA%3D&amp;reserved=0\" data-auth=\"Verified\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Jesus Unbound: Liberating the Word of God from the Bible<\/strong><\/a>\u201d,\u00a0is\u00a0available now on Amazon and features a Foreword by author Brian Zahnd.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>He is also the author of the Amazon best-seller,\u00a0\u201c<a class=\"decorated-link decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FJesus-Untangled-Crucifying-Politics-Allegiance%2Fdp%2F193848021X%2Fref%3Dpd_sim_14_1%3F_encoding%3DUTF8%26pd_rd_i%3D193848021X%26pd_rd_r%3Dac14a6cf-d26e-11e8-887f-75e7a3fde4c5%26pd_rd_w%3DT4V7m%26pd_rd_wg%3DzQkQ6%26pf_rd_i%3Ddesktop-dp-sims%26pf_rd_m%3DATVPDKIKX0DER%26pf_rd_p%3D18bb0b78-4200-49b9-ac91-f141d61a1780%26pf_rd_r%3D7MPH4R45PHWWRG01E4VJ%26pf_rd_s%3Ddesktop-dp-sims%26pf_rd_t%3D40701%26psc%3D1%26refRID%3D7MPH4R45PHWWRG01E4VJ&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C242e12b047bf41599e4708d6468f7fb0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636773979464446529&amp;sdata=TbkB2qZu8mtymjq9cUl22QIyDeIXjngt%2F0nC%2BLvXMj8%3D&amp;reserved=0\" data-auth=\"Verified\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Jesus\u00a0Untangled: Crucifying Our Politics To Pledge Allegiance To The Lamb<\/strong><\/a>\u201d with a Foreword by Greg Boyd.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Keith also co-hosts the\u00a0<a class=\"decorated-link decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fheretichappyhour.com%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C242e12b047bf41599e4708d6468f7fb0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636773979464446529&amp;sdata=j98Y2xmS3jYVc2AqQDrPiQfkEcscWx71vmmTij5xfoo%3D&amp;reserved=0\" data-auth=\"Verified\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Heretic Happy Hour Podcast<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on iTunes and Podbean.\u00a0<\/em><strong><em>BONUS<\/em><\/strong><em>: Want to unlock exclusive content including blog articles, short stories, music, podcasts, videos and more?
