Another viewpoint - from Scripture alone:
BLOOD MOON TETRADS?
Or, Malaki 4:4-6?
We are seeing everyone talking about the “four blood moons."
Four?
It dawned on me they were neglecting to mention Malaki 4:4-6, the real
preparation we should be focused on as watchmen.
Yahusha gave us forewarning
of being led astray (off the path) by false teachers, and it's usually by
misdirection and distractions. Now it's the Blood-Moonies trying to scare
us.
The teachers imparting the "blood moon tetrads" as being highly significant
claim they can't tell you when the next new moon will be, because they have
to "sight" it - it cannot be predicted. What?
And yet, they know when the eclipses will occur, when the Earth passes
between the sun and moon, causing the diffraction of the light passing
through the Earth's atmosphere to make the moon appear reddish. This is
caused by a spectral diffraction as the sun's light is bent by the
atmosphere of our planet, but if the sun is darkened, this would not be able
to occur as they expect. They are leaving part of the prophecy out, leading
astray the unwary who do not study and test everything on their own. Notice
the word "immediately" in the following text:
“And immediately
after the
distress
of those days the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give its
light and the stars shall fall from the heavens, and the powers of the
heavens shall be shaken."
Mt 24:29
In the prophecy, the sun will be darkened, and all of this occurs AFTER the
"distress". Yahusha said nothing about advance notice, but He said “When you
see these things”. The statement “when you
see these” is clearly not a
matter of predicting anything, it's actually happening
as
we're watching.
We'll be seeing them happen.
What “things”? Surely, not blood moon tetrads, since He warned us we would
first be deceived, then a great distress would occur, and “after the
distress” the sun would be darkened, and the moon would not give its light.
The moon will not “turn to blood” twice, or three or four times; it will
turn to blood only once Yual (Joel) 2:31, Acts 2:20, Rev 11:6). Oddly, the
majority of Natsarim cannot even identify "when" the next moon will become
new, yet they are falling all over themselves to teach and share the "blood
moon tetrad" hoax, before a "blood moon" even appears.
We can sense we are being led astray, and Yahusha forewarned us.
"Immediately" is an overlooked word in the following verses:
"And
immediately after the distress
(tribulation, pressure) of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the
moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and
the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
And
then the sign of the Son of Adam shall appear in the heaven,
and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son
of Adam coming on the clouds of the heaven with power and much esteem.
And He shall send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one
end of the heavens to the other.
And learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has
already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is
near.
So you also, when you see all these, know that He is near, at the
doors.
Truly, I say to you, this generation shall by no means pass away
until all this takes place." Mt. 24:29-34
I suggest that we remember the
Torah of Mosheh
instead (Malaki 4:4-6), and
let Yahusha see us obeying rather than running up and down telling people
He's coming. We already know that; but we are to help them prepare. Our
energies are best served explaining the Commandments, rather than explaining
when the moon is going to change color.
BLOOD-MOONIES
Are they still scaring you with the four "blood moons?"
Focusing only on certain words of Yual/Joel 2 and Acts 2, Blood-Moonies miss
the fact that the sun is darkened when the moon turns to blood (only once).
The prognosticators are describing "blood moons" (plural), and these occur
during normal orbital circumstances when the moon is in the Earth's shadow.
