"Is Jesus Going To Return During The Blood-red Moon Of 2015?" by OLAADEGBU(m): 12:45pm On Oct 20, 2014
Question: "Is Jesus going to return during the blood-red moon of 2015?"

Answer: Gaining in popularity today is the teaching that a series of blood-red moons in the next two years will be a portent of Jesus’ second coming and a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Astronomical charts show four lunar eclipses will occur from 2014 to 2015. Because a full lunar eclipse often makes the moon look red or orange, it is sometimes referred to as a “blood moon” or “blood-red moon.” Some teachers of prophecy say that this tetrad of blood moons will fulfill end-times prophecies in Joel and Revelation.

What has interested prophecy teachers is not just the number of lunar eclipses in the next two years but the timing of the eclipses. In both 2014 and 2015, a full lunar eclipse will occur on the first day of Passover and the first day of Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles). In addition to the two lunar eclipses of 2015, two solar eclipses will also occur. Similar lunar eclipses in back-to-back years have happened seven times since the time of Christ. Some of those have occurred in years of significance for the Jewish people, such as 1948 (when Israel was granted statehood) and 1967 (when the Six-Day War was fought).

References to a moon like “blood” are found in two passages of the Bible. Joel 2:30–31 says, “I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” In Revelation 6:12, John describes one of the seal judgments of the Tribulation: “I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.” Other passages refer to the moon being “darkened” (Matthew 24:29; Joel 2:10).

A tetrad of lunar eclipses—and the timing of those eclipses in the Jewish calendar—is fairly unusual, but not unprecedented. So the fact of the eclipses, while interesting, is no proof that Jesus will return by 2015. Furthermore, John’s and Joel’s descriptions of the signs of the Day of the Lord could refer to solar and lunar eclipses, but there are other possible explanations for those phenomena, such as changes in the atmosphere (mentioned in Revelation 6:12).

The blood-red moon theory is just that—a theory. Even as a theory, it comes close to doing what the Bible warns against: setting dates for the coming of the Lord. “About that day or hour no one knows” (Mark 13:32).

No one knows the exact time nor the hour that the Son of God will return.

With this, live each day as though it'll be your last day on earth smiley

Jesus spoke in the language of the ordinary people of his time. Phrases as 'no one knows the day of hour', 'the last trumpet' etc. are actually references to specific time periods; Jewish feast times.

We can know when He will return, we are actually in the season of His return.

Scare tactics for those who lack the understanding of what is really about to happen.

The world is not ending, the world will never end. What is about to happen is a paradigm shift of world leadership, from evil to good, from merciless to merciful. It is the return of king Nebuchadnezzer to the throne (that figurative story in Daniel 4 has 2 layers of meaning).

Make peace with God and just watch. No one is scaring anyone. wink

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Here's my 2 cents on this matter: pick it up or just leave it alone.

So I'm assuming you believe fully in Jesus and his manifestations. Since this is the case, He (Jesus) made reference to the fact that "...no one knows the hour, save the Father...". In simple terms, we cannot be able to phantom the exact hour of the Second coming. Here's where it gets interesting for Christians...

Since God's word (Jesus said he only speaks what the Father tells him to) cannot return to him void and "for 2 immutable things it's impossible for God to lie...", it means even if the blood moon was planned as the actual time for his coming, smart folks like you have made heaven reschedule it's rapture itinerary.

...So NO! second coming ain't happening next year - probably thanks to people like the Op.

The least that I know is that the Second coming will only take place 7 years after the rapture.

@topic
the concept of the blood red-moon is one of the biblical concept depicting the SIGNS or NEARNESS of his comings and God's covenant with israel during the passover and the tabernacles.It does not necessarily mean Christ is coming 2015 but that the end is nearer than we think

Sure bro, the rapture. The second coming occurs about seven years after the rapture. So, 2015 cannot be the second coming.

That is so true brother. The rapture, which is the first phase of His Second coming can take place anytime from now.
