Introduction:
On July 27th of this year the spectacular astronomical sight will grace our Eastern Hemisphere, a Blood Moon.
“A blood moon is the definition used when the moon appears bright, large and reddish in colour, and it only occurs when there is a full moon.
The blood moon is the result of a total lunar eclipse, which is when the moon passes directly behind earth and into its shadow.”
The upcoming blood moon is not only of interest to astronomers and star-gazers, however.
It has also drawn the attention of end times speculators and pastors.
Christian John Hagee and Mark Blitz explained that this blood moon is part of a series of unique astronomical events which signal what the Bible predicts in Acts 2:20 and Revelation 6:12.
According to Mirror UK, Hagee and Blitz particularly point to what they call the “tetrad”--four consecutive lunar eclipses which began in April 2014 with six full moons in between.
So the question is asked...
Is the Upcoming July Blood Moon a Sign of the End Times?
Blood Moon is mentioned only 3x’s in scripture...
The reference in Acts and Joel are speaking of the same event.
That is why Peter and the Holy Spirit reference it.
It would be helpful to look at the context of the passage...
This is a reference to the Day of Pentecost that is happening...
Peter endowed with the power of the Holy Spirit tells the people what is going on this Pentecost day...
Peter let’s us know what Joel was referring to.
Which are the events of Pentecost in AD 33.
So we have accounted for for of the three passages with the blood moon in it.
Let’s take a look at the third...
Remember context is key, it is very easy to take one passage or part of a passage and make it mean anything you want.
Let’s start with the meaning a very big clue given to us about Revelation and when it’s events are suppose to happen.
So the events that were revealed to John were events that must soon take place and the time was near.
Armed with that info let’s go back to Rev. 6 and look at it’s context...
The beginning of this passage sounds just like another event...
The sixth seal (12-17) describes cosmic disturbances and the despair of those trying to hide from God's wrath.
Is this scene depicting the end of time (cf.
2Pe 3:7-12)?
The language is reminiscent of that describing God's judgment upon
Babylon (Isa 13:1-22)
and Samaria (Hos 10:7-8).
Jesus used similar language to warn people of the impending destruction of Jerusalem (Lk 23:28-30).
Therefore I believe it refers to judgment upon unbelieving Israel for persecuting God's people in the 1st century.
The guilty would not escape the Lamb's wrath!
Who would stand in that day?
It is a judgement that comes upon men because of the events that Jesus fulfills.
So the Blood Moon upcoming of July 27th is not a sign of the end of the world or the beginning of a new dispensation.
The Blood Moon of scripture has been fulfilled and the current and upcoming Blood Moon events are lunar occurences which will continue to happen until the Lord comes again.
Here is How to Escape the Judgment
