BY MICHAEL SNYDER · SEPTEMBER 2, 2013
Is Israel going to be involved in a war during the blood red moons of 2014 and 2015? According to ancient Jewish tradition, a lunar eclipse is a harbinger of bad things for Israel. If that eclipse is blood red, that is a sign that war is coming. And blood red moons that happen during Biblical festivals seem to be particularly significant. There was a “tetrad” of blood red moons that fell during Passover 1967, the Feast of Tabernacles 1967, Passover 1968 and the Feast of Tabernacles 1968. And of course the 1967 war during which Israel took full control of Jerusalem took place during that time period. There was also a “tetrad” of blood red moons that fell during Passover 1949, the Feast of Tabernacles 1949, Passover 1950 and the Feast of Tabernacles 1950. If you know your history, you already are aware that the Israeli War of Independence ended on July 20th, 1949. So does the blood red moon tetrad of 2014 and 2015 signal that another season of war is now upon us?
The upcoming blood red moon tetrad was discovered by Pastor Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries. He found that this is a very rare event that has only happened seven times since the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This upcoming blood red moon tetrad will be the eighth occurrence. The following is a chart of the upcoming tetrad that Pastor Biltz created…
For a more extensive explanation of the blood red moon tetrad phenomenon, please see the video posted below where Pastor Biltz discusses it in more detail…

But what Pastor Biltz does not mention is that blood red moons are considered to be an omen of war for Israel according to ancient Jewish tradition.
This ancient tradition is even recorded in the Jewish Talmud. The following is from an article by Alf and Julie Saunders…
The Jewish Talmud (book of tradition / Interpretation) says; “When the moon is in eclipse, it is a bad omen for Israel. If its face is as red as blood, (it is a sign that) the sword is coming to the world.” Therefore: Lunar Eclipse = bad omen for the Jewish people and Israel; Blood Moon = sword coming; Solar Eclipse = bad omen for the world.
Of course the Jewish Talmud is most definitely NOT scripture, but it is very interesting to note that Jews have considered blood red moons to be a sign that “the sword is coming to the world” for a very, very long time.
And it is also important to note that all of the blood red moon tetrads over the past 2000 years have fallen during very important time periods when blood was shed.
For example, there was a blood red moon tetrad during the 32 AD/33 AD time period. Many believe that this is the time period when the crucifixion of Jesus took place. The following is another chart from Pastor Biltz…
And this pattern holds up during other red moon tetrads as well.
The following is an excerpt from an article by Alf and Julie Saunders…
Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover and Feast of Tabernacles in 162 – 163 AD, coinciding with the worst persecution of Jews… and Christians in the history of the Roman Empire. Within 3 years the Antonine Plague killed eight million people, a third of the population.
Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover and Yom Kippur Holidays in 795 – 796 AD while King Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire established a DMZ buffer zone between France and Spain, ending centuries of Arab invasions into Western Europe.
Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover and Yom Kippur Holidays in 842 – 843 AD. Shortly after the eclipses the Vatican church in Rome was attacked and looted by an Islamic invasion from Africa.
Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover and Yom Kippur Holidays in 860 – 861 AD. Shortly after the eclipses the Byzantine Empire defeated Arab armies at the Battle of Lalakaon in Turkey and permanently stopped the Islamic invasion of Eastern Europe.
Pretty compelling, eh?
Prior to the last century, the last red moon tetrad happened during 1493 and 1494…
Four TOTAL lunar eclipses occurred on the Jewish Passover and the Feast of Trumpets Holidays in 1493 – 1494.Only months after King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain ordered all Jewish people to leave the country (after about 200 AD, Spain became and remained a second Jewish homeland for well over a millennia. So deeply woven into the fabric of Spain are the Jews that neither history can be fully studied without considering the influence of the other).
The chart below summarizes much of what was discussed above. Could we see a major war involving Israel during this next tetrad?…
We certainly seem to be entering a season of war. The Obama administration seems absolutely determined to attack Syria, and U.S. forces are rapidly moving into position.
But if the U.S. attacks Syria, there is a very good chance that Syria will attack Israel. In fact, Syria has already released a list of potential targets that it may strike inside Israel.
If Syria does send missiles raining down on Israel, we will undoubtedly see Israel strike back.
And then we will have a full-blown war in the Middle East on our hands.
The Scriptures tell us to pray for the peace of Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem, and that is what we should do.
Let us hope that cooler heads will prevail.
But right now it appears that the world is steamrolling toward war, and the upcoming blood red moons are certainly a very troubling omen.
Let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst.
It is also interesting to note that there will also be another blood red moon tetrad in 2032/2033.
Could those dates be significant as well?
Or is all of this blood red moon stuff just a bunch of mumbo jumbo?

Night Sky: Visible Planets, Moon Phases & Events, March 2015
The night sky tonight and on any clear night offers an ever-changing display of fascinating objects you can see, from stars and constellations to bright planets, often the moon, and sometimes special events like meteor showers. Observing the night sky can be done with no special equipment, although a sky map can be very useful, and a good beginner telescope or binoculars will enhance some experiences and bring some otherwise invisible objects into view. Below, find out what’s up in the night sky tonight (Planets Visible Now, Moon Phases, Observing Highlights This Month) plus other resources (Skywatching Terms, Night Sky Observing Tips and Further Reading).

Moon Phases
Thursday, March 5, 1:05 p.m. EST
Full Moon, March 5
The Full Moon of March is known as the “Worm Moon,” “Crow Moon,” “Sap Moon,” or “Lenten Moon.” It rises around sunset and sets around sunrise; this is the only night in the month when the moon is in the sky all night long. The rest of the month, the moon spends at least some time in the daytime sky. This is the smallest Full Moon of 2015.
Friday, March 13, 1:48 p.m. EDT
Last Quarter Moon
The Last Quarter Moon rises around 2 a.m. and sets around noon. It is most easily seen just after sunrise in the southern sky.
Friday, March 20, 5:36 a.m. EDT
New Moon
The moon is not visible on the date of New Moon because it is too close to the sun, but can be seen low in the east as a narrow crescent a morning or two before, just before sunrise. It is visible low in the west an evening or two after New Moon.
Friday, March 27, 3:43 a.m. EDT
First Quarter Moon
The First Quarter Moon rises around 11:30 a.m. and sets around 2:30 a.m. It dominates the evening sky.
Observing Highlights

Sunday, March 8–Sunday, March 22, after evening twilight
Zodiacal Light
Look to the south of west, just above Venus and Mars, for the faint zodiacal light, reflected from interplanetary matter along the ecliptic (marked by green line). Don’t confuse it with the brighter Milky Way to the northwest.
Total Solar Eclipse
Friday, March 20
The path of this eclipse sweeps across the North Atlantic Ocean, missing all inhabited land except for the Faroe Islands, northwest of Scotland, and the Svalberg Islands north of Norway.

Equinox
Friday, March 20, 6:45 p.m. EDT
The sun crosses the celestial equator heading north, marking the beginning of Spring in the northern hemisphere and Autumn in the southern hemisphere.
Uranus and the Moon
Saturday, March 21, 7 a.m. EDT
The moon will occult Uranus as seen from easternmost Brazil, central Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia.
Mars and the Moon
Saturday, March 21, 6 p.m. EDT
The moon will occult Mars as seen from southwestern South America.
Venus and the Moon
Sunday, March 22, after sunset
The moon and Venus will make a pretty pair in the western twilight sky.

Tuesday, March 24, 10 p.m. EDT
Aldebaran and the Moon
The First Quarter Moon passes close to the red giant star Aldebaran and the Hyades star cluster. The bright Pleiades star cluster is off to the right. The moon will pass in front of Aldebaran for observers in northern latitudes: Kazakhstan, Russia, northeastern Scandinavia, extreme northeastern China, northern Greenland, northwestern Canada, and Alaska.
Planets
Mercury is a “morning star,” most favourably placed for observers in the Southern Hemisphere.
Venus is an “evening star” in the southwestern sky just after sunset.
Mars spends most of the month in Pisces, but makes a brief excursion into Cetus on February 1st and 2nd.
Jupiter just past opposition will be shining brightly most of the night. It is in Cancer all month.
Saturn is just north of Scorpius’ “claws,” rising near midnight. It begins retrograde motion on the 14th.
Uranus vanishes into evening twilight at mid-month.
Neptune is still too close to the sun to be observed.
Skywatching Terms
- Asterism: A noteworthy or striking pattern of stars within a larger constellation.
- Degrees (measuring the sky): The sky is 360 degrees all the way around, which means roughly 180 degrees from horizon to horizon. It’s easy to measure distances between objects: Your fist on an outstretched arm covers about 10 degrees of sky.
- Visual Magnitude: This is the astronomer’s scale for measuring the brightness of objects in the sky. The dimmest object visible in the night sky under perfectly dark conditions is about magnitude 6.5. Brighter stars are magnitude 2 or 1. The brightest objects get negative numbers. Venus can be as bright as magnitude minus 4.9. The full moon is minus 12.7 and the sun is minus 26.8.
- Terminator: The boundary on the moon between sunlight and shadow.
- Zenith: The point in the sky directly overhead.
Night Sky Observing Tips
- Adjust to the dark: If you wish to observe faint objects, such as meteors or dim stars, give your eyes at least 15 minutes to adjust to the darkness.
- Light Pollution: Even from a big city, one can see the moon, a handful of bright stars and sometimes the brightest planets. But to fully enjoy the heavens — especially a meteor shower, the constellations, or to see the amazing swath across the sky that represents our view toward the center of the Milky Way Galaxy — rural areas are best for night sky viewing. If you’re stuck in a city or suburban area, a building can be used to block ambient light (or moonlight) to help reveal fainter objects. If you’re in the suburbs, simply turning off outdoor lights can help.
- Prepare for skywatching: If you plan to be out for more than a few minutes, and it’s not a warm summer evening, dress warmer than you think necessary. An hour of observing a winter meteor shower can chill you to the bone. A blanket or lounge chair will prove much more comfortable than standing or sitting in a chair and craning your neck to see overhead.
- Daytime skywatching: When Venus is visible (that is, not in front of or behind the sun) it can often be spotted during the day. But you’ll need to know where to look. A sky map is helpful. When the sun has large sunspots, they can be seen without a telescope. However, it’s unsafe to look at the sun without protective eyewear. See our video on how to safely observe the sun, or our safe sunwatching infographic.

Supermoon
The supermoon of March 19, 2011 (right), compared to a more average moon of December 20, 2010 (left), as viewed from Earth
The March 19, 2011, supermoon was 356,577 kilometers (221,567 miles) away from Earth. The last time the full moon approached so close to Earth was in 1993. It was about 20 percent brighter and 15 percent bigger than a regular full moon.
A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.[1] The technical name is the perigee–syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. The term “supermoon” is not astronomical, but originated in modern astrology.[2] The association of the Moon with both oceanic and crustal tides has led to claims that the supermoon phenomenon may be associated with increased risk of events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but the evidence of such a link is widely held to be unconvincing.[3]
The most recent occurrence was on September 9, 2014.[4]
The opposite phenomenon, an apogee-syzygy, has been called a micromoon,[5] though this term is not as widespread as supermoon.
