‘AND IT SHALL BE IN
THE LAST DAYS,’ God says,
‘THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND;
AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY,
AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS,
AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;
‘THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND;
AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY,
AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS,
AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;
EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN,
I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT
And they shall prophesy.
I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT
And they shall prophesy.
‘AND
I WILL GRANT WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE
AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW,
BLOOD, AND FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.
AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW,
BLOOD, AND FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.
‘THE
SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS
AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD,
BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME.
AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD,
BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME.
‘AND
IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.’
Acts 2:17-21
This scripture was the basis for a teaching I heard
Sunday morning about the four blood moons that will appear in 2014-15. International speaker and T.V. evangelist,
Larry Huch, was the guest speaker at Grace Walk Community Church, a friendly multicultural fellowship in West Phoenix (with powerful praise and worship, I
might add.) I’ve pursued Larry’s Jewish Roots teachings for years. My favorite is
“Seven Places Jesus Shed His Blood” because it refreshes my understanding of my
redemptive covenant. I like to review it
just before Passover which our family celebrates every year.
The four blood moons this year and in 2015, are significant,
not because they are blood moons but because all four occur on Jewish feast
days. I tried to capture the
illustration in the presentation with my digital, but I’m not good at photos
without using flash in a church setting.
Here is the significance of this blurry photo. Each blood moon on the screen falls on a Jewish feast
starting next week with Passover, April 14, 2014, and then Sukkot in the fall. Blood moons appear on these feasts in 2015 as
well. Larry mentioned a CD package about
this teaching that he is going to make available on his website.
Sunday’s presentation included a timeline of historical
data. This was fascinating and very
detailed info of God’s intervention in the past. It was a faith builder! As the Jewish saying goes, there is no such
thing as coincidence. It is time for a
new beginning and the main point that I got is that with the start of this
year’s Passover, we are entering into the “Time of Messiah.” This is going to be a time of the
supernatural.
I close with something Larry Huch began with when he
spoke. Blind Bartimaeus was one of
many on the road when Jesus passed by.
He called out to Jesus saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on
me.” (Mark 10:46)
- He was aware.
- He knew Jesus.
- He responded to a window of opportunity.
In like fashion, this teaching presents a
window of opportunity to me not just to be a follower of Jesus, but also aware of the coming
signs. I’m studying! I’m
eager to learn; I don’t want to be left behind in this challenging age because I know God’s ways are not the world’s ways.
What a post, Mary! With Easter coming up I have been doing teaching on prophecy of the Messiah...as well as the other Sunday School teachers at our church. I love this sort of study because as you say, it does make me even more aware of my redemption in new ways. Thank you so much for sharing this today.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post, Mary. I learned many things. And, once again, I was reminded to look toward the sky where my Redeemer will one day come again!
ReplyDeleteGOD BLESS!
That was an awakening post. I must admit that I am not awaren of what is happening. Just concern to be ready everyday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I will need to check out his website. Sounds very interesting. I love to study the OT and have read some about the feasts. But I appreciate you sharing this.

Hi Mary! Don't you just love it when you find a speaker who just opens your eyes? I was unaware of the phenomena of the 'blood moon' so I'll have to look it up, just like Debbie.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this eye-opening post!

Interesting...I have read about the blood moons and do not feel it is just a coincidence....Jesus did say we will not know the day or the hour but would know the signs.... I say...look up....eagerly await His arrival...\0/
