Passover and the Four Blood Moons





 ‘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;

   EVEN ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN,
            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.

    ‘THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS
            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)

  1. He was aware. 
  2. He knew Jesus. 
  3. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. Interesting 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!

    GOD BLESS!

  6. 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.

    Thank you for this eye-opening post!

Because He Lives, I Can Move

I’m currently in one of those places where you lay out all the options and then you make the best decision. It seems, however, like none of the choices are fair or attractive. I know God will help me in my situation because I desire His guidance. I’m clinging to His Word which promises that ALL things work together for good for those that love God and are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28. I heard a great teaching this week about seeking God’s will and all the freedom that surrender brings. We can know that God is bringing about a victory if we trust Him with each and every decision. The speaker illustrated his point with a famous painting. The painting depicts a look of despair on the chess player’s face. He’s playing Satan and his soul is at stake. It looks like Satan is winning. Checkmate! When Paul Morphy saw this painting back in the 1800’s, he set up a chess board and aligned the pieces to reflect the painting. Being a world champion, he studied the board. His conclusi

Humor for the Bride and Groom

A young couple decided to wed.  As the big day approached, they grew apprehensive.  Each had a problem they had never before shared with anyone, not even each other. The Groom-to-be, overcoming his fear, decided to ask his father for advice.   "Father," he said, "I am deeply concerned about the success of my marriage."  His father replied, "Don't you love this girl?"   "Oh yes, very much," he said," but you see, I have very smelly feet, and I'm afraid that my fiancé will be put off by them."  "No problem," said dad, "all you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and always wear socks, even to bed."   Well, to him this seemed a workable solution. The bride-to-be, overcoming her fear, decided to take her problem up with her mom."  Mom," she said, "When I wake up in the morning my breath is truly awful."  "Honey," her mother consoled, "everyone has

A Veteran's Story

  I noticed Bill sitting in our local park where I walk.   He glanced my way just as I finished the last exercise walk song on my playlist.   He shouted and pointed to my car:   “Hey, is that your car with the Nam front license plate?   I stepped closer into the veranda where Bill sat on a picnic bench.   I noticed his Vietnam Vet cap and instantly I knew why I walked there that day.   The Marine Vet served during the 1960’s, the same time span as my husband.   Bill talked a lot about the war evoking my emotions from laughter to tears.   My South Vietnam front plate often prompts a conversation with a stranger and I’ve learned a deep respect for it over the years.   It is my way of listening to a veteran.   I enjoyed listening to Bill.   He made me laugh in spots but he made me cry as well.   Like when he talked about the sandwich lady.   “Do you ever eat at the sandwich shop in the gas station down the street?”   I replied that I’ve order coffee once in that place with a turke
