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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

The Venomous Intruder

It’s the middle of rattlesnake season here on the ranch.  The local news anchor confirmed it.   I’ve seen two already.    While driving along our dirt road yesterday, I mistook a virulent enemy for a branch. I backed up the car, looked again and noticed the branch shifted revealing a rattle at its end. At one of our road association meetings in the barn, Shelby stood up and shouted, “ BOB !” to my next door neighbor.  He’s our vice president and the one all eyes were on as he gave a presentation in the middle of the room.  I sensed fear in the way she yelled his name.  I learned after the meeting that Shelby called out to him like that because she saw a rattler slither in the barn door where she and I sat.  Bob yielded to the interruption and quietly dispatched the enemy.  Ten minutes later, this tough guy was back to center stage falling right back in step with the business at hand.   Bob is my new best friend. ...

Let's Live Together

I took a Ziploc bag of frozen pork chops out of the freezer and set them in the refrigerator to thaw.  I decided to make one of my favorite crock pot recipes with them.  I threatened the husband with a black eye if he ate the last of the sour cream because I needed it for that simple recipe. The next day, I carried my crock pot to my island in the kitchen and mixed the sour cream with an envelope of onion soup mix and decided to rinse the defrosted meat at the sink before adding to my recipe.  Then I noticed something. They weren’t pork chops.  To my surprise, I witnessed defrosted chicken thighs.  Very big chicken thighs; it must have been a hippy chicken.  The freezer bag’s label read Dec. ’15 in the husband’s writing.  I assumed it contained pork chops.  I was wrong. Write it like a man. Thinking like a man would think, he probably guessed that any fool could see these are chicken thighs when he placed them in a clear gal...

Marriage Tip #44: Do What He Wants

I thought about our upcoming anniversary.   I prayed one morning for the marriages in my family, and a sentence about my own dropped in my spirit:  “ Do What He Wants .”  I paused, “Really?”  He’s his own man.  What if I end up in the wilderness camping by night and target shooting by day?  What if a coyote decides to have me as a late night snack? We celebrated our anniversary early this year, Before the kids come next week.   And we did it his way . This is how it happened. I never asked him about a plan or even mentioned our day.  I remember how it all unfolded at the roundabout just as we drove into Sedona.  He asked me if I would like to go to a baseball game.  I responded excitedly, “Yeah!”  Before the day was over, he purchased tickets for a Diamondbacks home game. He printed them out.  He booked a hotel room so we wouldn’t have to drive home from the city after the late evening game. ...
