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.
