Passover begins at sundown on Monday, April 14th, and ends
at sundown on Tuesday, April 15th. But when the moon comes up on the night of
April 14th, something very exciting will happen. The first of four lunar
eclipses, called blood moons because of the red color, will appear in the sky.
Lunar eclipses take place fairly often. However, blood moons
are special to Bible believers when four blood moons appear on the seven feasts
of the Lord found in the Book of Leviticus, chapter 23. If history is our
guide, something very important will happen to the Jewish people and the Nation
of Israel near these blood moons.
Pastor Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries went to a U.S.
government web site to see if there was a connection between four blood moons
and historical events and reported his findings in an article in the May 2008
issue of Prophecy in the News magazine. Since then, John Hagee and other
pastors have studied his findings and found them to be true.
. As a result of his
research, Pastor Blitz found that four blood moons occurred on Passover and
Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) in 1493, and this happened to be the year that
all Jews were expelled from Spain via the Spanish Inquisition. Certainly, this
was a bad time for the Jews. However, one year earlier in 1492, Columbus
discovered America, providing a safe-place for the Jews and all God’s people.
. Mark Biltz learned
that a series of four blood moons also appeared in 1949-50 which was a year
after Israel became a state again after almost two thousand years.
. The third set of
four blood moons took place in 1967-68 which was the year that Israel liberated
Jerusalem after the Six Day War and took possession of the Temple Mount.
. And the fourth set
begins at sundown on April 14th.
Here are the dates for all four up coming blood moons.
. Passover, April
15, 2014
. Feast of
Tabernacles, October 8, 2014
. Passover, April 4,
2015
. Feast of
Tabernacles, September 28, 2015
Lunar eclipses are said to be warnings to Israel. Solar
eclipses are said to be warnings to the entire world, and there are two solar
eclipses in 2015.

According to Mark Biltz, the Jews sing Psalms during
Passover, beginning with Psalm 113 and ending with and including Psalm 118. As a
Christian, I plan either to read those verses or sing them on Passover too.
