Four Flashing Red Warning Lights
00:02:48

|
| On April 15th from 2 to 4.30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, we experienced at Morningside what was the first of the four blood moons or Tetrad. | |
| Was it kind of wild, right? | |
| It was really cool watching. | |
| Like we watched it from the very beginning of the peak and then to the full point of its changing colors. | |
| As Pastor Mark Biltz explains, God uses the sun, the moon, and the stars for signs and seasons. | |
| I mean, we wonder why God created the sun and the moon and we think it's for light and heat. | |
| But if you look at that verse, it says the number one reason is for signs or signals. | |
| And then the next word is for seasons. | |
| But when we hear seasons, we think of winter, spring, summer, or fall. | |
| But that's a wrong English translation. | |
| And so that's where we get misdirected. | |
| The word actually means a divine appointment. | |
| In this total lunar eclipse, the full moon turns a reddish color. | |
| This blood moon was the first of four blood moons to occur in this Tetrad. | |
| And we're in Passover right now. | |
| I mean, what's the odds of this moon, this blood moon, taking place on April 15, 2014? | |
| And then the next one in these four is going to take place on October 8th on the Feast of Tabernacles. | |
| What is important to remember is that these blood moons are taking place on feast days, Jewish holy days, according to the Jewish calendar. | |
| The first blood moon took place on the Feast of Passover. | |
| The next one on October 8th will take place on the Feast of Tabernacles. | |
| The blood moon then will appear on April 4th, 2015 on Passover, and then on September 28th, 2015 on the Feast of Tabernacles. | |
| The last time that this happened was in 1967 and 1968 when Jerusalem was restored to Israel. | |
| And what was happening to history in 1948? | |
| They reclaimed Israel as a nation. | |
| And what happened in 1949 and 1950? | |
| You guessed it. | |
| Four blood moons, a tetrad that fell on Jewish holy days. | |
| And so I see these four blood moons as four flashing red warning lights to Israel. | |
| You better not divide my land. | |
| All I know is something very, very major is going to take place in these next months. | |
| I think you need to look to the financial collapse. | |
| I think you need to look to war in the Mideast situation in Israel. | |
| Something that perhaps so devastating the United States that will drive the Jews back to Israel. | |

Belief in the Tribulation Period

|
| So there's going to be signs in the heavens and God is saying something. | |
| Get ready. | |
| Get ready for things to happen. | |
| I believe, personally, I believe in this period of a year and so many months, the beginning of the tribulation period began. | |
| It's overwhelming to see this happen, not just to see an eclipse, but to see this event that takes place on Passover. | |
| And the very time we celebrate Easter also this week. | |
| So God's saying something. | |
| People will laugh. | |
| People mock. | |
| People think it's kind of crazy that we think that therefore signs. | |
| Well, even though the Bible says so. | |
