=== Four Flashing Red Warning Lights (02:48) ===

[00:00:00]  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.
[00:00:09]  Was it kind of wild, right?
[00:00:11]  It was really cool watching.
[00:00:13]  Like we watched it from the very beginning of the peak and then to the full point of its changing colors.
[00:00:17]  As Pastor Mark Biltz explains, God uses the sun, the moon, and the stars for signs and seasons.
[00:00:24]  I mean, we wonder why God created the sun and the moon and we think it's for light and heat.
[00:00:29]  But if you look at that verse, it says the number one reason is for signs or signals.
[00:00:34]  And then the next word is for seasons.
[00:00:37]  But when we hear seasons, we think of winter, spring, summer, or fall.
[00:00:41]  But that's a wrong English translation.
[00:00:44]  And so that's where we get misdirected.
[00:00:46]  The word actually means a divine appointment.
[00:00:50]  In this total lunar eclipse, the full moon turns a reddish color.
[00:00:54]  This blood moon was the first of four blood moons to occur in this Tetrad.
[00:00:58]  And we're in Passover right now.
[00:01:00]  I mean, what's the odds of this moon, this blood moon, taking place on April 15, 2014?
[00:01:11]  And then the next one in these four is going to take place on October 8th on the Feast of Tabernacles.
[00:01:21]  What is important to remember is that these blood moons are taking place on feast days, Jewish holy days, according to the Jewish calendar.
[00:01:28]  The first blood moon took place on the Feast of Passover.
[00:01:31]  The next one on October 8th will take place on the Feast of Tabernacles.
[00:01:36]  The blood moon then will appear on April 4th, 2015 on Passover, and then on September 28th, 2015 on the Feast of Tabernacles.
[00:01:45]  The last time that this happened was in 1967 and 1968 when Jerusalem was restored to Israel.
[00:01:53]  And what was happening to history in 1948?
[00:01:56]  They reclaimed Israel as a nation.
[00:01:59]  And what happened in 1949 and 1950?
[00:02:01]  You guessed it.
[00:02:02]  Four blood moons, a tetrad that fell on Jewish holy days.
[00:02:06]  And so I see these four blood moons as four flashing red warning lights to Israel.
[00:02:10]  You better not divide my land.
[00:02:12]  All I know is something very, very major is going to take place in these next months.
[00:02:21]  I think you need to look to the financial collapse.
[00:02:24]  I think you need to look to war in the Mideast situation in Israel.
[00:02:31]  Something that perhaps so devastating the United States that will drive the Jews back to Israel.

=== Belief in the Tribulation Period (00:58) ===

[00:02:39]  So there's going to be signs in the heavens and God is saying something.
[00:02:46]  Get ready.
[00:02:47]  Get ready for things to happen.
[00:02:49]  I believe, personally, I believe in this period of a year and so many months, the beginning of the tribulation period began.
[00:03:01]  It's overwhelming to see this happen, not just to see an eclipse, but to see this event that takes place on Passover.
[00:03:14]  And the very time we celebrate Easter also this week.
[00:03:20]  So God's saying something.
[00:03:23]  People will laugh.
[00:03:24]  People mock.
[00:03:25]  People think it's kind of crazy that we think that therefore signs.
[00:03:29]  Well, even though the Bible says so.
