Bible Question: Is the term "Blood Moon" in reference to an actual Prophecy to be fulfilled according to Scripture? If so, what is its significance to the Believer? Are we given a time frame of its occurrence? Does it take place after the Rapture or before? Not positive, but I believe according to NASA, an alignment of sorts and involving the Sun will cause the moon to appear red in 2015... |
Bible Answer: Joel 2:31 (NASB) 31 "The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. Acts 2:20 (NASB) 20 'THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME. Revelation 6:12 (NASB) 12 I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; Blood and the Moon are seen in events associated with the Last Days or the period of time right before Jesus Christ returns to this earth. Depending on your theology determines whether these events occur before or after the rapture. Dispensationalist/Futuristic theologians see a rapture before the Blood Moon and the cataclysmic events of the End Times. Preterist and others don’t see a rapture as such and expect everyone to endure the events leading up to the Jesus’ return. Both sides make good points and the issue is far from settled, the exact timing of the End Times events has been on going since Jesus told of them. Jesus said we would know the season and as we look around the world we see it growing colder and colder to the truth of God so I believe we are moving closer and closer at an accelerating rate. What will happen? There are many theories but in truth until it actually happens none of really know. What we must do is trust in God, God has promised never to leave us nor forsake us, to make all things work to our good if we love Him and are called to His purpose. Rest in that knowledge, keep your eye on God and your faith in Jesus Christ and remember we are the victors. |
