There has been a lot of noise in the press and religious literature in the past few years about the blood moons. If you don't know what a blood moon is or what it's supposed to mean in the context of prophecy or tabloid fear mongering, then I suggest a quick spin around the internet to refresh your knowledge base.
The prophetic importance of these astronomical events is that they coincide with Jewish holidays. Bear in mind that the interpretation of Biblical prophecy ALWAYS centers upon Israel. But since such events are so powerful, they often have a ripple effect across the entire planet. What happens in the middle east does not stay in the middle east.
Each sequence of four blood moons is called a tetrade. Seven of them have been observed since the crucifixion. The 8th will conclude in the fall of 2015. Here they are;
162AD - 163AD
795AD - 796AD
842AD - 843AD
860AD - 861AD
1493AD - 1494AD
- gap of 455 years -
1949AD - 1950AD
1967AD - 1968AD
2014AD - 2015AD
I should point out at this time that Biblical prophecy is based upon the Hebrew calendar, not the Latin Gregorian calendar, but as I am not a rabbinic student I cannot easily produce an accurate time conversion. All of this is purely for argument and entertainment anyway.
It should be noted that during the modern era (since 1949), the effect of events on earth generally take a while to be felt in terms of political and everyday life. The birth of the state of Israel was the beginning of the independence of many nations and the end of European colonial rule across the planet for years. Do a google search of the events of 1967 - 1968 and your keyboard will almost literally start smoking. It was a horrendous period of time and in the words of a NY Times journalist, "it was one g*d**** thing after another."
September 28, 2015 is the date of the final blood moon of the current tetrade. An absolutely huge number of terrible predictions have been made for that date. Everything from financial collapse of the global currency to the second coming of Christ is predicted. Even Vladimir Putin has been caught up in part of the frenzy (Russians love this kind of stuff - take a look at the Pravda website - its the mother of Russian tabloids).
B U T ......
Bear in mind that great events pivot around the observations of the Year of Jubilee - every 50 years. The last two such times were in 1968 and 1918. 1968 again.
My premise here is that the completion of the last blood moon tetrade is only the precursor of great events, which will begin two to three years later - 2017 - 2018.
1968 + 50 = 2018
I do not personally believe that there will be a great financial collapse in the fall of 2015. HOWEVER, there are several earthly events which may affect the future of the next two to three years - chief among them being the Federal Reserve's expecting raising of the Prime Interest rate and the IMF's admission of China to the SDR/XDR currency basket. Both are scheduled for the fall of 2015 and both may signal the end of the dollar as global reserve currency and the rise of the Renminbi in its place. The financial base of the entire planet could be shaken as a result, which would have a great influence on middle east politics.
Bottom line is that I don't believe a major shift in world events will happen in the fall of 2015, but the completion of the current tetrade may indeed be the foreshadowing of great changes upon the earth.
