Blood Moon Rising

Wednesday morning, at sunrise, the second of four lunar eclipses within the time frame of April 2014-October 2015 will occur. The moon will slide into Earth’s shadow, casting a reddish hue on the moon, called a blood moon.There are about two lunar eclipses per year, according to NASA, but what’s unusual this time around is that there will be four blood moons within 18 months — astronomers call that a tetrad — and all of them occur during Jewish holidays.

Jewish holy days revolve around a lunar calendar with Passover beginning on the first full moon after the beginning of spring, and the Feast of Tabernacles occurring on the first full moon after the beginning of fall. Every time a tetrad occurs on Jewish feast days, something traumatic and “world-changing” happens to Israel, according to Pastor John Hagee's book “Four Blood Moons: Something Is About to Change”

In 1492, the Jews were expelled from Spain, In 1948, the modern state of Israel was born, and in 1967, Israel won the Six-Day War and recaptured Jerusalem.

Folks, do your homework. The one certain thing I can guaranty is that we are living in the Last Days and God says in His Word, many times, that signs and wonders will be seen in the Heavens.

The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood,
before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come. 
Joel 2:31

The Blessing Book

Adrian Rogers

BIBLE MEDITATION:

“Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” Revelation 1:3

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

When I was in seminary, my wife Joyce told me, “You’re going to flunk if you don’t start hitting your school books.”

Instead I was reading books on prophecy and told her, “I’ve got to find out what this is all about. They’re not teaching it in school.” And as I would study these things, I felt God building me.

There is a blessing to be found in a study of prophecy. It would be better for you not to know these things than to know them and to be idle about them.

There’s nothing that fuels the flames of evangelism like a proper understanding of prophecy.

ACTION POINT:

When was the last time you read the book of Revelation? Maybe you can start on it today! 

The Dreadful Day of the Lord

Henry Morris:

“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.” (Malachi 4:5)

This is the next-to-last verse of the Old Testament and so marks the final mention in the Old Testament of the fearsome theme of the Day of the Lord. As the text says, it will be a “great and dreadful day.”

This phrase occurs frequently in the Bible, reminding us over and over again that although God is merciful and longsuffering, He will not remain silent forever. Man’s “day” will end someday, and the day of the Lord will come.

What did Jesus write in the dust?

John chapter 8 recounts the story of the woman caught in adultery and brought to Jesus by the Pharisees attempting to trap Him in a matter of Mosaic Law. What he wrote in the dust while they were about their nasty business has been a matter of conjecture between Biblical scholars, students and critics for centuries. Using the time tested method of letting Scripture interpret Scripture, I here submit to you just exactly what He wrote:

A hidden prophecy? You be the judge.

As I was continuing with my Bible studies the other day, I found myself once again in 1 Samuel Chapter 19. I was reminded of an in-depth study I did a year ago on two verses in this chapter, verses 13 and 16. I shared my thoughts and findings with a couple of brothers in Christ, good servants of the Lord, but until now, I haven’t shared this with anyone else.

So, for your perusal, thoughts and meditations:

Wonderful Things to Come

by Henry Morris, Ph.D

(Founder of The Institute for Creation Research and general editor of The Henry Morris Study Bible)

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)

This fantastic promise refers back to another great promise given by God to His people: “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him” (Isaiah 64:4).

The Old Testament promise applied primarily to the nation of Israel, but its New Testament extension incorporates it in a global promise to all who love the Lord of glory, “crucified” by “the princes of this world” (1 Corinthians 2:8), the One who was also the Savior of the world.

Comparison of the two prophetic promises yields three vital truths. These things that God has prepared for His loved ones have been in view “since the beginning of the world,” and have been revealed in part by the prophets, who have been speaking also “since the world began” (Luke 1:70).

Secondly, those who “wait for him” in the Old Testament are synonymous with those who “love him” in the New. The apostle Paul joins both themes together when he says: “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness . . . and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” (2 Timothy 4:8).

Finally, we cannot even begin to comprehend the glorious things God has prepared for those who love Him and wait for Him. In some measure, the Spirit later revealed them in part through John’s eyes and ears when he saw “the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven” and heard “a great voice out of heaven saying . . . God himself shall be with them, and be their God” (Revelation 21:2-3). Then our eyes shall fully see, and our ears hear, and our hearts understand, the fullness of God’s love in Christ. HMM
