The "Tanakh" Bible reveals our past, our present and our future; to us to discover them. This blog is for all those who believe in the return of the Lord Yahushua the Messiah of Israel, and who agree to keep His commandments.
Great signs in the sky ...
The Tetrads
All who keep abreast of information and world news know that we will see a rare celestial phenomenon as of 2014 and within a few days following ... (March) 2015.
The event, called a tetrad, is a series of four consecutive total lunar eclipses, which for the occasion, give a blood-red appearance to the moon.
If the total lunar eclipses are not very frequent, the tetrads are even less, hence the interest they generate among scientists and amateur astronomers.
But what could be the meaning of such a phenomenon, after all natural for all those who read the Bible and seek to understand the prophecies which contain?
There are a few years, a pastor named Mark Biltz Rabin, the Messianic congregation "El Shaddai Ministries" in Washington (USA), has made a very surprising discovery by studying the tetrads that took place over several centuries . Helped by NASA in its research, The Rabin Pastor Mark Biltz noticed that these next four lunar eclipses fall on days of biblical feasts. Ie: when the Passover (Pesach) for 2014 and the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) in the same year. Then again at Easter 2015 and finally in the fourth eclipse of Tabernacles in 2015.
Furthermore, it was found that the tetrads that occurred in the past, during these Jewish holidays, coincided with important events particularly affecting the Jewish people.
Thus, at the end of the Spanish Inquisition (in 1492), while the Jews were forced to leave Spain if they refused to convert to Catholicism, there was a tetrad the following two years, during the holidays Jewish:
During Passover, April 2, 1493,
Sukkot, September 25, 1493,
During Passover, March 22, 1494,
and Sukkot, September 15, 1494.
Then another, the two years following the War of Independence of the new State of Israel
At Easter, April 13, 1949,
Sukkot, October 7, 1949
at Easter, April 2, 1950,
and Sukkot, September 26, 1950.
As well as during the Six-Day War of 1967, when Jerusalem was reunited:
At Passover, April 24, 1967
Sukkot, October 18, 1967
at Easter, April 13, 1968,
and Sukkot, October 6, 1968.
But that's not all! Rabbi Pastor Mark Biltz also noted that there will be a total solar eclipse on 1 Nisan 2015 (March 20); the first day of the biblical year, a fortnight before the third lunar eclipse of the tetrad ..
Is this a warning sign ?
Eclipses are natural phenomena that should not scare us, but tell us:
"Thus says the Lord YHWH Elohim; Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed them. "(Jer. 10: 2).
However, when we know the importance to Jews, meaning celestial phenomena and especially the symbolism associated with eclipses, one wonders if these heavenly signs do not end up as a warning to humanity?
Here indeed reports the Talmud (3):
"Our rabbis taught: when there is a solar eclipse is a bad omen for the idolaters; and when there was a lunar eclipse is a bad omen for Israel ... If his face is as red as blood, it is a sign that the sword come upon all the world ... "(Talmud, Version Soncino Extract Succah 29a)
But it is above all in the Scriptures we find the exact explanation and prophetic significance of this kind of celestial phenomenon.
Indeed, we must know that the stars were created not only to illuminate the earth, mark seasons, days, years and fix the holidays, but also be signs for humanity:
"YHWH Elohim God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; whether they are signs to mark seasons and days and years; and let them be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth. "(Genesis 1:. 14).
"... His dynasty {David} would persist as long as the sun, as the moon is there, faithful witness, behind the clouds." (Psalm 89:. 37-38).
"There will be terrible earthquakes, and in various regions, famines and epidemics; there will also frightening events and great signs from heaven "(Luke 21: 11)..
"The sun shall be darkened, and the moon red as blood, before the coming of the Lord's day, that great and glorious day." (Acts 2: 20 / Joel 3: 4).
These heavenly signs indeed correspond to a part of the sixth seal of the Apocalypse book:
"Then I saw the Lamb break the sixth seal. There was a violent earthquake; the sun became black as a mourning cloth and the whole moon became as blood ... "(Apocalypse. 6: 12).
Mark Biltz, these celestial phenomena are certainly a warning that we need to consider carefully and a clear sign of the soon coming of our Lord Yeshua on earth.
The most surprising is that these heavenly signs are very rare and their coincidence with the feasts of YHWH Elohim Gd will be more in this century! The pastor says they are primarily a sign to Israel and it is not surprising that a tetrad occurred just after the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, and another at the time of the Six Day War in 1967, when Jerusalem was reunited .
Tetrad has passed and will take place next tetrad:
At Passover, April 15, 2014
Sukkot, October 8, 2014
March 20, 2015 (1st Nisan, total solar eclipse)
at Easter, April 4, 2015,
and Sukkot, September 28, 2015.
Table 2014-2015 eclipses sets by Mark Biltz
Mark said: "You have the beginning of the church year with the total solar eclipse on 29 Adar 1 Nisan (March 20, 2015); two weeks later, a total lunar eclipse on Passover (April 4, 2015); Then the calendar year (Jewish) beginning with a solar eclipse; followed two weeks later by another total eclipse of the blood-red moon during the festival of Sukkot, in 2015 ".
The 6th seal and 4th trumpet
But beware my friends, in the chronology of events to come, it is essential not to confuse the sixth seal and the fourth trumpet. Indeed, the passage from Matthew 24: 29 (below) is well described in the 4th trumpet Apocalypse 8: 12 and not the sixth seal (although the fourth trumpet is somehow included in the sixth seal, and is an extension !):
"Immediately after the suffering of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall tremble." (Matt. 24: 29).
"And the fourth angel sounded his trumpet. Third of the sun was smitten, and the third of the moon and the third of the stars, so they lost a third of their clarity, there was no light for a third day and also during a third of the night. "(Apocalypse 8. 12). See also Isaiah 13: 9-10.
Notice he does not say here that the moon will become blood red, but it will not give its light. In fact, this event chronologically (4th trumpet) will take place after the phenomenon of blood-red moon (6th seal).
This also means that the final persecution (4) will precede the 4th trumpet
"But in those days, after that time of suffering, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light" (Mark 13: 24, which corresponds to Matt. 24: 29 and Apocalypse. 8: 12).
For proof, compare Chapters 3 and 4 of the book of Joel. Joel 3: 3-4 is the sixth seal, and corresponds to Apocalypse 6: 12-14 and other verses relating thereto:
"The sun shall be darkened, and the moon red as blood, before the coming of the day of the Lord, great and terrible day." (Joel 3: 4).
"Then I saw the Lamb break the sixth seal. There was a violent earthquake, the sun became black as a mourning cloth and the whole moon became as blood. "(Apocalypse. 6: 12). See also Isaiah 24: 23.
While Joel 4: 15-16 refers rather to the 4th trumpet corresponding to Apocalypse 8: 12 mentioned above:
"The sun and the moon will not shine, the stars lose their luster. The Lord roars from Mount Zion in Jerusalem he thunders his voice. Heaven and Earth tremble! But the Lord protects his people, he is a refuge for the Israelites "(Joel 4: 15-16)..
This means that the first signs of the sixth seal have been reported and continue to be so in the coming years. As for the fourth trumpet, it "sound" after the start of the final persecution (during the great tribulation) and announce the imminent coming of the Messiah.
What this next tetrad could announce?
Will we get the famous "week" of seven years (the seventieth) announced by the prophet Daniel? Does a temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem and the daily sacrifice will there be reinstated? ...
"He shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation; the devastating commit the most heinous things until the ruin and what has been resolved based on the devastating ". (Dan. 9: 27).
"He will oppose everything that men love and everything that men consider divine. It will rise against this, and go up into the temple of God YHWH Elohim to sit and pass itself to God "(2 Thess. 2: 4)..
What seems clear is that this alliance of seven years will be entered to stop a major conflict that will hit the Middle East very soon! (This conflict has probably already started with the war in Syria). For this alliance between several countries will aim to maintain relative peace throughout the region. The whole world will be affected by this conflict, for many countries, this will secure their oil supplies.
Of course, the detractors and scoffers will tell you that it is only superstition or fabrications; there was always eclipses "blood-red" and solar eclipses plunging the earth into darkness; and it has always frightened men of all times and in all places.
On the other hand, there are already emerging for some time many other preachers and televangelists telling us in a threatening tone the precise sequence of what they believe to be the truth.
The Bible also had long predicted the arrival of these false teachers and warns us not to follow them because these people often preach to "full house" helped by their flashy commercials. It's money and awareness that interest them, nothing else!
"Many false prophets will appear and deceive many." (Matt. 24: 11).
As for these heavenly signs, they certainly should not frighten us, but rather to arouse our attention and warn us of upcoming events:
"... You know interpret aspects of the sky, but you are unable to interpret the signs concerning these times." (Matt. 16: 3).
Notes:
2) Specifically when unleavened bread 2014 and 2015
3) The Talmud is a set of books of Jewish traditions and Judaism, which was written by the rabbis between the third century and the fifth century AD. AD There are two versions of the Talmud, the Babylonian and the Jerusalem which consist of the Mishna and Gemara differently for each version (the Gemara is a commentary on the Mishnah). Although the Talmud is not a book inspired by God, however, it contains historical information and interesting details about Jewish traditions.
4) It is indeed here the final persecution because all the persecution of true believers were the victims in 2,000 years are described in the fifth seal, which obviously precedes the opening of the sixth seal (6 Apocalypse.: 9-11). Verse 11 tells us that last persecution.
Greetings and cordial Shalom.
