"Assumptions of the
Blood Red Moons"
A lot of people have made the assumption
that the blood red moons predicted for 2014 or 2015 mark the
second coming. That is an assumption. We don't
really know that is the case. Perhaps it is a sign of
something significant. We had blood red moons in 1948/49
as well. Maybe it is a sign of something significant with
the nation of Israel. Maybe it marks the beginning of the
end. Maybe it marks an important marker before the
beginning of the end. Maybe it just marks something about
the Nation of Israel that will turn out to be a clearer sign
when the next cycle occurs sometime later down the road in a few
decades.
Some people have been SO sure that it marks THE "end" that they
have counted backwards to 2008 and assumed the False Messiah
took power on that date only because they have sure that the
blood red moons mark the end fo it all. However, we are
now past the 3 year mark since that happened and no sign of the
2 witnesses, no sign of anything that we know SHOULD happen in
the first 3.5 years of all that happens. By now, it should
be obvious that the attempt to count backwards 7 years from the
last blood red moon of 2015 has led some people to draw some
false conclusions, because nothing really happened in October
2008 that could really even be mistaken for the start of the
final 7 years.
It is possible that the whole book of Revelation could unfold in
front of our eyes faster than we realize. But we cannot be
3 years into the 7 years of Daniel 9. I think it makes
more sense to ask ourselves what 7 year treaties have been
formed that could fit the bill for Daniel 9 first, and use that
as more of a guide. So far, I don't see one that
does. But keep watching - sooner or later it will happen.
