SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — Just in time for tax day, which may feel like trying to squeeze blood from a rock, the moon will appear blood-red in a total lunar eclipse on the night of April 14th and overnight into April 15h.
The total eclipse will be at its best over the Bay Area at 12:46 a.m. on April 15th, but the beginnings of the eclipse will be visible starting around 9:55 p.m. The moon will begin turning red at 12:08 a.m.
The eclipse is a rare celestial phenomenon easily observed with the naked eye, and as such it can be quite moving. Biblical prophecies talk of the sky turning dark (usually a solar eclipse) or the moon turning to blood (usually a lunar eclipse). The red color is created when sunlight is filtered around the earth’s atmosphere, and hits the moon. The same phenomenon is observed every sunrise and sunset as the sky lights up with oranges and reds.
In the next few years, a series of eclipses every two years may be interpreted by some Christians as fulfillment of an End-Times prophecy, a phenomenon called a lunar “tetrad” where there are four successive total lunar eclipses, with no partial eclipse in between. The next are October 8th, and April 8th and September 28th of next year. Tetrads are not unusual. There will have been eight of them in this century, but author John Hagee’s finds deeper meaning.
In his book listing for “Four Blood Moons” on Amazon.com, he writes “It is rare that scripture, science, and history align with each other, yet the last three series of Four Blood Moons have done exactly that. “
His top 100 bestseller references the Biblical book of Joel, 2:31, “The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.”
There were no blood moons in 1948.
This is where the experts "fudge" a little bit.
The blood moons were 1949-1950.
The reason 1948 is referenced so often is Israel's declared statehood in May 1948. But this was 11 months before the April blood moon of 1949.
(So God is off by a year in His calculations?)
Good question. Maybe they are throwing a bit of a fudge factor.

Bump for later.

Here I thought a “Bloody Moon” was what obama looked like after a session with Reggie...
All we need to do in that instance is to decide whether something covered with a live cam is part of biblical prophecy.
God is warning us.

May God bless Israel and all those who protect and defend her.
Yeppers!
I can't think of any candidates for a network to carry that broadcast. But they will be available for a long time. Maybe it will come to pass that TV can tear itself away from NFL games for a while.
Islam will try their biggest push of eradication of Israel near or on these dates of course.
If my kids were still in school I would keep them home, be vigilant for anything literally right out of the blue anywhere anytime, Islam and Muslims will become a hive mentality.

Okay, so pardon me, that’s the same question I was asking. Well, you would think it would be seen from the Holy Land at that.
It doesn’t have to be seen from Israel. It depends more on if the blood Moons occur on the Jewish holidays.
About an hour away.
