Just to be completely honest, it is not my fault.
.....which lined up perfectly with 4 Jewish Holidays (a blood moon)......
I am sure there is a work around here, but Yom Kippur was last week. Or is the Jewish calendar off?
Hence my thoughts of a world war or a medium single theater war but not necessarily Ezekiel 37!

I’ll take number one for $400, Alex.
And they went ahead and did it anyway.
Granted nothing happened, but the fact that they were willing to risk it anyway, just goes to show that Einstein was right about human stupidity.
Abolish the Fed! It was an artifice created by William Jennings Bryan, Woody Wilson and other racist, anti-liberty DemonKKKrats. Let the market have freedom.
Actually it did happen. Problem is, they didn’t anticipate that Gordon Freeman worked at CERN.

It may not have to do with true prophesy from the true God but if it did His prophesies also encompass what man may do. He knows all.
The weeklong Festival of Sukkot (Feast of Booths or Tabernacles) has finally arrived and begins tonight as the sun sets and the Blood Moon rises.
This is excerpted from my Messianic Bible Newsletter (http://free.messianicbible.com/).
“On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Lord’s Feast of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days. The first day is a sacred assembly; do no regular work. For seven days present offerings made to the Lord by fire, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and present an offering made to the Lord by fire. It is the closing assembly; do no regular work.” (Leviticus 23:34–36)
The weeklong Festival of Sukkot (Feast of Booths or Tabernacles) has finally arrived and begins tonight as the sun sets and the Blood Moon rises.
This holiday is so joyous that it is also called Z’man Simchateinu, the Season of Rejoicing!
Tonight, here in Israel and around the world, the Jewish People will be spending time in the sukkot (plural of sukkah) that they built when Yom Kippur ended just days ago.
While one of the main observances of this holiday is spending time in the sukkah, another key observance is the waving of the lulav (a bundle of date palm fond, myrtle, and willow) and an etrog (a deliciously fragrant lemon-like citrus) before the Lord.
“On the first day you are to take choice fruit from the trees, and palm fronds, leafy branches and poplars, and rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.” (Leviticus 23:40; see also Nehemiah 8:15)
This first night of Sukkot will be extra special, since the fourth and final lunar eclipse of the Blood Moon Tetrad (set of four consecutive eclipses) will light up tonight’s sky with a fabulous red glow.
This current tetrad has coincided with the Jewish feasts of Passover and Sukkot in 2014 and 2015 as it has eight other times since AD 162.
This final blood moon tonight, however, is a supermoon, which is a rare celestial spectacle.
Because the moon will be at its closest approach to the earth, it will look 30% brighter and 14% larger than when it is at its farthest. A wonderful treat for those who are spending the night in the Sukkah!
Rabbinic scholars point out that past tetrads coinciding with these Jewish holy days have come near turning points in Jewish history. For instance, one occurred in 1949–1950 after the formation of the state of Israel in 1948. The last Blood Moon Tetrad coincided with the Six Day War when Jerusalem returned to Jewish hands in 1967.
Many people, therefore, are greatly anticipating this Sukkot’s Blood Moon exactly because some of these moons have appeared so closely to events of such significance for the Jewish People.
The recent nuclear agreement with Iran by world powers, which seems to help move forward Iran’s ambitions to destroy Israel and could precipitate a major world war with Israel, underscores that significance.
Moreover, some have predicted this lunar eclipse will signal a major earthquake or devastating apocalypse before the return of Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah).
The prophecy in the Book of Joel is partially the reason for such predictions.
That prophecy states that the coming of the Messiah will be preceded by celestial wonders: the darkening of the sun—a solar eclipse (such as happened earlier this year)—and a Blood Moon (lunar eclipse):
“The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the LORD arrives.” (Joel 2:31)
However, let us also keep in mind that in addition to the sun darkening and the moon turning red, God says that He will “show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke.” (v. 30)
So, to be true to Scripture, we must look for all of these wonders and other events identified throughout Scripture to occur before that terrible day of the LORD.
