The Blood Moon Tetrads THE BLOOD MOON TETRADS 19-48 TETRAD PATTERN SINCE ISRAEL’S INDEPENDENCE IN 1948 The Tetrad of 2014-15 has been eagerly anticipated by Bible scholars and non-theologians alike. There is a lot of talk, study and interpretation as to what the real significance with the Tetrad will turn out to be. From a purely Biblical perspective, one In 1949-50 can look at the most recent Tetrads that have occurred to possibly ascertain a logical assumption of what is to be a plausible outcome based on the prior Tetrads in recent times. Why there is an intense interest in the Tetrad of 2014-15 is that given War of Independence THE SCHEDULE FOR THE 2014-2015 TETRAD the prior patterns and history –as it pertains prophetically to the Nation of Israel, it has been associated with strife, war and bloodshed. Most notably these times of strife have specifically been attributed to when Israel was birthed in ‘One Day’ as a The 4 Total Lunar Eclipses occurred on the Passover and 1) Passover, nation in 1948 and when Israel recaptured the Old City of Jerusalem in 1967, where the 1st the 2nd Temples once stood. Perhaps the 3rd Tetrad in this sequence is heralding an event that will deal with the 3rd Temple to be rebuilt. Sukkot (Tabernacle) feasts of 1949 and 1950. The start of Apr 15, 2014 a Total Lunar Eclipse – Blood Moon the Tetrad occurred right after Israel declared sovereignty (Partial Solar Eclipse on April 29, 2014) and its declare A Tetrad is when 4 consecutive Total Lunar Eclipses occur; without any in-between Partial Lunar Eclipses. A Lunar Eclipse happens only at the time of a full moon. What is significance about some of the Tetrads is that only at certain key historical independence. It was on November 5, 1949 that Israel 2) Sukkot (Tabernacles) dates related to the Jewish nation have certain corresponding Tetrads occurred precisely on Jewish Feast Days, or as some would rather say on the LORD’s Feast Days called Moedim. Of all the major 7 Feasts of the LORD, only 2 Holy Feasts of official was recognized as a UN Member. Oct 8, 2014 a Total lunar Eclipse – Blood Moon YHWH fall on or correspond to a Full Moon, that of Passover and Sukkot or Tabernacles. The feast days are constant and repeat with a Passover and Sukkot or Tabernacles sequence pattern. (Partial Solar Eclipse on October 23, 2014) In 1967-68 If one studies the time from when Israel became a nation again in 1948, there are a total of 3 prominent Tetrads that occur that have this Passover and Sukkot pattern . Those specific Tetrads occurred in 1949-50, 1967-68 and now in 2014 and 2015, The 4 Total Lunar Eclipses occurred on the Passover and (Jewish Civil New Years Day Total Solar Eclipse on March 20, 2015) st Sukkot (Tabernacle) feasts of 1967 and 1968. The start of again on Passover and Sukkoth. Furthermore, what is extraordinary is that out of all the numerous Tetrads that have occurred since the 1 century, only 8 Tetrads have had this Passover-Sukkoth pattern, depending on the date referenced. It can be 3) Passover sown that in actuality, there are 9 Tetrads since Christ. Perhaps this particular Tetrad of 2014-2015 is heralding the beginning of the Tribulation and the impending 2nd Return of Christ thereafter, 7 years later. What is further peculiar, is that in the the Tetrad occurred right before the recapture of the Old City and Temple Mount of Jerusalem on June 7, 1967.

Saari 1.1 Metaphysics of solar eclipses p. 12 1.2 Calendar cycles of solar eclipses p. 20 Literature p. 26 To describe the two main types of solar eclipses in modern astronomy the old Latin terms – umbra, antumbra and penumbra are still used (Fig. 1.1). A “partial eclipse” (c. 35 %) occurs when the Sun and Moon are not exactly in line and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun. The term “central eclipse” (c. 65 %) is often used as a generic term for eclipses when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line. The strict definition of a central eclipse is an eclipse, during which the central line of the Moon’s umbra touches the Earth’s surface. However, extremely rare the part of the Moon’s umbra intersects with Earth, producing an annular or total eclipse, but not its central line. Such event is called a “non-central” total or annular eclipse [2]. Fig. 1.1. Main types of solar eclipses The central solar eclipses are subdivided into three main groups: a “total eclipse” (c. 27 %) occurs when the dark silhouette of the Moon completely obscures the Sun; an “annular eclipse” (c. 33 %) occurs when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun; a “hybrid eclipse” or annular/total eclipse (c. 5 %) at certain sites on the Earth’s surface appears as a total eclipse, whereas at other sites it looks as annular.

  • “Blood” Moons in Sequences of Four, and Occurring on Jewish Feast Days Have Been Accompanied by Fundamental Change for the Jewish People
    The past appearances of “blood” moons in sequences of four, and occurring on Jewish Feast Days have been accompanied by fundamental change for the Jewish People. Will it be the same in 2014 and 2015? The following is a very good presentation of this phenomenon from a Messianic group, Pray4Zion. Shalom Partner and Friend of Israel, We found the “blood-red moon” work interesting and began looking into possible connections to past and future “Jewish Feasts”… and to our amazement found there are very significant connections and trust that you will find this teaching fascinating too! “And I will show wonders in the heavens, and in the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. Joel 2:30 -31 1 “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable Day of the Lord come.” Acts 2:20 The Jewish Talmud (book of tradition / Interpretation) says; “When the moon is in eclipse, it is a bad omen for Israel. If its face is as red as blood, (it is a sign that) the sword is coming to the world.” Therefore: Lunar Eclipse = bad omen for the Jewish people and Israel; Blood Moon = sword coming; Solar Eclipse = bad omen for the world. Four, blood moons on Jewish Feast days within two years in Israel is very rare and has only occurred seven times since the time of Yeshua (Jesus).

    1 ANCIENT RIDDLES OF SOLAR ECLIPSES. Asymmetric Astronomy Second Edition By IGOR N. TAGANOV and VILLE-V.E. SAARI Russian Academy of Sciences Saint Petersburg 2016 2 Taganov, Igor N., Saari, Ville-V.E. Ancient Riddles of Solar Eclipses. Asymmetric Astronomy. Second Edition – Saint Petersburg: TIN, 2016. – 110 p., 53 ill. Electronic Edition ISBN 978-5-902632-28-3 © Taganov, Igor N.; Saari, Ville-V.E. 2016 The book examines some of the mysteries of ancient astronomical treatises, for example, known since the Middle Ages the “Wednesday paradox”, and the history of the emergence and spread in the East of the belief that the eclipses of the Sun and the Moon, as well as all the Universe geometry are defined by a single sacred number 108. The calendar cycles of solar eclipses, considered in the book, confirming the old assumption of Indian and Chinese astronomers in 6-8 centuries, show that the probability of a total solar eclipse is larger in the spring and summer months, and the probability of annular eclipse, on the contrary, is larger in the autumn and winter months. Analysis of ancient chronicles of solar and lunar eclipses discovers evidence of gradual deceleration of time, which is confirmed by modern astronomical observations of the orbital movement of the Earth, the Moon, Mercury and Venus. The cosmological deceleration of time is a consequence of the irreversibility of “physical” time, which leads to the fact that all the characteristic time intervals are shorter in the past than in the future. In theoretical cosmology, the use of the concept of decelerating physical time allows to represent the key cosmological parameters of the observable Universe in the form of simple functions of the fundamental physical constants.

  • TETRADS: Total Lunar Eclipse Calendars (BLOOD MOONS)
    TETRADS: Total Lunar Eclipse Calendars (BLOOD MOONS) There were apparently 56 blood moon tetrads between Abraham and Messiah Yeshua, just as there have been 56 tetrads between Messiah and now. While that’s an interesting symmetry (7 [perfection] x 8 [new beginnings]), it does go to show that tetrads aren’t all that uncommon. It’s in their falling on the Divine Appointed Times (Moeds) that make them interesting. In the original Hebrew, Moeds were part of the purpose of the sun and the moon. Gen 1:14 “And God said, “let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years.” This NIV translation has it more precise than many other versions. Sacred times is often translated as seasons, but is actually the word, Moed. Same as the sacred Feasts … The Divine Appointed Times. If you query online the words “Set times in Hebrew,” this is what you will find: ("Festivals" ,דמוע :(Hebrew Moed Strong's Concordance Moed: appointed time, place, or meeting מוֹעֵד :Word Original Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: moed Phonetic Spelling: (mo-ade') Short Definition: meeting Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Appointed sign, time, place of, solemn assembly, congregation, set, solemn feast Or moled {mo-ade'}; or (feminine) moweadah (2 Chronicles 8:13) {mo-aw-daw'}; from ya'ad; properly, an appointment, i.e. A fixed time or season; specifically, a festival; conventionally a year; by implication, an assembly (as convened for a definite purpose); technically the congregation; by extension, the place of meeting; also a signal (as appointed beforehand) -- appointed (sign, time), (place of, solemn) assembly, congregation, (set, solemn) feast, (appointed, due) season, solemn(-ity), synogogue, (set) time (appointed).

  • Saros Cycles & Eclipses
    Harvest Moon • Full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, and can come anywhere from two weeks before to two weeks after the autumnal equinox. • Northern Hemisphere: 2015 autumnal equinox comes on September 23, so the September 28 full moon counts as the Northern Hemisphere’s Harvest Moon. • This year’s Harvest Moon is the closest and largest full moon of the year. • In autumn, the ecliptic – or path of the sun, moon and planets – makes a narrow angle with the evening horizon, causing the location of the moonrise on the horizon to be farther north along the eastern horizon for several nights in The narrow angle of the ecliptic means the moon rises succession. noticeably farther north on the horizon, from one night to the next.

  • The Altar of Sacrifice
    THE ALTAR OF SACRIFICE The purpose of this chart is to present several points of interest that gives credence to the purported crucifixion day of Jesus Christ on April 14, 32 AD. Although the date is in dispute, the date of Christ’s crucifixion and death appears to be pegged to a celestial signs. The popular notion of a 33 AD date and/or Jesus being 33 years is idealistic but does not account for the BC years. This study presents a possible date association solely based on astronomical patterns taken from the patterns of the lunar and solar cycles since Sep 11, -3 BC and the Mazzaroth pattern of the cycles of the Precession of the Equinox. Contrary to popular belief, there was no Tetrad or 4 consecutive Blood Moons from 27-34 AD. There were 4 partial solar eclipses in a row in 32 AD. There is only 1 possible eclipse that occurs on a Passover, April 14, 32 AD during this time span of Jesus’ age of 33 at the time of His crucifixion. Few times in history the Jewish and Western calendars synchronize. One such year was in 2014 where Passover occurred on the 14th of April as in the case in 32 AD. The full moon occurred on the 14th of April as all Passovers have to start with a full moon. What is peculiar about this full moon was that it was a Blood Moon, perhaps reminiscent of the Blood Moon that occurred the very midnight hour of the first Passover in Egypt. It also started the 2014-15 sequence of the Tetrad Blood Moons many believe were and are a harbinger.

It is then possible for the Moon to pass through Earth’s penumbral or umbral shadows thereby producing an eclipse. There are three types of lunar eclipses: 1. Penumbral - Moon traverses Earth’s penumbral shadow (Moon misses Earth’s umbral shadow) 2. Partial - Moon traverses Earth’s penumbral and umbral shadows (Moon does not pass completely into Earth’s umbra) 3. Total - Moon traverses Earth’s penumbral and umbral shadows (Moon passes completely into Earth’s umbra) The visual appearance of these eclipse types differs dramatically from each other. Lunar Eclipses: 2001 to 2100 During the 21st century CE[1], Earth will experience 228 lunar eclipses. The following table shows the number of eclipses of each type over this period. http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEcat5/LE2001-2100.html (1 of 25)11/5/2014 9:47:36 AM Catalog of Lunar Eclipses: 2001 to 2100 Lunar Eclipses: 2001 - 2100 Eclipse Type Symbol Number Percent All Eclipses - 228 100.0% Penumbral N 86 37.7% Partial P 57 25.0% Total T 85 37.3% Total eclipses can be further classified as either central or non-central: ● Central - Some portion of the Moon passes directly through the center of Earth’s umbral shadow.
