Four Blood Moons might be significant

the bible does say that the "day of jehovah" (armageddon) would be associated with the sun becoming dark followed by the moon turning to blood.

but the moon turning to blood is specific to a total lunar eclipse.

but Armageddon is a place not an event. lol

Armageddon as explained by the WTS is a situation. Basically, it is the last event of the "great tribulatoin" when Jehovah starts to kill off people loyal to the world governments. Governments are only in the minds of the people loyal to them. Kill off enough people and the government ceases to exist.

Armageddon thus is the "situation" where Jehovah and Christ face off against the ruling powers in the world. World rule must shift from the nations to Christ's kingdom at some point. That transition doesn't happen without the nations being destroyed since they don't give up world rule voluntarily. Specifically, the UN world government face off with Jehovah's armies when their time is up.

One thing that might be a bit different than the way the WTS depicts Armageddon, is that the spoils of the world will be spared for the survivors. So killing off masses of people will probably not be via massive earthquakes and thunder and lightning and volcanic eruption. Why leave a "post nuclear" world for the survivors to inherit and clean up, when you can do an Exodus number on them and just kill off everybody in their sleep? The context of Armageddon is a great feast of bodies for the birds to eat, not a lot of destroyed buildings. The Bible also says that people will go mad and will start killing themselves off. So in reality, lots and lots and lots of dead bodies being eaten by the birds, not a lot of thunder and lightning. The world's infrastructure will thus basically be left intact.

Isa 6:13 suggests one-third of the earth's population will survive to be ruled over by Christ and the 144,000.

So that is something wonderful to look forward to! World peace. One king. One priest. One religion. Good health. Life for 1000 years until Satan is let loose at the end of 1000 years. A world without the influence of Satan for 1000 years. Time for a change.

Of course, everybody will be equal so everybody will be basically doing their own laundry, living under their own vine and their own fig tree, essentially. That is, a world where everyone is equal and there is no lower class resembles a communistic state, doesn't it, except there will be no dishonest greedy politicians cheating everybody out of the common wealth. No doctors needed but in general everyone will do their part and share in the bounty. There will be no rich upper class, but also no poverty either.

LOL. You know, it just occurred to me that this post is really a SURVEY of the mental state of most/many in this group. Seems to me if Armageddon were to start immediately after the eclipse, there is nothing to prevent most to claim it was just a "coincidence" and had nothing to do with the eclipses.

I suppose I found it interesting that many non-JWs were paying attention to this and alerted me to the two prophecies linking two eclipses to Jehovah's Day. From a JW point of view, the sun turning dark and the moon into blood would have been symbolic and have a double meaning anyway; you know, the Sun representing Jesus and the Moon his bride, the 144,000. But then the moon turning to blood is specific to an eclipse, so maybe Armageddon (actually, the great tribulation) is actually foreboded by two literal eclipses! So I couldn't dismiss the prophecy as not possibly, indeed, referring to two literal eclipses that would begin Jehovah's Day in connection with this upcoming Passover.

Maybe we'll observe something else significant about this upcoming Passover in connection with the WTS? It is not obvious to me just what, though.

Anyway, 46 days and counting, right?

When does God intervene in the affairs of mankind?

by abiather in

though many sages have tried to describe god and his purpose, the best they could do was to declare neti, neti (not this, not this).

to the question of god, even buddha responded with silence!

jesus declared: truth will set you free but did not say what that truth is!

CharlieSmith1975

The Israelites used a lunar calendar. You do realize that both of those things tend to happen clustered together always because math and geometry, right? Not because Jesus?

That's the WHOLE point. The four eclipses happen on key Jewish festival days! A rare eclipse pattern that happen on specific Jewish holidays. That's what the fuss is about -- not just any eclipses.

You dont have a functioning bullshit detector do you?

But just in case, I'd do whatever I wanted to do in life before it's over, right? That's what this warning is about. The world may drastically change after April 4th. UN world rule is inevitable in our global economy world, don't you think?

ROFL! Believers are always in the minority and are often called crazy. No biggee. The world laughed at Noah until it started to rain -- then suddenly he was a hero. Masses of non-believers are part of what is supposed to happen.

PLUS, what I like about it is that it is an international sign. Everybody is not a witness or a Christian or a Jew or follow the Bible. But Armageddon will affect the entire world. So maybe this is God's own sign and warning to the rest of the world when things begin following these two rare eclipses?

Why cant the significant sign be, ... significant? Probably because of a lack of imagination and/or education of the scam artists who wrote that crap down in the 1st place.
We live in the information age, the excuses for falling for this claptrap are getting smaller every day.

Well, can't blame anyone for skepticism. BUT, it does appear the beginning of the great tribulation is associated in the Bible with two eclipses, a solar eclipse followed by a lunar eclipse. That's the first thing. Could this also be symbolic? Sure? But it's astronomy based because a lunar eclipse causes the moon to turn to blood.

The second thing, though, is how close we are to the UN taking over world government. Russia discussed this coalition of world governments in one world government under the UN but was skeptical only because they didn't want to join a world government that was just a puppet to US dictates. It's actually being discussed as a reality.

The UN must be the "eighth beast" that rules, that is, the last world power. Per the Bible it will rule for 1 year and 3 months (Daniel 7:12 "But as for the rest of the beasts, their rulerships were taken away, and there was a lengthening in life given to them for a time and a season." ) This reflects the nations joining the U.N. as the final world power. That's happening. Per the Bible during this time the UN will establish "peace and security" and when that happens then Armageddon is supposed to occur.

So just based on how powerful the UN is now, every solar eclipse-lunar eclipse combination, especially falling on Jewish festival dates would be a special focus anyway. So why NOT these two eclipses on March 20 and April 4th? World government makes sense. No nation today can survive isolated from the global community, including and especially the U.S. who owes all that debt.

This is the point where the UN destroys the harlot, Babylon the Great. But part of that is taking away all her wealth. So one incentive for world government is to get rid of national debts owed to international bankers and drug cartels.

So ultimately we are in critical expectation of the UN taking over to bring on Armageddon within a year. The fact that two eclipses are associated with the "Day of Jehovah" occurring soon simply heightens that alertness.

What this means is after April 4th there maybe a global economic crash that pushes the nations to join the UN and give it world authority. In that process, Babylon the Great will be destroyed. That means the the "Illuminati-based" secret organizations will be outlawed, including most specifically, the Federal Reserve and the CIA. So when that happens, basically we have a year and 3 months to go to Armageddon. The UN takeover of world government signals the beginning of the "Day of Jehovah" and the point of no return.

So many things were already happening and now we have these strange eclipses. That's all. Two eclipses are supposed to happen just before the "great tribulation" begins and we have two occurring March 20 and April 4. So. Ignore at your own risk.

1982 had 7 lunar eclipses in one year. Several years have 3, 4 and 6. How many times can you insist a sign is important before it's just "meh". For instance, what if the sign were something like a meteor shower? The thing you mention happens on a predictable basis and frequently. How is that a sign to keep on the watch for?

Did you even look at the video? These four eclipses are considered significant because the four eclipses fall on two primary Jewish holidays. The first and third fall of Passover and the 2nd and 4th on the first day of the Festival of Booths. Those dates are directly linked to Jesus. So the combination of WHEN the eclipses occur makes this a unique event. Eclipses might happen all the time but they don't all fall on key Jewish festival days.

"Two to four lunar eclipses occur every year. That means there have been four to eight thousand since New Testament times. Not a very good method for pointing out a specific time."

These are EXCEPTIONAL since the four total eclipses in a row, with no partial eclipses occur on Jewish festival days, the full moon of the Festival of Booths and Passover. So that's why there is extra focus. Plus in the middle of these eclipses is a total solar eclipse. So there is extra focus. These are not the usual eclipses.

Otherwise, I would tend to agree with you.

Actually, it might be after the two eclipses occur this March 20th and April 4th. The "Day of Jehovah" are said to follow a total solar eclipse and a total lunar eclipse and that's what is happening this year, with the lunar eclipse occurring on Passover!

Joel 2: 31 The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood

Before the coming of the great and awe-inspiring day of Jehovah."

Acts 2:20 "The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and illustrious day of Jehovah comes."

God brings about Armageddon 1 year and 3 months after the UN takes over world government, which could be considered to have been sparked by the "great tribulation" associated with some global economic meltdown. So that's what we're looking at.

That is, WHEN will God intervene? Looks like after the lunar eclipse on Passover, April 4th! Something to prepare for, anyway!

LOST GENERATION: You can watch all you want, just like the billions who have lived before you, and the billions that will come after. Nothings gonna happen."

ROFL! We'll see!! What is supposed to happen when Armageddon begins is that the UN is supposed to take over world government. That has to happen before the 'official" Armageddon takes place. But Jehovah's Day will likely begin with the great tribulation leading into Armageddon. Per Daniel, the nations are given a year and 3 months to rule before God's government takes over. They have to establish "peace and security" during that time and then "instant destruction" is upon them.

So WE'RE WATCHING! If the UN takes over world government due to some economic crisis then we have 1 year and 3 months (or less!) before Armageddon.

Ignore this if you want. But I'd stock up say a week's worth of supplies, lots of water, just in case. If you have a week's supply of food and water then you won't have to feel obligated to go out and get it at the stores which might be a riot zone.

In the meantime, other major events have happened that were timed specifically, like the HOLOCAUST. The Bible said 2/3rds of the Jews would be exterminated between 1940-1947 and they were! (Zech 13:8) So, so far the events leading up to Armageddon that are related to chronology have come true. The "Day of Jehovah" is associated with a solar eclipse followed by a lunar eclipse and that is happening on March 20th/April 4th. So. Consider yourself warned.

if it doesn't happen. Fine. But if it does, you can't say nobody warned you.
