Approaching full moon...to be obscured later this week.
"The next total lunar eclipse will occur on July 27, 2018. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through Earth’s shadow, at which point it takes on a reddish tint, which is why the eclipse is colloquially called a "blood moon." You won't want to miss this eclipse, as it will be the longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century, lasting one hour and 43 minutes." (Quote from google) Much is made about "blood moons" in popular theology today. Several books have come out recently about blood moons. There are some current writings indicating that this will be a powerful time. We read about this on line this week. Scripture tells us in Genesis 1:16 "God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also." Often, God is communicating to us through His creation. What message do you think we should be expecting from Him?
This photo is not of the eclipse, but is a few days before.
The eclipses are an event that occurs a few moments so I think we should enjoy them
It's another lunar eclipse on another Jewish holiday.

Tu B'Av Jul 27, 2018 F Jewish holiday of love, similar to Valentine's Day
I think it's another confirmation from God that events involving Israel are coming. Perhaps soon. The last event prior to the pre-trib rapture of the church is the fulfillment of the Ezekiel 38 and 39 prophecies about a multinational attack on Israel so great that God himself protects Israel. And that the Israelites will burn the weapons for fuel for 7 years. So clearly that has to happen before the start of the 7 year Great Tribulation period. Which can't start until the world ruler makes a 7 year peace treaty with Israel.
(Ezekiel 38:2-12 NIV) "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him {3} and say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. {4} I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army--your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. {5} Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, {6} also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops--the many nations with you. {7} "'Get ready; be prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them. {8} After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety. {9} You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land. {10} "'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. {11} You will say, "I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people--all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. {12} I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land."
(Ezekiel 38:15-23 NIV) You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army. {16} You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, O Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I show myself holy through you before their eyes. {17} "'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Are you not the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel? At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. {18} This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. {19} In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. {20} The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. {21} I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD. Every man's sword will be against his brother. {22} I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. {23} And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'
(Ezekiel 39:4 NIV) On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds and to the wild animals.
(Ezekiel 39:9-10 NIV) "'Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up--the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel. {10} They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel. And they will plunder those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign LORD.
(Daniel 9:27 NIV) He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."
I love this. I am also a bit of an astrology in addition to being a very devout Christian (like science, you can really see God’s fingerprints in the details! And Genesis supports that, I believe the rest of that scripture about God creating the lights and stars says He made them also for “signs and wonders.”), and from an astrological standpoint, yes, this blood moon eclipse is supposed to pack a punch. It’s conjoining what is called the south node — the point of release for hangups, bad habits, and stuff we want to let go of, and the combination of planets around it and opposing it are inviting us to let go of all that keeps us separated from our hearts. I’ve been feeling it a lot lately, and hearing a lot about it in church, about how we are called to live fully authentic lives of spiritual integrity... in the world, but not of the world. Asking us how have we become slaves to the world’s way of doing things, instead of embracing the love and beauty and wholesomeness of the life God wants for us.
I love this, His Creation constantly breathes His name, it’s just that so many of us are too busy/afraid/preoccupied to look, let alone listen.
eclipses are phenomena that are also the work of GOD since it allows that at some point you find these stars in their journey around the earth. What message do you think we should expect from him? It tells us that as everything there is a beginning and an end in each journey that gives everything created by God.
my brother, the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ is coming, we are prepared the Holy Scriptures announced in Revelation, end of the era
