Summary of the 2015 Heavenly Signs bracketed by Venus-Mars Conjunctions

The Biblical Astronomy of the Venus-Mars Conjunction in February 2015 was a unique heavenly sign, the first of two Venus-Mars conjunctions in 2015. The first Venus-Mars union from Feb. 21-22 in Pisces, called attention to the Spring Equinox on March 20th/Nisan 1, while the second Venus-Mars conjunction takes place November 3rd, 2015 in Virgo. This blog post serves as a brief summary of the 2015 celestial activity bracketed between these Venus-Mars conjunctions.

We noted the first conjunction of Venus-Mars on Feb. 21-22, was located on the ecliptic near where the Sun marked the Spring Equinox on March 20th., 2015. This pointed out the opening of Ecclesiastical year on the Hebrew Calendar, on March 20th/Nisan 1 with a singular Total Solar Eclipse at the North Pole. Having the Sabbatical year marked not only by planetary conjunctions, but also with the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015, certainly distinguishes the Biblical Astronomy this Sabbatical year above the norm in the Celestial Intelligent Design of the Creator’s temporal order. In multiple Blood Moon Blogs this year we have compared the heavenly signs of 3 to 1 BC surrounding the birth of Christ, with those of the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015, focusing on the Jupiter-Venus conjunctions in both periods.

The fact that there were also 2 Venus-Mars unions framing the central Jupiter-Venus union between March 31st, and Dec. 9th, 2 BC, marking the birth of Christ, sets a precedent that we found also in 2015, prior to the glory of the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. In this light, it was with great interest that we discovered between the 2 Venus-Mars conjunctions of 2015, 3 Jupiter-Venus unions occurred in Leo, followed by Jupiter-Venus unions in Virgo, in both 2016 and 2017. As we view the heavenly signs marking the birth of Christ from 3 to 1 BC, we pointed out a series of parallels between these signs, and the current period concluded in the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015. By focusing on the specific planetary conjunctions that set the pattern in marking the birth of Christ and looking for these signs repeating in the modern context of the Blood Moons, we follow the Magi’s example, that should lead us to the victorious Return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

These two Venus -Mars conjunctions of 2015 effectively frame the crescendo of the Blood Moon Tetrad in 2015, between Feb. 21-22 and Nov. 3rd. This brought to mind some similar heavenly signs involving Venus and Mars surrounding the birth of Christ. Between the March 31st, 2 BC Venus-Mars-Saturn conjunction and the Venus-Mars union of 12-9–2 BC, some key heavenly signs marking the birth of Christ enlightened the heavens. Since the Venus-Mars conjunctions of 2015 bracket the crescendo of the Blood Moon Tetrad in the Sabbatical year of 2015, we see Venus-the bright and Morning Star unified with Mars, the Warrior Archangel Michael, in their battle against the forces of darkness. Even as the Dragon attempted to take out the promised seed of Israel, Jesus Christ at his birth, so the persecution of Israel has continued, as this series of Blood Moon Tetrads has witnessed over the last 200 centuries, especially since the rebirth of the state of Israel marked by the modern Blood Moon Tetrad of 1948-1949. Ever since the prophecy of the Promised Seed first took place in [Gen. 3:14-15] spiritual warfare has been waged [Rev. 12:7] between the Serpent’s forces of darkness and the Seed of the Woman, coming to points of crisis as seen in the dual fulfillment of [Revelation 12:1-4].

During our 2015 posts, we have referred to this dual significance in end times prophecy of [Rev. 12] as it relates both to the sufferings and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, in his ministry as prophet, priest and King to present his kingdom to Israel, that was rejected 2000 years ago, and now is being revisited as we complete the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014–2015 with heavenly signs presaging his glorious Second Coming, to install his kingdom of everlasting righteousness and peace. Figure B below, depicts Mary crowned with the 12 Stars/Tribes of the Hebrew Zodiac [Gen. 37: 9-11] holding the infant Jesus, with the Crescent Moon at her feet. Here Jesus embodies the Sun clothing Virgo with the Moon at her feet as seen on Sept. 11th, 3 BC in the heavenly signs marking the Birth of Jesus Christ. [Figure C.]

Modern stargazers have at times struggled to fit the crown of 12 stars around Virgo’s head, with the heavenly signs marking his birth and Second Coming, but as Gen. 37 tells us in Joseph’s dream, the Sun, Moon and 11 Stars bowed down to Joseph as his 11 brothers bowed at his feet in Egypt, fulfilling his dream. Both the Great Sphinx and Joseph’s Dream show the 3-fold Solar, Lunar and Stellar aspects of the Hebrew Calendar, and as we view Virgo Crowned with the 12 Stars/Signs/Tribes of the Hebrew Zodiac in the context of the heavenly signs taking place in Virgo and Leo-the elements of the Great Sphinx, the truths of the Celestial Sphinx come into focus.

Figure B. Mary Crowned with 12 Stars holding Jesus with the Moon at her feet.

There have been 3 Jupiter-Venus Conjunctions in 2015, all in Leo, with additional Jupiter-Venus unions coming in Virgo in 2016-17. These sign typify Jupiter-the King Planet uniting with Venus-the Bright and Morning Star, in Leo the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, [Rev. 5:5]. As there were 3 Jupiter-Venus unions marking the birth of Christ in 3-2 BC, so this triple union of Jupiter-Venus aligned with Regulus in Leo, reflects a similar spiritual light in 2015. In fact the Rev. 12 heavenly sign: the [Sun clothing Virgo with the Crescent Moon at her feet] on September 17th, 2015 is announced by Mercury-Gabriel just outside the womb area of Virgo above Spica/Al Zimach, 2 years in advance of the repeat of the Great Wonder in Heaven, on Sept. 23rd 2017!

As we compare this to the heavenly signs of The Celestial Prelude, marking the birth of Christ, there was a key planetary alignment and a Blood Moon both in Pisces, exactly two years apart on Sept. 15th, 7 BC and the same date in 5 BC. These heavenly signs not only directed the Magi’s attention to the sign Virgo, clothed with the Sun, but also the lunar eclipse on September 15th of 5 BC, establishing that the Magi should be watchful of lunar activity marking Christ’s birth. This framed the 42 minute period between Sunset and Moon-set on the only day of the year when Virgo “was clothed with the Sun and the Moon at her feet, as prescribed in Rev. 12:1. It is thus quite significant leading up to the Return of Christ, that another two year period from the Day of Atonement: 9-23-2015 to the Rev. 12:1 sign on 9-23-2017, is being marked in the heavens, as the Birth of Christ. Just as Jupiter was recognized by the Magi as “His Star” [Matt. 2:2] at the birth of Christ, so Jupiter the King Planet is actually being “birthed” during the two weeks leading up to this sign of “the Sun clothing Virgo with the Moon at her feet,” on 9-23-2017. As we can see, the parallels between the Celestial Prelude of the Birth of Christ and his glorious Return are eye-opening!

Figure C. Revelation 12:1-2 Heavenly Signs

However, there will be more heavenly signs involving Jupiter-Venus after this, leading up to the birthing of Jupiter in retrograde motion in Virgo. The following dates review the Jupiter-Venus conjunctions in Leo during the Hebrew Sabbatical year, leading into the Jubilee year of 2015-2016:

June 30th- July 1, 2015 [Jupiter-Venus in Leo]
July 31st, 2015 [Jupiter-Venus in Leo]
October 25-26th, 2015 [Jupiter-Venus in Leo]
October 28th, 2015 [Jupiter-Venus, Mars unite in a 1 degree triangular massing]

The following dates, show similar Jupiter-Venus conjunctions in Virgo in 2016-2017:

July 27th, 2016
Aug. 26-27th, 2016 [Jupiter enters Virgo]
Feb. 26th, 2017
Sept. 23rd, 2017 [Virgo clothed with the Sun/Moon @ feet]-Rev. 12:1-2
Nov. 13th, 2017

The 3 Jupiter-Venus Conjunctions marking the birth of Christ compare to the three Jupiter-Venus Conjunctions of 2015, however there were additional heavenly signs involving Jupiter–Venus marking his birth. On August 27th and 28th reflected in the chart above and the graphic below, there was a massing of planets including Jupiter-Venus, followed by a planetary alignment of Jupiter, Venus, Mars, with the king star Regulus in Leo, signify the Crown of 12 stars above the head of the Woman. This planetary alignment in Leo, along with the Rev. 12 signs marking the birth of Christ [Sun clothing Virgo with the Moon at her feet] will be repeated again on September 23rd, 2017!

As we compare these heavenly signs around the birth of Christ with the current signs of the Blood Moon Tetrad leading to 2017, we note that even as Jupiter moves in its annual retrograde motion entering Virgo in August 26-27th 2016, for a total of 294 days, taking us into 2017, it only spends 40 days in Virgo’s mid-section, symbolizing the birthing of the Messianic Kingdom. Jupiter marks its entrance into Virgo with the second Jupiter-Venus union of 2016. This is worthy of our attention indicating a key event with the King Planet–Jupiter related to his virgin Bride–Virgo/Israel leading to his glorious Second Coming. This alerts us to be watchful of the Sun Clothing Virgo leading us directly to the signs of 9-23-2017!

As we have noted, the Modern Blood Moon Tetrads in 1948-49 and 1967-68, have documented the restoration of Israel, first as a nation-state, and secondly with their capital city of Jerusalem being restored to them in 1967, both marked by Blood Moon Tetrads. The 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad points to the third stage of Israel and Jerusalem’s restoration, which is the Temple itself. As God departed from the Temple and Jerusalem in stages, seen in Ezekiel 10, so He returns in the stages we are witnessing in the modern Blood Moon Tetrads on these dates in 1949-50 and 1967-68. As a side note this also establishes that the Apostles received the gift Holy Spirit in the form of Speaking in Tongues, on the Day of Pentecost when they were required to be in the Temple, not in their sleeping quarters-the “upper room.” The Temple was the center of spiritual activity for Israel as a nation, and is the only logical place for this prophecy of Christ to be fulfilled. Thus we are watching with great interest what transpires concerning rebuilding of the Temple of Jerusalem, and the prophesied reinstatement of its Daily Sacrifices for Israel.

The events playing out in today’s Middle East region, show a number of nations resembling the Gog-Magog alliance of Bible [Ezek. 38-39. 38:8-16] Prophecy [Russia, Iran, Turkey, etc.] conducting military operations around Israel, that have vowed to remove Israel from the maps of the middle east. This is setting the stage for the end of days-the final events of human history, leading up to the glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ. All this is taking place before our eyes as we see Russian airstrikes in Syria and Iraq increase while the US influence continues its flagging decline under the Obama Administration. God however will protect and fight for Israel even as He has all throughout Biblical history and all the efforts of mankind to destroy Israel will come to nothing, except their own destruction. After all Who can fight against the Almighty and win? Figure D below shows the nations prophesied by Ezekiel and other Biblical prophets, to come against Israel in the end times.

Figure D.

As the 2015 Blood Moon Tetrad has concluded, a key aspect of Joel’s Prophecy [Acts 2:20] are being fulfilled before our eyes.

Acts 2:20 “The Sun shall be turned into darkness and the Moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord Come.”

It was not a coincidence the Apostle Peter quoted the words of Joel in the preamble of his Pentecost sermon; [Acts 2:17-20] opening the Age of Grace. This period of God’s awesome blessing which brought us the availability of the spiritual new birth, was kept secret by God since the World began, [Rom. 16:25-27, Eph. 3:2-7]. Now we stand at the precipice of the fulfillment of this wonderful Age, the end of which Peter prophesied at its inception, whose conclusion will witness the ultimate victory over the forces of darkness told in the heavens by these specific celestial signs. The series of partial/total solar eclipses on the Lord’s Feasts and holy days, along with the series of Blood Moon Tetrads leading to the concluding Blood Moons we have just witnessed, initiates the completion of the set of preliminary heavenly signs that Joel prophesied would take place. Since there are no more Blood Moon Lunar or Solar eclipses scheduled to fall on Hebrew Feast days for the next 500+ years, there has never been a time in human history where all the prophetic requirements leading to the End of Days has been in place like they are now. Joel told us these signs would occur “before the great and notable day of the Lord,” referring to the long-awaited return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Recognition of the specifics of how the second fulfilling of [Rev. 12:1-4] comes to pass, along with the key planetary conjunctions and other heavenly signs, involved in the completion of this scenario, will tell the tale of the Biblical Astronomy of the End of Days, as we countdown to 2017.

2015 Jupiter-Venus Triple conjunction and the Birth and Return of Christ

Birth of Jesus Christ — Biblical Astronomy of the Birth of Christ

2015 Jupiter-Venus Triple Conjunction and the Birth and Return of Christ

As we summarize the climax of the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015, we have noted a number of heavenly signs in the context of this current Blood Moon Tetrad reflecting the celestial glory of heavenly signs surrounding the Birth of Christ. In previous Blood Moon blog posts, we introduced the Triple conjunction of Jupiter-Venus that kicked off on July 1st, 2015. This initial Jupiter-Venus conjunction was all over the newscasts, and current events, being compared to the brilliant June 17th Jupiter-Venus planetary conjunction in 2 BC, 9 months after the birth of Christ. This is one of many indicators of the popularity of the Blood Moons in the public eye, as the Blood Moon mania grabbed the headlines of many major media outlets. The resemblance of these current heavenly signs, to the birth signs of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, were noted in detail as the “end times awareness” shot off the charts. The following synopsis of heavenly signs from July 1st to October of 2015, following the final Super Blood Moon of the 2014-2015-Tetrad, shows the continuing theme of the triple planetary conjunction of Jupiter-Venus, with the 3rd union on October 25th-26th.

June 30th- July 1, 2015 [Jupiter-Venus]
July 17th, 2015 [Venus-Regulus]
July 31st, 2015 [Jupiter-Venus]
Sept. 13th 2015 [Partial Solar Eclipse-Rosh Hashanah]
Sept. 17th 2015 [Sun clothing Virgo with the Moon at her feet]
Sept. 17th 2015 [Mercury-Spica in Virgo]
Sept. 23rd, 2015 Hebrew Jubilee opens on the Day of Atonement
Sept. 28th 2015 [Final Super Blood Moon, Feast of Trumpets]
October 3rd, 2015 Planetary Alignment in Leo
October 8th, 2015 [Venus-Regulus in Leo]
October 17th-18th, 2015 [Jupiter-Mars in Leo]
October 21st, 2015 [Orionids Meteor Peak]
October 25-26th, 2015 [Jupiter-Venus]
October 28th, 2015 [Jupiter-Venus, Mars unite in a 1 degree triangular massing]
October 29th, 2015 [Mercury -Spica in Virgo]
Nov. 2-3rd, 2015 [Venus-Mars]

September 17th, 2015 was a key date above since it marked not only the Rev. 12 sign of the Sun clothing Virgo with the Moon at her feet, but also the first of two Mercury-Spica conjunctions in Virgo, the 2nd one on October 29th. The September 17th sign from Rev. 12, takes place two years before the Great Wonder of Rev. 12 rewinds in the heavens in Sept. 2017, just as at the birth of Christ. This is emphasized with the two Mercury-Spica unions in Virgo, within a 6-week period. Mercury-Gabriel, the messenger arch-angel is announcing the nearness of the Lord Jesus Christ, returning FOR his Saints in the Church of the Body of Christ. The star Spica, the brightest star in Virgo, embodies the Promised Seed-Jesus Christ in his four-fold ministry as King, Son of Man, Servant and Son of God, as seen in the Four Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

There is also a 1 degree Triangular massing of Jupiter-Venus, Mars in Leo on October 28th, 2015, which is preceded earlier in the month with a planetary alignment with Regulus in Leo, [see Figure 1 below]. This is significant due to the resemblance again of the Rev. 12 heavenly sign, where the Woman–Virgo is crowned with 12 stars, consisting of the 9 fixed stars in Leo, combined with the planets Jupiter, Venus and Mars, forming the Crown of 12 stars over Virgo’s head. This alignment sets the stage for the Feast of Tabernacles week, marked by the Super Blood Moon of Sept. 28th. A very similar planetary alignment will be seen again in Sept. of 2017, [Figure 2.] involving the same players except Mercury will replace Jupiter in Leo, since Jupiter will be birthed in Virgo. This serves as key celestial foreshadowing 2 years prior to this birthing of Jupiter in Virgo.

Figure 1. Planetary Alignment in Leo, October 3rd, 2015

As there were 3 Jupiter-Venus Conjunctions marking the Rev. 12 birth signs of Christ in 3-2 BC, so this triple alignment of Jupiter-Mars, & Venus in Leo with Regulus, reflects a similar spiritual light in the context of the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014–2015. In fact the Rev. 12 heavenly sign: the [Sun clothing Virgo with the Crescent Moon at her feet] on September 17th, 2015 is announced by Mercury-Gabriel located just outside the womb area of Virgo, united with Spica/Al Zimach, on this day 2 years ahead of the rewind of the Great Wonder in Heaven, on Sept. 23rd 2017! There will however be more heavenly signs involving Jupiter-Venus in the next 2 years, leading up to the birthing of Jupiter in retrograde motion in Virgo’s womb in 2017.

Figure 2. Rev.12 Sign [Sun clothing Virgo with the Moon at her feet]

As we have seen with both sets of heavenly signs surrounding the Birth of Christ and his victorious Return The King Planet Jupiter as the Star of the Messiah, and Venus-the Bright and Morning Star are highly prominent in marking and bracketing the key signs in the dual-purpose of Revelation 12, in marking both the birth and return of Christ.

Another key with the final Super Blood Moon is that it takes place after the Hebrew 50-year Jubilee opened on the Day of Atonement on Sept. 23rd, 2015. This is interesting since the Super Blood Moon was the first Blood Moon of the 2014-2015 Tetrad that was visible in Jerusalem. As we connect the dots with the two previous Jubilees in 1917 & 1967, we find an intriguing history related to the restoration of Israel. In 1917 Jerusalem was liberated from the Ottoman Turks by the British under General Allenby, just a few weeks after the Balfour Declaration had promised Israel a homeland. An interesting note here is that this date in Dec. 1917 represents a prophetic time span of seven year cycles [360 x 7] totaling 2,520 years from 604 BC when King Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem, leading Israel away into the Babylonian Captivity. During this campaign, General Allenby’s planes buzzed Jerusalem with numerous fly-overs, dropping surrender leaflets on the Ottoman forces, causing the Turks to “wave the white flag” without casualty. As Isaiah tells us regarding the way Jerusalem would be Delivered;

Isaiah 31:4b-5: “so shall the Lord of Hosts come down to fight for Mt. Zion and for the hill thereof, As birds flying, so will the Lord of Hosts defend Jerusalem; defending, also He will deliver it; and passing over, He will preserve it.”

In the details of this deliverance we can see the Hand of the Almighty working to fulfill this promise, even in the motto inscribed on the badge of the bomber squadron chosen to liberate Jerusalem which read: “I spread my wings and keep my promise.” This Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps took Jerusalem “as flying birds” and defended it, and passing over it, preserved it, fulfilling every detail of this prophecy.

In the next Jubilee of 1967, Jerusalem was reclaimed by Israel for the first time in nearly 2000 years, in the 6-day War with Egypt which was also marked by the 1967-68 Blood Moon Tetrad. When we add to this that the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad was the first one ever to mark a Shemitah year with solar and lunar eclipses, leading into the Hebrew Jubilee cycle, we can certainly see the emphasis the Almighty has placed on these key Hebrew Calendar dates in these last days.

As we have seen the Blood Moon Tetrads coincide with Hebrew feast and holy days, so God was calling our attention to these feasts to honor Him. We are also seeing Him call attention to the seven year Shemitah cycle leading to the seventh of these cycles in the Jubilee, so that both the Gentile world and Israel would repent and return into fellowship with the Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. The Almighty is moving heaven and earth with added signs of the end times to lovingly call us back to his side. Let us forsake our prideful, and sinful ways and enjoy the abundant peace and prosperity that He has set aside for those who love Him by keeping His commandments!

The Biblical Astronomy of the Super Blood Moon on 9-28-2015

The Biblical Astronomy of the Super Blood Moon on 9-29-2015

As we consider the Solar and Lunar signs and how they relate to the Hebrew Calendar in September of 2015, the heavens are speaking loudly to those who are listening. September 2015 is super packed with heavenly signs, capped off with the first Super Blood Moon on a Hebrew feast during a Blood Moon Tetrad.

[Joel 2:31, Matthew 24:29-34, Mark 13:24, Acts 2:20].

There have only been eight Blood Moon Tetrads since the Ascension of Christ. The modern Blood Moon Lunar Tetrads have consistently happened on Passover and Tabernacles – the first and last of the 7 Biblical feasts, and have always been indicative of persecution and/or war for Israel. These Alpha and Omega heavenly signs linked to the Hebrew Feasts are notable also because they emphasize the entire set of 7 key feasts marking the first and last holy days with the Blood Moons. They have emphasized the order of these feasts in history related to prophecy and the Return of Christ. There is also a long standing Jewish tradition linking the Second Coming of Jesus Christ with the Feast of Tabernacles, since Christ will finally “Tabernacle among us.” During the last 2000 years of the Age of Grace, Israel has been dispersed and persecuted among the Gentile nations, yet the Almighty has protected them even though Israel did not keep God’s Feasts as a unified body. Since the Nation of Israel was reformed in 1948, the Heavenly Father has consistently reminded Israel of His providential protection, restoring them in stages. The Blood Moon Lunar Tetrads and Solar Eclipses have served to mark these feasts, while the specific acts of God’s deliverance and restoration brought Israel back together as a nation, retaking Jerusalem as their holiest capital city. As the citizens of Israel have shared in their national restoration, they have also re-awakened to recognizing the Heavenly Father, and His perpetual Feasts. The Blood Moon Lunar Tetrad and Solar Eclipses, have stood out because of they are linked to Hebrew Feast and holy days. The Creator views these convocations as His Feasts. These perpetual feasts are designed for humanity to honor the Almighty as the ultimate Source of Light, Life and Love in Creation.

The current Blood Moon Tetrad cycle is concluding with the Super Blood Moon on the Tabernacles Feast, September 28, 2015. The history of Blood Moon Tetrads teaches we should expect efforts to persecute Israel along with the Christian Church, while remaining cognizant of how the Almighty protects His people. As noted above, the modern Blood Moon Tetrads have been significant in marking Israel’s restoration, as a sovereign nation, with its reclaiming of Jerusalem. The next logical step observers are on the look out for relates to the restoration of the Temple of Israel and its daily sacrifices. Preparation along these lines has been active in Israel for a number of years, but we should expect some developments in this area along political fronts in the near future. As the modern Blood Moon Lunar Tetrads have drawn attention to the Hebrew Feasts, a review of these seven Feasts, is in order with special emphasis on the yet to be fulfilled Fall Feasts.

The FALL FEASTS OF ISRAEL

Jehovah’s feasts are referenced in Leviticus 23. The seven feasts are Feast of Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of First Fruits, Feast of Weeks or Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) and Feast of Tabernacles. God has done miraculous things for Israel on these days, as He continues to do today!

The first four feasts take place in the Spring of the Hebrew Calendar, which have already been fulfilled by Jesus as the embodiment of the Passover Lamb, the Unleavened Bread of Life, the first fruits of the dead, and the personification of the gift of holy spirit given on the day of Pentecost.

Jesus died on the cross exactly at the hour that the priests offered a lamb on the altar in Jerusalem for the evening sacrifice on Passover. As the priest proclaimed; “It is finished,” referring to the sacrifices in the temple, Jesus also declared at 3pm that day in the month of Nisan; “It is finished.” Jesus not only fulfilled every jot and tittle of the OT Law in his suffering, but His complete sacrifice was finished for the redemption of all mankind. The Feast of Unleavened Bread took place the next day. Jesus was already crucified. He was the Unleavened Bread, which he declared in John 6:35; “I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger.” (KJV)

The Feast of First Fruits represents the first part of the harvest. When Jesus arose from the dead, He became the First Fruits, or the First to rise from the dead by God’s power, indicating that the remainder of the harvest in Christ would also be risen. [Rom. 11:16]

1 Corinthians 15:20 “But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.” (NAS) Jesus arose from the dead on the precise day of the Feast of First Fruits. 50 days following Passover comes the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost.

Acts 2:1-4 “When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”

Pentecost links with the same date on the Hebrew calendar and the central candlestick on the Menorah, when fire descended on Mt. Sinai, and Moses received the Ten Commandments. The last three feasts occur in the fall of the year, seen in the last three candlesticks of the Menorah.

Passover/Bread/1st Fruits/Weeks/Trumpets/Kippur/Tabernacles

Feast of Trumpets is called a hidden feast, primarily falling in September/Tishri, the 7th and holiest month on the Hebrew Calendar. Moses was commanded by God to make two straight silver trumpets, whose blasts call a holy assemblage in Israel. These trumpet blasts can also signify a war-cry or an expression of joy.

Leviticus 23:23-24 says, “Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a Sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. ‘” (NKJV)

This is a two day feast taking place on a New Moon under dark skies. There is also a marriage custom in Israel of the bridegroom arriving at night with friends to carry away his bride. He awakens her to secret her away, with the prior approval of the family. This 2-day feast may speak to the 2 phases of Christ’s victorious return for his Church as seen below. These and other Hebrew wedding details, paint a picture of Christ coming for His people. There are however different gatherings for different groups of God’s people. This has caused untold confusion among Christians everywhere. The Gathering Together; [2 Thess. 2:1], popularly known as the “Rapture,” is not a resurrection by definition, because Jesus does not grace us with his personal presence [parousia] upon the earth, we meet him in the air, [1 Thess. 4:13-18]. People have confused the Rapture with these Resurrections along with the groups of believers linked with each event, combining the Body of Christ or the NT Church with the OT Church-Israel, who except for the Messianic Jews, have not recognized the first appearance of Christ yet. These are two distinct groups that do not share in the same Gatherings, since all Resurrections are Gatherings, but all biblical Gatherings are not Resurrections.

The Feast of Trumpets is important for a number of reasons. First, it commemorates the end of the agricultural harvest and festival season. This appears to answer to the Feast of First Fruits, since Christ returns to gather the remainder of his harvest for which he sacrificed himself. The Day of Atonement follows on the tenth of the month, and the Booths of the Tabernacle Feast were built on the fifteenth of the month of Tishri. The blowing of the trumpets on first of the month heralds a solemn time of preparation for the Atonement sacrifice; this preparation period is known as “Ten Days of Repentance.” These trumpet blasts on Rosh Hashanah, and the Anniversary of Creation served as an alarm consisting of both the silver trumpets and the shofar, as a call to introspection and repentance. A key aspect of remembering God’s Creation is seen in Genesis.

Gen. 2:7 tells us that God breathed the breath of Life into Adam’s lungs and Adam became a living Soul. This breath is actually commemorated in the Shofar blast in the Hebrew tradition. Since Adam was the first man, he is representative of all humanity, and with his first breath encapsulated in the Shofar blast, we find the universal call for all mankind to repent and give honor and worship to the Almighty and His Perpetual feasts, marked by the Blood Moon Tetrads. The seven key feasts embodied in the Lord Jesus Christ depict how we are to approach the Almighty with a contrite and humble heart in the spirit of repentance, so that we can enjoy a complete redemption and unity. This is embodied in the 6th feast-Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement. It is a special day every year when Israel fasts without work. The theme of unity or being At-one with the Heavenly Father on the Day of Atonement, is based on the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, the universal Savior of All humanity, the first and last way that the Almighty has provided to be reconciled back into fellowship with Him.

The prophets also linked the blowing of trumpets to the future time of Judgment:

“Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming. It is close at hand” (Joel 2:1, Zeph. 1:14-16). In the New Testament, we find that the Gathering Together will be accompanied by the sound of a trumpet (1 Cor. 15:51-52, 1 Thess. 4:16-17), but this so-called Rapture event is only the first phase of the Second Coming of Christ FOR his Saints. The Second phase is when Jesus returns to exterminate the evil on Earth WITH his Saints, to set up his Millennial Kingdom; [Rev. 19]. Just as the shofar called Isreal to turn in repentance to the Lord and ready themselves for Atonement, so the “trump of God” calls the body of Christ to join the Heavenly Father in unity and warn the world of coming judgment.

On the Atonement feast the High Priest entered the Holiest of all, in the temple and sacrificed for the sins of Israel, as the Aaronic priests after the blood of bulls and goats, but Jesus has fulfilled this after the order of Melchizedek, as a complete sacrifice for us once and for all.

The seventh feast is the Feast of Tabernacles. Here Israel made temporary booths outdoors of tree branches, to dwell in for this week-long feast symbolizing their 40-year sojourn in the wilderness with Moses. All these feasts were perpetually ordered by God to be observed by all mankind.

Levi. 23:4 “These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.”

The word “convocation” in Hebrew is also translated as “rehearsal.” Christians should consider these feasts as “appointments” or rehearsals with the Almighty each year. The timing of Jesus’ return may coincide with one of these convocations, so we should ever be prepared.

The Biblical Astronomy of the SHEMITAH Cycle–

The Shemitah Cycle occurred every seven years when God required that the land lay free from planting as seen in Leviticus.

Leviticus 25:1-4, “The LORD said to Moses at Mount Sinai, ‘Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the LORD. For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of Sabbath rest, a Sabbath to the LORD.’” (NIV)

Israel went into captivity for seventy years during the time of the Prophet Daniel partially because they did not let the land rest. God’s people were materially blessed when they kept the Shemitah Cycle, and they were cursed when they disobeyed, to the extent of losing all their possessions in war and captivity. The 2015 Blood Moon Tetrad is the 1st linked with the completion of a Shemitah Cycle. As we have seen the septenary pattern in the anniversary of the Creation Week, so we find it also in the 7-year Shemitah Cycle. There was a completion of a Shemitah Cycle in both 2001 and 2008. On the last day of the Shemitah Cycle (the 29th of the Hebrew month Elul), for both those years, the Dow Jones Market crashed. On our secular calendar, these dates were September 17, 2001 and September 29, 2008. The Dow suffered the largest point drops in its history, and in the 2008 crash the Dow fell 777 points. This depicts God’s expectation that both Christians and the Israel should honor the Shemitah/Sabbath cycles. We are currently completing a Shemitah Cycle in 2015 where as the people, the land also must enjoy a Sabbath rest. The cycle ended Sept. 12, 2015 (29th of Elul) and in the following 24 hours a Partial Solar Eclipse fell on Rosh Hashanah, 9-13-2015.

BLOOD MOON TETRAD 2014-2015 Summary

Sept. 13th 2015 [Partial Solar Eclipse-Rosh Hashanah]
Sept. 17th 2015 [Sun clothing Virgo with the Moon at her feet]
Sept. 17th 2015 [Mercury-Spica in Virgo]
Sept. 23rd, 2015 [Hebrew Jubilee Year opens on the Day of Atonement]
Sept. 28th 2015 [Final Super Blood Moon, Feast of Trumpets]
October 8th, 2015 [Venus-Regulus in Leo]

Super Blood Moon over Jerusalem

As we close out the last Blood Moon Lunar Tetrad, capped off on Sept. 28th, 2015 with the First Super-Blood Moon on the Tabernacle Feast, this Blood Moon will be the closest to earth in its orbit and appear about 15% larger in full eclipse. We must note however some eye-popping heavenly signs taking place between the Partial Solar Eclipse on the Feast of Trumpets and the final Super Blood Moon on the Tabernacle Feast. On Sept. 17th the Sun appears in Virgo clothing the stellar woman symbolizing Israel with the Moon at her feet as we see in [Rev. 12]. For added emphasis Mercury-Gabriel is in conjunction also on the 17th, with Spica-Al Zimach. This star tells a special story about the Messiah Jesus Christ and his 4-fold ministry as King, Son of Man, Servant and Son of God, as related in the 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. With all that we have just seen regarding the ministry of Christ as it is embodied in the 7 feasts of Israel above, when we combine the narrative of the birth signs of Jesus Christ from [Rev. 12], that also relate the story of his victorious Second Coming as seen in the dual significance of the Biblical record in [Rev. 12], we find an emphasis placed on this theme by the Hand of the Almighty that cannot be ignored. This inter-weaving of the Blood Moon Tetrads with the birth and Return of Christ comes alive in the heavens before our eyes this month! We are living in the generation starting in 1948 that has witnessed the reforming of the nation of Israel (the fig tree) which will witness the time of the Lord’s return (Luke 21:29). As Christ said; “This generation shall not pass away until all these things take place.” (Matt. 24:32-34). The miraculous signs shown by God helping Israel to win the wars over their Arab-Muslim enemies, with vastly fewer troops and equipment, reminds us of Old Testament battles when God delivered His people. The final Super-Blood Moon of this Tetrad will be visible directly over Israel. When Jews are making their booths of palm branches to celebrate the Tabernacle feast, they will see the first Super Blood Moon on this day in the night sky above!

THE BIBLICAL ASTRONOMY OF THE JUBLIEE YEAR –

The Year of Jubilee begins on September 23, 2015, the Day of Atonement, and it ends on October 2, 2016. God told Israel to set aside yet another year of rest after seven Shemitah cycles; as a special Sabbath after every 49 years. It is the 50th cycle called the Jubilee. Just as there are 50 days between Passover and Pentecost, so there are 50 years between Hebrew Jubilees. Not only is this the time to allow the land rest, but debts are also forgiven and slaves are freed. (Leviticus 25: 33-49) This is symbolic of God freeing us from work on earth and the earth enjoying its Sabbath rest. The Jubilee has not been kept by Israel as a whole since the OT due to Israel being dispersed in the Gentile nations, but today both Israel and the Christian Church have renewed attention on the Jubilee Cycle, especially in light of the prior Blood Moon Tetrads where these signs of the end times from the Hand of God Almighty have become central in the public eye.

Romans 8:22-23, “We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.” (NIV)

SOLAR ECLIPSES 2014-2015 – A SIGN to the Gentiles

Key Solar eclipses are also happening within the framework of this Blood Moon Lunar Tetrad. A Total Solar Eclipse occurred on Nisan 1 opening the ecclesiastical New Year, March 20, 2015. And a Partial Solar Eclipse took place on the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), September 13, 2015. Recall that Solar signs relate to the Gentiles. Jesus has not fulfilled this feast as yet as he has the prior Spring feasts. The Feast of Trumpets is the next in godly order, is uniquely marked in 2015 with a Solar eclipse. The Trumpet Feasts remind Christians of “the last trump” (1 Cor. 15:52) or “the trumpet call of God” (1 Thess. 4:16), linked with the Gathering Together of the Body of Christ. This appears to be another way that these heavenly signs are being distinguished between Israel and the Gentile world. The Partial Solar Eclipse on the Feast of Trumpets is a sign warning the Church of the Body of Christians for their Gathering together unto Him, even as Israel is warned by the same signs according to their biblical culture. As we consider impact on the Gentiles of the Solar eclipses in this Blood Moon Lunar Tetrad: first on Nisan 1-Ecclesiastical New Year, March 20, 2015, (total) AND the other on the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) Partial Solar Eclipse, September 13, 2015, we find key inception dates on the Hebrew calendar marked for the Gentiles. We also find the Shemitah (Sabbatical) year from September 2014 to September 2015 being marked with two Blood Moon Lunar eclipses for the first time ever! (Leviticus 25:9) It seems that if the Almighty was trying to get the attention of the Gentile world with these heavenly signs, He is succeeding. If people are heeding these warning signs of the Almighty, and honoring Him with proper recognition as He commands us in His Word, we should be joyful that our time to meet Him is close at hand. Our judgement will be one of rewards for faithful service, which He recognizes for eternity. For those who do not heed these warnings, they will reap a different kind of judgement. We hold our destiny in our own hands.

Partial Solar Eclipse on Rosh Hashanah; 9-13-15

The Partial Solar Eclipse of 9-13-15 on the Feast of Trumpets

The upcoming Partial Solar Eclipse on Sept. 13th, Rosh Hashanah, divides the Hebrew Calendar in 2015 like one of a set of bookends, during the final Blood Moon Tetrad for the next 500+ years. This combined with the unprecedented Total Solar Eclipse that took place on March 20th, earlier this spring at the Equinox, provides 2 prominent heavenly signs, the first marking the beginning of the Hebrew month of Nisan, starting the ecclesiastical year in Israel, 2 weeks before the April 4th Passover Blood Moon, 2015.

Any total solar eclipse reaching the rarefied air of the North Pole is unique, and the track of this Total Solar Eclipse followed a path across the North Pole, placing it in eclipse totality for about 2 minutes. The absolute rarity of a total solar eclipse at the North Pole on the Spring Equinox is evident, since it occurs only about once every 100 centuries, but this Solar eclipse was the first time ever on Nisan 1 on the Hebrew Calendar. These are only some of the traits that made this a singular Total Solar Eclipse. To show the unique order and structure of the current Blood Moon Tetrad and its associated heavenly signs, we have reproduced it once again below.

April 15th, 2014 Passover Blood Moon
Partial Solar Eclipse April 29th, 2014
Oct. 8th, 2014 Blood Moon on Feast of Tabernacles
Partial Solar Eclipse October 23rd, 2014

March 20th, 2015 Total Solar Eclipse, Nisan 1
April 4th, 2015, Passover Blood Moon
Sept. 13th, 2015, Partial Solar Eclipse on the Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah
Sept. 23rd,2015, the Day of Atonement-Opening the 50-year Jubilee
Sept. 28th, 2015, Super-Blood Moon on the Feast of Tabernacles

The characteristics of the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015 have been notable from multiple viewpoints. There is also an obscure pattern that has gone unnoticed by many, relating to the time periods between eclipses. The absolute minimum gap between solar and lunar eclipses is 2 weeks, but as far as I can tell, this tight gap has only occurred with Blood Moon Tetrads on 2 prior occasions, since the Ascension of Christ, both in the modern era. The first was in 1950, as part of the Blood Moon Tetrad marking Israel’s rebirth as a nation, when an annular Solar Eclipse on March 18th, Nisan 1 was followed by a Passover Blood Moon 2 weeks later on April 2nd. The next Blood Moon Tetrad in 1967, that witnessed the re-claiming of Jerusalem by Israel for the first time in nearly 2000 years, saw a Sukkot Blood Moon on October 18th, followed 2 weeks later by a Total Solar Eclipse on Nov. 2nd. It is a very rare event, to see an entire eclipse Tetrad packed together like the current one, since no apparent indications tell us that it has happened before. It should also arrest our attention that both of these previous Blood Moon Tetrads, 19 years apart fulfilled critical Biblical End Time Prophecies related to the restoration of Israel.

The Coming of the Son of Man

Luke 21:25-33

²⁵“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; ²⁶men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. ²⁷Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. ²⁸Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

The Second Coming of Christ is the obvious sign not only of Israel’s restoration, but of the world and all mankind. Leading up to this and following the restoration of Jerusalem, will be the restoration of the daily sacrifices to take place in the coming prophesied 3rd Temple in Jerusalem. Indeed the Antichrist is revealed as the “strong delusion,” before the genuine Christ will be revealed in all his glory.

The Parable of the Fig Tree

²⁹Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. ³⁰When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. ³¹So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. ³²Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. ³³Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

Biblically, the Fig Tree is a symbol of Israel, as we will see in more detail with Jeremiah’s prophecy below. As we compare the Blood Moon Tetrads in 1949-50 and 1967-68, we have noted that they are 19 years apart, but each of these Blood Moon Tetrads represent a stage in the restoration of Israel, first as a nation, second with its capital city of Jerusalem.

Figure 1.

The following insightful details come to us from the good people @ [360 day calendar.com]

“Que. Why wasn’t Israel fully restored in 1948, including the temple mount?

Ans. In Ezekiel’s account of the fall of Jerusalem, God’s Spirit departs from the temple and leaves Jerusalem in specific stages (beginning 592 BC) and then comes back in stages 19 years later in 573 BC, (Ezek. 8, 40). In the same way, Israel is now being restored in stages — each stage on a timeframe predicted by the bible. The next stage in God’s plan for Jerusalem also happened exactly 19 years after Israel became a nation in 1948: The 1967, Six-Day War.

The 1967, Six-Day War

The next stage in Israel’s restoration was the six-day war waged exactly 19 years later, to the day on the 360 calendar, June 5-10, 1967. In this war, the temple mount was captured along with east Jerusalem. Thus, June 5th, 1967, was also Pentecost on the 360 calendar.

Que. But why 19 years later?

Ans. Because, from Ezekiel’s vision about the temple (573 BC) until when Israel became a nation are 1260 + 1260 years, that is 2520 years. (2520 days represents a seven-year period on the 360 calendar. {360 x 7 = 2520 days.}) Thus, 2520 years, plus 19 more years equals 2539. And so, from 573 BC to 1967 are 2539 years.

So, what’s important about 2539 years?

It happens that seven years on the regular Jewish calendar amounts to 2539 days in both 1948 and 1967. Thus, the seventh anniversary after Israel became a nation occurred exactly 2539 days later on the regular Jewish calendar, (i.e., 1948-1955). And the same is true of the seventh anniversary of the 1967 War, (i.e., 1967-1974). Hence, in God’s heavenly schematic, 2539 days correspond to the previous 2539 years back to the prophecy of Ezekiel in 573 BC! (The 1973 Yom Kippur war fits into this scheme too, but to stay focused on 1948 we will not digress.)

Thus, in stage one of Jerusalem’s restoration, seven years of years on the 360 calendar transpired from Ezekiel’s vision of the temple unto when Israel became a nation. Likewise, in the next stage of taking the remainder of Jerusalem, seven-years of years again transpired, except this time on the regular Jewish calendar.

And moreover, as said, on the 360 calendar, the day on both of these occasions was “Pentecost” that is, both in 1948 and 1967 –when West Jerusalem, and then East Jerusalem, fell into Israel’s hands!

One final note: On the regular Jewish calendar, the 1967 War began on the anniversary of when Jesus rose up into heaven {Iyar 16}, which was 40 days after His resurrection, Acts 1. However, as said earlier, on the 360 calendar Iyar 16 happened to be the 65th day of the year in 1967, which is Pentecost.

Here are the words that Jesus spoke, just before he ascended up to heaven on Iyar 16 — His last words were to ‘wait until Pentecost when the Spirit would be poured out’. And the last question he was answering at the time was, ‘When will the kingdom be restored to Israel?’

Thus, contained in the last words of Jesus about the restoration of Israel, (and Jerusalem in particular), were hidden two clues as to when it would happen, these two clues were the two anniversary dates of when Israel would begin to be restored in 1948 and 1967.

(Act 1:6-8) “They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority. But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (For further investigation, calculate the prophecy and timing of Daniel 2.)

Interestingly, seven days after Iyar 18,1967, when Jerusalem was restored, is Pentecost on the regular Jewish calendar.” [http://www.1260-1290-days-bible-prophecy.org] 1

This is an amazing illustration of the synchronicity of the Creator’s timekeeping, documented meticulously @ [360 calendar .com]. This links the modern Blood Moon Tetrads with the history of Israel’s restoration in our times, with Bible Prophecy like few other resources I’m aware of, and I’m thankful for the work that they have done and are doing. This of course, points to the third stage of Israel and Jerusalem’s restoration, which is the Temple itself. As God departed from the Temple and Jerusalem in stages, as prophesied in Ezekiel 10, so He returns in the stages we are witnessing in the modern Blood Moon Tetrads on these dates in 1949-50 and 1967-68. As a side note this also establishes that the Apostles received the gift Holy Spirit in the form of Speaking in Tongues, when they were in the Temple, not in their sleeping quarters in the “upper room.” The Temple was the center of spiritual activity for Israel as a nation, and is thus the only logical place for this prophecy of Christ to be fulfilled, as pictured below. Even more we are watching with great interest what transpires concerning the rebuilding of the Temple of Jerusalem, and the prophesied reinstatement of its Daily Sacrifices for Israel.

Figure 2.

The 12 Apostle’s in the Temple on the Day of Pentecost

As we observe the pattern of Blood Moon Lunar and Solar Eclipses in the 2014-2015 Tetrad, it becomes apparent that all the eclipses linked to this current Tetrad, take place very close to the minimal 2-week gap between eclipses. The April 15th, 2014 Passover Blood Moon occurred 2 weeks prior to the Partial Solar Eclipse on April 29th, 2014. Also the October 8th Blood Moon on the Tabernacle Feast took place 2 weeks before the Partial Solar Eclipse October 23rd, 2014. The Total Solar Eclipse; 3-20-15, Nisan 1, took place 15 days before the Passover Blood Moon on April 4th, 2015. And the Partial Solar Eclipse on September 13, 2015, at Rosh Hashanah takes place 15 days before the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse of September 28, 2015, at the Tabernacle Feast. These are the closest gaps witnessed between consecutive Solar and Lunar Eclipses. As we review the Solar and Lunar Eclipses on the Biblical Blood Moon Calendar, we can see the 1949-50 and 1967-68 Blood Moon Tetrads each with one of these minimal gaps separating them, leading up to the current Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015.

As we behold the current End times final countdown, the closer we get to zero hour, the tighter the end-time warnings are packed together on the Creator’s Celestial Timepiece. As we quickly approach the final Blood Moon of this Tetrad, we find numerous symmetries related to the pattern of Blood Moon Tetrads preceding it. First, on Sept. 23rd, 2015; [Elul 29] we have the opening of the Hebrew Jubilee Year on the Day of Atonement. This is year 5776 on the Hebrew Calendar [2015-2016], which is also the first year of a new Shemita Cycle, and the only Blood Moon Tetrad in the last 2000 years to coincide with a Shemita Cycle. As this cycle has been tied to the recent stock market crashes in 2001 and 2008 predicted in The Harbinger, and Shemita Books, it is noteworthy that at the writing of this post, the Dow took a 1000+ point drop, the biggest since 2008 in the world economy. The Opening of the 50-year Jubilee on the Day of Atonement, a week prior to the Super-Blood Moon of this final Tetrad also shows a link based on the Fibonacci number series. The solar and lunar cycles themselves follow the dictates of this number sequence! As these two great lights shed their three-fold light upon the Earth, their radiant orbital dance illuminates the Earth according the golden lines of the phi ratio.

With every 19 solar years plus two hours, the Sun and Moon return to meet each other at the same appointed time and place in the sky. The saros, however being an eclipse lunar cycle, consists of 19 eclipse years, which is only 18 solar years plus eleven days. An eclipse year consists of 346.62 solar days, which is equal to 11.738 full moons. When we divide the saros by 11.738, we get 1.618, (or phi), accurate to 4 digits!¹⁴ This shows us a comparison between two lunar cycles (eclipse years & full moons) which harmonize according to the phi ratio. Since the Sun intersects a lunar Node twice every 346.62-day eclipse year, we see how the solar and lunar cycles can also be linked by the phi ratio. Considering the Calendar of Israel, that unifies the luni-solar cycles according to phi, in concert with Israel’s sacred fifty-year cycle of Jubilees, the impact of this pattern in the Natural Order is evident, because there are 618 full Moons in any given 50-year Jubilee cycle! The perfect algorithmic spiral based on the phi ratio, and the recursive Fibonacci number Series illustrates the Creator’s Intelligent Design principles. His design of the Temporal order as seen in how the Hebrew Calendar, exhibits the correlation of the sacred and secular celestial cycles governing a myriad terrestrial and cosmic cycles, the Creator’s evident signature and His dominion of Light is revealed in the heavens, as the Source behind all kingdoms of earthly life. This also depicts the relation between the civil [lunar], and sacred [solar] years in the Calendar of Israel. These standards of the sacred and secular are also unified in the promised seed, Jesus Christ as the Priest-King of Israel and light of the world, presiding over the terrestrial domains and spiritual kingdoms of life.

This prophecy from Jeremiah relates back to the symbolism of figs from Luke 21 above, and the restoration of Israel;

Jer. 24:3-7 ³Then the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “Figs, the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad.”

⁴Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ⁵“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans. ⁶For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up. ⁷Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.

The Heavenly Father wants the hearts of His people devoted to Him! This is a ready vessel for the gift of holy spirit to indwell, for God to sanctify His people, and save us from uncleanness, as Ezekiel tells us below.

Ezek. 36:23-32

²³I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy through you before their eyes. ²⁴“‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. ²⁵I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. ²⁶I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. ²⁷And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. ²⁸Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. ²⁹I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you. ³⁰I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine.

As the Heavenly Father, the Author of Salvation is working the eternal purpose of His Redemption Plan through His Agent of Salvation, His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, we can see how His plan started with Israel, and opened up to all mankind in the Age of Grace, once Israel rejected Jesus the King of Kings. Now the Church of the Body of Christ awaits its redemption as the time of our Gathering draws very near. The dates below are added key heavenly signs coming over the next month, including the Final Super-Blood Moon.
