On June 15, 2011, there will be a full lunar eclipse visible only in Israel, parts of Africa, and the Middle East, as well as parts of Asia and Australia; but VERY well seen in Israel, AND visible in the night sky for a longer period of time than normal. Arguably, this bit of info is quite significant, depending upon what you know about prophecy, eschatology, and current world events. Let’s check into it a bit further:
Background:
A full lunar eclipse is a bit rare. It’s called a blood moon because only the infra-red band of light gets around the earth and bounces off the moon to be seen by us, only in certain places on the globe depending on the angle. What’s even more rare is when 4 of these blood moons happen in a row.
(Additional background about moon signs here).
What’s even more rare is when all four of these consecutive blood moons occur on YHWH’s Feast Days, commonly and erroneously known as Jewish Festivals. (In the Bible, the Feasts are called “The Feasts of YHWH,” never “Jewish Feasts”).
So, four consecutive blood moons, all occurring on Feasts of YHWH. And that’s what is going to happen in 2014 and 2015. Meaning, Israel will see the world will witness full lunar eclipses on Passover 2014, Tabernacles 2014, Passover 2015, and Tabernacles 2015.
Ok, back up a little, and let’s get a few questions out of the way:
“Does YHWH use the moon for signs?”
Yes: Genesis 1:14, Luke 21:25.
“Are Feasts relevant to YHWH, and related to the moon?”
Yes: Leviticus 23.
“Are blood-red moons prophetic in Scripture?”
Yes: Joel 2:10,31; Acts 2:20; Rev. 6:12.
Update: I just received a photo of the June 15 eclipse so I’ll insert it below:

Additional notes and figures, from:
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jan2011/jimh18.htm
“The last Jewish Tetrad happens to be bracketed perfectly by two central lunar eclipses which naturally define both a seven year period according to Daniel 9 and a seventy year period according to Luke 21:32, and Psalms 90:10.
“And as a final note ALL of the eclipses that fall on high holidays, happen to be visible from Jerusalem.”
Time line (Luke 21:32, Psalms 90:10, Dan 9)
1948 + 70 years = 2018
1968 + 50 years = 2018
2011 + 7 years =2018
Time line (Daniel 9)
June 2011 + (2520 Days + 30 Days + 45 Days) = July 2018

More figures below, from:
http://pub48.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=4086901292&frmid=13&msgid=1052114&cmd=show
“June 15 2011(Blood moon) to July 23 2018 is 2595 days (1260 + 1335 days given to us in the Book of Daniel) and just 4 days later is July 27 2018 (Blood moon) a total of 2599 days.”
“My hand is opening an extraordinary door, leading to something glorious that I’ve kept specifically for this generation. The marketplace will be shaken and my Spirit shall cause wells to spring up in places least expected.
“On Tuesday, I require all of My warriors to shut their mouths.” Wow! A silent day? Impossible. But then He proceeded, “I want to hear NO COMPLAINING or negative words proceeding from their mouths on Tuesday specifically.”
Malachi 3:16:
“Then those who feared the Lord SPOKE TO ONE ANOTHER…..AND THE LORD LISTENED….AND HEARD THEM; SO A BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE WAS WRITTEN BEFORE HIM FOR THEM THAT FEARED THE LORD, AND THAT THOUGHT UPON HIS NAME.” The word “spoke” in Hebrew is Dabar which means to “commune, command, declare, pronounce and subdue.” The word “thought” is Chashab which means, “to value and weave.” YES!!!!

Ted,
Great research! You should send this to five Doves.

Thank you Teddy for this info. Very good stuff. Some I know some I did not but nice to see it all together. Janneke and I saw the blood moon here in Arabia also very clear. It went totally black after the first shadow fell. Shalom…. Tyler
Thanks Tyler, it's a pleasure. Glad you could see it too! Keep the fire burning for Yeshua. Teddy
Teddy, this is Ben from the Pitman studio Horizon you came to about three years ago, remember? Brother it was so good to see you on the Five Doves site. That site has been a major source of blessings for many years, good to see you there bro. Great report also, its all falling in place isn't it? Also great to see that you're a watcher, like we all should be these days. You know I have awesome prophetic truths thats gonna cement your understanding even further! Email me and I will get those sites out to you. Like, a brother by the name of J.R. Church who recently graduated from this life. Before he left, he wrote an article about Psalms 111-118 and how they seem to be talking about these last seven years, where when Yeshua said, he will not come again until he hears the Jews say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord" that Psalm is the only place in the word that that appears! Also, that he HAS become the chief capstone! Also, it appears that on the day of Atonement in 2015, the Great Jubilee will be declared! It seems that God has given those who are watching, modern day time markers, to let us know where we are on His Timeline! 1917, the Balfour Declaration, then one Julbilee later, The Six day war of 1967! Its all there in Leviticus 25! His whole timeline plan laid out for all! Fast forward 50 years, and we come to 2017, which is the year that the Kingdoms of this world become the Kingdom of our God! Did you know also, that Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible! …. unless those days be shortened, no flesh would be saved? Teddy, the very middle verse of the whole Bible, The Servent Lamp, is Psalm 118:8 which sez, it is better to trust in God than man, is that coinsidence? He is revealing truth to His Servants, Blessed is His Wonderful name. Teddy, you are a blessing my friend. I really love your music too, so Jewish, love it. Check out a song we just finished at Richie's new studio, its on You Tube > "Just Like It Says In The Bible" You gotta stop by when yer here again. Dear brother, take care my friend, until we all get to worship The Great King in Jerusalem. Shalom …….. PS, don't believe its coinsidence there are 7 years between these two blood moons! Soon and very soon, WE ARE going to see the King! > Also, saw on TV they are holding drills all over Israel, have you taken part in them? I will pray for you and your friends safety. In Yeshua, Shalom >>> Benny Caruso
Ben! Great to hear from you! About the alarm drills, I heard them yesterday, but didn't know what they were for! I guess I didn't get the memo. I read about it after tho. Oh well I guess I'm putting my trust in YHWH not in man, haha! Yes, we are in interesting times, for sure. Love to hear more. I'll jot you an email bro. Blessings in Yeshua.
Harold Camping was wrong about May 21, 2011 and the rapture but he might be right about October 21, 2011. Right around this time and early November, Earth will encounter the tail of the comet Elenin…and the tail of this dragon might just be slinging out poison…like cyanide. In 2010, comet Hartley's tail increased its cyanide output by five times as it neared the Sun and began to melt. I don't know if Elenin is made of cyanide like Hartley was but if it is and we're going through the tail in late October to early November, ELEnin might really turn out to be an Extinction Level Event. (nin[e]ELE[ven])
@ridchem: Possible. If "Elenin" really turns out to be a comet after all. There's alot of unknowns about it. About ELE: I don't put much weight in the word games associated with Elenin – we could also say that the "nin" in Elenin stands for the band "Nine Inch Nails" and that it's a reference to the nails used to kill the Messiah, the Lamb who was slain, coming the second time to rule the world. I haven't seen anyone propose that "hidden meaning" yet, wonder why? I'm looking alot at Matt. 24, Matt 25, and Rev. 12.
Unfortunately you are using the wrong Jewish calendar to figure this stuff out. The current calendar is man's creation from around 350 AD. It was not used during Biblical times. Anything not based on Biblical calendar is unusable, I'm afraid. Looks like I'll have to publish my own research to show what is actually accurate.
Cy, I'm not sure where you get that idea from. I use the Hebrew calendar counting the month from the conjunction; it lines up fine. It just so happens that the traditional (incorrect) calendar also works out for many of the eclipses as well, so it would also work as a sign for those using that calendar.
You have this comment.
So, four consecutive blood moons, all occurring on Feasts of YHWH. And that’s what is going to happen in 2014 and 2015. Meaning, Israel will see full lunar eclipses on Passover 2014, Tabernacles 2014, Passover 2015, and Tabernacles 2015.
I checked out this NASA site http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/lunar.html
They say Israel will see only see the last eclipse and only at moon set. Sept 28 2015
This web site says that the feast of tabernacles is October 9 2014 not the 8th which is the eclipse. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0002072.html
Yours in the name of Jesus, the Christ. Stefan
Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your research. Taking your second comment first, I need to mention that after discussing calendar issues with Andrew Gabriel Roth (author of Wheel of Stars), I have been persuaded that the Rosh Chodesh (start of the month) is counted from the lunar conjunction. One great benefit of that method is that Succot and Passover always begin during the Full Moon – which can be taken as a sign of credibility. Starting the 7th month at its lunar conjunction would actually put the start of Succot a day earlier, at Oct 8th 2014. Therefore, the date is ok.
http://w3c.ct.astro.it/calendario/almanacco/2014a…
Both Succot and Passover last about a week, so there's a bit of a time window there for the eclipse to appear.
As regarding your NASA page on worldwide eclipse visibility, hmmm. Thanks for pointing out that the eclipses of that tetrad would not be visible from Israel. It begs the question: were the other Jewish Tetrads visible from Israel? Is that necessary? I tend to think that it's enough of a "sign" that eclipses are visible somewhere on the globe during the Feasts. What do you think?
All the best, in the name of Y'shua the Messiah.
Also, looking further at the page you sent: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEdecade/LEdecade201…
It also seems that the July 27 2018 blood moon eclipse will be visible from Jerusalem. That ends the 7 year period from 2011 to 2018, with 2014-2015 in the middle. June 15 2011 was a blood moon visible from here in Samaria, and the Dec 10 2011 as I recall appeared quite red as well — and I saw that one from Samaria as well.
Well, it is interesting that only the last tetrad eclipse is visible from Israel, and at moonset. It is thought that on the day Jesus died, the moon ROSE over Israel in full total eclipse, meaning it rose as a blood moon; so having the last of the four SET as a blood eclipse would be the perfect bookend bracket to that.
Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel wrote about events regarding Israel based on the Jubilees. He also said that during the ninth Jubilee Jerusalem would be a "no-man's land." This is exactly what happened from 1917 to 1967, due to the fact that the holy land was placed under British Mandate in 1917 by the League of Nations and literally "belonged" to no nation.
1917 (Belfour Declaration)1917 +50= 1967
1967 (Jews take Jerusalem)1967+ 50= 2017
1947 (Israel declared a nation)1947+70= 2017
In Aug 2017 there is a total eclipse of the sun for N America, whatever that means for this nation.
I follow the sighting of the new moon (crescent) to observe the moedim. This year Pesach coincided with the fixed Hillel calendar. Not clear if this will happen again for the eclipses of 2014-15…
Shabbat shalom and shevua tov
Brilliant! Thank you very much. A very important study 🙂
the balfour century is a valid concept highlighting the importance of year 2017 for israel and the church. the 100 year judgement & redemption generation timespan was important to the hebrews in egypt and the warning of noah before the flood. balfour decreed a national homeland for the jews in palestine in 1917 and adding for the one hundred year generation gives 2017, as does adding the shortened generation time of 70 years to un res 181 in 1947
Truly, Y'shua will return soon and the signs in the heavens and the moon turning to blood are just some of the signs.
Perhaps the people of Israel coming to believe in Yeshua/Jesus as their Lord and Saviour/Messiah is the greatest sign.
Even so, come, Lord Yeshua
They will say, "BaRouch HaBa BaShem Adonai"
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Amen amen, we pray that all signs which are truly from Elohim will touch the hearts of the people for His desired effect. 🙂
The Jewish expulsion from Spain 1492 A.D. followed by 4 blood red moons 1493-1495 A.D.
May 14, 1948 Israel is reborn (Major War) followed by 4 blood red moons 1949-1950 A.D.
June 1967 (Major War) one red moon before war in April 1967 folllowed by 3 more red moons.
2013 A.D.——-(Major War?) followed by 4 blood red moons 2014-2015 A.D.
It seems like Syrian president Assad will fall this year or past the April 15, 2014 1st red moon but before the October 8, 2014 2nd red moon. Assad's fall from power would lead to the destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17:1) and the Sunni Arabs would then attack Israel and their Arab armies would be crushed as stated in Psalms 83 prophecy.
What will happen in 2013 since Four blood red moons will follow? OR will April 15,2014 pass with one red moon like what happened in the Six Day War followed by three red moons meaning the Sunni Arabs will go to war against Israel sometime after April 15,2014 and before October 8,2014?
(1)April 15,2014 Passover blood red moon (2)October 8,2014 Sukkot blood red moon (3)April 4,2015 Passover blood red moon (4)September 28,2015 Sukkot blood red moon.
Will 2013 A.D. be the year when Israel crushes the Sunni Arab terrorists living along all her borders in fulfillment of the Psalms 83 prophecy? Or will this prophecy fulfillment take place after April 2014 & before October 8,2014? (Major War either 2013 or 2014)
Syrian president Assad has told his generals should he die he wants his generals to launch their rockets upon Israel’s cities. Should the Syrian commanders follow Assad’s advice Damascus will be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1)
God used the sun to help Joshua destroy Israel’s ancient enemies. (Joshua 10:12-14) Today, God uses the four red moons to warn the Israelites their enemies plans of attack.
Thanks for the explanation.
I see the seven years going from the feast of Trumpets in 2011 to the feast of Trumpets in 2018 when the Lord returns at the last trump of the seventh trumpet judgment.(Revelation 11:15). The feast of Trumpets is the only feast they don't know the day of hour it will begin and this is because it is the only feast that begins on the first day of the month. The feast of tabernacles is 15 days later and if you back 1260 days from then you end up on April 4, 2015 which is more than likely when the abomination of desolation is set up.
U KNOW ITS COMEING/ THE LORD GOD OF THE APPLE OF GOD EYE .
Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords is indeed coming back very soon! I love Jesus! I have read each of your comments and wish to thank you for your insight. As the body of Christ, it is very important that we continue to build each other up as we continue to witness God's prophetic time clock unfold before us. Are each of you aware that President Obama signed a Peace & Safety Agreement with Israel on July 29, 2012? Is this the peace agreement that Daniel foretold? If so, it will be broken in the middle of the seven which is only a little over two years from now. The abomination of desolation that will then take place will require every human being on this earth to take a "mark" except for those whose names are written in the Book of Life because Jesus is their Savior. Is it possible that the United States will take the lead in this abomination that will be directly tied to commerce for you will no longer be able to buy or sell unless you have this "mark"? All the technology is in place for the implementation of this now. Through the Apostle John in Revelation Jesus has prepared us for this time. Careful reading of Revelation chapter 20 reveals that we will stand firm for Jesus even unto death and great will be our reward. We will come to life and reign with Jesus for a thousand years here! Jerusalem, Israel, will be our capital with Jesus as our King! Stay true to Jesus. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life!
What happened to pre-trib?
haha Chris Ward, that's a good one! I guess pre-trib is going the way of Replacement Theology… every since the reestablishment of the hebrew homeland in 1948…
Since the time of Yeshua, there have been 7, 4 blood moons with an eclipse in the middle. This will be the 8th but this will be different. Never before in HISTORY have the 4 blood moons fallen on Jubilee! Hallelujah!
I believe the Gentile Age has ended and the Messianic Age has begun. The wall that divided Jew and Gentile is coming down! Hallelujah! We are being prepared for our Bridegroom, Yeshua! One new humanity, a glorious Bride! Yes, 4 blood moons with an eclipse falling on the holidays between 2014-2015 along with Shmita and Jubilee is VERY SPECIAL INDEED! Never in history have 4 blood moons fallen on Jubilee! NEVER! To G-d be all glory!
Shalom HeavensDove: exciting indeed! It's possible that the Jubilee count is more like the year 2045 CE. Blessings!
CHAG SAMEACH, dear Ted, from the Canadian prairies! After googling Blood Moons today this weekend at request of a dear sister and neighbor I glogged onto your website and enjoyed your research and report on this subject. Did you get a glimpse of the Pesach blood moon over Eretz yesterday?
I've been working hard on my Living Stones manuscript this winter – so much so that I got neck and shoulder cramps from my computer and a numb thumb requiring me to move the 'mouse' to the other hand. As per the counsel of my 80 year old computer trainer a few years back, I now sit a limited time at the console! Chaval! Hope to see you soon on Skype!
It is indeed already laid out…because the first fires of the Abomination comes from the will of man…it will be rendered to appear like God's will as it is and was written.
blood moons are messages from god……in addition the changes…..I believe that we are all gonna slip into the 1st trib period
How many tribs are there? How about trying on this idea for size – perhaps there has been tribulation going on ever since the Rez? Not the same as the G. Trib, but still. John 16:33.
