The 2014 and 2015 Lunar tetrad
2014-2015 Lunar tetrad
The first three total eclipses in this lunar tetrad occurred on April 15, 2014; October 8, 2014 and April 4, 2015.
The last eclipse of the tetrad will occur on September 28, 2015.
2003
According to NASA, the current century – 2001 to 2100 – will have eight tetrads. The first tetrad of the 21st century took place in 2003 and 2004, and the second happens in 2014 and 2015.
The times of the 2003 – 2004 tetrad of four total lunar eclipses: 16 May 2003; 9 November 2003; 4 May 2004 and 28 October 2004.
Red
In recent years, the term ‘blood moon’ has become popular when referring to total lunar eclipses. When the earth eclipses a full moon, the direct sunlight is blocked, but the sun's rays still light up the moon. This light, which has travelled through the earth's atmosphere sometimes causes the totally eclipsed moon to look red.
Revelation
The words “blood moon” must most definitely be taken into serious consideration in relation to the book Revelation and the present time.
Revelation 6:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Because Revelation uses the words “sackcloth” and “blood” it indicates the time of mourning and sorrow (sackcloth) and war and conflict leading to death (blood).
The short season
Because I believe it was made known to me that we are near the end time and because according to my understanding that the “short season” began in 2003, I believe the times of the first two lunar tetrads of the 21st century are of the greatest significance.
War
The war in Iraq began in March 2003 and even though the war came to an end there has since that time been turmoil and conflict in the region of the Middle East and North Africa. Most importantly in relation to this is the fact that the nations of the globe are struggling to find peace. It seems as if this unrest in the Middle Eastern and North African regions, just cannot be limited and threaten to draw into it the nations East and West.
Earthquake
It should be noted that Revelation connects “great earthquake “ and the “moon became as blood”, as well as solar eclipse (sun became black) in Rev 6:12.
The largest earthquake of this century was the one off the coast of Northern Sumatra on 26 December 2004. This earthquake came after the 2003-2004 tetrad.
Since the great earthquake in Indonesia in 2004, as I have indicated on this website, there have been more great earthquakes in what I regard as the time of the “short season”.
Six great earthquakes since 2004
Of the 17 largest earthquakes since 1900, six occurred from December 2004 to April 2012. (Reported in the media in 2012)
The six earthquakes are 9.1 (off the coast of Northern Sumatra, Indonesia 2004); 8.6 (Northern Sumatra, Indonesia 2005); 8.8 (offshore Maule, Chile 2010); 8.5 (Southern Sumatra, Indonesia 2007); 9.1 (near the east coast of Honshu, Japan 2011) and 8.6 (off the west coast of Northern Sumatra 2012).
Since 2012 there were a further two earthquakes 8:3 (in the sea of Okhotsk - east of Japan’s northern island Sakhalin – 2013) and 8:2 (NW of Iquique, Chile 2014).
2014-2015 Tetrad
We are at the present time living in the time of the 2014-2015 tetrad. As mentioned the last lunar eclipse of this tetrad will occur on 28 September 2015.
The earthquakes that are frequent and larger than usual, the time of lunar tetrads and the turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa since 2003 seems to confirm to me that we are seeing the signs of the end time and are in the “short season”.
