THE blood moon is a rare red spot in the night sky that has intrigued stargazers for years.
But according to some conspiracy theorists, four in a row could mean disastrous times.
What is the blood moon prophecy?
The Blood Moon prophecy is a series of apocalyptic beliefs surrounding a tetrad, also known as a series of four consecutive lunar eclipses.
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, moon and Earth are in a straight line, casting a shadow on the moon in the sky.
During some of these eclipses, the moon briefly takes on a reddish hue due to a trick of the light, earning the eclipse the nickname “blood moon.”
Some conspiracy theorists believe that a series of four total lunar eclipses in a row is a sign of difficult times ahead.
The tetrad is a relatively rare event; the last took place in 2015, 2004 and 2003.
The Blood Moon prophecy was promoted by Christian preachers John Hagee and Mark Biltz, but has been rejected by experts.
Disasters around the world, including earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, occur so regularly that it is inevitable that a disaster will occur in the same year as a tetrad.
What are the end times theories?
The prophecy concerned the beginning of the end times, as described in the Bible in the book of Joel, Acts 2:20 and Revelation 6:12.
The idea of a ‘blood moon’ serving as an omen of the coming of the end times comes from the book of Joel, where it is written: ‘the sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes .”
This phrase is mentioned again by Peter at Pentecost, as recorded in Acts, although Peter says that the date of Pentecost, and not some future date, was the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy.
The blood moon also appears in the book of Revelation chapter 6, verses 11 through 13, where verse 12 says, “And I looked when he had opened the sixth seal, and, behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun turned black. like sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.”
In 2008, Mark Biltz began predicting that the second coming would occur Jesus would take place in the fall of 2015, and said he had discovered an astronomical pattern that predicted the next tetrad would coincide with the end times.
Hagee used the prediction to write Four Blood Moons, which became a bestseller.
Unlike Biltz, he did not proclaim that a specific end-time event would occur, but claimed that every previous tetrad of the past 500 years coincided with tragic events followed by triumph.
