On 26 April, a super blood moon appeared in the night sky around the world (ref. 1). A super moon is a full moon that is nearest to the earth during its orbit. A blood moon is a full moon that is essentially red in colour.
This one was described in the press as a “pink moon”, after a pink North American flower which is said to bloom around this time. Describing it this way, I think, hides the fact that it was yet another blood moon, heralding the coming apocalypse.
In 2014 and 2015, four blood moons appeared on Jewish holy days. The first occurred on the first day of Passover 2014; the second on the first day of Sukkot 2014; the third on the first day of Passover 2015; the fourth on the first day of Sukkot 2015. These blood moons are signs of the impending end.
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Joel 2:30-32
The blood moon prophesied in Joel 2 will be visible in Jerusalem. It will occur after several of the seven trumpets have sounded and several of the seven vials have poured, for Zion at that time will be dark and gloomy because of fire and volcanic ash.
It will be around this time that God will pour out his spirit (ref. Joel 2:28-29, Zechariah 12:10) upon all of the remnant of Israel (ref. Joel 2:32), that is to say, upon all of actual Israel (ref. Romans 11:26).
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Joel 2:28-29
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced…
Zechariah 12:10
This will be the first time since the days of the Acts of the Apostles (ref. Acts 2) that the Holy Spirit will be upon Israel.
Right now, Israel is spiritually blinded at least in part (ref. Romans 11:25).
When a Jew prays Shema Yisrael, he is speaking the truth but not the whole truth.
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.
Deuteronomy 6:4
Christians, however, know that God is one and three at the same time (ref. 1 John 5:7), the Trinity.
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
1 John 5:7
The Trinity can be found throughout the Bible, across the New and Old Testaments (ref. John 1:1, John 1:14, Isaiah 9:6).
Indeed, the Trinity is even in the very first sentence of Genesis, but only when read in Hebrew! “Bereshit bara Elohim…” (ref. Genesis 1:1). “Bara”, which means created, is conjugated singular and masculine. Yet, “Elohim”, which means God, is plural. You see, from the Hebrew grammar of this sentence, God is singular and plural at the same time: one and three!
About Bible prophecy, right now, no rabbi or student of Judaism can grasp what is going on (ref. Isaiah 29:10-12).
For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
Isaiah 29:10-12
It may be that every one of the line of Judah, including they who profess to be Messianic, is unable to see.
What makes a Jew Jewish is more the bloodline of Judah than the religion of Judaism (ref. Revelation 12:13, Malachi 3:6, Joel 3:21).
During WWII, when Hitler sought to destroy the Jews, he did not separate the religious from the secular.
In the last days, when Satan persecutes Israel, he will go after the bloodline.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Revelation 12:13
In the end, when God protects Israel, he will save the bloodline.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Matthew 24:22
For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Malachi 3:6
Therefore, it may be that Isaiah 29 applies to every one of the line of Judah, even Jewish Messianic preachers. More often than not, I have found Jewish Messianic preachers wrong on doctrine and prophecy, because they are propagating material from Babylon, the city of confusion (ref. Isaiah 24:10).
Right now, Israel as a whole is spiritually blinded for a reason. Only when God completes his marvellous work will the Holy Spirit be poured upon all Jews.
Today, I read in the news that an American Christian from New Jersey has been discovered pretending to be a Haredi rabbi in Jerusalem in order to secretly convert Jews to his version of Christianity whatever that may be (ref. 2).
In Israel, it is frown upon to proselytize Christianity to Jews, and it is illegal to proselytize to young Jews.
It is like that because a young Jew who moves away from the customs of Judaism might marry someone who is not a Jew and thus corrupt the bloodline.
For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed…
Joel 3:21
Solomon, for instance, married hundreds of wives, many non-Jews, and his strange wives turned his heart to other gods (ref. 1 Kings 11:3-8).
Certainly, Israel is right to oppose the missionary work of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Mormons and the Seventh Day Adventists, all of which advocate extra-biblical material, newer testaments (ref. Galatians 1:8-9). These kinds are clearly servants of the enemy.
It is sin, a grievous transgression of the law, for a Jew, or Christian, to worship another god, knowingly or otherwise (ref. Exodus 20:3-5, Deuteronomy 17:2-5).
If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded… Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die. At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death…
Deuteronomy 17:2-6
In Deuteronomy 17:3, what does it mean to worship and serve “any of the host of heaven” if not to worship and serve demons?
Never forget, the great tribulation is a war that started in heaven after Satan and his angels rebelled against God (ref. Revelation 12:7-17). In any war, if you side with the enemy, you will be regarded as the enemy.
Now, about salvation.
To be “saved”, Jews must endure until the end, in other words, stay alive (ref. Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13, Isaiah 4:3, etc).
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Matthew 24:13
And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
Isaiah 4:3
By contrast, Christians who are killed will be resurrected, and Christians who survive will be “born again” (ref. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52).
For both Christians and Jews, an individual is saved the same way: by grace through faith (ref. Ephesians 2:8-9).
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9
Christians have received grace through the Bible, which was inspired by the Holy Spirit and which is the Word of God.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Jews have only part of the Bible, but will receive further grace in the last days after several of the trumpets sound and several of the vials pour.
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced…
Zechariah 12:10
When a person is “saved”, he or she will acknowledge that Jesus is Christ and God, for this is the truth.
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:11-12
Now to an important point that many Jewish Messianic preachers get wrong.
On the day of the LORD, which is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, Christians will be born again, made immortal, some to serve as kings and priests across the world (ref. Revelation 1:6) but Jews will remain as humans to populate the kingdom of God (ref. Joel 3:20).
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Matthew 22:30
But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
Joel 3:20
Within the kingdom of God, underneath Jesus Christ, the twelve apostles, made immortal, will help judge the twelve tribes (ref. Matthew 19:28). Of course, Paul will be among the twelve instead of Judas.
When the time comes for the new Jerusalem from heaven, then all will be the same. At that time, all who have not been struck from the book of life will have been born again, made immortal.
Now to another misunderstanding.
At some point during the Millennial Reign, the kingdom of God will win over the entire world, achieving a “commonwealth of Israel” as it were (ref. Ephesians 2:12).
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Isaiah 2:3
Thus, at some point, there will be a one world government and a one world religion.
If you are under the impression that such a thing will be realised by the Antichrist, then you have been deceived.
It is Jesus Christ who must reign until all enemies have been put under his feet (ref. 1 Corinthians 15:24-25).
Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1 Corinthians 15:24-25
For it is Jesus Christ who is God and Almighty (ref. Revelation 1:8, 22:13).
