Lunar and Solar Eclipses Signs relating to
Israel and the End Times
2
Lunar and solar eclipses which occur at the
Jewish Feasts are warning signs mentioned in the
BIBLE.LUNAR eclipses are signs for the
JEWSSOLAR eclipses are signs for GENTILES

• There is a pattern which corresponds to
  significant events in history.
• Pastor Mark Biltz researched the pattern of
  eclipses through the NASA website and found
• 4 lunar eclipses and 2 solar eclipses in the
• Sabbatical Year of 2014 and 2015.

Lunar Eclipses A Tetrad or 4 lunar eclipses
will occur atPassover, April 15, 2014The Feast
of Tabernacles, October 8, 2014Passover, April
4, 2015 andThe Feast of Tabernacles, September
28, 2015 This is most unusual. It is a rare
occurrence for four lunar cycles to happen on
successive Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles
(Sukkot) observances. It will not happen again
for hundreds of years.
4
Tetrads - sets of four lunar eclipses Did
occur in the twentieth century not once, but
twice! The first set occurred in 1949-1950, the
year after Israel became a state! The second
set happened in 1967-1968, the year Israel
liberated Jerusalem! Such a phenomenon is nigh
impossible, unless it was set up by Divine design.
5

• The last time a tetrad occurred on Passover and
  Sukkot was in 1493, the year after Columbus
  sailed towards the Americas and Spain expelled
  all Jews.
• Mark is convinced that God was telling the
  beleaguered Jews that He was fully aware of their
  circumstances!

6
What is God showing in through these eclipses?

• In the 1949 and 1967 lunar eclipses?
• As we look at the next seven years, we wonder,
• What is God telling Israel through the upcoming
  lunar eclipses?
• Is it possible that these are fulfilling biblical
  prophecies?

Solar and Lunar Eclipses in 2014/15

• September 29, 2008 is the beginning of a new
  Sabbatical cycle, which will conclude with
  another Sabbatical Year in 2014/15.

Mark noticed that they all appear on Jewish
Holy Days! What is God saying through this?
8
Daniels seventieth week (Daniel 924-27) will
also be a seven-year Sabbatical cycle.

• This refers to the 7 year Tribulation Period as
  laid out in the book of Revelation

9
Solar Eclipses on 1st Av

• 3 solar eclipses on the biblical date of Av 1
• -- 2008, 2009, and 2010.
• Our Gregorian calendar dates are
• Av 1 - August 1, 2008 - partial eclipse
• Av 1 - July 22, 2009 - partial eclipse
• Av 1 - July 11, 2010 - partial eclipse

10
The three weeks from Tammuz 17 to Av 9 are
called the dark time and between the straits.
It is the most sorrowful time of the year for
Jews.

• As the story goes,
• Moses caught the people worshiping the Golden
  Calf on Tammuz 17.

The day when the Jews lament the destruction of
their temples.
11
Fasts to FeastsThere will come a time when God
will reverse the fast days and turn them into
feast days.

• The word of the LORD of hosts The fasts of the
  fourth Tammuz 17, the fifth Av 9, seventh and
  tenth months will become joyful and glad
  occasions and happy festivals for Judah.
  Therefore love truth and peace (Zechariah
  819).

12
Solar Eclipses

• In addition to the four lunar eclipses in
  2014-15,
• Mark also found two solar eclipses. They will
  occur on
• Adar 29/Nisan 1, March 20, 2015Tishri 1 The
  Feast of Trumpets, September 13, 2015
• These are special days in the Jewish calendar.

Nisan 1 marks the beginning of the religious
festival cycle. Tishri 1 is the beginning of
the New Year, associated with Judgement Day.
13
On Nisan 1, the first anniversary of the Exodus -

• Moses raised up the tabernacle for the first time
  and the glory of God descended.
• Two weeks later, the Chosen People observed
  their first Pentecost since the Exodus.

14
On Tishri 1, Jews observe Rosh Hashanah, the
Feast of Trumpets.This day is highly prophetic,
because it is said to be the anniversary of the
Creation of Adam.

• It is Adams birthday.
• Even though it is a Jewish observance, it is
  prophetically significant as a day for Gentile
  nations.

15
The day of the LORD used so many times in the
Old Testament Refers to the time when God will
punish the Gentile nations for their
wickedness. The day of the LORD is great it is
dreadful. Who can endure it? (Joel
210-11). It is likely this refers to the
battles of the Tribulation Period, especially the
final Battle of Armageddon.
16
Bible Predictions about the Sun and Moon See
the day of the LORD is coming, - a cruel day with
wrath and fierce anger the rising sun will be
darkened and the moon will not give its light. I
will punish the world for its evil, the wicked
for their sins. I put an end to the arrogance of
the haughty and will humble the pride of the
ruthless. (Isaiah 139-11).
17
Then for the the moon will be confounded, the
sun ashamed LORD Almighty will reign in Mount
Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders
gloriously (Isaiah. 2423).
These are signs of mans condition. These
conditions will prevail at the time of the Lords
return to judge the wicked and establish His
kingdom.
18
The Birth-pangs

• Wars, rumours of war, famines,
  earthquakes,..(Matthew 246-8)
• Will precede these signs.
• We are already experiencing these in increasing
  frequency and magnitude.

19
Joel links the signs with the time of judgement
I will show wonders in the heavens and on the
earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.The
sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to
blood before the great and dreadful day of the
LORD (Joel 230,31).
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of
decision for the day of the LORD is near in the
valley of decision.The sun and the moon shall be
darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their
shining (Joel 314,15).
20

Jesus warned about these signs
Immediately after the distress of those days
the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not
give its light the stars will fall from the sky
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
(Matthew 2429)
21
On the day of Pentecost, Peter quoted Joels
prophecy
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the
moon into blood, before the great and notable day
of the Lord comeAnd it shall come to pass,
that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord
shall be saved (Acts 220,21).
22
A solar eclipse on Rosh Hashanah could precede
the Second Coming of Christ in power and great
glory.

• Second Coming will be heralded with signs in the
  heavens, in which the sun will be turned into
  darkness and the moon into blood.

23

• Are we entering the seventieth week of Daniels
  Prophecy?

24
Johns vision in Revelation
I watched as he opened the sixth seal,. There
was a great earthquake. The sun turned black
like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole
moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky
fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree
when shaken by a strong wind. (Revelation
612,13). The fourth angel sounded his trumpet,
and a third of the sun was struck, and third
of the moon, and the third of the stars, so that
a third of them turned dark. A third of the day
was without light, and also a third of the
night. (Revelation 812).
a third of the sun was struck may refer to a
partial eclipse, similar to the one that will
occur on Rosh Hashanah in the Jewish year 5775 --
September 13, 2015
25
The signs point to The Second Coming of Christ

• At that time the sign of the Son of Man will
  appear in the sky, and all the nations of the
  earth will mourn.
• They will see the Son of Man coming on the
  clouds of the sky, with power and great glory
  (Matthew 2429,30).
• Are we ready?
