Lunar Eclipse Tetrad of 2032-33

Why doesn't Mark Blitz take an interest in this?  All 4 of these are Total.  And for that Tetrad 2 will be visible in the middle East (the second and third) not just the last one like the current Tetrad.

I still consider the Blood Moon Theory bunk altogether.

The Sun being Darkened and the Moon turning Red at the same time means it's a lot more then just a Lunar Eclipse.  Lunar Eclipses do not always make the Moon look Red.  And it's been Documented that Volcanic Eruptions can cause the Sun to Darken and Moon to turn Red.  Also passages that are NOT Blood Moons but the Sun and Moon both being Darkened (like the Olivite Discourse), refer to Solar Eclipses if anything Astronomical.

The October 2032 Lunar Eclipse will be more visible in Israel then any of the 2014-15 ones.

The Reason Bltiz doesn't care about this Tetrad is only the 33 Blood Moons fall in Nisan and Tishrei on the current Hebrew Calendar.  In 32 they're a month latter.  But first many people theorize that in certain years the current Jewish Calendar is a month off (The Samaritans often observe the major Holy Days a month latter).  Second however is the dates those Lunar Eclipses fall on are Biblically significant.

The April 2032 Blood Moon is on Second Passover.  A date I've argued elsewhere may have more Prophetic significance then people realize.

The October 2032 Lunar Eclipse is on the eve of The Feast of Jeroboam.

What is interesting to me is, while I don't engage in dogmatic date setting, I've become attracted to theorizing the 70th Week of Daniel may be from 2030-237 AD.  And I am against the usual absolutely all Date Setting is wrong attitude of Pre-Trib and Pre-Wrathers, they misuse what Jesus said without the Context of Revelation 1.

First, since I date the Crucifixion to 30 AD that would make the Gap between the 69th and 70th Weeks exactly 2000 years.  Fitting the two day thing from Hosea.

I also observed how possibly the events of 30-37 AD could be viewed as a type of the End Times 70th week.  (And as part of that I mentioned the Blood Moon Tetrad Blitz points to in 32-33 AD. but I wasn't of aware of this Tetrad back then).

Also a Total Solar Eclipse happens on the Feast of Trumpets in September 2033.  There are reasons considering the Seventh Trumpet and Revelation 12 I've come to conclude that it's highly probable The Rapture will likely correspond to a Total Solar Eclipse on the First of Tishrei.

That year is also a rare year that the Sunset of the Feast of Trumpets falls on the Fall Equinox.  That correlation is significant because I believe when God originally created everything the Lunar and Solar cycles were in-synch, and the Fall Equinox always fell on the 1st of Tishrei.  And Nisan 1 on the Spring Equinox.

Also a little before that Eclipse, Venus has a near conjunction with Regulus, and Mercury with Spica.  Those may not mean anything, but I make note of them.

So I'm not saying any of this will matter.  But it's interesting to look at, as it fits my Mid-Seventieth Week view.

Update: I'm now leaning towards a different theory.

Further Update: I would not use the Karaites not Samaritans to suggest the Rabbinic calendar is sometimes wrong.  And i gave this model new thought here.

October 2015 Update:  I've made some new observation useful to this theory here.

Bema Judgment and White Throne Judgment both happen on Yom Kippur

Over a Thousand years apart from each other, but both on Yom Kippur I think.

The Great White Throne Judgment, where God The Father is The Judge will be on the Yom Kippur proceeding The Tabernacles Festival when New Jerusalem descends.

The Bema Judgment where God The Son is The Judge will be in the Middle of Daniel's 70th Week.  The Same Yom Kippur I link to The Rapture/Parusia.

It makes sense that Yom Kippur would be the Day of Judgment.

The Feast of Tabernacles is fulfilled after The Millennium

Conventional wisdom is that the Spring Feasts are the First Advent and the Fall Feasts the Second Advent.  I agree with that basically, but there is a major difference in how the two sets of feasts relate to each other.

The Springs Feasts are intricately linked to each other.  Passover is the 14th or 15th depending on how you look at it (The Passover Lamb is killed on the 14th and eaten on the 15th) Unleavened Bread is the 15th-21st.  First Fruits is the first Sunday morning after Passover, during Unleavened Bread.  Pentecost is counted from First Fruits, the counting of the Omer.  Their fulfillment had to be all the same year.

The Fall Feasts have less of a direct connection.  Even the idea of connecting Trumpets to Yom Kippur by the "10 Days of Awe" is only an extra-Biblical tradition.  But one I think is not as bad as other extra-Biblical ideas since it makes sense in light of how I view The Rapture.

I believe the 1st and 10th of Tishrei feast days will be fulfilled in the Middle of The 70th Week of Daniel.  Tabernacles is more directly related to The Temple/Tabernacle.  If Chris White is correct that The Antichrist will attempt to present his "Abomination of Desolation" as actually the fulfillment of Messianic Prophecy.  I could see him doing it during Tabernacles.  Remember Antiochus Epiphanes set up his Statue ten days before he formally consecrated it.

Chanukah is often thought of as a second Tabernacles.  Being also an 8 days Feast.  And because Tabernacles  is when the original Temple of Solomon was dedicated.  The Second Temple was originally dedicated early in Adar, that event never became a regular celebration.

I disagree with the usual assumption that Ezekiel's Temple and Jerusalem from chapters 40-48 is The Millennium, I believe it's the Eternal kingdom/New Jerusalem of Revelation 21.

I think the coming Third Temple will be more like the Second, and the Finale Temple more like Solomon's.  Making things come full circle.

1 Kings 8 and 2 Chronicles 7 show how Tabernacles is linked to the Dedication of Solomon's Temple.  In Kings we're told it was expanded into a 14 day Festival.  Jewish Tradition says the extra 7 days came before not after the usual 7 days.  2 Chronicles would seem to agree with that since on the 23rd of The Month the festivities were over.  Thing is, that would mean it went through Yom Kippur.  It also means it started on the 8th of Tishrei.

I've seen people criticize that view in favor in making the extra 7 days after by saying 'Yom Kippr is a fast day, can't have a feast on a fast day".  What Levitcus 23 says is to afflict our souls, that terminology is linked to fasts, but ti's not required.  God didn't ordain any Fast days, Fasts are good but good does not approve of ordaining any annual depressing holidays.  The four annual fast days connected to the fall of Jerusalem in 588 BC are actually condemned by God in Zachariah.  Sacrifices are a big deal on Yom Kippur, and Sacrifices are also eaten.

J.R. Church once did a series of episodes of Prophecy in The news on John 7,8 and 9 suggesting that the 7 Days of Tabernacles equated to Seven Millenniums of human History.  With the 8th representing the New Creation/Eternity.  I disagree with the Seven Millenniums view, but the affiliation of the 8th days with a new beginning is still logical.

I've already said that I think the Seven days of Creation were the Seven days of Tabernacles, not the beginning of Tishrei as usually assumed.  And that the 8th day was the day of The Fall.  What I've suggested here is largely why I came to that conclusion.

I believe it will be during the Seven Day Festival of Tabernacles that the Messianic Temple/Tabernacle is dedicated.  And then on the 8th day of the Feast that Time (a s we know it at least) will end and we will enter Eternity.

The theory that the NWO will Stage a Fake Rapture?

There is some talk in Conspiracy theorist circles that the Elite could use top secret Technology, like Neutron Bomb technology, to make a fake Rapture happen, basically kill a bunch a Christian in a way that makes it look like they all disappeared.    The technology certainly does exist, there are weapons being developed that could vaporize flesh but leaves the cloths behind.

I'm not predicting this will happen.  I see no Bible Prophecy that says to expect it to happen.  And even though the NWO could do it I don't see why it would suite them to do so, seemingly proving a popular conservative Christian doctrine right in no way fits their agenda.  So I currently consider it unlikely.

But what I will say is IF something happens that looks like the Pre-Trib Secret Rapture idea, (just a bunch of people disappearing,) that will be a fake Rapture.  The Biblical evidence against that being what The Rapture will look like would not be refuted by something happening that does look like that.

I'll certainly know it wasn't the real Rapture if it happens and I'm not apart of it.

Also if the Temple in Jerusalem isn't standing yet, or it has been for less then three and a half years.

Mostly if the Abomination of Desolation hasn't happened yet, or at least The Antichrist's public false resurrection.  II Thessalonians 2 makes clear that can't be The Rapture.

But again I'm not saying to expect this to happen.

Being Pre-Trib is frankly the least of Left Behind's problems

With the new Left Behind movie about to come out a lot of bloggers and websites are complaining.  Within the Church the negative comments about it mostly come from people who are irritated with Pre-Tribulationisim.  But as someone who's also not Pre-Trib, I don't even find that it's most annoying trait.  Same with other Pre-Trib based End Times fiction.  I haven't read all of it of course, but still I get the gist of what it's world is like.

None of these works of fiction about the Pre-Trib Rapture actually acknowledge the whole dispensational point of the uniqueness of The Church that lies behind it, and any view but Post-Trib or Preterisim/Amillennialisim.  There is no exploration of the fact that these post-Rapture believers lack certain promises that we of The Church have.  The problem is that these writers are probably all Cessationists, so to them The Church lost most of it's unique promises in the 1st Century.  I believe during the era just before The Rapture the 144,000 will be surpassing what the earliest Christians did just after Pentecost.

The simple fact that it's always obvious who The Antichrist is right from the start of The 70th Week is a problem to me.  Paul makes a point that the Abomination of Desolation incident is what identifies him.  And I believe there is good reason to expect there to be Decoy Antichrists during the first half of the 70th Week, among them The Terrible of The Nations.  So even from a writing perspective, why not have a few possible Antichrist and let readers argue over who it'll be.

They also tend to reflect how American Evangelicals have married their Faith to their Patriotism and political Conservatism way to much.  Of course The Antichrist is always the ultimate European Liberal (the End Times movie fad ended before the Mahdi thing really took off).

I'll be posting in the future on why I think End Times fiction that makes the President of the United States a hero who opposes The Antichrist and then gets killed by him is in fact potentially dangerous.

Along with that having an Antichrist who's Russian(ish), having video conferences with East Asian leaders as he destroys the U.S.  It's like they don't know the Cold War ended, and was only a fraud propped up by the Military Industrial Complex to begin with.

Also like a lot of Christian fiction it seems to come off unintentionally Calvinist.  Simply because the people who will or won't be saved are predestined by the writer.

There is a limit to how sinful they allow the characters who will latter become saved and members of the "Tribulation Force" to get.  The Airplane pilot stops short of actually committing adultery with the sexy stewardess.  I'd like to see a character analogous to Paul, who was a full blown enemy of The Gospel before being saved.

And then there is how they treat Homosexuality.  That they depict it as a Sin is sadly of course expected, but no Gay character ever becomes saved either, they're just there to be a problem for our protagonists until they suffer a horrible "deserved" death.  As if the writers agree with the insane position of some Baptists that being engaged in Homosexual activity is evidence of being no longer eligible for Salvation.

Both Christian writers and Secular Hollywood writers have trouble understanding the people who disagree with them.  But in all honesty it seems to me like the Left tends to make a better effort to at least try.

Is there a connection between Yom Kippur and Cain&Able?

Read Genesis 4 and Leviticus 16 back to back and judge for yourselves.

Mainly what I'm thinking of is a possible correlation between the two Brothers and the two Goats.

Able is the one who is offered, who's Blood is shed.  Indeed this story is the first occurrence of the word Blood in The Bible.  And that detial is largely why Abel is considered a type of Christ.

And Cain is the Scapegoat, who is protected from being killed and sent to wonder in the Wilderness of Nod.

I've thought of this for awhile, lately I've been contemplating in general the idea of the Leviticus 23 feasts being in commemoration of events in Genesis.  Thinking maybe Passover being the first feast codified was the last one which event it commemorates took place.  And also that maybe Unleavened Bread or Passover was was the day Abraham offered Issac.  Or that Unleavened Bread could have it's origin in Melchizedek and his bread and Wine meal in Genesis 14.

I've come to speculate that the 7 days of Creation might be the 7 days of Tabernacles, not the beginning of Tishri.  And the 8th day as the Fall.  I've already mentioned how Noah's Ark coming to rest on the 17th of Nisan has a possible correlation to First Fruits, which was fulfilled in The Resurrection of Jesus.  And the first of Tishrei comes up in the Flood narrative too.

This is something I'll continue investigating.  I will be posting studies in the coming days/weeks on both Tabernacles and the Feast of Jeroboam.

Do White Robes prove being Resurrected?

One of the traits Pre-Trib and Pre-Wrath have in common is thinking that the Multitude in Revelation 7:9-16 are already Resurrected (and thus Raptured) because they have White Robes.

Where do they get this doctrine from?  Jesus is never described wearing a Robe in his Resurrected state in The Gospels.  Nor are Robes mentioned in any of Paul's key discussions of The Resurrection.  Revelation 1:13 is a problematically translated verse, it does not use any word for robe, it only used a verb, it should read "the Son of man, arrayed to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle."

We won't actually be wearing ANYTHING in the Resurrection, The Resurrection is the restoration to how Adam and Eve were before The Fall.  Nakedness is bad only in the fallen state.  We will be sort of clothed in light is my personal theory.

Perhaps they think the Robes are symbolic of the Resurrected body.  Well both also tend to agree that it's the same multitude seen in in the Fifth Seal, but Pre-Wrath at least sees them as not Resurrected yet at that point.  They are already given the Robes there, but they need to wash them first.

Our Resurrected bodies are the same bodies we have now, they're simply perfected.  If the Robes are symbolic of anything it' the probably the Spirit or Soul.

Leviticus 16:23 says of the garment The High Priest wears when he enters the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur.  "And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:".  Of course he wouldn't wear this ceremonially Garment for the rest of his life, but that the text is specific about what is done with it shows it has meaning.

The High Priest also had to do special cleansing before he could put that Robe on.  I think both the 1st and 10th of Tishrei Holy Days have symbolic meaning relevant to The Second Coming.  Verse 24 tells us he then puts back on his regular garments.

Since there is far more evidence the Resurrection of The Church happens latter in Revelation, it's the 7th Trumpet Blast that tells us the time of the dead and the Bema Judgment have arrived, and Revelation 14 describes the 144,000 is clear unmistakable Resurrection imagery (First fruits, redeemed of The Earth).  I must conclude that the Robes seen in Revelation Chapter 7 are temporary garments worn during the time those martyrs are physically deceased.

Another issue with viewing this multitude as the Post-Rapture Church is that it's ONLY the Martyrs, it's clearly the same multitude as the 5th Seal, they've defined as all Christian Martyrs, but only the Martyrs.  So by definition is can't includes any believe alive at The Rapture.
