This is one bloody moon
By Walid Shoebat
Much have been said about “Blood Moons” these days linking biblical verses to the fall of the stock market and a U.S. collapse with much date setting that never happened.
But perhaps analyzing the biblical verses is much simpler than most like to do where they love to use a calculator with stock market charts as if the stock market and the calculator supersedes the simplicity of the Bible. Always keep in mind that in the Bible the “blood moon” or any moon in prophecy is always tied to the “sun”. We find this all over:
“The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.” (Joel 2:31)
While perhaps some cataclysmic event or war or even locust invasions would blot the sun, there is also the spiritual message behind such verses. The moon has always been the symbol of Islam and it turning into red blood would simply mean that Muslim nations will turn to Jihad killing and warfare. After all, isn’t this what the rider of the red horse is all about? This rider is not a literal horse-rider but is a message to prepare for war and bloodshed. Same with the moon and the sun. The sun is symbolic of Christ’s church and the moon is symbolic of the devil and his people.
We see this sort of symbolism all over where the “seas roar” at “the coming of the Lord” and interpreters tend to agree this is the nations preparing for battle. The “sun” which is the source of the light of God is the church which before and during the first part of the tribulation will no longer transmit light (God’s truth). This is symbolic of a mass falling away where neither the moon (the Muslim world) witness such light emanating from the sun (the church), but instead will turn to warring with the church.
So crucial is this war between the sun (the church) and the moon (Islam) that one finds this theme in Joel 2:10, 2:31, 3:15, Mark 13:24, Acts 2:20, Matthew 24:29, Luke 21:25-28 and Revelation 9.
Some verses even include the stars falling which is logically the fallen angels:
“Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit.” (Revelation 9:1)
How could a “star” be a “him” unless this is a living entity like Lucifer? This leaves no question as to what are these stars. It is impossible for God to call a star a “him” unless it is a living entity.
So once we examine other verses, the evidence becomes as clear as the sun:
“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
The signs in the sun here is that it will be in turmoil and the moon will call out for blood and the moon nations (Muslims) will revolt “as the sea roars” and “people are faint from terrorism”, “apprehensive of what is coming on the world” for the fallen angels are tossed to the ground.
This “stars falling” is in fact the aspiration of the people of the moon:
“We have sent it down to thee in the Night of Destiny, what do you know of this ‘Night of Destiny?’ The Night of Destiny is better than a thousand months. In it, the angelic hosts descend along with the [holy] Spirit by command of their Lord [Allah], Peace shall it be until the rising of the Dawn (Morning Star)” (Qur’an 97:1-5).
So who is this “spirit” angel called “morning star” who is also the leader of this “descending angelic host”?
The religion of the moon (Islam) is already setting itself up to fulfill its role just as scripture predicted. It even becomes more clear when we read:
“The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the Lord binds up the bruises of his people and heals the wounds he inflicted.” (Isaiah 30:25-26)
This will be the turnaround when the sun (church nations) will become seven fold hotter than the moon (Muslim nations) as we have seen in the past when they finally defeated the Ottoman Empire.
We find this in Revelation 12: “A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet” where the Church (the sun) led by the woman defeats the moon.
How hard is this to figure out?
Lucifer himself is called in Isaiah 14 as Hilal which in the semitic language means crescent.
Revelation 16 speaks of the same issue:
“And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun, and it was given unto him [Christ] to afflict men with heat and fire” (Rev 16:8).
When was the “sun” a “him”? This is Christ and by extension His church which will afflict men with fire and heat by the righteous Christian nations who will use nuclear arrows. Is it any wonder that we find in Joel tongues and eyes melting in their sockets? Even the great supper of the lamb makes this clear:
“And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that did fly through the midst of heaven: Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God“.
This is an epic battle involving the angelic host flying in the midst of heaven supervising the great battle with Christian nations coming in glory for warfare against the people of the moon.
The eagle is God’s agent including His angelic host and His saintly armies led by seven shepherds:
“And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war with him that sat upon the horse, and with his army (Rev 19:19).
We also see this also in Isaiah:
“Thus saith the Lord: Behold he shall fly as an eagle, and shall stretch forth his wings to Moab.” (Isaiah 48:40)
We even find some of these eagle nations judging this “Moab” which is “Babylon”:
“For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.” (Jeremiah 50:9)
Set ye up a standard in the land: sound with the trumpet among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call together against her the kings of Ararat, Menni, and Ascenez: number Taphsar against her, bring the horse as the stinging locust.” (51:27)
The “north country” is Orthodox Russia who come with hailstone precession bombing where “none of their arrows [missiles, even nuclear missiles] shall return in vain,” not one. the “flying locusts” “sting” and the “battle horse” is now seen flying above in the sky as it says: “bring the horse as the stinging locust“.
“Minni, Ararat and Ashkenaz” are Armenia, Nagorono Karabakh and Georgia where Russia sets up its battle plans.
In biblical Old Testament times, Ararat is not a mountain, but is Urartu corresponding to the the biblical Kingdom of Ararat, centered on Lake Van in the Armenian Highlands which includes what we see heating up already in Christian Nagorno Karabakh with Azerbaijan.
See Uratu on the map. Uratu is Ararat an is usually a reference to Armenia
Noah’s Ark landed in Armenia. It was the symbol of the Cross that entering it saves from the grave. This Cross landed in Ararat blessing it for a grand destiny. Armenia was the first nation in history to make Christianity a state religion at the same time of Constantine in AD 301 under King Tiridates III who ruled from 238–314 AD.
Once we track the “sun” and the “moon” we will also find in Isaiah 13:10 where we read:
For the stars of heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light.
There will first be a time of refinement since here we see a massive falling-away where the “sun” will no longer transmit light (God’s truth) and neither will the moon (the Muslim world) will witness such light emanating from the sun (the church). Egypt, Turkey and the Middle East after the fall of the Ottomans emitted Christian culture and civilization. This is no more.
This is also reflected by Joel “The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.” (Joel 2:31)
This is very clear that “before” the coming of Christ the moon (Muslim nations) will call out for blood “turned into blood”. So crucial is this war between the sun and moon that it is in Joel 2:10, 2:31, 3:15, Mark 13:24, Acts 2:20, Matthew 24:29, Luke 21:25-28 and Revelation 6:12-13:
I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
Can anyone imagine if the “stars of heaven fell on earth” that its all over we’d all be dead? Is it possible John was speaking of asteroids? Sure, but what if he was also speaking of the fallen angels since an angel is symbolized by the stars (see Rev 9:1). The “sun” are the Christian nations which fell and the light dimmed where we morn the loss of the faith as dressed in sackcloth while we see the moon, the Muslim nations shed blood and are turning into warfare. Luke 21:25-28 in fact makes it abundantly clear, this is speaking of fallen nations vs. unholy nations:
“There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
As result of our falling away the seas roar and nations will be in anguish. It is obvious that God is speaking of turmoil as we are beginning to see. The Bible in fact is filled with this type of hyperbole:
“Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging…. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts,” (Psalms 46:2-3, 6)
John in the apocalypse tells us that “waters” are “people, nations, tribes and tongues”:
“And he says unto me, The waters which thou saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.” (Rev 17:5)
These nations roar for war. This is mystery Babylon and by extension its corporate beast.
Likewise in Luke 21, this would give us signs in the sun here is that the church will be in turmoil and the moon will call out for blood and the nations revolt as the sea roars and people are faint from terrorism “People will faint from terror” and are apprehensive of what is coming on the world for the fallen angels are tossed to the ground. This is the aspiration of the people of the moon (the Muslim nations) when the stars are shaken and are cast out of heaven. Such evil aspiration is even in the Qur’an:
“the angelic hosts descend [fall down to earth] along with the [holy] Spirit by command of their Lord [Allah], Peace shall it be until the rising of the Dawn (Morning Star)” (Qur’an 97:1-5).
Except to the Muslim, this “spirit” angel is holy when in fact it is Lucifer, the leader of this “descending angelic host.” How, and why does he “descend to earth,” and what is this “rising of this Morning Star” if he is not the same fallen star of Revelation 9:1? And why is Allah “their Lord,” proclaimed as the “Lord of these angels”?
So before you spend a few dollars on a book with fancy titles, just look up the scriptures in an inductive study and get the answers for yourself. It is really that easy.
