How Close are we to Tribulation?

   This, perhaps will be my biggest post I have ever done on blogger, for I am going to attempt to put in it every ounce of prophecy knowledge I know. It will be put into sections, so feel free to use this as a tool for witnessing, and bringing others to the faith.

   1. Blood Moon Tetrad (2014-2015)


What do lunar eclipses, and red moons have to do with the bible?
In the very beginning, in creation, we find that God did not only make the Sun, Moon, and Stars for light, but also for signs and seasons! (Genesis 1:14)
In the old testament, a blood moon was considered a warning to Israel. But, let me not bore you with ancient history, let us skip ahead to about the Fifteenth Century A.D.
tetrad is where four blood moons coincide with Jewish feasts (i.e. Passover, and Sukkot). These are rare occurrences, but each one in history proved to deal with Israel, and the Jews. 
In the years 1493, and 1494 the Jews were exiled out of Spain. Was it any coincidence that there just happened to be a blood moon tetrad those two years?

Blood Moons 1493-1494
April 2, 1493 - Passover
September 25, 1493 - Sukkot 
March 22, 1494 - Passover
September 15, 1494 - Sukkot

Or how about a later date, when Israel was reborn:

Blood Moons 1949 - 1950
April 13, 1949 - Passover
October 7, 1949 - Sukkot


April 2, 1950 - Passover


September 26, 1950 - Sukkot

I understand that these dates did not fall directly on the day of Israel's Independence
(May 14, 1948), however, that is not the purpose. It coincides with the event. It was
meant to be a sign for the Jews, and with our astronomers today, we can predict
when these things will happen. But I get ahead of myself.
The next tetrad coincides with the 6 day war in 1967:

Blood moons of 1967-1968

April 24 1967 - Passover


October 18, 1967 - Sukkoth


April 13, 1968 - Passover


October 6, 1968 - Sukkoth

But wait, there's more! But the next tetrad has to do with the future! 2014, and 2015 to be exact.

Blood Moons of 2014-2015

April 15, 2014


October 8, 2014


April 4, 2015


September 28, 2015

**Now, to be completely transparent about this, I must mention that, unlike the eclipses
 prior to the 2014 - 2015 tetrad, they were in fact able to be seen from Israel. The
ones in 2014 - 2015 will not be able to be seen from Israel, but that makes them no
less significant being that they fall on the same feast days. **

In 1948, the blood moons signified that Israel would get her independence.
In 1967, the blood moons signified that Israel would get Jerusalem, the capitol
back. 



Is it possible that in 2014 Israel will get back her temple?

2. The Sign in the Heavens (Rev. 12)

   To this important piece of information, I give credit to EternalRhythmFlow's youtube channel.
I'll post a link to his video, so you may watch it in its entirety:
 The GREAT Revelation 12 Signs in the Heavens - Revisited & Revealed!

But this is a summary: Revelation 12 states that there is a sign in the heavens of a woman
clothed with the sun, the moon at her feat, and a garland of twelve stars around her head.
EternalRhythmFlow believes he has found this prophecy using a telescope computer program.
He found it in the year 2017. And since it is a mid-tribulation event, if you subtract
3 1/2 years, you get April, 2014. The same month as the start of the first blood moon...

3. Torah - Year 6,000

According to the Torah, we enter into year 6,000 in... yep, you guessed it: April, 2014.
That's all I'll say about that.

4. E.U. 7 Year Plan

This is relatively new news to me. The gist of it is, that beginning January, 2014, according
to E.U. directives Israeli projects in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, east Jerusalem
 and the Golan Heights will no longer be given
European Union financial backing. Source: Jerusalem Post
It has been said that this will last for 7 years. Is it the official 7 year covenant spoken by
Daniel? I cannot say. What do you think? Coincidence? Or Prophecy?

5. Comet Ison

It has been labeled the "Comet of the Century" And is said to be the brightest object
in the sky since the Star of Bethlehem, signaling the coming of Messiah. Could
this comet be signaling the return of Messiah? 
Comet ISON will fly perilously close to
the sun on Thanksgiving Day. If it survives, it will make a gorgeous display in late November
 and December, coming closest to Earth on December 26.

6. John Kerry Peace Initiative

John Kerry has stated that there is a new 'basis' for Israeli - Palestinian peace talks.
Read the article here: The Two Way
The bible says that when they call for peace and security, then sudden destruction comes
upon them.

7. Parable of the Fig Tree
32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already
 become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 
33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! 
34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all
 these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will 
by no means pass away. Matthew 24: 32-35

This is the cornerstone on which the whole prophecy of Matthew 24 rests upon. 
Jesus used many illustrations in His ministry, so this did not come as a surprise to
 His disciples. We are instructed to learn from the fig tree. Israel has been called the fig tree, 
and in this prophecy, that is precisely what the fig tree is symbolic for. 
Jesus is saying that when you see Israel become a nation, the generation that sees that 
very thing happen, would not pass away until all the prophecy would be fulfilled. 

So let's do a little math, shall we? According to the Psalmist (Psalm 90:10) the years of man 
are seventy to eighty years. If May 14, 1948 was indeed the figurative start to God's 
prophetic time clock, where are we now? 
Let's take May 14, 1948 and add on to it seventy years. We arrive at May 12, 2017 (I am 
going by the Jewish calendar which consists of 360 days.) But, we have to subtract the 7 
years of Tribulation; then we get June 18, 2010. Yes, that day has past, but the Psalmist 
gave us a time frame of seventy to eighty years. Let's add eighty to the equation: You first 
reach March 21, 2027, and again, subtract the 7 years of Tribulation, and you get April 26, 2020.
What does this mean?
It means we still do not, and will not know the day nor the hour, but the time frame is right in 
front of us. If the prophecy has been interpreted right, the rapture would have to occur 
between now, and April 26, 2020. 
Needless to say, God does not follow man's time frame all the time, so it is
possible, that he could delay His coming, though, I hope He wouldn't.

8. Isaiah 17 - Syria, the Heap of Ruins (With points 9 & 10)

Read Isaiah 17. It's a prophecy against Damscus. Some will tell you that this
prophecy has already occurred, however, look at the wording. It says Damascus
would be removed from being a city... It's still a city, but not for long with the 
way the Syrian Civil war is looking. And I will tie in 9, and 10 to this one. And that
leads me to Isaiah 19. The prophecy against Egypt. Let's compare prophecy
to the news: 
-I will set Egyptians against Egyptians: 2011 revolution?
-I will destroy their Councel: Muhammad Mursi did that.
-God will give the Egyptians into the hands of a cruel master: Muhammad Mursi?
-The waters will fail from the sea: Ethiopia signed a treaty that said they could 
block of the Nile from going into Egypt
- 5 Cities will speak the language of Hebrew. I take this as Israel will capture those five cities. 
If this is in fact the prophecy, then that is next. And it ties into Psalm 83. The nations 
immediately around Israel will attack them. This will result in the taking of those 5 cities,
the destruction of Damascus, and then Russia will come down with a bigger coilition to 
destroy Israel according to Ezekiel 38 & 39. Can we tie that into the blood moons? 
Could that be what the blood moons are signifying? If so, we are close to the final 
seven years on earth.

This may sound foreign to you all, but with everything I've studdied, it's hard to keep my 
thoughts together. Research the points I've made. If they are all correct, it's possible
that the tribulation could begin in 2014. We are on the brink of the end, are you ready?
Do you know Jesus as your savior?
