Red Blood Moon

Starting tonight we be experiencing a series of 4 of these. This is a phenomenon that happens only once every 500 years! That's just incredible. Not everyone gets to experience this in their life time. Our great great great grandparents never had a chance to see this. It's definitely a must see. 

Four blood moons will occur roughly about every 6 months.

NASA says there are two lunar eclipses each year. Some not even noticeable. This event of the red blood moon series is called a tetrad and the most unique aspect is that it will be visible to ALL of the United States. 

According to NASA there's been an increase of lunar eclipses in the 21st century. It's said that in the 20th century there was a 300 year period where no lunar eclipses occurred. 

Think about it like this. Sir Isaac Newton, Mozart, Queen Anne, George Washington, Nepoleon or Abrahan Lincoln never had the chance to see one. 

There are several "prophecies" that some attribute to this rare event:

Tonight blood moon is in time with Jewish holiday Passover. Passover commemorates the ancient Israelites escape from slavery in Egypt. 

In Joel 2:30-31 it says "and I will show wonders in the heavens...the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the comming of the great and awesome day of The Lord"

Acts 2:20(KJV) "the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of The Lord come"

The blood red moon has landed on the first day of Passover and Sukkot back to back 7 times since 1AD with the 8th being this time. 

NASA says the next tetrad will be in 2032. This is the increase NASA was talking about. It's said that the moon will be "at it's bloodiest" at 3:07am. 

Pagan or Wicca belief states that the blood red moon is the best time for divine growth. During which the cover between our atmosphere and the spirit world are it it's shrillest. In paganism a blood moon opens a gateway into the heavens as the earth, sun and moon align. For a brief moment in time we can commune with the spirt world and other realms. 

It seems every religion has a phrophecy that is associated with the red blood moon. Christians believe it's the comming of The Lord. Wiccans or pagans believe it's an opening to the heavens. 

Now weather or not the Blood Moon really had a religious meaning or not I'm not sure. I do know that it's a rare event that I don't want to miss. The world has beauty, religious or not.

Facts about the blood moon:

The red hue of tonight moon happens when the moon goes into the complete shade of the earths atmosphere. The hue comming from earths atmosphere. 

NASA claims the world isn't ending because of the blood moon.
