The 3rd Blood Moon of the 4 Blood Moons of this current Tetrad will reach fullness at 5am Pacific time and 7am Central time. I am in the Texas area so I will get up at 5am to watch the beginning of this eclipse before it goes out of our view. For the remainder I will have to watch online.

This eclipse is so full of the number 4! (I got most of the information from BreakingIsraelNews.com which had a great article from Mark Biltz and Bob O’Dell, posted March 31st.)

• 4th day of Creation, Genesis 1:14, And God said, ‘Let there be lights (light holders)  in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons (moedim- fixed appointed times), and for days, and years.’  (Ps 104:19, He made the moon to mark the seasons)
• 4th month- April
• 4th day – April 4th (Passover – Nisan 14 on the Hebraic calender)
• Eclipse will have totality 4 minutes and 44 seconds
• 4th shortest of all eclipses in 4,000 years.
• 4 Cups of Passover from Exodus 6:6-8: (1) I shall take you out of Egypt (2) I shall rescue you from Egyptian slavery (3) I shall redeem you with My power (4) I shall bring you as My people
• 4th Commandment, “Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy”. This Passover and Blood Moon fall on the Sabbath Day.
• The 4th letter of the Hebrew Aleph Bet is Dalet and represents the #4. The pictograph of Dalet is a Door. During the first Passover, the Hebrew fathers applied the blood of the lamb to the doorposts of their house as instructed to Moses by God. The blood would protect the household from the death angel and the last plague, the death of the first born.
• Below are some meanings of the number 4 in Scripture (E.W.Bullinger, Numbers in Scripture)
  • Number of material completeness finish on the 4th day of Creation, world number, ‘city’ number
  • Regions of the earth- north, south, east, west
  • Divisions of the day- morning, noon, evening, midnight
  • Four Seasons- Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
  • Four lunar (moon) phases
  • Four great elements- earth, air, fire, water
  • Division- in Eden, the river parted into 4 streams
  • Four Gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke, John
