Sun to Sackcloth AND the Moon to Blood

Posted: December 9, 2013 in Eclipses, Feast of Trumpets
Tags: Blood Moon, Elul 29, Lunar Eclipse, Rosh Hashanah, Solar Eclipse

Joel 2:31, The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

Acts 2:20, The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

Revelation 6:12, I watched as the Lamb broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as dark as black cloth, and the moon became as red as blood.

So much is being said about the upcoming Blood Moons on Passover and Tabernacles in 2014 and 2015. A special significance in the Signs in the Heavens is the connection in 2015 to the 2 Solar Eclipses that will happen at the time of both New Years. According to NASA’s Solar Eclipse site, these will be the only Solar Eclipses for 2015.

The Spring New Year begins the counting of the months according to Exodus 12, the month of Nissan (Abib)
The Fall New Year begins the counting of the years, dating to the Creation of Adam, the month of Tishri

According to my studies, the Solar Eclipse and the Lunar Eclipse have never happened in the Feast/Holy Day pattern together as they will in 2015. Blood Moons on Passover and Tabernacles, and Sackcloth Sun on both New Years. I may be wrong, but I don’t see it in the other Blood Moon Tetrad cycles of 1492, 1948 and 1967.

A solar eclipse happens when the moon is totally dark and comes comes in between the Earth and the Sun, causing the light of the Sun to be blocked. Below is a photo of a solar eclipse. During a full Sun, the light of the day would turn dark.

In the Blood Moon Tetrad cycle of 1967 and 1968, a total solar eclipse took place on the Eve of the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) 9/22/1968. This was the last day of the year of 5728 on the Hebraic calendar. The next day the year changed to 5729. That day on the Hebraic calendar was Elul 29.

I have found some very interesting information about these solar eclipses that I will bring out in the next few days.

Comet ISON Update

Tags: 4 Comets, Comet Lovejoy, ISON

FOUR COMETS RISING IN THE EAST? Below is photos from Spaceweather.com.

Image credits: Sormano Astronomical Observatory (Nov. 7, 2013)

From left to right we see first Comet LINEAR X1, Comet ISON, Comet Encke and then the brightest of them all to the far right is Comet Lovejoy. These can been seen in the east before dawn. Bring your telescope or binoculars for best view of all of them. Comet Lovejoy should be able to be seen with a naked eye.

This is extremely rare to have 4 comets for our back yard viewing! Comets have been very quiet in our century and the first comet of this Century was Pan-Starrs, last February. That comet was in our viewing when Pope Benedict XVI resigned and meteorite exploded over Russia. From historical records, comets have been known as a bad omen and they often appear several years before a major war or natural disaster.

Comet ISON is not going to be as big as it was originally expected, but will still put on a good show. ISON is .12 – 1.2 miles across, compared to Hale-Bopp which was 19 miles across. At Thanksgiving, Comet ISON will be closest to our earth, 40 million miles away, traveling at 425,000 miles an hour.

Below is a great viewing guide from Astronomy.com for our November 24 pre-dawn viewing.

Biblical guide to what you are viewing. I put the Hebrew names in italics.

VIRGO, Bethulah, ‘the Virgin’, represents ‘the promised Seed of the woman’ (Is 7:14)
SPICA, Tsemech, ‘the Branch’. In the Bible Tsemech (H6780) is exclusively used for the Messiah.
LIBRA, Mozanaim, ‘the Scales’, representing the scales, weighing (Dan 5:27)
Planet MERCURY, Kockav, ‘the Messenger Star’
Planet SATURN, Shabbtai, rest, representing the “Lord of the Sabbath’
HYDRA, ‘the Serpent’, takes up 1/3 of the ecliptic circle (Rev 12:9, 20:2)

On this viewing you will see the constellation that represents the birth of Jesus (Virgo) and the constellation that reveals the end of the devil (Hydra). I John 3 8 tells us, “He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.“

October 18 Hunter’s Moon with Eclipse

Posted: October 18, 2013 in Eclipses, Moon, Signs In The Heavens
Tags: 1917 Balfour Declaration, Balfour Declaration, Eclipse, Hunters Moon

Last night the moon was so bright and beautiful, but tonight will be the big treat! It will be seen in many countries according to NASA’s chart below. The East Coast in the US will be able to view it at sundown around 8pm. This rare full moon will also bring a four foot plus tide to the East Coast.

This Moon Eclipse is a penumbral moon and will not be the beautiful blood color as the total lunar Eclipse of next Passover, but it will still be a sight to behold. It is also called a Hunter’s Moon because the hunters are preparing to hunt before the long winter season.

IN HISTORY- I always like to find out what happened in Jewish History when something happens in the heavenlies. 96 years ago today, in 1917, the British government gave final approval for the Balfour Declaration, calling for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in historic Israel. The declaration took the form of a letter from Arthur Balfour, British Foreign Secretary, to Lord Rothschild, who had once been a member of the British Parliament. In 1922, the United States Congress formally endorsed the Balfour Declaration. In the ensuing decades, the British would slowly whittle away at their commitment — first lopping off 80 percent of the land east of the Jordan River to create the Kingdom of Transjordan (now Jordan), and then restricting Jewish immigration and rights to purchase land to the west of the Jordan River. The volatility of the situation ultimately forced the British to withdraw from the region in 1948.

Asteroid 1998 QE2 Closest Pass May 31, 2013

Posted: May 31, 2013 in Asteroids, Signs In The Heavens
Tags: Asteroid 1998 QE2, Signs in the Heavens

Heads Up! Another asteroid passes earth tonight.

Tonight’s heavenly viewing is 1998 QE2 and is the size of nine Cruise ships and the size of the Golden Gate Bridge!! Now that’s big!

This asteroid will be pass approximately 3.6 million miles from earth tonight. According to NASA’s Near Earth Object Program will not be this close to earth again for 200 years.

This asteroid has its own moon accompanying it and is 2000 feet wide and spins itself once very 4 hours.

The last significant asteroid to pass earth was on February 15 of this year. 2012 DA14, as it is known, passed earth 17,200 miles away. Everyone was watching for the asteroid, but no one saw the meteorite that exploded 12 miles above Russia that same day!

Tonight when it passes will be Sivan 23, 5773 on the Hebrew Calendar. On this day in 355 BCE, Haman’s edict for destroying the Jewish people was overturned. The date is mentioned three times in the Book of Esther, read every year on Purim. On this day in 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed the New York State Regent’s Prayer in public schools, on the grounds that it violated the separation of Church and State. The New York State board of education had approved the following 22-word “nondenominational prayer” for recitation each morning in public schools: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our country.” The board of education believed that the prayer would help students develop good character and good citizenship. Although reciting the prayer was optional for each student, a group of parents objected, and the case went all the way to the Supreme Court. Organizations such as the American Jewish Congress supported the ban — due to centuries of religious persecution, Jews tend to oppose government involvement in religion. One of the most ominous reactions came from the Jesuit publication, America, which warned Jews that their involvement in these cases could incite anti-Semitism in American society. The majority Supreme Court opinion held that “classroom invocation of God’s blessings… is a religious activity.” The dissenting opinion pointed out that each day’s session of the Supreme Court starts with the invocation, “God save the United States and this Honorable Court,” that the Pledge of Allegiance contains the words “one Nation under God,” and that every dollar bill bears the words, “In God we Trust.” (www.aish.com)

To which I say, “In God I Trust!” As the sun goes down and the asteroid comes into view, Shabbat Shalom.

What A Show Tonight!!

Posted: May 28, 2013 in Planets, Signs In The Heavens
Tags: Conjunction, Planets

Tonight, before it became dark, before any other star appeared I saw the incredible Triple Conjunction planetary alignment of Jupiter, Venus and Mercury!!! They were so bright and brilliant that the appeared bright in a sky that was not yet dark! Amazing is the best word I can use.

On top of the planetary triangle was Mercury, “The Messenger”. On the bottom right side was Venus, representing the Bride of Christ. On the bottom left was Jupiter, representing the Messiah. The alignment was incredible, the Messenger was announcing the coming of the greatest Marriage Supper in His-story!!

Below is a photo taken last night in Arizona. You will find many photos online after tonight. It is a sight to behold.

But remember, listen with your heart. Ask the Holy Spirit to prepare you for what is ahead. Let’s all prepare for the Second Coming of Lord Jesus! The Spirit and the Bride say “Come, Come Quickly!”

Planet Trio Treat Sunday Night May 27 after Sundown

Posted: May 26, 2013 in Planets
Tags: Jupiter, Mercury, Venus

We are in for a treat tonight if the clouds cooperate! Jupiter and Venus are the two brightest planets and are joining together with Mercury for a rare gathering. Below is a size comparison of the planets.

These three planets are of the original seven planets of the Creation Menorah. The are called ‘inner planets’ and can be seen with the naked eye.

Triple conjunctions are relatively rare, according to NASA. The last one was in May 2011 and the next one will not occur until October 2015. (Reuters )

October 2015 will follow the last of the 4 back to back blood red moons on Passover and Tabernacles of 2014 and 2015. The last of the Tetrad is scheduled for September 28, 2015.

So what does this triple conjunction mean tonight?

Let’s look at the Hebrew meanings of each of the planets.

Jupiter– Zedek, means righteousness. Known as the King David Planet, also for the Messiah, represents Israel. The largest planet.
Venus– Nogah, means brightness or brilliance. Known as the Morning Star, represents the Bride of the Messiah. The brightest planet.
Mercury– Kochav, the Sun Star. Closest to the Sun

Now let’s look at where they are located.

To the right is Auriga, “The Shepherd”. Auriga is seated on the Milky Way, holding in his left shoulder a goat, who is clinging to his neck as she looks at the fierce bull (Taurus) below Auriga’s feet.
Above is Gemini, “The Twins”, representing the two-fold Messiah, ‘God and Man’, ‘Suffering and Glory’, ‘Humiliation as a man and Triumph as Redeemer King’.
To the left is a star in Orion called Betelgeuse, which means ‘the coming of the Branch’. It is a red supergiant star on the right shoulder of Orion and is the 9th brightest star in the night sky.

Now let’s look at the history of Sivan 18, which is tonight on the lunar calendar.

In the Hebrew year 1656 (2100 BC), Noah’s Ark came to rest on Mount Ararat, as recorded in Genesis 8:4. Though the torrential rains only lasted for 40 days and 40 nights, it would be several months before the waters subsided enough for Noah’s Ark to come to rest, and another several months before the dove returned with an olive branch in its beak — a sign that it was safe to exit the Ark. As symbolized by the rainbow, God promised never to flood the Earth again.

Basically, this will be an OOOOH, AAAAH night to view. Don’t just look with your senses tonight, listen with your heart. The heavens are STILL declaring the glory of the Lord (Ps 19)

5774 is a Pregnant Year – Pregnant With What?

Posted: May 18, 2013 in Eclipses, Feast of Trumpets, Holidays- Holy Days, Signs In The Heavens
Tags: blood moons, End times, Leap year, Tetrad

This next year that begins at sundown September 5, 2013 is Tishri 1, 5774. These are the years counted since the creation of Adam. This year will have 13 months, the last two months are Adar I and Adar II. The Feast of Purim is always the month before Nisan, so this next year Purim will be Adar II.

The Hebrew calendar has 7 leap years in 19 years. When they have a leap year they add an entire month. It is always added to be the month before Nisan, when the Biblical year begins (Passover). The leap months are added to keep sync with the Sun (solar) cycle.

The leap year on the Hebrew calendar is called a “pregnant year”. This past Pentecost I was updating my Feasts of the Lord manual I sell on our ministry’s resource table. I noticed something amazing and it has to do with the 4 back-to-back blood moons on Passover and Tabernacles in 2014 and 2015.

According to NASA’s Eclipse charts, there have only been 3 times that there have been back-to-back blood moons on Passover and Tabernacles (the only Feast Days that fall on a full moon). Each of these times have to do with the shedding on Jewish blood and were followed by Tetrad blood moons.

1492- Spanish Inquisition, Jews were kicked out of Spain. Those who did not leave or convert to Christianity were murdered.
1948- War of Independence. The day after Israel became a nation all the Arab neighbors went to war to destroy this reborn nation
1967 – Six Day War. For 6 days Israel defended themselves against Arab nations set to destroy them, and they gained control of Jerusalem for the first time in almost 2,000 years.
Next 2014 and 2015 will be the next Tetrad blood moons.

Amazing, they were all PREGNANT YEARS, Leap years on the Hebrew calendar!! Each of the prior cycles in the last century had to do with fulfillment of prophetic events. Is this a signs that 2014 (Leap Year) will be a fulfillment of prophetic events? Watch and pray!!!

Could the Next Blood Moon Tetrad Be a Sign of Promised Harvest?

Posted: May 3, 2013 in Eclipses, Feasts of the LORD, Signs In The Heavens
Tags: Blood Moon, End Time Harvest, Israel, Tetrad

Could the next two years be recorded in history as “Now it came to pass in the days……….”? This phrase was used 5 times in the Bible and always denotes impending doom, followed by great deliverance. Genesis 14:1; Ruth 1:1; Esther 1:1; Isaiah 7:1; Jeremiah 1:3.

According to NASA’s research of past Lunar Eclipses, there have only been 3 times in history that there have been back-to-back Lunar (moon) Eclipses on Feast Days in History.

Of the 7 Feasts of the Lord, only 2 could have a blood moon, Passover and Tabernacles. For a lunar eclipse the moon has to be full and would fall on the middle of the lunar month.
Each of the prior Tetrad (4) back-to-black Blood Moons were associated with the shedding of Jewish blood.
Each of the eclipses began in great distress for the Jews and ended with a blessing for the Church

Here are my findings of the past Tetrad back-to-back lunar eclipse cycles:

1493-1494 – Jews forced to leave Spain

Distress: King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain had conquered the known world for Christ, and the next thing they would do for Christianity was to convert all Jews to Christianity. They picked Av 9 on the Hebrew calendar, the most dreaded day on their calendar. Columbus records that as he was waiting for the tide, the last boatload of Jews were leaving Spain. All the Jews that remained were either murdered or forcefully converted to Christianity.
The next 2 Passover Feasts and Tabernacle Feasts had blood red moons
Blessing: God led Columbus to find a new land for the Jewish people where they could live in safety, America.

1949-1950 – War of Independence

Distress: May 14, 1948, Israel became the first nation ever to be reborn in a day! But their Arab neighbors were not happy about it and May 15 Israel was at war with 6 Arab nations.
The next 2 Passover Feasts and Tabernacle Feasts had blood red moons
Blessing: Following the war, the greatest healing movement in history began. Tents were filled with people being healed of every ailment known to mankind.

1967-1968 – Six Day War

Distress: Again, the Arab nations were determined to wipe Israel off the map. During the 6 days, the Holy City of Jerusalem came back into the hands of the Jews.
Passover 1967 had a Blood Red Moon and next Passover and Tabernacle Feasts had blood red moons
Blessing – Charismatic Move, the Holy Spirit moved into major Denominations and it was as if the fire of Pentecost had fallen again!

2014-2015 – Next Tetrad

Ecclesiastes 1:9 in the New Living Testament reads, “History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new.”

Could the next few years be a sign of war for the Jews? Could it be the Psalm 83 war or the Ezekiel 38 & 39 war? Watch and Pray.

If ‘history merely repeats itself’, there will be war for the Jews, followed by a move of God for the Body of Christ. Ephesians 2:15 tells us the Church is linked with the Jews “so as to create in Himself one new man from the two…..”

There are no more Tetrads on Feast Days projected in this Century. Watch and Pray! Look up, our Redemption is drawing nigh! The greatest promised Harvest of souls in history is on the horizon!

Is the Distress on the Sabbath Planet a Sign?

Posted: May 1, 2013 in Israel Study, Planets, Signs In The Heavens
Tags: Saturn, Signs in the Heavens

Saturn is one of the original 7 planets that make up the Heavenly Menorah of Creation. Planets are also known as ‘wandering stars’.

Historian Josephus records “God afforded them (Adam, Seth, Enoch) a longer time on account of thier virtue, and the good use they made of it in astronomical and geometric discoveries, which would not be afforded the time of foretelling [periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for the great year is completed in that interval.” (Antiqities 1.3.9) It has been taught through the ages that the 7 planets were in perfect alignment on the 4th day of Creation.

Genesis 1:14-16 tells us, “Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. [He made] the stars also.”

Stars come in two categories: (1) Fixed – Constellations (2) Wandering – Planets, Comets, Meteors

Saturn is the Star of this week! Saturn’s name in Hebrew is Shabbtai and means ‘rest’. All the planets have names that represent the Messiah, Saturn representing “Lord of the Sabbath”. Saturn is the most beautiful planet, beautiful colored with over 1000 rings made of dust and ice surrounding her beauty. NASA will never be able to land on this beautiful planet because it is made up of gas, a spaceship would go right through it.

This week Saturn has been in opposition, meaning that the Sun is on the other side of the earth so our view is awesome. The rings could be seen with the naked eye.

This week Saturn is showing us anything but rest! http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/04/30/monster-hurricane-on-saturn-nasa/

COULD SHABBTAI BE GIVING US A SIGN? Yes, I believe it is.

Add this to the first naked-eye comet of the Century PanStarrs and I believe the signs in the heavens are speaking for us to ‘look up’. Comets, throughout history, have become known as a bad omen. They often appear several years before a major war or natural disaster.
Comet ISON, which will be seen the best the first day of Hanukkah Nov 28, is expected to be one of the largest, if not the largest, in history.
These signs are coming before 2014-2015 back-to-back Blood Red Moons on Passover and Tabernacles!
2015 will also have Solar Eclipses on both of the New Years on the Hebrew Calendar (Nissan and Tishri)
Joel 2:31, Acts 2:20 and Rev 6:12 all record before the LORD returns the moon would turn to blood (lunar eclipse) AND the sun to sackcloth (solar eclipse). Not ‘or’, or ‘either’, but AND.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

NOTE: I apologize for not putting the beautiful photos of Saturn at rest and distress. My laptop will be fixed shortly and I can get back to work writing!! Blessings, Mary

Watch Jupiter

Posted: April 22, 2013 in Planets, Signs In The Heavens
Tags: Israel, Jupiter, Signs in the Heavens

For the past week I have had a prompting to watch Jupiter. I looked online to see if there was any new reports regarding this planet but found none.

Why should I watch Jupiter?

Because I am prompted by the Spirit.
Jupiter represents Israel.
I have learned when I am prompted to ‘watch Jupiter’ it is a prompting of Holy Spirit to pray for Israel

Facts about Jupiter:

The original Hebrew name for this planet is Tzedek, “the righteous one”.
It was one of the original 7 planets that formed a heavenly menorah on the 4th day of Creation
Jupiter is a Roman name, named after their god Jupiter, the ‘sky god’
Jupiter is the largest of the planets, also known as ‘wandering stars’
Jupiter is made up of gas
Represents King David
Represents kingship, coronation and birth of kings
According to Jewish tradition, when Jupiter is hit from heavenly bodies it is a sign of the end of the world.

Historically, Jupiter was and is a prophetic sign:

Three years before the birth of Moses, Jupiter and Saturn were in conjunction in the constellation Pisces. Josephus, Abarbanel, Eliazar and other historians affirm that Egyptian astronomers interpreted this sign as an indicator that a great man would be born among the Jews.
In 3 BC, Jupiter, the planet representing King David, was in conjunction with Regulus, the star of kingship, in the constellation of Leo the lion, considered to represent the tribe of Judah. This conjunction in Leo would be served as a sign of the birth of a leader.
September 11, 3 BC, (Tishri 1) the sun and moon were in such a position in the constellation Virgo. Biblical astronomers put the birth of Jesus on that date because of the signs in the heavens.
1994, Shoemaker Levy Comet 9 broke into 21 pieces and for 7 days began to bombard the surface of Jupiter. Each impact was stronger than a nuclear bomb, with each area affected larger than planet earth. This happened during Tisha B’ AV, the most dreaded day on the Hebrew calendar. This happened the same time that secret talks were going on in Oslo, Norway to exchange Israel’s land for peace. This became known as the ‘Oslo Accords’.
July 21, 2009 a giant scar-like blemish appeared in the clouds near Jupiter’s south polar regions. This was the 15th anniversary of the Shoemaker Comet 9 incident with Jupiter.
September 20, 2010 Planet Jupiter was the closest to the earth in 47 years. What is the significance? In 1963 President Kennedy intensely pressured Israel to give up their nuclear ‘defense’ program. When President Kennedy was shot Israel was the first suspected of the assassination plot.

Mark 13:33, “Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. (35) “Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming–in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning– (37) “And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”

As for me, I will be watching Jupiter and praying for Israel.

Shalom
