- The Muslim Brotherhood Vision Statement
“Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way.
Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope. Allahu akbar!
To put this in perspective, the current President of the United States, as well as the former Secretary of State (you know who that is – she is preparing to run for President), has Muslim Brotherhood operatives as their top advisors. They LOVE the Muslim Brotherhood and enjoy their regular visits to the White House. No wonder God’s judgment on America will soon turn into His wrath as our American leaders call evil good and good evil. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is sovereign. While He will soon pour out His wrath on the unrighteous, He will also pour out His Spirit on the righteous. The greatest spiritual explosion the world has ever seen is at hand. ARE YOU READY?
- Four Blood Moons
There is a lot of interest in the four blood moons appearing in 2014 and 2015.
What is a blood moon? A blood moon is a lunar eclipse which happens when the shadow of the earth falls on the moon. The shadow of the earth falls on the moon when the earth is between the sun and the moon. A partial lunar eclipse happens when only a part of the earth’s shadow falls on the moon. A full lunar eclipse is when the earth’s shadow completely covers the moon. Because a total lunar eclipse often, but not always, appears red, it is referred to as a “blood moon.”
Because of the relationship between the moon’s orbit around the earth and the earth’s orbit around the sun, a total lunar eclipse only happens when there is a full moon. According to astronomers, unless the Lord intervenes, there will be 85 total lunar eclipses in the 21th century. For a more technical explanation of this subject, see the following web site of Dr. Danny R. Faulkner:

Since the Feasts of Passover and Tabernacles (Succot) happen when there is a full moon, it is no surprise that a total lunar eclipse often occurs during these Feast days. In 2014, a total lunar eclipse is scheduled at Passover on April 15 and at Tabernacles on October 8. In 2015, a total lunar eclipse is scheduled at Passover on April 4 and at Tabernacles on September 13. What makes this even more intriguing is that a total solar eclipse is scheduled to happen on March 20, 2015 and a partial solar eclipse on September 13, 2015. When four consecutive lunar eclipses are all total eclipses, the group is known as a tetrad.
It has been pointed out that there were blood moons when Israel became a nation in 1948 and when Israel liberated Jerusalem in 1967. Perhaps it is worth noting that the blood moons appeared a year after these momentous events in 1949 and 1968.
As believers, how should we view this interesting phenomenon? Is this a sign from God or simply a normal, but unusual, astronomical happening?
The Bible is clear that God does control the heavenly bodies and does use them as signs and wonders for us to observe and discern. For example, the star of Bethlehem.
Genesis 1:14 tells us that God put the lights in the heaven for signs and seasons (moedim – festivals). The moon tells us when to celebrate the Feasts of the Lord.
In Joel 2:30-31, we learn that at the end of the age just before the coming of the Lord, there will be cataclysmic changes in the sky when the sun turns into darkness and the moon into blood.
In Acts 2:19-21, Peter quoted the Joel prophecy and again placed the event happening at the time of the coming of the Lord.
Jesus also referred to this sign and wonder in Matthew 24:29-31 and says this will happen at the end of the tribulation period.
In Revelation 6:12, the same sign and wonder happens with the opening of the sixth seal which happens at/very near the end of the tribulation period.
It is clear that all of the Scripture references are talking about the same event that happens at/toward the end of the tribulation period when Jesus returns, or as the prophet said, “in the Day of the Lord, the Great Day of His wrath.” Since these are apocalyptic statements, we can’t be sure if they are meant to be taken symbolically or literally. We will certainly know when the time comes.
The Lord clearly tells us we should be aware of the prophetic signs and seasons (Matthew 16:1-3). These four blood moons could be signs telling us that Israel will be at war in these years, and capture more land and that America will experience more severe judgments from God that will bring about America’s collapse. But we should be able to understand this without any special signs. While the four blood moons are astronomically significant, are they significant as prophetic signs? We should keep our “spiritual balance” and not be overly focused on celestial signs. We certainly should not make life decisions based on these events.
Our focus should be on loving God and loving our neighbor and the stranger as ourselves. Our focus should be on treating our spouse with unconditional love and respect, preferring the other over ourselves. Our focus should be on being a good witness in our work ethic on the job. Our focus should be on being a good steward and giving of our time and finances to the kingdom of God. Our focus should be on forgiving those who have wronged us. Our focus should be on helping those in need. Our focus should be on praying for righteous leaders and repenting of the sins of our nation. Our focus should be on speaking out for Israel and speaking against anti-Semitism. Our focus should be on preparing for the end times. Our focus should be on living a godly life that pleases the Lord and makes a difference in our circle of influence.
