		<description><![CDATA[Most of us agree that the original conclusion drawn by pastor Mark Biltz that these blood moons mark the 2nd coming of Jesus are not probable.  However, I do think that the blood moons have appeared on these feast days when something large has happened to the state of Israel.  I think we can all agree that Daniel 9 makes Israel the epicenter of all prophecy, and Jerusalem the epicenter of Israel.  When I look at what he has found concerning the tetrad I don&#039;t see the 2nd coming per se, but I do see that possibility that something large is coming for Israel in the period between 2013 to 2016.  What?  Not sure.  Could it be the desolation of Syria?  Could it be Ezekiel 38-39?  Could it be false peace?

I believe we are watching the birth pangs and are seeing prophecy being fulfilled and developing, which is very exciting and truly gives us the awareness of just how awesome is our God!

Blessed is the man whom the Lord finds doing His work when He comes!  May you walk in His love by the power of His Spirit (Rom. 5:5, Gal 5:6).

In His Unfailing Love,

Patrick]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello John~

 As a non-traditional student, (grandmother to nine), I came across your site while searching for a well founded Christian approach to the lunar eclipses occuring in 2014-15. My Astronomy Professor has allowed the class the liberty to bring in data regarding upcoming astronomical events that each is interested in researching. 

 Having been a student for two years now, I know many of the deceptions perpetrated in colleges, and in my witness for Jesus, am seeking to use this as an avenue to introduce two young people I have met in the class to some &quot;light&quot; shall we say?

  If you have good-solid sources that you think a Professor would be attracted to for academic purposes, I would be interested in offering them to this man. Most often, the Professors do not link me with any kind of radical type fundamentalist, so I usually have their ear and some grace from God. If he is interested enough, he may include the info on this event in future classes... who knows how our Lord may use that? As all Professors do, he is looking for ways to be relative to the current culture.  (no surprise)

 I am praising God for the truths you share by the power of the Holy Spirit, and I will pray for your continued ministry to your family, and to the family of Christ. 

BTW~ I am a Calvary Chapel-ite... for 14 years now.  If you are interested in researching the background of our little corner in the body of Jesus check out the links following. ;)

		<description><![CDATA[Maryanne I want to say how fortunate I felt upon reading your comments.  I have never been to this site before, but still felt compelled to share my thoughts.  I&#039;ve not had any dreams.  However, I have had a premonition pertaining to Obama (president now) being the Anti-Christ.  It seems extremely obvious to me now.  But earlier it troubled me.  It was like a splinter in my mind whenever I tried to dismiss my thoughts and feelings on the matter; in the favor of others.  It seemed (according to others) as though I was foolish and ignorant to make such a statement.  I&#039;m not a bibilical scholar, or anything even close to one.  I&#039;m simply stating the truth about something... That until now, I had felt all alone.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find this site and many like it very interesting. I want to share my testimony of the end times, 

I had a dream, and it repeated itself 3 times each time going alittle further. It is very detailed and takes up 5-6 pages in my journal so I will sum it up. there was a group here in america hiding in the mountains and hills waiting and preparing, recruiting members based on their &quot;bible&quot; I saw pages of their bible it was a standard bible with words blacked out to make it read that the righeteous would die. and at the right time with a signal they came out and slaughtered and destroyed screaming the abomination of desolation is at hand. this was about a year ago. 

I now watch the world and americas and see Obama and Biden. without being a political person so please dont take this as an attack on Obama, but I feel like HE is the anti-crist he is the begining of the Obamanation of Desolation, with his one world nation views, I can see him standing in Jerusalem claiming to be God.

Even if he does though, and as interesting as the lunar cycles in 2015 are the bible says there will be 3 days of darkness, where the strong men would hide in the rocks for fear, 5 months of illness to make men repent. there will be 2 prophets that will be killed in Jerusalm and be raised from the dead. 

We will have PLENTY of signs if we watch without the possibility of the standard cycles of earth be taking part of it. When Christ came the first time the &quot;wisemen&quot; knew it. and when he died, it was undeniable to those who knew the signs.  we will not know the exact time or day but the whole world can feel the time is coming closer and we are preparing, the time of tribulations has already begun, look at the world earthquakes, seas not staying in its bounds, disasters, famines, water being polluted and so much more, and those who are prepared are not fearing. like the virgins that are prepared, they know it is soon just not exaclty when. the others may not believe it is so soon and are surprised by the coming because they do not watch. 2012, 2015 are all a long time from now and believing that it cannot happen until then gives leave to not be prepared now.

Just keep watching.... Pray for understanding... the Holy Spirit WILL guide you and show you great understanding if you seek it and accept it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2006 I had a premonition that something major will happen to the earth in mid 2016.  At that time I had never read the bible, but began reciting parts of the bible and had many premonitions about future biblical events.  It&#039;s interesting that the upcoming solar and blood moon eclipses in 2014 and 2015 are the closest predictions to fulfill the revelations prophecy and would fit with my premonition as well.  I feel too much enphasis is put on the prophecies in revelations, when more focus should be put on Jesus&#039; response to questions asked by the deciples.  In particular that people will be going to and fro, most biblical scholars will tell you now more than ever that people are going to and fro.  However, I believe that what was meant by to and fro is not how fast people will be moving or by what transport, but more likely that people will be going to and fro across continents in mass to escape from natural catastrophies, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes etc.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember reading Jesus saying that He will raise up this temple in 3 days, and they were astounded by that. Their understanding of the temple was natural understanding and not supernatural. Paul again said that YE are the temple of the Holy Ghost, not the physical temple in Jerusalem. Jesus said men will no longer say this place or that place,  but men will worship Him in Spirit and in truth, not at a physical location. So how can and why would anyone be looking for a physical temple when God has always desired a temple not made of human hands, but one fashioned by Himself?  God has ALWAYS been after a HEART, devoted to Him, not a PLACE. We can be so trapped by natural, unspiritual thinking that we interpret things in such a wrong-headed manner, and propagate an untrue gospel, whcih does not reflect His will and purpose, even if it is sincerely meant. It is obvious to me that there is such ignorance being propagated in the area of eschatalogical theology, and by very well-meaning people, christians, mind you, not unsaved people, by what I would call sincerely ignorant people. This area REQUIRES GREAT DISCERNMENT and PATIENCE, otherwise you may be deceived by it and even make foolish ignorant choices in life, because of being seduced by these teachings. Cults are started this way! 

SO many of us are SO SURE OF OUR THEOLOGY, WE WOULD NEVER! NEVER! THINK OR ENTERTAIN THE NOTION THAT WE COULD BE MISTAKEN. i AM NOT SURE I WOULD BE DOGMATIC ABOUT MY ESCHATOLOGY.  

WHEN I was younger I remember everyone talking about the planets lining up in 1981 and people began to store food and build shelters and be ready for survivalism, when the beast took over! lolol. This is an example of christians looking like fools and becoming so heavenly-minded that we are truly no earthly good!!!!!!!!!! I know that many of us would defend our behavior and find a verse like in 1 Cor. chapter 2 to say we suffer persecution be cuz we become Fool&#039;S for christ&#039;s sake. We really need to be sure of what we are doing is what He has intended. and even be careful of what we teach others!

It occurs to me that believers can be deceived so easily!!!!!!!!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RICH.
  May I put my 2 cents in. The blood moon article is interesting I didn&#039;t know about the eclipses in 2014 but it fits in very well with what I think will happen.  First let me say that Tabatha is on the right track with festivals and traditions.very good.
 the day and hr. that no one knows, is missed by many people. high probability thats. the day JESUS will return.  The feast of trumpets.  I don&#039;t know the year but 2014 or 2015 sound good.  

I think the point that Syria comes first is right on. the bible said that Damascus will be a ruinous hep. I don&#039;t remember the ch&amp; yr. but Damascus has never been destroyed yet. I think Israel will take care of that this year. Israel has said that if Syria  attacks Israel with wmd&#039;s, a few min. latter Damascus will be a smoking hole in the ground. Syria is known to have wmd&#039;s.

My main point of this response to the article is this.

 I think the seven year tribulation may be five months long.

 Point #1  Matthew 24 / 22. and except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:  but for the elects sake those days shall be shortened.

Point #2 second witness. Mark 13/20.  And except that the Lord had shortened those days,  no flesh should be saved:
but for the elects sake, whom he hath chosen. he hath shortened the days.

Point #3 Revelation 9.  I will take parts of it to make my point, you can read the whole chapter.  I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. [ Jesus said that I saw Satan fall as a star.] and there came out of the smoke locust upon the earth. [the season of the locust is five months. may to sept.]
rev. 9/5 but that they should be tormented five months.
rev. 9/10. and there power was to hurt men five months.
 
The feast day in may is Passover, the feast day in sept. is trumpets. the day that no one knows the day or hr.    
 
Satan is in charge of the locust army. the locust army has five months to do there work, thats probably all the time he has also. 

that&#039;s my thoughts. I would be interested in your thoughts
on my opinion.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you understand Jewish tradition it speaks to the Rapture. You only receive one side of our faith if you just study the bible. We need to dig to our roots. I have found this out recently, once I started to research Jewish traditions, festivals and language. The Jews have God&#039;s calendar and commandments concerning His seasons (festivals). 

Example: The first of Av is a celebration of the Feast of the Trumpets. This was also considered the celebration that &quot;no one knew the time or the day of it&#039;s arrival&quot; because it began when the full moon was visible. They extended it to two days, because of this, otherwise people would miss the celebration and not be able to participate as God commanded them. (reference the Lord&#039;s coming &quot;with a blast of a trumpet and a shout&quot;)

Jesus said &quot;no one knows the hour or the day&quot;, but also said that His people would not be caught by surprise. (parable of the Virgins with the oil lamps and the Master who went away leaving the servant in charge.) God is so logical and mathematical and repetitive.

Jesus also rebuke the Pharisees because they did not see the sign of His coming. &quot;you can look to the sky and discern the day, but you do not know the time of His coming&quot; (loosely translated)

Please do not discount this until you completely investigate all that is being said. I have gain so much from expanding my vision to His people. We greatly depend on the Word of God, but can not forget the people He gave it to... the Jew then the Gentile.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you understand Jewish tradition it speaks to the Rapture. You only receive one side of our faith if you just study the bible. We need to dig to our roots. I have found this out recently, once I started to research Jewish traditions, festivals and language. The Jews have God&#8217;s calendar and commandments concerning His seasons (festivals). </p>
