Four Blood Moons (22 page)

Iran is the greatest threat Israel currently faces. Under their fanatical former president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran has been on a fast track to produce nuclear capabilities while promising to “wipe Israel off the map.” Iran finances and trains Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists, equipping them with arms to use against Israel.

Consider this quote from the 2005 conference entitled “A World without Zionism” in Tehran, Iran:

Our dear Imam said that the occupying regime must be wiped off the map and this was a very wise statement. We cannot compromise over the issue of Palestine. Is
it possible to create a new front in the heart of an old front. This would be a defeat and whoever accepts the legitimacy of this regime [Israel] has in fact, signed the defeat of the Islamic world. Our dear Imam targeted the heart of the world oppressor in his struggle, meaning the occupying regime (Israel). I have no doubt that the new wave that has started in Palestine, and we witness it in the Islamic world too, will eliminate this disgraceful stain from the Islamic world. But we must be aware of tricks.
¹¹

While the nations of the Middle East present the visible threat to Israel's existence, radical Islamic organizations such as the PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Fatah are an ever-present force inciting strife and bloodshed, and providing momentum for an increasingly hostile and unstable environment for Israel. Fueled by perceived success in their last armed conflict with Israel, they are committed to an all-out war with Israel in the near future.

It is 1967 all over again.

The coming Four Blood Moons are aligning themselves, the next Shemittah year is nearing, the sages of old have foretold of events past and those to come, the enemies of Israel are surrounding the Land of Covenant once again, the signs of the terminal generation are complete . . . there is only one question left to answer. . . .

The fourth series of Four Blood Moons is coming! They are extremely rare even by scientific standards. God is shouting to us, “Something big is about to happen!” However, the coming Four Blood Moons of 2014–15 does not mean the Rapture is going to happen during that time. Why? Because the Rapture could happen at any moment.

What they
are
telling us is that God is getting ready to change the course of human history once again. He is preparing to display the next series of signs in the heavens. What is going to happen?

The question is not about the terminal generation or when Israel's enemies are going to attack next—the question is are
you
ready to meet the Lord? Are
your
children ready?

Watch and pray! Be prepared, like the five wise virgins who made sure they had extra oil for their lamps (Matthew 25:13). The Church is soon to leave the world. We are seeing signs of the end of this age.

Jesus said, “When these signs begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28).

We're getting ready to leave here. The King is coming! He is coming soon with power and great glory, and His reward is with Him (Isaiah 40:10). Are you ready? Are the members of your family ready? It's the greatest question you will ever answer in this life!

When you see these signs in the heavens, don't be afraid; rather lift up your heads and rejoice. Shout for joy! Your redemption draws nigh. The battle is over; soon we shall wear a robe and a crown of life.

There will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth
, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near
.

(L
UKE
21:25–28)

Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the great English preacher of the nineteenth century, didn't speak extensively concerning the end times. But what he did say showed a remarkable understanding concerning the interrelationship of the things to come and the return of Christ as recorded in the book of Luke.

The following are excerpts from his sermon entitled “Joyful Anticipation of the Second Advent”:

I must leave this first point, concerning the terrible time (a time of fearful national trouble) when this
precept is to be carried out, by just reminding you that, when the Lord Jesus Christ shall come, the heavens shall tell us: “There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars.” Now I come to THE REMARKABLE PRECEPT itself: “Then I look up; lift up your heads.”

Let there be no looking down because the earth is quaking and shaking, but let there be a looking up because you are going to rise from it; no looking down because the graves are opening; why should you look down?

You will quit the grave, never more to die. “Lift up your heads.” The time for you to hang your heads, like bulrushes, is over already, and will certainly be over when the Lord is coming, and your redemption draweth nigh. Wherefore, “look up, and lift up your heads.” Hallelujah!
