As I type this....about 11 at night....a blood moon is starting to form....and should be complete in our area shortly. Did you know that Donald Trump was born on a blood moon on June 14, 1946....and his famous 'down the escalator' announcement of his candidacy was during the 2014/2015 tetrad. I was born in the middle of a tetrad....four consecutive blood moons....or total lunar eclipses.....in my case the tetrad was from April of 1949 to September of 1950. I've always been interested in these type of events in the sky....from eclipses to comets.
Personally....I believe that God uses these happenings in the sky.....when He chooses to....the star that the wise men followed....whatever that was....is evidence of this. At times it seems as if we are terrified of considering anything not already contained in the Westminster Standards.
This blood moon tonight may have absolutely no significance at all....or it may. The much ballyhooed and written about tetrad mentioned above of a few years ago.....2014-2015....may have had no significance at all....and then maybe it did. God reveals things to us in His own perfect time.
Update: It was a spectacular total lunar eclipse. Blood Moons as they are called are not rare....but tetrads are. The earth had gone hundreds of years without experiencing one yet five occurred in the 20th century. What made the 2014/2015 tetrad even more interesting was that all four occurred on Jewish feast days.
