“Blood moon” visible from Dominica early Tuesday

The full effect of the “Blood Moon” will be seen in the early hours of Tuesday

Star gazers, get your binoculars out since tonight you have front row seats to one of the natural world’s most spectacular displays: a total lunar eclipse, commonly called a “Blood Moon.”

A lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, moon, and Earth align so that Earth’s shadow falls across the moon’s surface.

The moon will not completely disappear however it will take on a reddish hue, hence the name “Blood Moon.”

The full effect of the total eclipse will be seen in Dominica at approximately 3:46 on Tuesday morning, however you can start seeing the event hours before.

There will be a total of four ‘Blood Moons’ in 2014 and 2015 which is already causing some hysteria similar to the one surrounding the Mayan prophecy which said that the world would end on 21 December, 2012.

American pastor and author John Hagee’s book Four Blood Moons: Something is About To Change, which was published last year, noted the connection between the ‘Blood Moons’ and the biblical prophecy about doomsday.

“According to the Biblical prophecy, world history is about to change dramatically,” he told the Daily Express. “To get four blood moons you need something absolutely extraordinary in astrological terms. Every time this has happened in the last 500 years, it has coincided with tragedy for the Jewish people followed by triumph. And once again, for Israel, the timing of this Tetrad is remarkable.”

He added, “The first of the four blood moons will come on April 15 this year, during Passover. The second will be on October 8, at the time of the Feast of the Tabernacles. On April 4, 2015, during Passover, we will have another blood moon. Then finally, on September 28, during next year’s Feast of the Tabernacles, the fourth blood and final moon will dawn.”

The Bible has its share of red-colored moons.

For example the Book of Joel, 2:31, states: “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.”

Revelations 6:12, says: “There was a great earthquake. The Sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair. The whole Moon turned blood red.”

      Stop this euorocentric propaganda. Geez when will we grow up and put behind us the childish ways of an ancient religion inherited from a corrupt roman world of 2000 yrs ago. It is quite preposterous.

      • November 10, 2014

        Nothing about the “blood moons” comes to us from the ancient Roman Empire or any of its pagan religions.

        The blood moon prophecies come to us from the ancient Hebrew prophets of the Old Testament and the writers of the New Testament. They have given us hundreds of prophecies (predictions) in the Bible. Many of these have already been fulfilled including the re-birth of the Nation of Israel May 14, 1948, and the rise of both China and Russia as world super powers, and the creation of atomic/nuclear warfare, etc. Many more of the prophecies are yet to be fulfilled.

        Only a fool rejects the Word of God (the Bible) or suggests that people put away from them the prophesies of the Bible. Many of them have already come to pass. Did you know that there were several hundred prophecies in the Old Testament (written from 400 to 1,000 years before Christ was born) predicting His first coming? It was prophesied that He would be born to the Hebrew race, to the tribe of Judah, to the family of David, to a virgin. He would be born in the little town of Bethlehem. He would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver, crucified, and rise from the dead. Today we have all of this in writing. The ancient manuscripts foretelling all theses things pre-date the birth of Christ. They are in our possession today and have been studied by modern church leaders and literary scholars.

        Only a fool rejects Christ because Christ was not just another man, a teacher, or the founder of a religion. This man made many claims including the claim that He was the only Savior of mankind and the only way to heaven. Then He predicted His own death on the cross and His resurrection on the third day. To cap all of this on the morning of the third day He stepped out of the tomb!

        Don’t you realize that when He came out of the tomb He was validating ALL His claims including the claim that He was the ONLY way to heaven :?:

        And yes, He will come again :!: The nail prints in His hands will be the same :!:

        Do you doubt His resurrection? Examine the evidence! Visit my website

        http://www.livinghopeministries.ca

        Click on to SERMONS . Then click on to the sermon MANY INFALLIBLE PROOFS.

        In this sermon I will share with you the some of the arguments and evidences for the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead on that first Easter morning that skeptics have not been able to refute in the past 2,000 years.

        I will also give you the names of several lawyers who have said the evidence for the resurrection of Christ would stand up today in a modern court of law. One of these was an unbeliever when he began his research. It was his intention to write a book about “the historical Jesus” and leave Him in the grave. But before he had completed his research his keen legally trained objective mind was overcome by the truth. He had an encounter with the risen Christ and converted to the faith. He completed the book and called it “The Book that Refused to be Written.”

        Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill, D.D., International Evangelist.

    To all the doom and gloom preachers – what about world without end. Amen

    These are the same people who say the world is 5,000 yrs old, that dinosaurs are mythical creatures that did not exist.

    The irony is that these preachers are primarily focused on wealth creation at the expense of the easily swayed and ignorant.

    they created hell on earth with their biblical justification of slavery. now they are at it again

    Nonsense, All this talk about end times. I often wonder why is it that all the religious ones are so looking forward to the destruction of the earth. Do you people know that there is no mystery as to why the moon appeared to be red last night? There are simple and clear explanations about what causes the moon to appear red. And folks the moon did not turn red, the surface of the moon remained the same no mysterious force passed by and painted it red. Lol. In this modern day and age with the vast amount of information out there at your fingertips I can’t believe the level of ignorance displayed by some of us like we are leaving in BC 4000. WISE UP

    I can’t believe that in 2014 there’s a Lunar Eclipse and some people are panicking thinking it’s the end of the world and even relating an eclipse to the Government. This is shocking!!! Surely we can’t be that backward!!! People are reading this from all over the world!!! If people think this is a joke it’s actually not funny. There’s nothing unusual about an eclipse. Frankly, it’s very exciting. We’re fortunate to experience it.

    April 15, 2014

    Calm down people. Back to basics, the gender of the sun is masculine, the gender of the moon is feminine,however, sometimes at least every four years they have to cross over each other in order to energies each other and we call that eclipse.. a vehicle put his lights on full power and he dim his lights when necessary that does not mean the lights are damaged. Be prepared I could come at cock crow.There are things we cannot prove and we have to learn to accept

  10. A Higher Calling
    April 14, 2014

    …..How could some people believe that there is no Higher Power – One who can cause the moon to get in the earth’s shadow or cause the sun to go dark. One whom we have to answer to. I put it that simply – the watch on your hand was made by someone and it came with a manual. Why would a human being which is much more intricate not come with a manual – the bible. The name of our maker we call him God, Jehovah, Master. We human didn’t just happen, we are not accidents. Stop looking at things like they just happen. Even if the moon gets in the sun’s shadow – it’s still an event that God is using to tell or show us something. God, Jehovah. Most High…. created us and it would do us good if we get in tune with him instead of trying to rationalize everything. Things don’t just happen. Please don’t be afraid to live right.

      You are very uneducated by what I am reading. There are many fragments in you comment. If there was a most high, he should have taught you proper English.

      Example: “God, Jehovah.” That is not a sentence, it is lacking a verb.

    All of the tumbs down, but tumbs down or not Jesus is on His way back to earth, and people need to know that eternity is forever.

    If you see someone falling into a hole of fire, even if it was your enemy would’nt you warn that person that there is danger, please be careful and don’t fall. Well these are the end days, and the bible gave us much warning, and thank God that we are still alive and can ask God to forgive us of our sins, and repent.

    When Christ returns it will be like a thief in the night, I would advise everyone to get serious with your soul, because no one will stand before God for you.

    Take heed of the warnings, because God loves us so much that’s why He is giving us signs. Everytime there is a blood moon and it falls on a Jewish holiday something significant happens with the Jewish people, and the eclispe of the sun something significant happens that involves the whole world.

    So it doesn’t matter how many tumbs down, God loves you all

      How could Jesus come back like a thief in the night, and the same bible said he would come with the clouds? Allu people need to be purged of religion and get a new mind. No such thing is going to happen. keep waiting…

      • April 15, 2014

        God did not say the day our the hour he is coming just as a thief does not tell u the day or the hour he will rub you and i Ask yourself does the cloud stop working at night. Who control the clouds? God can ride the cloud day or night

  15. April 14, 2014

    People of Dominica please take heed for Jesus has spoken and His words will go unfulfilled.

    Here is His words to you about the Great Tribulation, which is just around the corner, my people do you belong to Jesus?

    “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened” Matthew 24: 21-22

    The elects are those whom God has chosen for Himself, and those of us know who we are, because we have the “Living Hope in us–this hope is assurance from God, He chosen us to be His people, by the Blood of Jesus Christ.

    • April 14, 2014

      People, if you don’t heed of the “warnings” that Jesus is about to return, you will be taken by surprise one that will be tragic for you right into the existence of “Eternity”.

      “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were “eating” and “drinking”, “marrying” and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Matthew 24: 37-39

      I can imagine that those people were making fun of Noah, laughing at him, just as most of those who will not believe are doing today.

      Unfortunately the joke was on those people–a destructive joke as well–the unfaithful, unbelieving, self-centered, and foolishly proud people of today will know that same kind of destruction, because they made fun of Jesus’ warning.

      • April 14, 2014

        The apostle John saw all of it as Jesus showed him. Here is what he tells us pertaining to the start of God’s Judgment–which is better known as the Day of the Lord.

        Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances: “I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the “sun became black” as sackcloth of hair, and the “moon became like blood”. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

        “And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Revelations 6: 12-17

        It is apparent that man will call for physical death, but to no avail. If Jesus finds you in the body, you will not suffer physical death, but make sure that you have been transformed by the renewing of your mind–that is what it means to be ready for Jesus’ return, for you will remain as you are, or for physical death, for there is no way of changing on the other side of the grave.

        For the mind that goes to Eternity in its carnal condition is also taking a dead soul with it–completely separated from the God of Life.

        The torments and torture of a dead or lost soul existing under the control of a carnal mind, is what is known as “hell” Too bad that this kind of suffering will continue in Eternity for everlasting.

        People of Dominica, make sure that you have chosen Life in Jesus Christ while you are now in the body. Faith, trust, humility, and obedience, are the tools which you need–Holy Spirit will teach you how to used those tools

    REPENT! REPENT! EVERY BODY WANTS TO Go To heaven but, no body wants to die! The signs and signals are evident for all to see, so lets live in love, peace and
    harmony.

    • Unbiased Kalinago
      April 14, 2014

      True but not everyone will die. The book of Revelation says that on the day the world ends, “those who are still alive and IN CHRIST, will be taken up to heaven by angels and will be transformed.”

      • April 15, 2014

        The only death that will happen in the future is the second death, because Adam and Eve suffered that death in the Garden of Eden, the first time –they brought us, their offspring–into the world with that same death condition.

        The difference is that God gave us a “second chance” through the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, to come alive in His Love, but He also gave us “free will” to make the choice–which is Life or death, the second death which will mean complete separation from Him in Eternity.

        If we choose Life in Love–which is the Spiritual blood of Jesus Christ, the Son in flesh and bones, we must also apply faith, trust, humility, and obedience–otherwise we will be no difference from those who didn’t make the choice of Life.

        People of Dominica, you still have the privilege to accept Jesus by your faith, do not allow those lies, of the devil, into your mind. He knows that he is going to his cage for 1000 years, he will try to take as many of us with him.

        It is a good thing that I ain’t going with him–I am too smart for him to fool me now. Hehehehehehehehe!

    What is so scary about the moon moving into the earth’s shadow? This happens every year. It just happens differently each time.

    • April 14, 2014

      Good for you Wayne. I only wish that the believers in nonsense would give us all of their wealth. After all, they say they believe the end is near. Let them put their money where their mouths are!

      • April 15, 2014

        Hey Dan, I remember you from Dominica News Weekly; do you remember a lady by the name of “Elizabeth Xavier” who debated with you about your article concerning the existence of God–which you blended with religion?

        Well I will never believe in religion either, for it was made by man, but I see that you are still at it–that God does not exist–that is where you and I am not in agreement.

        Well don’t be too quick to thank Wayne, for there may be nothing to fear because of the moon eclipse, today–yes it happens every year; but there is a great meaning to this event. There will come an extreme state of “peril” a fear that man will not be able to deal with, to the point that they will be calling for physical death–but to no avail.

        I am telling you now, that where there is no God, there is no Life, and where there is no Life, the physical body is like a walking coffin, wandering the world with a dead soul within. I know this by personal experience; the idea of nonsense to you is the concept of Life for me. I have this truth “living” in me. Thanks to my God of Grace because He is Love.

        My soul is awakened and Lighted up to live the Life of Love, with its neon colors–8 of them from Holy Spirit, Love Himself; why does so many of you reject that Life? I will never understand.

        Yes also, the world is coming to an end, because that
        “world” in question is “people” who are conformed to the system of pride, greed, fame, popularity, discord, and disdain–you name the corruption and it belongs to the world–the world and its system must come to an end, so that the people of God will enjoy peace and harmony in Life with Him–the wealth which you talked about will also be worthless to you.

        Exactly, if they think that this Jesus is coming back for them, why waste time here on earth in all this misery, why not give up everything they own, die and go to heaven to live. The same ones complaining of the difficulties of the world…the same ones not willing to lay down their lives for their fellow man/woman. They have been had with this Jesus thing. The bible was written as a novel, soap opera, movie script, story line…no real events ever happened as described in any of the bibles available for circulation of the masses.

He’s coming is not dependent on wether we believe or wether we are ready so becareful wat u say.u better get ready

      • April 15, 2014

        @Shameless April 14, 2014

        Hearing that since you were a baby does not mean it is not true–the fact that you are still in the body means that you have the privilege to prepare, especially that you are not ignorant of that saying.

        Also the apostle Peter cautioned us: But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2nd Peter 3: 8

        Also we here from the prophet Hosea through his prophecy to ancient Israel: Come, and let us return to the Lord; for He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; on the “third day” He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. Hosea 6: 1-3

        And so we have passed 2000 years, all of those years God has given us to take heed of Life in Love, He, Himself. Who is to say that I day for Him is not any day around the corner.
