the Four Blood Moons

I don't know about all the talk about these blood moons... my faith is in Jesus, and Him alone. Regardless of man's predictions, and possible prophecies, the fact remains that we must not take our eyes off Him, and be swayed or brought into fear by doom and gloom prophecies. If it is indeed the end times, than even so come quickly Lord Jesus, and if not, I'll just continue walking with Him day by day.

Context, my friend, dramatic language describing the coming of the Covenant and the Holy Spirit.

16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

So disappointing to see so much sarcasm about another's belief. Never in my life have I seen so many people with the attitude I'm right and I know the interpretation of all scripture. And if you don't see it my way your nuts!

Satan couldn't do it any better.

I am not saying I am right at all. In fact I probably have many things wrong. I fully admit that.

The point I was trying to make is that it is important to be prepared this very hour to meet the Lord in eternity.

Billions have died thinking they had a year, seven years or one more decade and Jesus is coming back. We could meet Jesus today!!!

I can not control Jesus coming back. That is not within my power. But he told us certain things to do to be faithful.

He did not give us the spirit of fear

Live for God today and let tomorrow worry about itself

Don't prophesy something God did not tell you

Testify about Jesus his Death Burial Resurrection!

It is my opinion that we have stopped doing our Christian work because of the excuse "Well their is no time left, Jesus is coming back at any minute or day". This is the exact opposite of what the Apostles did. The Apostles were convinced Jesus could came back at any time and they preached, started churches and went on mission trips.

And no matter what anybody said I will always try to bring balance to the issue, that is just me!?!

The longer I'm a Christian the more I realize that the following are even greater signs than those in the heavens or on the earth below...

Matthew 24:44
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Luke 17:27
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

2 Peter 3:4
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

In my 25 years of being a believer... I've never seen so many (including fellow believers) not taking the Second Coming very seriously. Almost to the point of rolling their eyes at potential signs.

In a sense... to me... this is even a greater sign.

[Aquila]

I do believe that some focus on prophecy to the point of being unbalanced. However, the prophetic admonition to be alert and watching and for Christ's second coming need not be neglected.
