The Meaning of Blood Moons and Tetrads :: By Jeff Van Hatten

Matthew 24:42 – “Watch therefore: for you know not in what hour Yeshua will come.”

Luke 21:25-28 – “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars…. the powers of the heavens will be shaken…. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, for your redemption is near!”

James 5:7 – “Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.”

Am I the only one asking, “Aren’t the blood moons, especially the tetrads, predictive signs? Aren’t they prophetic in nature?” Are these questions that you are asking? Has this shaken your faith in Yahweh? I pray not.

You Have Heard It Said

Didn’t many major prophecy teachers say the blood moon tetrads were pointing to major events that are expected to burgeon forth? Haven’t they shouted this assumption from the rooftops and from every media source available? But what if this assumption is not correct? What if the tetrads, instead of pointing to a coming event, point back to an already fulfilled event? Let’s take a look!

The blood moon tetrad syndromes are four total lunar eclipses in a row plus four total solar eclipses. The next Partial Solar Eclipse will be on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, and the next Total Lunar Eclipse will be on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. We will have to wait for the next Tetrad, which will be in 2032-2033, with the following eclipses: April 25/26, 2032; October 18/19, 2032; April 14/15, 2033; and October 08, 2033.

Yahweh Keeps His Promises

Genesis 1:14 – “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for appointed times of meeting, and for days, and years.”

The common descriptive saying is that a solar eclipse denotes the judgment of Yahweh upon the nations, blood moons denote the judgment of Yahweh upon the nation of Israel, and a solar eclipse occurring in the midst of four blood moons denotes the judgment of Yahweh upon the world.

Below are some of the promises I believe Yahweh has already kept:

Matthew 24:2 – “And Yeshua said to them, ‘Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.'”

The blood moons (not a tetrad) in AD 70 may have simply confirmed Yeshua’s prophecy that the Jerusalem Temple would be destroyed. Yahweh keeps his promises.

Ezekiel 36:19 – “And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed throughout all the nations.”

The blood moons in AD 70 and the tetrad in AD 1493-1494 may have simply confirmed Yeshua’s prophecy that the Israelites would be scattered to all the nations. While they were scattered to the European, Asian, and Middle Eastern nations in AD 70, it was not until the Americas were discovered that the final fulfillment of this prophecy could take place and be fully confirmed by a tetrad. Yahweh keeps his promises.

Isaiah 66:8 – “Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.”

Ezekiel 36:24 – “For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.” (See also Isaiah 11:10-12.)

The tetrads in 1949-50 may simply confirm that Yahweh has, indeed, returned his people to their promised land. Yahweh keeps his promises.

Luke 21:24 – “Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”

Micah 4:2 – “For out of Zion will go forth Torah, the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.”

The tetrads in 1967-68 may simply confirm that Yahweh has, indeed, returned Jerusalem to his people. Yahweh keeps his promises.

Zechariah 12:3 – “It will happen in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the world will be gathered together against it.”

The tetrads in 2014-2015 may simply confirm that Israel has, indeed, become that burdensome stone and that all nations are now aligned against it. Yahweh keeps his promises.

Yahweh Expects Obedience

1 Samuel 15:22 – “Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen better than the fat of rams.”

Yahweh is not pleased with any person, church, or church body that brings in other practices and calls them his way of worship. Remember his reaction to the Golden Calf at Mount Sinai? Remember his reaction to the incense of Nadab and Abihu? The tetrads in 2014-2015 may have been Yahweh’s pronouncement of his disgust with the abominations in these times.

Conclusions

2 Peter 3:9 – “Yahweh is not slow about keeping His promises as some people think, but is patient toward you because He wants everyone to turn from sin and come to repentance.”

Hebrews 11:1 – “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”

The Blood Moons and Tetrads are Yahweh’s primary confirmation that he is still in charge, that he keeps his promises, and that he expects obedience. Though they also often denote judgment upon the people, upon the nations, and upon the world, they are merely a secondary effect of these phenomena! Yahweh is not slow in fulfilling his promises.

The Fall Moedim [appointed times/feast days] will be fulfilled in his time to the day, hour, and minute, just as were the Spring Moedim! I have stated many times, “I do NOT set dates. Yes, the season of Yeshua’s return is upon us, and the final fulfillments of prophecies are about to be brought to fruition. Yeshua’s return may be this fall, next fall, or some other period of time. We are to be prepared to meet him when he calls but are also to be patient, watchful, alert, and continuing our labors of faith until he does.”

It is my hope that you will place your trust in Yeshua and continue to look forward to an eternity with Yahweh, Yeshua, and the Ruach Ha’Kodesh [Holy Spirit]. However, those who fail to place their faith in Yeshua will not have that joy.

Final Thought

Luke 21:28 – “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near!”

We are always to be ready for Yeshua to return. Are you ready? If not, then get ready. Exercise whatever time you have to repent and trust Yeshua for your eternal salvation. Do not test Yahweh’s patience and wait too long – the dress rehearsals will not continue much longer. May Yom Teruah [Rosh Hashanah] this year be fulfilled in the resurrection of the dead and the rapture of Yeshua’s Bride.

The Darkness Will Not Last :: By Dave Hubley

(There is a special message at the end of this article for those who might happen to read this and do not have Jesus in their life and are looking for peace and a way to better understand the present-day insanity and confusion.)

It seems that the forces of evil and depravity just keep on winning.

The globalists (for brevity’s sake, for there are far too many terms that could be applied to the anti-God forces) continue with their agenda as though they are completely assured of final victory.

One of my questions is, what would that “victory” look like, and who would define it? In that subjective answer lies the confirmation (in human terms); that there would only be unrelenting war, debauchery, mayhem and murder.

That is the human condition without God.

Indeed, in this world, there are more than adequate laws and legal mechanisms in place to put a stop to the unlawful behavior within our so-called governing bodies. Almost every country has some sort of a “Constitution” on the state, local, and/or federal level that is inspired in large part by the American Constitution; and they too are ignored, circumvented, and marginalized just as ours now is.

There are now so many people in positions of power who have no regard for laws, ethics or scruples, that (human-regulated) justice cannot prevail.

When justice does seem to prevail and legal directives are issued, the godless ones simply ignore it. And so, the downward spiral continues apparently unabated. They no longer fear God, and they certainly don’t fear the people they “lord” over.

God’s Word speaks to this (no surprise there).

Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents. They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them” (Romans 1:28-32).

I say apparently. We must remember that God has made it clear that He is still on His throne and His Council will stand (Isaiah 46:10).

In previous articles, I have tried to stress that fact, as I have heard from so many brothers and sisters who see what is happening all around us and are very disheartened, even to their core.

So… why is it that evil seems to be winning? God’s Word speaks to this as well.

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).

“Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn'” (Matthew 13:30).

It is a Glory and a Praise to God that He continues to rescue lost souls in this life; and He has let us know in numerous passages of scripture that that is why the evil continues.

Now, more than ever, we see in these same scriptures that the Lord has anticipated our sadness and vexation and has provided a reward to those who diligently search His Word.

“He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, And your lips with rejoicing” (Job 8:21). (Emphasis added by me.)

From the ancient book of Job to the Words of the Lord Jesus Himself, He promises us a hope and a future of joy and gladness with Him.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11).

Yes, this was spoken to the Jews by Jeremiah the Prophet long before the first advent of Jesus in the flesh, but God knows that His Word would stand forever.

“The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:8).

And He has told us so.

“Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7).

Are not all Christians a people who are called by His Name?

Did Jesus not establish the church and promise that the gates of hell would not prevail against it? (Matthew 16:18). The same (and the Only) Jesus who spoke the world into existence.

In past articles, I have tried to make clear that it is obvious to me that the entire Word of God was assembled by the Lord, ultimately, for all peoples who are called by His Name.

Whether Jew or Gentile, whether Christian or Messianic Jew, we will all be one people when God the Father brings all things together as He clearly promises us.

“For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity” (Ephesians 2:14-16). (Emphasis added by me.)

“Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh(Luke 6:21). (Emphasis joyfully added by me.)

“For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; And it shall be to the Lord for a name, For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off” (Isaiah 55:12-13).

We must set our faces like flint and determine to stand on the Rock of our Salvation patiently waiting and occupying (Luke 19:13b) until He comes for us.

The Lord knows who will come to the foot of the Cross, and He has given us that understanding through His Word.

“For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified(Romans 8:29-30). (Emphasis added by me.)

We see these actions are all in the past tense. In God’s view, they are already done.

Also, I think we can safely conclude that when Jesus made this statement:

“I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5.5).

He included all the Father has given Him.

“This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day” (John 6:39).

Now to the crux of this article.

Several decades ago, I learned betrayal firsthand. I determined never to trust anyone ever again. That was my decided life philosophy, and I lived it every day. I was completely inwardly focused, and I lived only for me.

In all those years, God patiently waited and, indeed, watched over me until the day I finally heard the call of the Holy Spirit.

I (?) decided that I would trust one more time.

“So I fell at his feet to worship him. But he told me, ‘Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy(Rev 19:10). (Emphasis joyfully added by me!)

I have never looked back. Jesus is indeed Trustworthy and True, the Author of my (all of our) Salvation. The Living Word and the epitome of Love. (Love as defined by Him)

Therefore, I will patiently wait upon Him and trust completely in His timing and Righteous plan for eternity.

Patience is not easy for us who watch for His appearing, but, in the case of the Lord, we will not be disappointed.

“But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him'” (1 Corinthians 2:9).

I will continue to pray for all those who are lost.

I will continue to pray for my struggling brothers and sisters.

Sometimes I can barely stand to live in this sin-besotted world, but I will trust Him.

Eternity is a very long time.

It will be worth the wait.

For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no hope or peace in your life:

You can have hope. You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior. The peace that passes understanding.

It requires that you come before God on His terms.

And, what are His terms according to His Word?

  • Genuine repentance (turning to God instead of continuing to reject or ignore Him).
  • Confession of sins (that you are a sinner and acknowledge that to God).
  • That you understand that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
  • To acknowledge to God that you are unable to pay that debt.
  • Belief that Jesus Christ paid your death sentence for you on the cross.
  • To believe that Jesus is the Way, the only Way, that God has established by which humans may be saved from the consequences of their sin and rebellion.

God has made it absolutely clear that there is no one who comes before Him, under His terms, that will be refused.

  • No one: no race, no color, no country of origin, regardless of any previous belief system: no one.
  • No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will.
  • Salvation is available to everyone without any exceptions.

If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, “Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me,” because we can trust Him to keep His Word. He always has. He always will.

John 5:24: “Truly, Truly, I say to you that he who hears My words and believes the One who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed from death to life.”

There are no answers and there is no hope in the world by governments, organizations, politics or politicians. There are only lies and deception. But you can have the Truth and the peace you seek.

The answers are in the Word of God—The Bible. If you ask God with all your heart, He will hear you. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
