Natural Disasters Between the Blood Moons

There have been an extreme explosion of natural disasters since the first Blood Moon occurred in April, 2014 with the lunar eclipse.  How does this correlate with the Bible? 

Genesis 1:14 tells us that God created the sun, moon and stars, not only to give mankind light, but to separate the seasons as well. The Creator also had a greater plan in His scheme of creation, which included using such a brilliant light to show signs in the heavens. There are many examples found throughout the Bible that speaks of watching for such signs in the sun, moon and stars. The Bible also goes on to say that "He changes times and seasons;" (Daniel 2:21)

There were signs recorded in the Bible of such cosmic things happening. In the Book of Joshua it says: 

"So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jasher. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day." (Joshua 10:13)

In reference to the Prophet Habakkuk, who prophesied during the reign of King Jehoiakim, stated, "[The] Sun and moon stood still in the heavens" (Habakkuk 3:11). This prediction during the Chaldean siege came to fruition.

When the Magi visited the Messiah, they were led to the baby Jesus by a great, bright star in the East, "We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him." (Matthew 2:1). 

According to Pastor John Hagee, there will be celestial signs in the heavens and he goes on to describe these occurrences in his book, Four Blood Moons: Something Is About to Change. Hagee also believes that these unusual moons will have a great significance for Israel due to them appearing around various Jewish holidays.

Perhaps Pastor Hagee is right when it comes to natural change, because with these Blood Moons has come many natural disasters around the world. The following list enumerates the various natural phenomena occurring the past year:

Natural Disasters since April, 2014	Number Worldwide
Tornadoes (F2 or greater)	108
Volcanoes (active eruption)	30
Cyclones (Category 2 or greater)	10
Hurricanes (Category 3 or greater)	10
Earthquakes (magnitude greater than 6.5)	63
Floods/Landslides (more than 15 death toll )	45
Floods/Landslides (more than 2,000 displaced )	44
Major Winter Storms/Blizzards (USA only)	26

According to the Evangelical preacher, God is getting ready to show such signs in the heavens once again. "There's a sense in the world that things are changing and God is trying to communicate with us in a supernatural way," Hagee told CBN News.   

John Hagee also predicted... "I believe that in these next two years, we're going to see something dramatic happen in the Middle East involving Israel that will change the course of history in the Middle East and impact the whole world."

Pastor John Hagee

Whether the predictions for the celestial signs implicating change for Israel will come to fruition in our modern world, mankind will have to wait and see after the last of the Blood Moon tetrad occurs on September 28, 2015. But it cannot be denied that the natural disasters occurring around the world are happening more often and, in many cases, more fierce than ever before.

"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea." (Luke 21:25) 

 "The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night." (Revelation 8:12)

Commentary By The Editor:

I regularly check this website and various articles that I have already written to make sure the photos, charts, etc. are still visible on the site. Once in a while they just disappear! I replace them and go to check the next article...

When checking this particular story, I was somewhat bemused to discover the video of Pastor John Hagee had not only been removed, but the entire account had been "terminated" completely from YouTube! Why? Then I found this verse while questioning such motives.

"The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;" ~ Mark 4:14-16

So here is an updated video for my readers to ponder upon...
