Over time, it has been asked why Israel is so often in the news. Israel is an important aspect of the Old Testament as well as the New in the Christian faith. And, extremely important to the Jewish people who were born, raised and exiled out of the land. Now, this homecoming for many in the Christian realm, also relates to the second coming of Christ as Lord and Savior.
When involved in religion, many believe the promises made by God to Israel will ultimately come to pass. In fact, some see 1948 as one of the Israeli prophecies when she was born a new nation having already come to pass. Another being the current trend of the Jewish people to return to the homeland.
Other Israeli prophecies are tied to the Moon. First, April 15, 2014 being a total lunar eclipse with three additional eclipses to follow. These eclipses combined are known as a Tetrad, with the second having taken place on October 8, 2014, the third on April 4, 2015 and the last to take place on September 28, 2015. One of only eight tetrads to occur in the 21st century.
Most scientists and scholars denounce the red of the moon as only being related to light scattering throughout the atmospheric regions of earth. As prophets recognize the solar eclipse as being part of the process, it is believed that the last solar eclipse in March of 2015 is the beginning of the end, and, that we have actually been in the seven years of tribulation since 2008.
There have always been zealots planning and professing the coming of Christ, the coming of the end or simply, the end of times in relation to the Mayan Calendar in 2012, another prophecy left unfulfilled like many others associated with Nostradamus. Some say the delays are due to human activity and intervention or simply a bad timeline while others just see the prophecies as false.
The book, "Four Blood Moons, " spent several months on the best seller list. After which, it gained great attention by the New Yorker and other publications. Several writers have written articles discussing the science behind these sequential eclipses though none have bought into the prospect as being part of Gods plan to bring an end to the world.
Whereas, others sit watching and waiting for the time of yet another failed prophecy to come and go without fulfillment. Most individuals, believers and otherwise still subscribe to unknowing when the world will end. After all, even the Bible says "In a time when ye think not, the son of man cometh"-Matthew 24:44. Still, there are those whom will always claim prophetic powers over knowledge and those whom will believe in most anything.
