A rare confluence of a lunar eclipse and a supermoon to happen this weekend has prompted such widespread fear of an impending apocalypse that the Mormon church was compelled to issue a statement cautioning the faithful to not get caught up in speculation about a major calamity.

Sunday night’s “blood moon” and recent natural disasters and political unrest around the world have led to a rise in sales at emergency-preparedness retailers.

Apocalyptic statements by a Mormon author have only heightened fears among a small number of Mormon followers about the looming end of time. The eclipse will give the moon a red tint and make it look larger than usual, in an event that will not happen again for 18 years.

Mormons are saying it too?
So now it's Mormons, Jews, Baptists........... who else? Catholics? Or are they too busy with their pope trip?

The Blood Moon as the fourth in a series along with the Solar Eclipse we had a few months ago have always meant huge changes for the Jewish people and Jewish nations. That is the thing to watch.

The Apocalypse is on the table.
Some action regarding Israel is on the table.
Changes over the whole world is on the table.

But according to biblical references, it will all come AFTER this blood moon and nobody in the Bible stated exactly when that would be. So, it looks like we are just as much up in the air over it as we ever were.

Tonight the moon is brighter than I have EVER seen it here. It's in the eastern sky right now, but it is BIG and it is BRIGHT. I thought the super moon, as well as blood moon, was supposed to be tomorrow night.

Yes, that's what happened. We all got distracted from the end of the world because the pope visited a few cities.:D

Catholics don't believe that man will know the hour or the day. I don't think the Jews believe it's the end, either.

If it's a predictable solar/lunar event, I don't think that would put it into the category of a "sign."

Some people believe that the tetrad has special significance because the eclipses coincide with important Jewish festivals. The two April lunar eclipses in 2014 and 2015 occurred at the same time as Passover, while the October and September eclipses occur during the Feast of Tabernacle. This, many suggest, may be connected to a biblical prophecy of the end of times.
The fact is, eight of the tetrads since the first century have coincided with Jewish holidays without the world going under, so there is absolutely no reason to believe that the 2014-2015 tetrad will end the world this time either.

The blood moon happening again is supposed to be some big thing for Israel, and maybe it will be. Guess we'll find out. But it certainly doesn't mean the 'end of the world' (of course, the Bible never said there would be an end...but there would be a change, sometime). Hagee has gotten people all worked up about it. My own cousin is pushing what he says. I posted something on FB yesterday about it, basically saying 'do not listen to what Hagee is saying'....she jumped all over me for that. Of course her being the daughter of a Pastor knows it's not the end of the world...but I think she believes it means the return of Jesus. She went so far as saying she believes it will happen no later than 2017!!! I told her we were told we are not to 'predict' this event, nobody knows when, but we are told to always be ready. She quit talking to me! :) In fact we're told when it happens, people will be going about their normal daily lives and not even THINKING about this...it will come as a surprise to everyone. So anyone that tells us what they think is going to happen because of peoples dumb predictions, really have no idea what the Bible tells us about these things.

So do you think religious people are all going to go pagan and look to nature signs for the second coming? Moon and stars and alignments and astrology?

I think everyone is referring to Revelation 6:12-17? There's a little more there than just an eclipse of the moon. But it is referred to as "the end" ... those last 7 years of the church age ... the end comes immediately after the great tribulation; so we need to finish the great trib first! (see the 4th seal)

I think everyone should go about their lives exactly as they do. If they're found wanting at the end, they weren't going about their lives properly. If they were, they don't need to worry about when the end comes or despair if it doesn't come when some 'prophet' says it will. Live your live as though the end will come at any time and it doesn't matter when it comes, does it?

But it doesn't tell us there will be an end to the world (as some think). It will be an end to things as we know it. The world will change, but not end. We will not know either when it'll happen....we're not supposed to. We weren't meant to worry about it, this is why we're told not to predict. It could happen tomorrow for all we know. We're not to know...but we're told to always be ready.

I don't think very many if any people think it will be the end of the world. The Bible states that the "end" will happen after a sign such as this . It doesn't say how long after and that leaves us with a little or a lot of time.

I think the message that should be conveyed is that we should all be ready all the time because our own end can come at any moment.

Yes. Change is what this sign has brought in the past. Not necessarily instant change either. So what it really amounts to is just a larger-than-usual red moon in the sky.

"the world" that is about to end, is not the physical earth we live on, but the political world that rules over our lives. Man's self rule is about to end, God's kingdom is about to take over. That's the dominion that is given to Christ and the saints.

People are always looking for signs and seeking to divine their future.

The conspiracy theorists are an offshoot of this tendency by seeking to "connect the dots" of chaos into something comprehensible. Mankind has always tended to try and use his brain to understand and, therefore, better able to control his environment.
