2 1 "THE COMING FOUR FULL BLOOD MOONS" PART 2 JOEL 2:30-31 INTRO: THIS IS THE 2ND SERMON IN THE SERMON SERIES ON "THE COMING FOUR FULL BLOOD MOONS." THIS PROPHECY SERIES IS PROMPTED BY THE PROPHECY OF JOEL 2:30-31 AND DATA RELEASED BY NASA. I. LET'S REVIEW SERMON # 1. A) GOD CREATED THE SUN...MOON...STARS (GEN. 1) B) AS CREATOR...HE HAS ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF SUN... MOON...STARS. 1) STORY OF JOSHUA. 2) STORY OF HEZEKIAH. 3) WISE MEN FOLLOWING THE STAR TO FIND CHRIST CHILD. C) "SIGNS IN THE HEAVEN" = GOD'S BILLBOARD. GEN. 1:14, "THEN GOD SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHTS IN THE FIRMAMENT OF THE HEAVENS TO DIVIDE THE DAY FROM NIGHT, AND LET THEM BE FOR "SIGNS" AND SEASONS, AND FOR DAYS AND YEARS."

3 2 THE HEBREW WORD FOR "SIGN" = OWTH = "A SIGNAL." JESUS SAID (MARK 13:24-26) "BUT IN THOSE DAYS, THE SUN SHALL BE DARKENED (ECLIPSE) AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT (ECLIPSE) THEN THEY SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN WITH GREAT POWER AND GLORY." D) THE FIRST 4 BLOOD MOONS APPEARED IN AFTER THE "EDICT OF EXPULSION" WAS ISSUED FOR ALL JEWS AND THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA; THE HOME OF THE PERSECUTED AND OPPRESSED. E) 2ND APPEARING OF 4 BLOOD MOONS = 1948 ISRAEL WAS RE-BORN ACCORDING TO ISAIAH 66:8... "A NATION SHALL BE BORN IN A DAY." F) 3RD APPEARING OF 4 BLOOD MOONS = 1967 THIS WAS THE 6 DAY WAR IN ISRAEL IN WHICH JERUSALEM WAS REUNITED WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE AFTER 2000 YEARS G) THE NEXT APPEARING OF 4 BLOOD MOONS = APRIL 15, 2014-SEPTEMBER 28, 2015 = 18 MONTHS.

4 3 II. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? A) CONSIDER THE DATES OF THIS FOUR MOON ECLIPSE. THEY ARE PACKED WITH MEANING: 1) PASSOVER...APRIL 15, 2014 = 15 NISAN (APRIL) ON JEWISH CALENDAR, THE FIRST DAY OF PASSOVER... LISTEN...15 NISAN IS THE DAY THE JEWISH PEOPLE WERE DELIVERED FROM EGYPT'S BONDAGE AND STARTED FOR THE PROMISED LAND. 2) OCTOBER 8, 2014 = 14 TISHREI...THE EVE OF SUCCOT...AND IN JUDAISM REPRESENTS GOD'S PROTECTION OVER THE JEWISH NATION IN THE DESERT, ACCORDING TO RABBINICAL SCHOLAR MOSHE PINCHUK OF ISRAEL. B) RABBINICAL SCHOLARS STATE: WHEN THE SUN IS ECLIPSED; IT MEANS JUDGMENT FOR THE NATIONS. WHEN THE MOON IS ECLIPSED...IT IS A SIGN OF GOD'S JUDGMENT TO THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL. JESUS SAID: "BUT IN THE LAST DAYS, THE SUN SHALL BE DARKENED (ECLIPSE) AND THE MOON SHALL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT." (MARK 13:24-26)

5 4 III. WHICH GENTILE NATIONS IS GOD WARNING IN THIS COMING ECLIPSE OF THE SUN IN THE HEAVENS? THE ECLIPSE OF THE SUN IS A SIGNAL JUDGMENT IS COMING TO GENTILE NATIONS. THE PROPHET EZEKIEL IN CHAPTER 38 MAKES IT VERY CLEAR WHICH GENTILE NATIONS ARE ON GOD'S HIT LIST! REMEMBER: THE ECLIPSED SUN REFERS TO GENTILE NATIONS. THE MESSAGE OF THE 4 MOONS RELATES TO ISRAEL. MESSAGE TO ISRAEL: AS I DELIVERED YOU FROM PHARAOH WHEN YOU WERE IN EGYPT'S BONDAGE...I'M GOING TO DELIVER YOU FROM THOSE WHO OPPRESS YOU. BIBLE: "HE THAT KEEPETH ISRAEL (GUARDS) NEITHER SLUMBERS NOR SLEEPS." GOD'S ALL-SEEING EYE IS ON ISRAEL...HIS COVENANT LAND...

6 5 IV. WHEN WILL THIS HAPPEN? RABBI RADAR (CELEBRATED SCHOLAR OF THE JEWISH ART SCHROLLS) STATES, "THESE SIGNS (JOEL 2:30-31) WILL ANNOUNCE THE DESTRUCTION OF THOSE NATIONS WHO JOIN WITH GOG AND MAGOG IN ATTACKING JERUSALEM." JOEL THEN DECLARES HOPE FOR ALL OF ISRAEL: "AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS THAT WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED...LITERALLY... 'PHYSICALLY SPARED.' FOR IN MOUNT ZION (TEMPLE MOUNT) AND IN JERUSALEM THERE SHALL BE DELIVERANCE." FACT: THE NATION OF ISRAEL, THOSE WHO TURN TO THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB WILL BE SPARED. ISRAEL WILL PREVAIL! V. EZEKIEL'S GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF THE GOG-MAGOG WAR. LET'S BEGIN WITH TODAY...HOW DO I SEE THE PROGRESSION FROM NOW UNTIL THE GOG-MAGOG WAR?

7 6 A) ISRAEL (ALONE OR ASSISTED) WILL CRIPPLE IRAN'S NUCLEAR ABILITY. THIS ATTACK WILL UNIFY THE RABIDLY ANTI-ISRAEL ARAB WORLD WHO WILL JOIN FORCES WITH RUSSIA TO INVADE ISRAEL BY LAND. EZEKIEL DESCRIBES AN ISLAMIC RUSSIAN ARMY WITH MILLIONS WHO WILL MARCH TO WAR IN AN EFFORT TO CAPTURE JERUSALEM. "IT WILL BE LIKE A CLOUD TO COVER THE LAND." LET'S PICK THE STORY UP THERE FROM THE PEN OF EZEKIEL...CHAPTER 38:2. B) "SON OF MAN (EZEKIEL) SET YOUR FACE AGAINST GOG, OF THE LAND OF MAGOG, THE PRINCE OF ROSH (RUSSIA), MESHECH (MOSCOW) AND TUBAL (AN ANCIENT CITY OF RUSSIA) AND PROPHECY AGAINST HIM." EZEKIEL IS BEING TOLD BY GOD TO DELIVER A DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST A MAN...AND HIS KINGDOM. THE MAN = GOG

8 7 HIS KINGDOM = MAGOG WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? TURN TO GEN. 10:2..."THE SONS OF JAPHETH WERE GOMER, MAGOG, TUBAL, MESHECH. FACT: ETHNOLOGISTS HAVE TRACED THE JAPETHITES, AFTER THE FLOOD OF NOAH FROM ASIA MINOR AND BEYOND THE BLACK SEA TO RUSSIA. (EZEKIEL 38:15 STATES "YOU WILL COME FROM YOUR PLACE OUT OF THE FAR NORTH.") EZEKIEL 38:5 GIVES GOD'S HIT LIST OF THE NATIONS HE WILL DESTROY WHO COME TO INVADE ISRAEL. * PERSIA = IRAN * ETHIOPIA = ARAB NATIONS OF THE ARAB SPRING * LIBYA *GOMER = GERMANY *TOGARMAH = TURKEY EZEKIEL 38:7, GOD LABELS RUSSIA AS THE LEADER... "BE A GUARD UNTO THEM." (COMMANDER) THIS SCRIPTURE SUGGESTS THAT AMERICA HAS LOST ITS SUPER POWER STATUS AND RUSSIA AND IRAN ARE NOT AFRAID TO ATTACK ISRAEL AS AMERICA WATCHES W/O

9 8 RESPONDING. OUR FRIENDS NO LONGER TRUST US AND OUR ENEMIES NO LONGER FEAR US. VI. EZEKIEL'S PROPHECY OF THE COMING CONFLICT IN ISRAEL WITH IRAN WITH RUSSIA AS THEIR MILITARY COMMANDER IS VIVIDLY DESCRIBED BY EZEKIEL IN EZEKIEL 38:10, "ON THAT DAY IT SHALL COME TO PASS, YOU (RUSSIA-IRAN INVADING FORCE) WILL MAKE AN EVIL THOUGHT." (CAPTURE JERUSALEM) EZEKIEL 38:13, "SHEBA AND DEDAN (YEMEN AND SAUDI ARABIA) THE MERCHANTS OF TARSHISH (GREAT BRITAIN) AND ALL THE YOUNG LIONS (AMERICA) WILL SAY TO THIS MASSIVE RUSSIAN-IRANIAN MILITARY MONSTER MACHINE, 'HAVE YOU COME TO TAKE A PLUNDER?'" EZEKIEL 38:18-19, "MY FURY (RAGE) WILL SHOW IN MY FACE, FOR IN MY JEALOUSY AND IN THE FIRE OF MY WRATH I HAVE SPOKEN..." GOD ALMIGHTY WILL GO TO WAR FOR ISRAEL! GOD WHO IS MERCIFUL AND MIGHTY SAYS, "ENOUGH." * I'M FURIOUS WITH THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL.

10 9 LISTEN TO EZEKIEL 39:2, "AND I WILL TURN YOU BACK (ISLAMIC ARMIES) AND LEAVE BUT A SIXTH PART OF THEE..." (KJV) POINT: THE KING OF THE NORTH (RUSSIA) IS CRUSHED! THE KING OF THE SOUTH (RADICAL ISLAM) IS DEFEATED BY THE HAND OF GOD. HOW WILL GOD DESTROY THIS ARMY OF MILLIONS? 1) EZEKIEL 38:19, "A GREAT EARTHQUAKE..." (MOSES) 2) EZEKIEL 38:21, "FRIENDLY FIRE..." EVERY MAN'S SWORD WILL BE AGAINST HIS BROTHER. 3) EZEKIEL 38:22, "HAILSTONES..." IN THE O.T. SINNERS WERE STONED TO DEATH. GOD HIMSELF IS GOING TO STONE THOSE INVADING ARMIES. WHY? (EZEK. 39:7) "SO I WILL MAKE MY HOLY NAME KNOWN IN THE MIDST OF MY PEOPLE ISRAEL...THE HEATHEN (GENTILES) SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL."

11 10 LISTEN TO GOD'S MESSAGE TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN THE CLOSING STANZA'S OF EZEK V. 22, "SO THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL (JEWISH PEOPLE) SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD THEIR GOD FROM THAT DAY FORWARD." V. 25, "THUS SAITH THE LORD...I WILL HAVE MERCY UPON THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WILL BE JEALOUS FOR MY HOLY NAME. WHAT IS GOD'S FUTURE PLAN FOR ISRAEL? MERCY! TO DEFEND YOU...ISRAEL, YOU ARE NOT ALONE... GOD IS WITH YOU! V. 29, "NEITHER WILL I HIDE MY FACE ANYMORE FROM THEM FOR I HAVE POURED OUT MY SPIRIT ON THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL." WHY IS THIS MESSAGE IMPORTANT TO OUR JEWISH FRIENDS? THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL HAS SWORN TO DEFEND ISRAEL. WHEN YOU SEE THIS BATTLE APPROACHING... DO NOT FEAR... THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB IS WITH YOU...YOU ARE STILL THE APPLE OF GOD'S EYE...YOU ARE

12 STILL THE CHOSEN PEOPLE! GOD HIMSELF WILL ANNIHILATE YOUR ENEMIES. 11 WHEN WILL THE GOG-MAGOG WAR HAPPEN? 1) JEWISH SCHOLARS SAY JOEL 2:30-31 WHERE THE FOUR BLOOD MOONS APPEAR WITH THE SUN ECLIPSE IS THE GOG- MAGOG WAR. 2) IT'S POSSIBLE WE COULD SEE THE GOG-MAGOG WAR BEFORE THE RAPTURE. WHY? "NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY NOR THE HOUR OF THE RAPTURE." THE RAPTURE COULD HAPPEN TODAY...OR AFTER THE GOG- MAGOG WAR...THE RAPTURE WILL HAPPEN BEFORE THE ANTI- CHRIST COMES TO POWER. THE CHURCH DOES NOT GO THROUGH THE TRIBULATION. WHY IS THIS MESSAGE IMPORTANT TO CHRISTIANS? CONSIDER THE POSSIBLE SCENARIO FOR THE FUTURE? 1) IRAN WILL BECOME NUCLEAR UNLESS STOPPED BY MILITARY FORCE! IF ISRAEL HITS IRAN'S NUCLEAR CENTERS...THIS ACTION WILL UNITE RUSSIA...IRAN...

13 SYRIA...LIBYA...EGYPT, ETC. TO RETALIATE FOR A LAND INVASION OF ISRAEL. 12 WE ARE SEEING THE RAGE AND UNITY OF ISLAMIC NATIONS AGAINST AMERICA AND ISRAEL NOW ON T.V. WE ARE SEEING THE FIRST STAGES OF THE GOG-MAGOG WAR COME TOGETHER! 2) IN THE FUTURE...THE RUSSIAN LED COALITION OF RADICAL ISLAMIC ARMIES WILL MARCH ON ISRAEL... AND THE MOMENT THEIR FEET TOUCH ISRAEL'S SOIL... GOD IN HIS RIGHTEOUS RAGE WILL WIPE 84% OF THAT INVADING ARMY OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. 3) THE JEWISH PEOPLE WILL BE RECONCILED TO THE GOD OF ABRAHAM ISAAC AND JACOB (EZEKIEL 39: :25-28) 4) ALL THE RIGHTEOUS JEWS OF THE WORLD WILL RETURN TO ISRAEL (EZEKIEL 39:25-29) AND GOD WILL POUR OUT HIS SPIRIT ON THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.

14 13 5) ISRAEL WILL BURY THE BODIES OF THE INVADERS FOR SEVEN MONTHS (EZEKIEL 39:12). 6) ISRAEL WILL BURN THE WEAPONS ABANDONED BY THE INVADERS FOR 7 YEARS (EZEKIEL 39:9). 7) THIS DISPLAY OF GOD'S AWESOME POWER WILL SERVE AS HIS FINAL WARNING TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD THAT WE ARE LIVING IN THE FINAL SECONDS OF THE LAST DAYS. 9) CHURCH...THE NATIONS OF GOG-MAGOG ARE ALL UNITED RIGHT NOW! THE MESSAGE OF THE FOURTH BLOOD MOONS IS THIS...GOD IS GOING TO DEFEND ISRAEL AND IN HIS TIME, HE IS GOING TO DESTROY EVERY NATION THAT INVADES ISRAEL.
