Rare Blood Moon To Signal The End Of The World?

Some Christians believe the 'Tetrad', the appearance of four 'blood-red moons' in the skies, means the end of days is nigh.

The end of the world could be upon us if some religious premonitions are to be believed.

This week sees the beginning of a cosmic phenomenon which some Christians have linked to the end of days.

A 'Tetrad' sees four "dark blood-red moons" appear in the skies and is a precursor to "hugely significant events" say experts.

Pastor John Magee, who has written a book on the subject, said: "This is not something that some religious think tank has put together.  

NASA has confirmed that the Tetrad has only happened three times in more than 500 years — and that it's going to happen now."

On each of those occasions a religiously significant event has occurred.

The first Tetrad of those, in 1493, saw the expulsion of Jews by the Catholic Spanish Inquisition, while the second, in 1949, saw the creation of the state of Israel after years of confrontation and struggle.

The Six-Day Arab-Israeli War marked the third, in 1967 - far earlier than had been expected.

The first of four-consecutive "blood-red lunar eclipses" followed by six full moons is set for this week, and will climax on September 28 next year.

A NASA spokesman said: "This is the first eclipse of the year and is well placed for observers throughout the Western Hemisphere.

It will occur at the lunar orbit's ascending node in Virgo. This is the first of four consecutive total lunar eclipses in 2014 and 2015 - a series known as a Tetrad."

If the Bible is to believed then the Tetrad could even signal the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Joel 2:31 says: "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord comes."
