Blood Moons and Passover/Feast of Tabernacles

Post Reply New Topic

I *thought* I made a post about this but never found it - guessing it might have been run out by a forum busy dignal.

I remembered hearing about Israel and the blood moons and discussion about blood moons during 2014 and 2015 on both of these days. Seems like this cluster has happened before and it happened right around the time of the Yom Kippur war. Lots of people of course are date setting and making wild predictions about Damascus being flattened, fulfillments of Isaiah, and 'tribulation now' type stuff - all of which I doubt but a lot of which rouses my curiosity about just how often blood moons seem to fall on these dates.

What I'm starting to wonder about, being this isn't something that would be affected by procession of the equinox, is whether this effect was built into the origins of the Hebrew calendar (ie. the days of these feasts came from observation of the blood moons). I know that the Old Testament is loaded with astrological import, many speculate it to have been originally written in the Babylonian captivity (some going as far as suggesting Cyrus the Great and Ezra teaming up for the same kind of nation building that we were doing in Iraq with the add in of a national pride/religious document), same culture known for the seven day week, twelve signs of the zodiac, Sumerian creation story, etc. while other stuff does seem to be more specifically Egyptian wisdom like arc building or the ten commandments.

A lot of this makes me wonder also, if we really search the OT from top to bottom (aside from the more obvious stuff like four faces of the cherubim and the 7's, 12's, and 19 vs. 360 thing) how much more Chaldean/Babylonian astrology we'll find and how much of the real historical narrative or idea sources will open up. When considering the blunt amount of this stuff it seems a bit like epic stories of figures largely representing astrological data and rolled out with enough art to rival the Iliad or Odyssey. I remember reading that the Egyptians were very big on weaving myth into their reality - less from the standpoint of any blunt ignorance but realizing the psychological and energetic power it held. Certain things still get me as well, such as how people still to this day believe that a lot can be gotten out of performing gematria, notarikon, and teruma on the Torah. Whoever wrote it really knew what they were doing, and it seems evident in just how much various Hermetic Rosicrucian and Martinist groups recycle it's symbolism in their magic and theurgy.

It's a topic that still fascinates me because in the west - this is our story. It's our Upanishads, it's our Bhagaivad Gita. Similarly it seems like a lot of the best stuff from antiquity is bound up in it for those with eyes to see and ears to hear as they say.

Interestingly I do believe that it is a work written by God, just that I might differ in what I mean by that from what many mainline Christians would have in mind. Similarly it would be interesting to see if some kind of major skirmish does happen with Israel either this year or next year. For the sake of loss of lives I dearly hope not but whether by globalists, by divine plan, by raw creative power of a 'true myth' or even intensity of the astrological import for those who believe in that kind of thing, for all I know there could be a bit of a cultural system-clock in that part of the world. David Flynn's Temple at the Center of Time had some fascinating suggestions and when one does research and finds out just how much the ancients knew it's easy to wonder also if we aren't still in a vogue state of throwing babies out with bathwater when it comes to these angles of human knowledge.
