Dear Rick Wiles & Fellow Watchers:I listened to part of your interview with Pastor Mark, especially the part where you tried to weave Mark's findings in with the war & economic cycles extracted from other theories; perhaps expounded upon from other guests. I would like to respectfully point out that these tetrads in the past had everything to do with Israel or the Jewish population and there is very little or even no historical precedence for ascribing world wide calamities to these astronomical phenomena.From the 2nd link above it can be clearly seen that:
- "The Tetrad of 1493 through 1494 - Tied to the repulsion of the Jews from Spain during the Spanish Inquisition."
- "The Tetrad of 1949 through 1950 - Tied to the rebirth of the nation of Israel. Declared May 14, 1948."
- "The Tetrad of 1967 - 1968 - Tied to the 6th day war where Israel took Jerusalem."
As you can see, the indication is that Israel will once again extend her borders during the time of the 2014-2015 Tetrad. Any other interpretation could be cause for a distortion or worse, fear mongering for this event horizon.Pineman
