BLOOD MOON SEEN IN SKIES OVER ISRAEL ON
FIRST NIGHT OF SUKKOT
While thousands of Israelis were
sleeping in their sukkot (temporary booths) on the first
night of the seven day Sukkot festival, the long
anticipated "blood moon" eclipse could be witnessed in
the skies overhead. This photo was taken of the blood
moon in the skies over Israel.
Comment by Cheryl Mavrikos I also found it quite "unusual" that the totality of the eclipse lasted
for well over an hour and a half, if not longer...far
longer than any total lunar eclipse that I ever
observed. It seemed as if time stood still. And I
wonder, if Hashem stopped the moon in its orbit, would
we know? He controls time and space, and His miracles
are so vast that we can barely comprehend them.

Blood Moon Over Jerusalem
This past Sunday/Monday-morning thousand
around Israel got out of bed earl morning (about 4:30 am
to 5:50 am) to witness the much talked about final "Blood
Moon" of the tetrad which has just ended. I awoke about 5
am and as I sighted the moon for the first time off of my
bacony in Jerusalem the word "ominous" came into my spirit. That is a word I have
never used in my almost 65 years of life. I actually came
into the house later on and looked up the meaning of this
word which entered my mind and spirit. The difinition of
the word "ominous is: "giving the impression that
something bad or unpleasant is going to happen;
threatening; inauspicious".
After hearing that word I began to ponder a
word that was spoken earlier at a worship gathering we had
at the "Apple of His Eye" Prayer House where Linda and I
live in Jerusalem. A prophetic pastor from Chile was with
us (about 35 people from the nations) as we worshiped to
bring in the beginning of this "appointed Time" of The
Lord called Tabernacles (Succot). About an hour into our
time of worship this pastor was in great travail and
weeping and it was very obvious the hand of the Lord was
upon him. He later shared with us what he was hearing in
the spirit. "As the Moon comes forth as Blood Red, so
shall the streets of Jerusalem be filled with blood in the
near
future"
Please pray, Oh Lord in the midst of judgement remember
mercy.
From the prophet Habukkuk we see these words:
O LORD, I have heard thy speech, [and] was afraid: O LORD,
revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of
the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. Hab 3:2
But thank God we know His plan is for good.
Even though there is coming a time of judgement, the
Lord's objective is not to destroy but to discipline and
turn to righteousness those who will respond to Him. With
my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my
spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy
judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world
will learn righteousness. Isa 26:9
Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that
I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and
not of evil, to give you an expected end.
With these scriptures in mind there was a
reminder of God's faithfulness as on the morning before
the blood moon This Wedding Dress apeared at the entrance
to the Jaffa Gate of The Old City of Jerusalem (above the
gate)
But thank You Lord for Your promises to
Your people Israel:
"Turn,
O backsliding sons, says Jehovah; for I am married
to you; and I will take you one from a city, and two
from a family, and I will bring you to
Zion. And I will give you shepherds
according to My heart, who shall feed you with
knowledge and understanding. And it will be
when you have multiplied and increased in the land,
in those days, says Jehovah, they shall say no more,
The ark of the covenant of Jehovah! Nor shall it
come to mind; nor shall they remember it; nor shall
they visit it; nor shall it be made any
more. At that time they shall call Jerusalem
the throne of Jehovah; and all nations shall be
gathered to it, to the name of Jehovah, to
Jerusalem. Nor shall they walk any more after the
stubbornness of their evil heart. In those days
the house of Judah shall walk with the house of
Israel, and they shall come together out of the land
of the north to the land that I have given for an
inheritance to your fathers. Jer
3:14 -18
Pray for us here in Israel and
for all that are yet to return to the Land and to their
Husband The Lord. The time to purify the Lord is at hand
and she will arise spotless and pure before Him. I for
one do not just want to be a part of the invited
"guests" but I want to be a part of this glorious Bride.
Are you making yourself ready? Do we know what it is the
King desires? And are we pursuing this purification
unto righteousness? This message I think is very
much worth the listen to see what
is necessary for to make the Bride ready.

This wedding dress hanging from David's
Citadel in Jerusalem was created as a piece of modern art
by local artist Motti Mizrachi. The dress was inspired by
the famous poem about the Land of Israel, "Oh Land, My
Land" (Adamah Admati). The poem declares: "I betrothed you
with blood that grew red and fell silent" referring to the
murder of the Jewish leader Alexander Zaïd at the hand of
Arabs in 1938. Christian pilgrims coming for the 2015
Sukkot celebrations have interpreted the dress as a
prophetic sign of the "Bride of Christ" awaiting the
Second Coming of Jesus. An interesting twist to the story is that
Zaïd, the subject of the poem and the inspiration for the
dress, was the son of a Jewish father and Subbotnik
mother. Subbotniks were Sabbath-keeping non-Jews in the
Russian Empire, most of whose descendants have made Aliyah
to Israel.
