Was the blood moon experience a disappointment?

[Brighten04]

I rather get the impression there's mixed ideas going on here.

If we start from the original premise that the blood moon was significant it's not unreasonable to expect the person making the claim to demonstrate why they believe it to be significant. In that context "I don't know" is pretty lame - the two statements combine to form "this event is significant but I can't say how or why", which is clearly a lame position that has nothing to defend against the counter-claim that "this event is not significant".

When other people join in the discussion it's not as unreasonable for them to say "I believe it may be significant but as yet don't know how or why, but based on historical precedence signs in the heavens like this have usually been significant so it's not unreasonable to believe this one may also be significant". There may still be no particular substance to the claim that this specific event is significant but at least there is some evidence of thought, a previous pattern, etc.

Watching is good but without an idea of what we are watching for it just becomes another vague spiritual-sounding meme that has no substance. Are we watching for angels in the sky, demons emerging from the ground, churches to be filled, churches to be abandoned, Christians to be persecuted by governments, Christians to be sidelined by businesses, some other faith to rise suddenly in power, what exactly? The watchman on the city wall would be watching for specific threats - they would know not to sound the alarm because a jackal walked past or the clouds drifted in front of the moon. Unless we know what we are watching for all that's going to happen is that we're going to get very jumpy, justifying it all under the banner of "we're watching".

I wonder if you read the conversation or did you just start at my I don't know. If you read it again, I think you will understand my I don't know. Since I think you understand the language you will see that your comment here has little merit.

Who said it is world wide? All you need is an event that effect the way of the world. For example, the seven day war was in Israel, not the world, but does it effect the world we know,YES.

A war will inevitably affect areas around the most obviously affected areas. A shadow passing across the ground, maybe less so.

Another fascinating event in the heavens... www.timesofisrael.com/as-planets-align-some-see-return-of-jesus-star-of-bethlehem/

Interesting, I wanted to see this but it israining will try again tomorrow morning

I got distracted by the other thread. It is interesting that they think this conjunction may have been the Star of Bethlehem. I don't. I believe the Star of Bethlehem was a singular event.But this is rather very interesting.

Let’s talk about earthquake swarma. All over the planet, seismic activity seems to be increasing. According to Volcano Discovery, dozens of volcanoes around the world have recently erupted. We have India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan hit by a massive 7.5-magnitude quake. It was one of the worst earthquakes that Afghanistan has ever seen, and it is going to take months to deal with all of the damage.

Closer to home we have a record breaking earthquake activity just outside of San Francisco. San Ramon, California, appears to have broken a new earthquake record over the last two weeks: A total of 408 small quakes have shaken the East Bay city, almost four times the record set in 2003 in half the amount of time. The state of California has been seeing a lot of disasters lately. In late September, tremendous wildfires in the state were making headlines all over the planet. In fact, Barack Obama formally declared the Valley Fire to be a “major disaster”, and federal funding was released to help fight it. The following is from an NBC News article that was posted on September 23rd. President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster for the fourth most destructive wildfire in California’s history, a blaze that has forced some 12,000 people to evacuate their homes and caused at least three deaths. Obama signed the declaration Tuesday to release federal funding to help with the Valley Fire, which has been burning north of San Francisco since September 12.

This has been an exceptionally bad year for wildfires nationally. According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the only time when more acres had burned up to this point in the year was in 2006. And the truth is that we are just barely behind 2006’s record pace. More fires are still burning right now, and by the time it is all said and done I expect that 2015 will end up surpassing 2006 and will be the worst year for wildfires that we have ever seen. I mentioned once that we could have lost 1/3 of the world trees, but someone said how do you know. He is right. We had no record of a start amount in order to know when we have hit the 1/3 left mark. I just think that the decreased volume since I was young indicates, we are at a new low level of forests.

This last blood moon was also a super moon, meaning it's elliptical orbit brought it closer to the Earth. We know that the moon affects the Earth in various ways.I know that some will say that these earthquakes and tidal waves and volcanoes were not related, but I think all of these are related to the blood moon. Remember The East coast of the U.S. had a major flood event, and it was happening before Hurricane Joaquin. There was flooding from the high tide.Even now Charleston South Carolina is flooding from what is called a King Tide. And when the rain comes from Hurricane Patricia to add to the flood waters, there will be greater devastation. And they have not recovered from last months inundations .

Perhaps you could elaborate on what you're trying to say here rather than merely suggesting I'll see my comment has little merit (hint: if I thought it had little merit I wouldn't have taken the time to write it).

Yeah, a small spring did that almost over night.... :thumbsdown:

I don't think that link has anything to do with the topic.

Maybe not, but, it could be. I really cannot see how a little spring could cause such a rift in the Earth like that. But a super moon could possibly affect the Earth in such a way methinks.

A big crack in Wyoming isn't related to blood moons and how one feels about the most recent one and if one's dominant feeling is disappointment and since the thread's topic is "Was the blood moon experience a disappointment?" I reckon blood moons are the main idea in the thread.

By the way, a "super moon" happens about once every month even though it is not called a "super moon" by the press most times when it happens. All a "super moon" is, gravitationally and visually speaking, is the moon being at its closet point to the Earth in its orbit of the Earth. Since the moon orbits the Earth every month it of necessity will be at its closest point to the Earth every month at roughly the same "time" in its orbit. The moon looks bigger when it is closer to the Earth and it looks smaller when it is further from the Earth.

Well, according to sources at Space.com, this one was a rare one. I think they know what they are talking about.

Supermoon Lunar Eclipse 2015: Full 'Blood Moon' Coverage
by SPACE.com Staff | September 28, 2015 02:26am ET

The moon passed through Earth's shadow on Sunday, Sept. 27, in a dazzling total lunar eclipse during a perigee full moon, better known as a "supermoon." ic 'supermoon' blood moon on Sept. 27, 2015.
Supermoons occur when the moon reaches its full phase at or near the satellite's closest approach to Earth, and appears abnormally large and bright as a result. The Sept. 27 event is quite special; the last supermoon eclipse occurred in 1982, and the next won't take place until 2033.

Good find!!!

Ever seen the earth "breath"?

LOL!:lol: Wow!

You know some while ago, I heard someone preach about the birth pangs of the Earth. He said you could liken all of the floods we are seeing to a woman's water breaking just before labor begins.

 

[psalms 91]

Interesting as I believe the earth is birthing forth

 

[Hammster]

So, do we know what the big event is, or are we still pouring over newspapers trying to come up with something?

Or perhaps hoping folks have forgotten about this.
