"Get ready to feast your eyes on an extra special and rare total lunar eclipse Saturday morning that has some Christians worried this Easter weekend.
For the third time in less than a year, the moon will dip into Earth’s shadow, turning its bright white globe a deep coppery-red in a matter of minutes.
The action begins at 3:16 a.m. PDT on the morning of April 4 when the edge of the moon first enters the amber core of Earth’s shadow.
For the next hour and 45 minutes, Earth’s shadow will move across the lunar disk, ultimately covering the entire moon at 4:58 a.m. PDT.
The total phase of the lunar eclipse will only last about 5 minutes, making it the shortest lunar eclipse of the century on the morning of Easter Vigil, traditionally observed as the period between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The eclipse also falls within the first night of Passover, observed by Jews worldwide beginning Friday at sunset.
Some Christians believe the blood moon lunar eclipse tetrad could be connected to Jesus’ return — or signify a world-changing event about to take place.
According to the King James Bible, “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord comes,” (Joel 2:31).
Regardless of your religious beliefs, it will be a breathtaking spectacle you’ll want to wake up early to see. Just make sure to be outside no later than 4:58 a.m. PDT to watch the transition." CBS
COMMENTARY: Christian "Nonsense"
First off, ...... there is NO Biblical significance to this blood moon.... the moon turning to blood will be miraculous-NOT a predictable lunar event. WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOME CHRISTIANS??
Second, ....Sure, it's cool that this "Easter" weekend falls on the actual anniversary.... this "Good Friday" is actually on the date of the Passover---so this Sunday will be on the real anniversary of Easter....but GOD doesn't use holidays--with pagan roots--to send Biblical prophetic messages....
