And God said, Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from
the night; and let them be for signs, and for
seasons, and for days, and years. Gen 1:14

Psalms 19:1 - 6 (KJV)
The heavens declare the glory of God; and
the firmament showeth his handywork. Day
unto day uttereth speech, and night unto
night showeth knowledge. There is no
speech nor language, where their voice is not
heard. Their line is gone out through all the
earth, and their words to the end of the
world.
Biblical Astronomy verses Astrology
In English, star constellations, or pictures in the night sky, are often known as
“Signs of the Zodiac. However, the constellations do not come from astrology.
Hebrew astronomy predates both the Greek and Roman eras. In Hebrew the
constellations are known as "the Mazzeroth", and were placed in the heavens by
God Himself.
Job 38:31; Isaiah 13:10; Amos 5:8.
Before the Bible was put into writing, God placed the stars to tell the Gospel plan of
redemption. God’s message in the stars is where the book of creation speaks to
man of God's awesome power. It is His story.
All of the following images are calculations of real astronomical events. To perform
the calculations I used Starry Night Pro and some data from the NASA website.
Both are based on Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion.
Job 38:31 - 33 (RSV)
Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, or
loose the cords of Orion? Can you lead
forth the Mazzaroth in their season, or can
you guide the Bear with its children? Do
you know the ordinances of the
heavens? Can you establish their rule on
the earth?

Tetrad
- A celestial tetrad is a set of four sequential lunar eclipses.
Occasionally these all fall on Jewish holidays.
- There have been 7 of these events in the past 2000 years.
-There is one coming up in 2014/2015.
- There will be a series of 7 solar eclipses this decade.
- And 3 sets of lunar eclipses.
Tetrad Cycle
The occurrence of 4 total lunar eclipses in a row is called a Tetrad. Italian
astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli (1835-1910), who is most famous for his work in
mapping the planet Mars, discovered the Tetrad eclipse cycle. Schiaparelli found
that during a period of about three centuries, Tetrads can occur frequently,
followed by another 300 years of no occurrence. In his retirement Schiaparelli
studied the astronomy of the ancient Hebrews and Babylonians and wrote
L’astronomia nell’antico testamento (1903; Astronomy in the Old Testament,
1905).
In 2008, Pastor Mark Blitz of El Shaddai Ministries announced the
discovery of Tetrad occurrences on the Jewish Holidays of Passover and Feast of
Trumpets, shortly after the rebirth of Israel in 1949-1950, and again in 1967-1968
during the 6 Day War and recapture of Jerusalem. Pastor Blitz has
also discovered a future Tetrad Eclipse sequence will recur on the Jewish
Passover and Feast of Trumpets Holidays in 2014-2015. The Jewish Holiday
Tetrad eclipse cycle is a rare phenomena, which prior to 1948, had not happened
in over 500 years, and will not occur again until the next century.

First of 7 Tetrads
These tetrads (Sequences of four Lunar Eclipses) are each associated with
Jewish Holidays. There have been 7 of these events in the past 2000
years. Each coincides with a period of persecution.
There is one more in 2014-2015
During this decade, there is a pattern of 7 solar eclipses; and 3 sets of lunar
eclipses: the “Ox Sequence,” the “Last Tetrad,” and the “Crab Sequence.”
Upcoming celestial events correspond with the Biblical timeline according to Revelation.
Luke 21:25 (NKJV)
And there shall be signs in the
sun, and in the moon, and in the
stars

Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed

that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore
art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like
him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the
winepress alone; and of the people there was none
with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and
trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be
sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my
raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart,
and the year of my redeemed is come.

is a natural fortress city covering
over 25 square miles. In addition
to natural caverns, it contains
thousands of dwellings built in to
solid rock.

The Crab event is particularly interesting in that all three seem centered on
Jerusalem. The first rising, the second overhead (mars “the red one” in
opposition “closest to the Earth”), and the third setting.
The Hebrew names of the stars indicate redemption, the multitude (the
cloud), the hiding place, the sheep fold.
All three eclipses of this sequence fall on Jewish holidays the first and the
last are on Tu Bishvat (New year of trees). This holiday represents the end
of a three to four year period when fruit may be taken from a newly planted
tree. The “fig tree” Israel has been redeemed. The one in the middle is the
Sabbath of Consolation and Tu B’Av!
Sabbath of Consolation
July-27-2018, 15th of Av -5778
Shabbat Nachamu - Friday July 27th, 2018 - means "Sabbath of Consolation."
These readings are meant to console us after the destruction of the Temple and
reassure us that it will be built again.
49 days (7weeks) later is Shabbat Shuvah Friday September 14th, 2018 literally
means "Sabbath of Return," It is the Shabbat that occurs between Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur and is a time for reflection leading up to the
atonement of Yom Kippur.
Shabbat Shuvah ("Sabbath of Return") refers to the Shabbat that occurs during
the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The
Jewish calendar is so designed that only one Shabbat can occur between these
dates. This Shabbat is named after the first word of the Haftarah (Hosea 14:2-10)
and literally means "Return!"
Tu B’AV
July-27-2018, 15th of Av -5778
•Tu B'Av (the fifteenth of the month Av)
•The 15th of Av was a popular during the Second Temple.
•Today there are no special religious customs.
•According to the Talmud, Tu B'Av was a joyous holiday in
the days of the Temple in Jerusalem: Unmarried girls would
dress in simple white clothing (so that rich could not be
distinguished from poor) and go out to sing and dance in
the vineyards surrounding Jerusalem and the young men
who had not yet married would go to watch and choose
among them wives for themselves.
Solar Sequence
• The Lunar eclipses seem to deal with
events directly related to Israel.
• The Solar Eclipses interwoven in the
timeline seem to deal with world events.

open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” Rev 5:5

Luke 21:29-34
Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the
trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for
yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see
these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is
near. Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass
away till all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but
My words will by no means pass away. “But take heed to
yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing,
drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you
unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on
the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that
you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will
come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
An Interesting Pattern…
Dates of celestial events surrounding
Tu B’Av, July 27 2018, line up in a
symmetry of seven events.
-870 -340 -177 | +177 +340 +870
These are things which we can observe and consider as testimony of the Creator in
the General Revelation of His creation. However our faith in a just and merciful God
rests in His Special Revelation, the Scriptures. These bear witness of His Gospel,
which is the greatest message to a fallen world, and to this I recommend your
primary attention.
Disclaimer: Anyone with a computer and celestial software can perform these
calculations. I used Starry Night Pro Plus, the NASA website, and the historical
Jewish Holidays from two websites. Personally I consider these signs in the heavens
as a pattern awaiting confirming events. If you see confirming events you might
consider them, if there are no confirming events I recommend rejecting them as
mere coincidence and speculation.

Luke 21:25 These Things
• And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the
moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth
distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and
the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them
for fear, and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth: for the powers
of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they
see the Son of man coming in a cloud with
power and great glory. And when these things
begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up
your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
A hope restored
Micah 7
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the
grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first
ripe fruit. The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright
among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a
net. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the
judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire:
so they wrap it up. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a
thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be
their perplexity. Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the
doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. For the son dishonoureth the
father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her
mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God
of my salvation: my God will hear me. Rejoice not against
me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in
darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.
