"Fear God, Love God, Serve God": "Passover And Blood Moon"

"There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations,

in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear

and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world;

for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.…"

(Luke 21:25-26)

PASSOVER

It was the plan that started at Passover way back when the children of Israel wanted and needed freedom from bondage, deliverance from Egyptian rule, and they needed to worship their God. Enter: The Passover lamb, a spotless lamb to be slain and its blood applied to the left, to the right, and above the doorposts ... the sign of the cross ... to keep the death angel, who was sent out to kill the firstborn of all living, but when the angel saw the blood, the angel passed over ... and the Israelites were spared.

It was the type, shadow and script of "The Lamb" that rode into town on a borrowed colt, and one week later was nailed to a cross and died ... The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world ...

It's all about the The Lamb and it's all about the Blood. Without the shedding of blood, there can be no forgiveness of sin. "And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." (Hebrews 9:22) The blood of the slain lamb protected and delivered the Israelites for one night, but the Blood of the slain Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, protects and delivers ALL mankind forever! Thank You, Lord Jesus!

Why did He do it? Why did Jesus Christ willingly give His beaten flesh, His sinless blood, and His life on the cross? The old testament's killing of animals and the blood on the altar only covered the people's sins for a time, and every time they sinned they had to bring an animal, a turtle dove, a bullock to be sacrificed to cover their sins once again. When the Lord Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, died on the cross and shed His blood; it was for the sins of the whole world for all of eternity.

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood:
and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls:
for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."

(Leviticus 17:11)

The Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ, made the atonement, with His shed blood, once and for all ... "It Is Finished." But, He didn't just die; He conquered death, Hell, and the grave; He rose again; He IS ALIVE!

That's why we worship Him; that's why we lift Him up; that's why we kneel at His feet; that's why we shout praises to His name; that's why we dance before Him; that's why ... that's why!

The triumphant end is yet to come! The Lord Jesus Christ will catch away His Bride in the air before that great and terrible tribulation period, when the earth will be judged ....

THE BLOOD MOON

The first blood moon will be on Passover, April 15, 2014, another one this year, and two following in 2015. Why is this happening, and why on Passover? God is trying to get earth's attention; He is sending us a signal and big events are coming. We are at the end of the Church Age, and about to begin the most horrific time the earth has ever encountered ... The Tribulation period, when those "left behind" after the Rapture of the Church, will be judged. Profound events often occur during God's holy days, and are connected with Israel.

It is time to "look up;" it's time to get ready; it's time to be oiled, filled, and sealed, it's time to obey Acts 2:38; it's time to make our calling and election sure! It's time!
