Joel 2:31 - Signs in the Heaven & Jewish Feasts in 2015

Recently I attended a conference where Paul Keith Davis spoke.  I always appreciate hearing other prophetic voices that reinforce what God has been showing me.  I confess, on one hand it is very encouraging but on the other, it also frustrates me because I wonder, "why do so few seem to see or hear?"  Lord, am I not communicating well?  What can I do to make it easier for people to hear what you are saying?  Back to the point of this article.

Paul Keith spent over 30 minutes describing what the Lord showed him about Apostolic Resource Centers (ARCs) and it sounded so very similar as to what the Lord showed me click here to learn more about ARCs.  Amos 3:7, surely God does nothing unless He reveals it to His servants the prophets (prophets PLURAL).  That was encouraging.

He also mentioned how the Feasts that the Jews celebrate in 2015 would be marked by lunar and solar  eclipses.  Now, I found that very interesting as I've seen God use signs and wonders in the heavens for several years to mark the message He gave me to steward (click here).  God used the signs to mark His message.  The most important thing is not the sign, but the author of the sign and His message.

Joel 2:31 
The sun shall be turned into darkness,  And the moon into blood,  Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.

Here is what I found when I compared the Feasts schedule for 2015 to NASA's lunar and solar eclipse calendars.

Lunar Eclipse

Solar Eclipse

Luke 21:34-36
"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."  NKJV

In 2015 Passover occurs on April 4th.  NASA's calendar indicates that a lunar eclipse is scheduled on that day.

In a lunar eclipse the moon turns red. 

The Feast of Passover points to what Jesus did for us on the cross.  He became that sacrificial lamb without spot, wrinkle or blemish.  He shed His blood for all who have chosen to receive Him.  Our heavenly Father sent Him to fulfill all of the righteous requirements of the law that God himself might have relationship, fellowship and communion with us.  How awesome is that kind of love?  He set the standard and then paid the price by sending His son.  Truly mercy and truth have met together and righteousness and truth have kissed (Ps. 85:15).

Rosh Hashana, the start of the Jewish new year and begins with the Days of Awe which is also known as the Feasts of Trumpets.  It is also known as the days of judgment.  It is is a time for introspection and repentance.  1 Corinthians 11:28... but let a man examine himself...  A solar eclipse is scheduled on September 13th which is the first day of the feast. 

This leads us to Sukkot which is also known as the Feast of Tabernacles or Ingathering.  It is associated with a bountiful harvest and is a time of rejoicing.  Click here for the Jewish calendar of the feasts.  It is scheduled for September 28th while a solar eclipse is also scheduled on the same day click here.

Paul Keith says that there are a couple of times in the last century that lunar and solar eclipses marked the feasts like this.  The first occurred in 1948 when Israel became a nation and the second occurred in 1967 when Jerusalem was occupied by the Jews once again.

I don't know exactly what will occur in 2015 but I do know this, I want to be one of the ones our Lord finds "watching and praying."
