The Passover Watch - Join us April 14th

This Passover will be marked by a very rare heavenly event: a lunar eclipse. Some have coined this a blood moon.  In fact it is the first of four blood moons that will occur on the Feasts of Passover and Sukkot (Tabernacles) in 2014 and 2015. Four lunar eclipses are called a tetrad and there have only been seven recorded since 1 AD.  In the last century the tetrads occurred twice.  The first was associated with Israel becoming a nation in 1948 and the second was in 1967 right after the Six Day War occurred.  That's remarkable don't you think?

Jesus told us about the conditions that would exist before He returns in Matthew 24-25 and  Luke 21.  He says that there will be signs in the sun, the moon and the stars and admonishes us not to allow ourselves to allow our hearts to become weighed down with drunkenness, carousing, or the cares of this life but to rather "watch and pray."  My friends, we are living in amazing times and God still has plans for the nation of Israel.  Israel finds herself in very challenging times once again as peace talks have stalled and are set to expire on April 29th.  Historically tetrads have always marked a time of tragedy followed by triumph for Israel.  

The lunar eclipse (blood moon) is scheduled to begin at 10:58pm PDT as the moon moves into the earth shadow. The full lunar eclipse begins at 12:07am and lasts until 1:25am PDT. 

If there was ever a sign in the heavens that said "watch and pray" these blood moons occurring on Passover and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) in 2014 and 2015 sure do. It is a time to pray first for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122) and then for the salvation of Israel (Romans 10:1).  Then we will pray whatever our Lord shows us to pray for His Church, our community, state and our nation.

We would like to invite you to join us in a "Night Prayer Watch on Passover, April 14th." We'll begin our watch at sunset on April 14th. We are going to invite our Church to join us in our local area and we encourage you to invite your church family to gather together in homes or as a local congregation to watch and pray with us.  Actually, we are going to watch not only in prayer but also with a telescope!  

Here are some of the scriptures we'll be meditating upon and praying too. 

---

Watch & pray with the following scriptures!

The Hallel consists of Psalm 113-118.  These are scriptures that have been used during the Passover for centuries.  Psalm 113- 114 are sung or prayed before the meal while the remaining 4 psalms are prayed after the meal.

Psalm 122 - pray for the peace of Jerusalem

Romans 10:1 - pray that Israel might be saved

Zechariah 12 thru 14 - pray our Lord pour out upon us a spirit of grace and supplication to pray regarding the Day of the Lord.

2 Peter 3:10-13 - let us look for and pray to hasten the Day of the Lord
