Blood Moon prophecy: End of the world preacher reveals ‘harbinger’ sign in lunar eclipse

BLOOD MOON eclipses are a prophetic sign of the apocalypse, a Christian evangelist and purveyor of doomsday prophecies has bizarrely claimed.

Although Blood Moons are a frequent and perfectly natural phenomenon, they are often linked to prophecies about the end of the world. A prominent Christian evangelist and host of the TV show The Coming Apocalypse believes Blood Moons and other signs will signal the imminent return of Jesus Christ. Pastor Paul Begley from West Lafayette in Indiana, US, is certain an upcoming partial eclipse is one of these signs.

On the night of July 4 to July 5, parts of the Moon will darken in the Earth’s penumbral shadow.

Although the lunar eclipse will not produce a Blood Moon – the result of scattered sunlight tinting the Moon a rusty brown colour – Pastor Begley has dubbed the event a harbinger of doom.

Speaking to his more than 335,000 subscribers on YouTube, the evangelist linked the Blood Moon to prophecies in the Bible’s Book of Joel.

Pastor Begley said: “I’m almost sensing something explosive on the Fourth of July, and I’m not talking about firecrackers.”

The Bible describes the Moon turning red in the Booke of Joel, Book of Acts and the Book of Revelation.

Joel 2 reads: “I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

“The Sun will be turned to darkness and the Moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

“And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, and Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.”
