Incredible Astronomical Symmetry
by Douglas Roger Dexheimer
"Sun – Shine; Moon – Glow; Stars - Twinkle!”1
We have read that our Creator put the Sun, Moon and stars in their places "for signs and seasons."2
Previous articles in this newsletter have discussed:
- "SIGNS AND SEASONS: Biblical References to Heavenly Bodies": Biblical instruction for observing Feasts of the LORD.
- "CALENDAR CONVERSION CONSIDERATIONS" between Gregorian and Hebrew calendars.
- Geometry of orbits of Earth and Moon, showing the unusual alignments required for lunar tetrads.
This article is yet another in our ongoing series on lunar tetrads that are occurring at this time. I am going to show you some patterns of eclipses that have occurred in the past, and associate them with events in the land of Israel.
You may have noticed a series of dates on a poster prepared by Mr. Lu Vegas. Those dates are previous incidences of lunar tetrads, also known as Blood Moons.
Lu Vegas' artwork caught my attention and resulted in a link to Mr. Paul Grevas' website, from which you can see the most incredible patterns of eclipses that were in the heavens at the time of previous lunar tetrads.3
Grevas has the following disclaimer on his website:
My name is Paul Grevas.... I have been a Statistician my entire working career in Gov’t and the private sector and am now retired….We hereby give our total unfettered permission and encouragement to promote this graph 8A (and all the others). We waive all and every privacy right, copyright, patent, and all other legal rulings and arrangements because time is just too short. Our Lord is coming sooner than we may think, these Heavenly SIGNS tells us so. May you verify and judge this data for yourselves by doing the calculations yourselves. Although it is laborious time wise it is quite simple, all you need is a regular calendar and NASA website dates on all the Eclipses. Don’t believe me, believe 1 John 4:1 and you’ll know. May God Bless.4
Grevas has found additional solar and lunar eclipses that surround the dates of lunar tetrads. The symmetry is incredible. The names he gave these past events are self-explanatory. These can be verified by checking the NASA Catalog of Eclipses.5
In the following graphs, you can see that there were solar eclipses before and after the center of some of these lunar tetrads. Similarly, you will see that there were lunar eclipses before and after the center of the lunar tetrads. Let's take a look at the events that were occurring during previous lunar tetrads.
Notice the two singular Blood Moons preceding and following the date of the crucifixion. You can see that the tetrad pattern is established with lunar eclipses on the feasts of Passover & Tabernacles, but the third and fourth lunar tetrads are not total, but partial. Grevas has written an email to me to the effect that the total solar eclipse that is recorded in Luke 23:44 is a miraculous event which is not cataloged by NASA.
MARTYRDOM, DIASPORA, AND GREAT PLAGUE, 162-163 AD. |
Grevas discovered that this tetrad coincides with the feasts of Passover and Tabernacles.
DEFEAT OF MUSLIM EMPIRE, 795-796. |
Grevas discovered that this tetrad coincides with the feasts of Passover and Tabernacles. He also discovered lunar eclipses that surrounded the event, but these do not fall on feast days.
FALL OF THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE, 842-843 AD. |
Grevas discovered that this tetrad coincides with the feasts of Passover and Tabernacles. He also discovered solar and lunar eclipses that surrounded the event.
SECOND DEFEAT OF MUSLIM EMPIRE, 860-861 AD. |
Grevas discovered that this tetrad coincides with the feasts of Passover and Tabernacles. He also discovered solar and lunar eclipses that surrounded the event.
INQUISITION -- COLUMBUS DISCOVERS AMERICA, 1492-1493. |
Grevas discovered that this tetrad coincides with the feasts of Passover and Tabernacles. He also discovered solar and lunar eclipses that surrounded the event.
RETURN OF JEWS TO HOLY LAND, 1949-1950. |
Grevas discovered that this tetrad coincides with the feasts of Passover and Tabernacles. He also discovered solar and lunar eclipses that surrounded the event.
RETURN OF JERUSALEM TO ISRAEL, 1967-1968. |
Grevas discovered that this tetrad coincides with the feasts of Passover and Tabernacles. He also discovered solar and lunar eclipses that surrounded the event.
LORD'S PERFECT SIGN, 2014-2015. |
Grevas discovered this tetrad coincides with the feasts of Passover and Tabernacles. He also discovered solar and lunar eclipses that surrounded the event.
The coming 2014-2015 Biblical Blood Moon Tetrad is unstoppable, phenomenal, and absolutely unprecedented, like no other of the seven previous ones in world history can match. These coming Blood Moons and their accompanying heavenly signs even supersede the signs our Creator displayed in the heavens during the crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, and that event is possibly the greatest in world history, other than creation.6
Statistician Paul Grevas has determined that the timing of this unusual lunar tetrad is so rare, "The probability of successfully predicting 4 consecutive BLOOD MOONS to fall on these 2 Holy Days beginning ... with Passover … on the first of the 2014-2015 BLOOD MOONS is INDESCRIBABLE: 1 chance in 1.85 x 10 to the 139th power. Yes, that is 139 consecutive zeroes."7
When will the next lunar tetrad occur? "NASA says there will be no more ‘BIBLICAL’ TETRADS for almost another 600 years, until the year 2582-83 AD."8 (Please look it up on NASA websites.)
PROPHECY OR PREDICTION?
Stay tuned. We are living in very unusual days. The LORD set the Sun, and Moon into their orbits long ago, to be a sign to mankind that something incredible is about to happen. With the understanding of orbital geometry, and calendar conversions, we are in a unique position in history to watch our Creator's timetable unfold.
There have been numerous so-called prophets in the past that have calculated the day of our Lord’s return. Those calculations failed.
In the New Testament we find:
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.
Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory.
But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.9 Luke 21: 25-8. (Emphasis in original.)
The pattern of signs and seasons that our LORD placed in the heavens are uncanny, and unique. Rather than try to calculate what day our LORD will return, these signs and seasons are determined by the movements of the heavenly bodies. All we can truthfully say, based on previous lunar tetrads, is that it seems something momentous is about to occur.
In a future newsletter, we expect to have some quotations from creationist astronomer Dr. Danny Faulkner and others, in addition to some Bible scholars.
In subsequent months, we will have reports on the third of four Blood Moons.
