Revivals, Israel, and Blood Moons
Is there a pattern of events that have happened around the Blood Moon Tetrad, Israel and the moves of God in America?
Pentecostalism emerged in the early 20th century among radical adherents of the Holiness movement who were energized by revivalism and expectation for the imminent Second Coming of Christ. Believing that they were living in the end times, they expected God to spiritually renew the Christian Church thereby bringing to pass the restoration of spiritual gifts and the evangelization of the world. In 1900, Charles Parham, an American evangelist and faith healer, began teaching that speaking in tongues was the Bible evidence of Spirit baptism. The three-year-long Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles, California, resulted in the spread of Pentecostalism throughout the United States and the rest of the world as visitors carried the Pentecostal experience back to their home churches or felt called to the mission field.
Hearts were: 1. Prepared and cleansed (Humbled and Hungry)
2. Expectant: 2nd coming was imminent
3. A belief that we are living in the end times.
4. Longing for the Spiritual gifts to get the world evangelized.
While the church experienced this mighty blessing of being restored to their pentecostal roots, across the Ocean in a little forgotten land, the “Belfour Declaration” was being signed that would one day restore Israel back to its Hebraic roots.
His Majesty's government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing nonJewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country. (Belfour Declaration dated 2 November 1917)
This came on the heels of the fall of the Ottoman Empire that had taken the land from the Roman Empire. Is it possible that the 7th kingdom that John saw in Revelation could have been the Ottoman Empire? A “beast system” that was, and is not and is about to come again? Could the British defeat of the Ottoman Empire be the fatal head wound of Rev. 13:14. In that case it’s comeback would seem extraordinary to the Middle East and those who believe in the Caliphate.
The land would remain desolate for 1 jubilee fulfilling Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel prophesy in 1217.
At the end of WWII, seeing the devastation of the Jewish people, the world was ready to fulfill the plans to give the land of Israel back to its original owners. ( Fulfilling the prophecy of the dry bones Ezekiel 37) On 29 November 1947, the U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution recommending the adoption and implementation of the Partition Plan for Palestine. The resolution recommended the creation of independent Arab and Jewish States and the Special International Regime for the City of Jerusalem. Following on 30 November 1947 civil war between the Arab and Jewish populations broke in response to the UN Partition Plan to divide Palestine into three areas: an Arab state, a Jewish state and the Special International Regime for the City of Jerusalem began. On 15 May 1948 Israel declared its independence. At the end of the war Israel had maintained all the land allocated to them plus 60% of the area allocated for the proposed Arab state.
Side Note: Those nations opposed to the resolution were:
Afghanistan, India, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and Cuba.
Then on the heals of the first Lunar tetrad since Columbus (1493-1494) credited for discovering America, we experienced the four blood moons on High Holy Days in the years 1949-1950.
Meanwhile what was beginning to transpire in America was two-fold. The evangelical revival led by Billy Graham would begin to turn the prodigal sons and daughters hearts back towards their creator and prepare the ground for what the Lord had next, the healing revival. William Branham is widely regarded as the initiator and the pacesetter of the revival, but Oral Roberts would become the leading minister. Others God used were: T. L. Osborn, Jack Coe, A. A. Allen, Gordon Lindsay, and Kathryn Kuhlman . Again peoples hearts were prepared for what the Lord was about to poor out. Each time He moves, there is a cleansing and then a filling.
Almost 2 decades later across the Ocean, the next step for Israel was starting, to recapture their capital city of Jerusalm. Six-Day War, was a brief war that took place June 5–10, 1967, and was the third of the Arab-Israeli wars. Overall, Israel's territory grew by a factor of three, including Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank of the Jordan River (including East Jerusalem), and the Golan Heights.
In the sky was the 2nd tetrad since Columbus in the years 1967-1968. Falling again on Passover and Feast of Tabernacles two years in a row.
Meanwhile back in America, on the heals of the Healing Revival, Brother Kenneth Hagin took up a mandate by God to “Teach my people Faith”. The Jesus movement would usher back in a generation of prodigal sons and daughters and ministers like Brother Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, and others would carry the mandate to teach God’s people faith.
Now, 47 years later, we are in the middle of the 3rd Blood-Moon tetrad since Columbus. It started in April of 2014 and will conclude in Sept. 2015.
So far in Israel, we have seen a 7 week conflict with Hamas. Israel is being pressed on all sides to go back to its pre-1967 borders. The EU, and other groups are working hard on a “Two-State” solution that will force Israel to share the land with their enemies. Not only is this unbiblical, but it would leave Israel vunerable to attack by their growing numbers of enemies. If the pattern follows suit, Israel will not only come out a winner but will gain more land as well. Will they get to build their long awaited temple? In 1949-1950 they got their land back. In 1967-1968 they got their capital city back. In 2014-2015 will they get their temple mount back? It would seem very favorable.
In America, our own country, has turned its back on Israel. We have never had a president that is so anti-Israel as Barak Obama. Our moral state as a nation is in the toilet. Our churches are no better then a membership club where people come to fellowship, see a show and feel good without changing the sinful lifestyles they are bound in. Ministers preach a weak gospel with no signs and wonders following. There is no conviction to change, repent and turn back to the Lord that saved us. The signs are in the sky but not in the church. The hearts have not been prepared like before each previous great move of God. We wait and wonder if America will once again see a revival like they did in the past. Its time for Gods people to stand-up and cry like the voice in the wilderness “Repent!” We need the John the Baptists and the Billy Grahams of our generation to make the hearts ready. The movement that God wants to poor out must be contained in clean, hungry, hearts. God is looking for those who are sold out no matter what the cost and who will run this race all the way into the Kingdom of Heaven. Only time will tell if America has missed their Great Revival. But my prayer is that it’s not to late and God still has one great move for her.
