Rabbi: Blood moons mean 'messianic advancement'

But now a scholarly Orthodox rabbi from Brooklyn affirms this series of blood moons is serious spiritual business, because each one brings the world closer to the advent of the messiah.
“Each one of these is a messianic advancement,†says Rabbi Mendel Kessin. “There are incredible events that predate the messiah.â€
Kessin says that normal lunar eclipses, that give the appearance of the moon turning blood red, signal bad news for Israel and the Jewish people. However, he says, those that occur on biblical holy days – such as Passover and Sukkot or Tabernacles – represent good news for them.
Kessin also points out that the next blood moons will occur just two weeks after the end of the Shemitah year – or Sabbath year when debts are released and the land rests, according to the Bible. Kessin says rabbinic teachings suggest the messiah will come in the year following the Shemitah year.

If you think Kessin sounds like some Hebraic roots Christian teach
ers, like Pastor Mark Biltz, who discovered the blood moon phenomenon in 2008 and authored the bestselling book, “Blood Moons,†and wrote a documentary movie of the same name, and messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, the New York Times bestselling author of “The Harbinger†and “The Mystery of the Shemitah,†you’re not alone.

The Sabbath-observing Biltz highlighted Kessin’s teachings from his Tacoma, Washington, pulpit Saturday. Biltz has linked historical blood moons tetrads with historical events such as the expulsion of the Jews from Spain beginning in 1492, the founding of the modern state of Israel in 1948 and Israel’s capture of Jerusalem in the Six-Day War in 1967.
Kessin, who holds has a Ph.D. in psychology from Fordham University and is a noted lecturer on Jewish philosophy in the U.S., Canada, South Africa and Israel, also sees significance in the recent U.S. deal with Iran over nuclear weapons.
There is an 800-year-old rabbinic commentary known as Yalkut Shimoni, which he translates: “Paras (Persia-Iran) will be the dread of humanity. The world’s leaders will be frustrated in their futile efforts to save what they can, but to no avail. The people of Israel will also be petrified by the impending danger. And HaShem (God) will say to us, ‘Why are you afraid? All of this I have done in order to bring you the awaited redemption. And this redemption will not be like the redemption from Egypt, which was followed by suffering. This redemption will be absolute, followed with peace.’â€
“We have now entered the countdown to the messiah, which is unbelievable,†Kessin said.
He cites the Book of Joel, which says: “The sun shall turn to darkness, and the moon to blood, prior to the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.†(Joel 3:4) “Based on [that verse], based on what’s happening, something awesome seems to be in the works. Fascinating!â€
Biltz, meanwhile sees more evidence something big is in the works by the Dow plunges on successive days last week.
On Tuesday, he points out, the market dropped 358 points. The next day it dropped 530 points. Add those numbers up and you get 888, which Biltz says in biblical parlance is suggestive of “new beginnings.†He also says the numerical equivalent of Jesus’ name in the Greek alphabet is 888.
