Sign of the Last Days: Super Blood Moon Reappearing in 2021

Editor's Note: In recent years, the celestial phenomenon "blood moon" has appeared frequently. Various disasters such as pandemics, earthquakes, and famines are getting worse and worse. The Bible prophecies about the last days have already been fulfilled, and the great and terrible day of Jehovah is near. The great disasters are now upon us, so how should we welcome the Lord's return? This article has the answer.

As predicted by relevant experts, on May 26, 2021, a rare phenomenon will take place in the sky: A super blood moon, the biggest blood moon of this year, will be seen during a total lunar eclipse. Related information states that the term "supermoon" refers to when the full moon moves to its closest point to the earth, its perigee, at which point the moon's apparent diameter is 14% larger than normal and its brightness also increases by 30%—it is the largest, roundest moon visible to the naked eye. On May 26 of this year, a blood moon will happen during a total lunar eclipse, so it's also called the super blood moon, which is a rarely seen astronomical sight. In actual fact, wonderful sights such as blood moons and supermoons have been making constant appearances over recent years, for example the blood moons of 2011 and 2013, the series of four blood moons that appeared through 2014 and 2015, the super blue blood moon of 2018, which also occurred 152 years ago, and the super blood wolf moon that appeared on 21st January 2019 which perfectly combined the three astronomical sights of a supermoon, a blood moon and a wolf moon, and it was hailed as the most dazzling astronomical wonder.

Many prophets have prophesied that the appearance of blood moons signifies extraordinary and great events to come. There are also many Bible experts who firmly believe that the appearance of blood moons are the fulfillment of the prophecy in the Book of Joel 2:29–31: "And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days will I pour out My Spirit. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah comes." Also, in Revelation 6:12, it states: "And I beheld when He had opened the sixth seal, and, see, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood." "The great and terrible day" mentioned in the prophecy in the Book of Joel refers to the great disasters. We have all seen disasters growing in scale over the past few years, with frequent occurrences of such disasters as earthquakes, famines, plagues and floods which are horrifying for us to witness; the world situation is in turmoil and constantly changing, there are frequent eruptions of wars, violent incidents and terrorist attacks which continue to escalate; the world's atmosphere is getting warmer, and extreme weathers and all kinds of astronomical wonders are occurring all the time. The signs of the last days prophesied in the Bible have appeared one by one, and the great disasters have come down. So, how should we welcome the Lord and gain His ? The Lord Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me" (John 10:27). "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth" (John 16:12–13). It is prophesied in many places in chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation: "He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." From these prophecies, we can see that God will speak words and perform a new stage of work in the last days to purify and save people, and bring people into the kingdom of God. Only by listening for God's voice, and longing for and seeking God's appearance and work of the last days can we welcome the return of the Lord Jesus, have the opportunity to be saved and perfected by God, and enter a beautiful destination with God. Otherwise, we will lose God's salvation, fall into the great disasters of the last days, and be eliminated and punished. Here's what God says about that:

All manner of disasters will befall, one after another; all nations and places will experience calamities: Plague, famine, flood, drought, and earthquakes are everywhere. These disasters are not just happening in one or two places, nor will they be over within a day or two; rather, instead they will expand across a greater and greater area, and become more and more severe. During this time, all manner of insect plagues will arise one after another, and the phenomenon of cannibalism will occur everywhere. This is My judgment upon all nations and peoples.

Excerpted from "Chapter 65" of Utterances of Christ in the Beginning in

In the vast expanse of the world, oceans silting into fields, fields flooding into oceans, over and over. Except for He who rules over everything among all things, no one is able to lead and guide this human race. There is no mighty one to labor or make preparations for this human race, still less is there anyone who can lead this human race toward the destination of light and liberate it from earthly injustices. God laments the future of mankind, He grieves at the fall of mankind, and is pained that mankind is marching, step by step, toward decay and the path of no return. No one has ever given thought to which direction such a mankind that has broken the heart of God and renounced Him to seek the evil one might be headed. It is precisely for this reason why no one senses the wrath of God, why no one seeks a way to please God or tries to draw closer to God, and what is more, why no one seeks to comprehend God's grief and pain. Even after hearing the voice of God, man continues on his own path, persists in straying from God, evading God's grace and care, and shunning His truth, preferring to sell himself to Satan, the enemy of God. And who has given any thought—should man persist in his obduracy—to how God will act toward this humanity that has dismissed Him without a backward glance? No one knows that the reason for God's repeated reminders and exhortations is because He has prepared in His hands a calamity like never before, one that will be unbearable to the flesh and soul of man. This calamity is not merely a punishment of the flesh, but also of the soul. You need to know this: When God's plan falls through, and when His reminders and exhortations are not repaid, what kind of rage will He unleash? It will be like nothing that has ever been experienced or heard by any created being. And so I say, this calamity is without precedent, and will never be repeated. For God's plan is to create mankind only this once, and to save mankind only this once. This is the first time, and it is also the last. Therefore, no one can comprehend the painstaking intentions and fervent anticipation with which God saves mankind this time.

The work of God surges onward like a mighty wave. No one can detain Him, and no one can halt His march. Only those who listen carefully to His words, and who seek and thirst for Him, can follow His footsteps and receive His promise. Those who do not shall be subjected to overwhelming disaster and well-deserved punishment.
