Super Moon Sunday

Share this page

I figure the Blood Moon is okay to look at but we're not supposed to look directly at an eclipse, right? Or is that just for solar eclipses? *enjoys natural phenomena but likes my eyesight better!*
 
Probably just solar. With a lunar one, the earth is between the sun and the moon. Shadow of the earth.

If you were standing in China, you'd be on the wrong side of the earth and also in daylight. :)

Music for the occasion.

So, I did a little digging and it turns out that the big deal with this particular Tetrad is that it is the 4th one since 1492 in which four consecutive blood moons fall on jewish feast days. On the date of or really close to each of the last three -- 1492, 1949-50 and 1967-68 -- major events have taken place to affect the Jewish people. In order, they are The Spanish Inquisition, the establishment of Israel and the war with the Arabs.

So, one hot theory among some bible study crackpots is that the Jews and Palestinians are going to get together to sign a peace accord, which isn't nearly as cool as it sounds because the shit is going to go bad quickly, the apocalypse is going to get touched off and the whole thing will culminate in Jesus showing up again to decide who gets an eternal membership in Green Pastures Country Club and who gets tortured by sadistic demons.

Enjoy the game!

I guess it's a good thing my son didn't join Dungeons and Dragons.

I think if you look hard enough around pretty much any astronomical event, you can find major happenings in Jewish history. They tend to be a people whose history contains a lot of ... history.
 
It was pretty neat to see it last night, but I was a bit disappointed that the world didn't end.

I took some pictures to show my grand kids someday that I survived yet another end of the world event.

I dunno. Something strange seemed to happen at my house. My little alter to the Y2K Gods wasn't here this AM. :shrug:

And the perpetual flame I lit before my little pre-Columbian Zamn icon at 11:59 PM on 12/20/2012 blew out with no wind at all in the house.

Cheers, Boston

If we start 3-0 only for the season to get cancelled because of the apocalypse, I'm going to be f*cking furious.

Hey, remember that the Red Sox won the World Series in '04 during a lunar eclipse. That was a "blood moon" as well.

Hey as long as Goodell, Wells, Grigson, et al. end up in the latter place, and the Big Guy explains just why they're sent there, I'm OK with that.

The Supermoon did look pretty cool last night, but just to be a wet blanket I'd like to point out that according to a long video I somehow sat through yesterday --- the world wasn't supposed to end instantly. It's going to take a while.

However, if you hear something about the Israelis and Palestinians signing a peace accord in the near future, I'd get the survival gear ready and top off your gas tank. Remember, bullets will be the new currency so plan accordingly.

I'm didn't catch exactly which passage in the Bible foresaw such an accord being struck and the wheels being set in motion, but that's what the pros are saying, so it's gotta be true.

Unless the Cubs win the World Series I'm thinking we're pretty safe.
