The Blood Moon Triad of 2018-2019

The Three Blood Moons of 2018-2019 begin tonight with a Total Lunar Eclipse! These three total lunar eclipses in a row will happen on Hebrew holidays...tu B'Shevat, tu B'Av and then again on tu B'Shevat of 2019.

The blood moon or total lunar eclipse will be around 6-6:30 MT tomorrow morning the 31st of January. This eclipse will also be a supermoon (the third of three in a row...meaning they all happen super close to the Earth) and a blue moon (it will be the second full moon in one month). Looking back at the last time there was a blue/blood moon in 1866 (which was Passover) there was an epidemic in New York, a plague in the Mid-west and a presidential assassination...of President Lincoln (within the year give or take...which is the way the Hebrew calendar works compared to our year as it doesn't start in January).

Tu B'Shevat is the New Year's of trees (one of four New Year's according to Hebrew tradition). The State of the Union Address is also tonight which on the Hebrew calendar is the same day (their day starts at Sundown) as this eclipse.

Moving forward in time to 17 March is Nissan 1 or New Year's of God's calendar. Solar eclipses happened on this date in 2015 and in 2016 (when starting the calendar as commanded in Leviticus. The command to start this calendar was the first commandment given to the house of Israel.)

Two weeks later is the 31st of March which is Passover Saturday, Easter Sunday and LDS General Conference and a second blue moon this year! (In 1836 there was a weekend when Jesus appeared in the Kirtland Temple where it was both Passover on Saturday and Easter on Sunday.)

Having two blue moons in a row is a very rare event. It happened because the full moon and closest Supermoon for the entire year actually happened on New Year's of 2018 (that's a rare event too) and then February is a short month, making March 1st another full moon with the 31st another blue moon!

Some people believe that the Day of Atonement heralding the Jubilee year (anciently happened every 50 years where debt was forgiven, etc.) is actually in preparation for the Jubilee year to start on Nissan 1 (as God commanded the year to begin then in Leviticus). That would make this Nissan 1 or New Year's on God's calendar the end of the 5777th year which is believed by some to be 120 jubilees since Adam, 70 jubilees since Moses, 40 jubilees since Jesus Christ (and 4 since Joseph Smith) were on the Earth.

There are certainly some interesting (and perhaps prophetic) signs in the heavens coming up!!

I utterly failed to run around naked and yelling about how the heavens were angry.  I promise to do better next time.

Cool science fact: The full moon does nothing to human behavior. Our mind as humans remembers the odd things that happen on full moons and we forget the odd things that happen when there isn't a full moon. 

Good ole' science:

So you're saying I run around naked yelling stuff on other nights, and just don't remember it because of the lack of moon?  I think I'd remember that.

Seriously though, yeah, that sounds right.  In High School, a whole carload of us kids were utterly convinced that one of the girls in the car had the power to affect streetlights just by driving past them.  The sodium bulbs would age and overheat and turn off and on until they got replaced.  It seemed like every time we were driving somewhere, at least one streetlight would go out.  And there she'd be, in the car, looking innocent.  A little thought to the matter, and it dawned on me that even when she wasn't in the car, they'd go off and someone would immediately say "I didn't know she was in that house" or something funny like that.

And that is why you can never go to Olive Garden again. Ever.

Psst.  Gator.  Look at your avatar.  Go put some pants on or something before you get on NT about it.

Most of the beaches I go to don't require pants so I leave mine at home, including on avatars.

TMI alert!!!  Is this something you need to talk to the bishop about?

You might want to hurry with the triad and all.

Wait!  What to do the Chinese have to do with this?

Nude beaches are frowned upon in Mormonism? @Anddenex you jerk. You lied to me.

@lds2 The lunar eclipse has come and gone. You note it as an "interesting.... sign in the heavens." Could you elaborate what it was a sign of? What is it signalling?

The last time it coincided with a blue moon (150 years ago), you say it heralded the following:  an epidemic in New York, a plague in the Mid-west and a presidential assassination. Did something similar happen this time?

 

Does @NeuroTypical need to dry clean his tutu?

Wait, you knew about the tutu?  Dang!  I guess I can't blackmail him anymore.
