The Mystery of the Blood Moons
by Ron Allen&“The story of the stars is the story of the Creator Himself, told in His own words and pictures – and painted with fire across the expanse of the universe.&” The Scriptures tell us that the heavens declare God&’s glory. Yet, Christians avoid concentrating too intently on messages that might be written in the stars, for fear of aligning themselves with pagan practices. Nearly 30 years, the author of The Mystery of the Blood Moons began studying God&’s secrets as revealed in the sun, moon, stars, and planets. In this book, he gives particular attention to the apocalyptic intrigue surrounding the Blood Moon. Previous texts have highlighted the correlation between the timing of blood moons and important events in the nation of Israel. Here, the author applies his broad knowledge of cosmic symbols, and interprets what they disclose concerning the revival of the church and Christ&’s Second Advent. The Mystery of the Blood Moons will infuse believers with hope. It is a call to consider the wonders of the universe and attend to what the Creator is saying through them.
