Full Worm Blood Moon/Lunar Eclipse 2026

 

 

 "When you look to the heavens and see the sun and the moon and stars-
all the hosts of heaven-do not be enticed to bow down and worship what
the LORD your God appointed to all the nations under heaven."
(Deuteronomy 4:19)

This year's Full Worm Moon provided a double celestial treat for sky watchers
having been paired with a total lunar eclipse. For those early risers who were
  fortunate enough to see this wonder of wonders in the heavens reach it's
 maximum totality at 6:33 a.m. Tuesday morning, the Moon was said to have 
given off a coppery red or orange glow-hence the term, "Blood Moon".

Although due to cloud cover and spotty rain showers I missed the opportunity to
 see what is being called by some as a " rare and strange celestial sight" traditionally 
thought impossible- the rising sun and the eclipsed moon in the sky at the same time-
 the Bible assures us, "What has been will be again, and what has been done
 will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." 
(Ecclesiastes 1:9)

What is interesting to note is that this will be the third blood moon to occur during
the Feast of Purim, which commemorates Israel's deliverance from Haman's 
wicked decree in ancient Persia 2500 years ago.

Only days before the third blood moon rose on Purim, the modern day leaders
 of Persia (Iran) were taken out in a surprise daytime military strike by
 Israel and America, which will hopefully bring a permanent end to one 
of the most brutal regimes in world history.  This remains to be seen.

  I believed only God can truly liberate Iran, by destroying the mantle of
   satanic darkness over that nation, which has kept the people there in bondage
    to a spirit of murder and death called Islam. Will the war accomplish this? 
 Will a new government seek democratic reforms which will allow religious
freedom, so that my faithful brothers and sisters in the underground church 
 there will be able to rise up and witness, unhindered, the powerful, soul-
saving message of salvation in and through the Lord Jesus Christ to 
the lost and hurting people in that nation, and subsequently across
the Middle East?  I pray it will be so!

Pray also for the peace of Jerusalem and the salvation of Israel. Maranatha!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wednesday's Word: Adonai Tzva'ot: Lord Of Heaven's Armies

 

 

"Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted;
His splendor is above the earth and the heavens."
(Psalm 148:13)

 "...I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted; and the train of
  His robe filled the temple. Above Him stood seraphim, each having six wings: 
With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet,  
and with two they were flying. And they were calling out to one another:
 "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory."
(Isaiah 6:1-3)
 

"Therefore, God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in the heaven and on earth and under the
earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." 
(Philippians 2:9)

"...all the earth is full of His glory." 
(Isaiah 6:3)

 What The Prophet Isaiah Saw

"In this figurative vision, the temple is thrown open to view, even the most holy place.
The prophet, standing outside the temple, sees the Divine Presence seated on the
mercy-seat, raised over the Ark of the Covenant, between the cherubim and seraphim,
and the Divine glory filled the whole temple. 

See God upon His throne. The vision is explained:  

"Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke about Him."
(John 12:41)

which is a full proof that our Saviour is God.  In Christ Jesus, God is seated on
the throne of grace; and through Him the way into the holiest is laid open. See
God's temple, His church on earth, filled with His glory. His train, the skirts
of His robes, filled the temple, the whole world, for it is all God's temple.

And yet, He dwells in every contrite heart. See the blessed attendants by whom
His government is served. Above the throne stood the holy angels, called seraphim,
which means burners; they burn in love to God, and zeal for His glory against sin. 
The seraphim showing their faces veiled, declare that they are ready to yield 
obedience to all God's commands, though they do not understand the secret
reasons for His counsels, government, or promises.

All vain-glory, ambition, ignorance, and pride, would be done away by one view
of Christ in His glory.  The awful vision of the Divine Majesty overwhelmed the
prophet with a sense of his own vileness. We are undone if there is not a Mediator
between us and this holy God.  A glimpse of heavenly glory is enough to convince
us that all our righteousness are as filthy rags. Nor is there a man that would dare
to speak to the Lord, if he saw the justice, holiness, and majesty of God, without
discerning His glorious mercy and grace in Jesus Christ.

"Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that
he had taken with tongs from the altar. And with it he touched my mouth and said:
"Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for." 
(Isaiah 6:6-7)

The live coal may denote the assurance given to the prophet, of pardon, and
acceptance in his work through the atonement of Christ.  Nothing is powerful 
to cleanse and comfort the soul, but what is taken from Christ's satisfaction
and intercession.  The taking away of sin is necessary to our speaking with
confidence and comfort, either to God in prayer, or from God in preaching;
and those shall have their sin taken away who complain of it as a burden,
and see themselves in danger of being undone by it. 

"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? Who will
go for Us? And I said, "Here am I. Send me." 
(Isaiah 6:8)

It is a great comfort to those whom God sends, that they go for God, and
may therefore speak His name assured that He will bear them out." 

-Matthew Henry's Commentary

 Purim happened over 2500 years ago in the Persian Empire, 
 but the spirit of Haman( Antisemitism) is still alive today.
What should be the response of the believer? The question is
not whether God will preserve Israel, but whether you will
stand with His people and for truth for such a time as this.

7 Banned Medieval Vegetables Big Agriculture Wants To Erase

 

 

 

 

 Medieval gardens grew about 100 different kinds of vegetables.
Seven of these vegetables that fed Europe for centuries have been
quietly pushed out of seed catalogs, removed from commercial
farming, and in some cases made illegal to sell as food. Why?  

 It was not because they failed. Learn about these seven plants
grown in Medieval gardens and the reasons why they are
surprisingly absent from modern agriculture.
