288: SECOND OF FOUR BLOOD MOONS TONIGHT

Tonight there will be another lunar eclipse. This will be the second blood moon that promises to be bigger and brighter than the first. Each one of these four blood moons occurs on sacred Jewish Holy Days. This particular lunar eclipse will coincide with the rising of the Sun. In some areas of the world it will be possible to actually see the sun and the blood moon at the same time. A very rare occurrence. In Salt Lake City, the eclipse will be from 3:18 a.m. to 6:32 a.m., being full between 4:27 a.m. to 5:22 a.m. MDT.

"Long before astronomy disclosed the vastness of space, or the brilliant birth of the new stars along with the ominous presence of devouring black holes, men and women look at the dark star encrusted vault of the heavens and drew inspiration from that vision. One of the images arising from the contemplation of the night sky is the contrast of the innumerable points of light with the heavy blackness upon which they seem suspended. A dark bowl or lid seems to cover our world and closing us in oppressive opacity (darkness) yet this inverted sphere is riddled with specks of light that are easily imagined as perforations in the black veil hinting at boundless worlds of light from where the light of the stars proceeds."  Stephan Hoeller, Gnosticism: New Light on the Ancient Tradition of Inner Knowing

though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

if ye will repent and return unto me with full purpose of heart."
