Australians Call Them "Bad Moons"
I just got done posting the previous post on blood moons that I plucked off Google News...and after I went back to Google I found yet another article further down the page talking about the "bad moons."
Most of us have watched a sunrise. Few have seen a moon rise. Even fewer have witnessed a bad moon rising such as will be able to be seen at sunset on Tuesday, April 15.
Take a deck chair or banana lounge and find a spot with a clear view to the east, so you can see right down to the distant hills or horizon. However, be ready for a shock, for there will be something wrong with our natural satellite. By all rights, we should be expecting a dazzling full moon to come over the horizon and bathe all in its sparkling cool light. It may take a little time to clear the hills or the horizon, but when it does, you will be in no doubt that this is not the moon you were expecting.
Many renowned authors over the years have written about our celestial neighbour in glowing romantic terms. This is not one of those. It is a dark, sinister moon, perhaps best captured in words from the Bible, Shakespeare and John Fogarty, of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
The Bard's narrative in the garden scene of Romeo and Juliet may have nailed it as being ''sick and pale with grief''. Shakespeare could have seen such a moon in his lifetime.
In the popular song written by Fogarty, the lyrics are imbedded with ominous premonitions of a ''bad moon rising'' as a menacing warning.
A total eclipse of the moon is not so special in itself, but what is remarkable this time is that the moon will rise over the eastern horizon already immersed in the full darkness of Earth's shadow.
This does not occur with any frequency and I cannot recall seeing a recent lunar eclipse that exhibited this phenomenon. As the evening progresses, however, our luminous natural satellite will regain the lustre associated with a full moon and by about 8.30pm it will resemble its old normal self.

Clearly, this author believes that this coming "bad moon" will be a 'remarkable' event because of how rare the view is going to be.
So again, ask yourselves...do these 4 coming blood moons along with 2 solar eclipses that ALL happen in the next 18 months and ALL fall on Jewish Feast days...are they announcing judgment to some nation or people?....or is it all just a random, solar-lunar coincidence?
