This is an article about the coming judgements of God. During 2014 and 2015 it is a Shemita year. During that time frame there are 4 blood moons and a total solar eclipse in the middle of the 4 blood moons. These are signs from heaven that something is about to happen. What will happen only God knows. However, we can clearly see these warning signs of judgement.
This article covers the Shemita and the blood moons on a high level overview. For more in depth information. Look for videos and teaching from Jonathan Cahn and Mark Biltz.
Alul 29 also applies to a nation which once knew God but turned away from Him. The United States was once a great Christian nation. This nation rose to be a major world power. However, today we can see that they have rejected God and turned their backs on Him. God has sent several warnings of coming judgment.
2001 (5761) was a Shemita year. After 911 on the 17th of September there was a 7 percent loss on the stock market. This occurred on the last day of the Shemita, Alul 29. I believe God removed protection from the USA and allowed 911 to occur. This was a traumatic event in the USA. For a few short weeks people again started to attend church. But there was no repentance before God and the people turned further away from God. They continue to reject God increasingly to this very day. So after 911 Aul 29, came up and the stock crash occurred.
2008 (5768) was also a Shemita year. On September 29, 2008 the day also was Alul 29 on the Hebrew calender. The stock market plunged down 777 points which was also 7 percent. This occurred 7 years after the 2001 Shemita year.
We are coming up to another Shemita year. It starts September 25, 2014 and it ends September 13, 2015. Just like the two previous Alul 29 days in the Shemita year, September 2015 is another occurrance. September 13, 2015 (Sunday 5775) is Alul 29 on the Jewish calendar. The financial collapse of the US dollar may happen on Sept 13, 2015. Whatever happens it will be an economic disaster. It could also affect commerce and the housing market etc.
There are more signs of impending judgement.
As these verses say one of the purposes God created the sun and the moon was for signs in the heavens. God is communicating to the people of earth through these signs. As Joel says there will be signs in the heavens before the return of the Lord and judgement.
Here is a description of the coming signs in the heavens for all to see.
During 2014 and 2015 there will be four blood moons. All these blood moons occur on the Lords feast days of Passover and Feast of Tabernacles.
These 4 blood moons in a row are called a Tetrad. This is a sign from heaven that something big will occur to change the world.
The last two tetrads occurred in 1948 when Israel became a nation. After that the next tetrad occurred in 1967 the year that Israel recaptured Jerusalem.
There is another tetrad coming during 2014 and 2015. The first blood moon happened on April 14, 2014 on the Jewish Passover. After this blood moon Hamas began to attack Israel and the war against Gaza began.
There may very well be wars or a significant event to occur after each of the following blood moons in the tetrad.
Here is a list of the blood moons during the time period of 2014 and 2015:
April 14, 2014 Passover - first blood moon. In year 6 of the 7 year cycle
October 8, 2014 the Feast of Tabernacles - second blood moon - in the Shemita
April 4, 2015 the Jewish Passover - third blood moon - in the Shemita
September 28, 2015 the Feast of Tabernacles - forth blood moon. Occurs in the first year of the next 7 year cycle. This will be an unusual event that has never occurred. There will be a blood moon and a super moon together. The super moon occurs when in the moons orbit to earth, is closest. As a result it looks 14 percent bigger. This last blood moon will also be seen in Israel.
These blood moons are signs that things are going to happen. It could be wars or something else. It is possible Israel will be in a war and its territory will again expand as the armies that attack are defeated. Again, only God knows what these signs will produce here on earth.
Solar eclipses are associated with judgement of the nations. Here is a list of the coming solar eclipses.
October 23, 2014 is a partial solar eclipse
March 20, 2015 there will be a total solar eclipse. This usually means trouble for the world. The interesting fact is this full solar eclipse occurs right in the middle of the 4 blood moons.
September 13, 2015 on Elul 29 there will be a partial solar eclipse
As you know the tribulation is a 7 year period which starts when the antichrist signs a peace covenant with Israel. This 7 year period is tied to a 7 year cycle with the last year being the Shemita. On September 13, 2015 the Shemita for this cycle of 7 years ends and a new 7 year cycle begins. If the tribulation does not start after the Shemita of 2014 - 2015, then the tribulation must wait for another 7 year cycle to complete before it starts. In light of those facts, I believe there is a very strong chance the tribulation will begin after the Shemita of 2014-2015. This is not date setting but is following God's 7 year cycles. It is also interesting that there are major signs in the heavens now during the 2014 - 2015 7 year cycle. I'm referring to the blood moons and the solar eclipses. We could be on the verge of the rapture, the revealing of the antichrist, and the 7 year peace covenant with Israel which starts another 7 year cycle.
Here is some food for thought. The rapture must occur before the antichrist is revealed. After that the antichrist rises to power. What I am saying is the antichrist will not be revealed and then sign the covenant of peace with Israel the next day. Some time is required after the antichrist is revealed for him to rise to a world leadership position. Also, during this time the UFO's (the demonic) will be openly manifested for all to see. New technologies will be given to the world. People will be in awe of the antichrist. All this takes time. Will it require 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more months? Also, Israel will accept the antichrist as their Messiah, at first. This means after the rapture some amount of time must pass before the start of the tribulation. Only God knows how much time will be required. This means if the tribulation starts at the end of this Shemita 7 year cycle, the rapture must occur sometime before with enough time for the antichrist to be setup and be in a position to sign the 7 year peace covenant with Israel. The next 7 year cycle starts on September 14, 2015. Will that be the first day of the tribulation or will the tribulation start 7 years later?
Let me repeat this thought in another way. A week is a period of 7 days. It always starts on a Sunday and the seventh day is always a Saturday. As we have seen God has setup a 7 year cycle of years with the seventh year being the Shemita year. The tribulation period is a 7 year cycle. It is not going to start in the midst of a 7 year cycle. Instead the 7 year tribulation period will be a 7 year cycle starting after the last day of the Shemita of the previous 7 year cycle. Since the last day of the Shemita (Alul 29) is September 13, 2015, the next 7 year cycle will start on September 14, 2015. Could that be the first day of the tribulation? I believe the Lord's coming is very soon, so it is very possible September 14, 2015 is the first day of the tribulation. If not we must wait through another 7 year cycle for the tribulation to begin. If it doesn't start then, we must again wait for another 7 years. Now the 4 blood moons and 3 solar eclipses are warnings of something. Therefore I think it is very possible the rapture will occur before September 13, 2015 so the tribulation can start September 14, 2015.
Rabbi Jonathan Cahn wrote a book on the Harbingers of judgement. It is interesting that even the last one has now come to pass. The USA is a nation that once knew God but has turned away from God. Therefore God has sent warnings to encourage the nation to turn back to Himself. Sadly, the opposite has happened. The last harbinger warning is the destruction of the sycamore tree. When 911 happened a church at ground zero survived. This was the same place that George Washington consecrated the USA to God. Here is how the church was preserved from destruction. The shock wave from 911 was absorbed by a large sycamore tree. The tree was destroyed and the church survived. The stump of the sycamore tree was put on display. After 911 three politicians gave speeches saying that they would rebuild and be stronger. This is the same as quoted above in Isaiah 9:10. Two years later, in place of the sycamore tree another tree was brought in and planted. They had a ceremony around the tree and it was called the tree of hope. As the years past, the tree began to wither and die. Nothing could be done to save this tree. The tree was completely dead just before Passover in 2014. On Passover day they tree was removed and destroyed. This reenactment of Isaiah 9:10 is a major sign of the nearness of judgement. This is another reason why it is possible that the 7 year tribulation could start at the end of this 7 year cycle on September 14, 2015.
There could be a financial crash on September 13, 2015 (Alul 29). Again only God knows for certain what will happen related to Alul 29, 2015 and the 4 blood moons with the 3 solar eclipses. In Bible prophecies of the very last days the USA is not even mentioned. It is possible that the USA will be destroyed or reduced to a very weak nation at that time. It is possible that the St Andres fault or the New Madrid fault could have a major earthquake. The super volcano at Yellowstone could erupt. It is possible that nuclear bombs could hit the USA taking their world power status down. There is a reason the USA is not mentioned in the last days Bible prophecies.
Finally the coming tetrad of blood moons is a rare occurrance. There will not be another tetrad for over 400 years in the future. This makes the current tetrad of blood moons significant and unique.

Finally in light of all this if you are not yet a Christian, it is now time to receive the Lord Jesus as your Saviour. Salvation is totally free and can be received by a repentant heart. If you want to be saved and be with the Lord Jesus say the following and mean it with all your heart.
Lord Jesus,
I admit that I am a sinner. I realize that sin has a penalty of separation from God and an eternity in the lake of fire. Right now I turn from my sins and receive the Lord Jesus as my only Saviour. Lord Jesus come into my heart and life and save me. I trust in you alone for salvation and to be my Lord and my Saviour. Amen
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
