It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;
to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
(Proverbs 25:2 (NIV))

I bet that you are rather tired of all of the talk recently about the blood moons, the Shemitah, and many others things that are in the hearts and minds of the members of the Body of Christ. It seems that everyone is talking about these things. It seems that there is more talk than there is actual movement of prophecy, or so it would appear.

We are told that no man knows the hour or the day, but we can know the season.

I am sure that you have heard people say this when they are confronted with things such as the Rapture, the tribulation and anything else related to prophesy. Perhaps God is actually telling us to not get so caught up in the exact hour or day, but to study His Word so that you can recognize the season. Perhaps God is telling us to spend time with Him in His Word so that we will get to know Him better and as a result, we will know His heart and His mind. Uncovering these are the greatest treasures of all, and those who study prophesy are simply trying to know our God and Father on a more personal level. They are seeking out the matters that God has concealed. It is these very same matters that God has concealed that He is using to draw out those who truly seek Him.

God understands the concept of mystery.

Think about when you were dating. Did you learn everything that there was to know about the person all at once? For those who are married, I would bet that you are still learning things about your spouse. It keeps you attention, and God know that a little mystery will draw the hungry closer. Perhaps it is this aspect that God uses to see who truly is seeking after His heart.

Prophesy is a major portion of God’s Word. God has placed it there for our study. He has placed it there for us to search it out.

Are you searching out the mysteries contained within God’s Word?

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
(Psalms 19:1 (NIV))

Have you been paying attention?

God, in all of His majesty, has created a spectacular universe in which we live. He has set things in motion from the beginning of time. When we are young, we look up at the night sky and are amazed at the stars. We are amazed with the moon. As we grow older, we soon stop looking up and spend all of our time looking down. We look down to avoid the pitfalls of this world. We look down to hide our eyes from the gaze of others. We look down to shield our eyes from the truth.

Look up!

The stars are still spectacular. The moon is still amazing. The timing of alignments and events is something that we should pay attention to. If the heavens declare God’s glory and the skies proclaim the work of His hands, shouldn’t we look to them as a means of understanding God and His plans?

I am sure that you have at least read about the four blood moons and how they all coincide with Jewish holy days and festivals. I find it amazing that four blood moons is a very rare occurrence with the next four occurring about 500 years from now. In all of time, what are the odds that four such events will line up perfectly with the Jewish calendar and fall on the same days in consecutive years?

I know that sometimes things do happen, but with the timings of these events and the other things that are going on in the world, I honestly believe that these are not accidental alignments.

God is doing something!

To make things even more interesting, according to some of my research sources, today is the midpoint of the four blood moons. I am not professing any knowledge of something happening, but I do know that God is up to something and that He uses the heavens to provide insight. And, no, this is not some astrological mumbo-jumbo.

Is God the Creator?

Is God in control?

If you answered “Yes” to both of these questions, then what is stopping God from using His creation to declare what He is about to do?

I think that it is time that we pay attention to God’s word and His creation!
