This Week on the Hal Lindsey Report | Also: Is The Blood Moon A Divine Sign For Israel? Hagee Explains the Blood Moons
Oct 11 2014
Again, no video from Hal but here is his weekly newsletter as well as an article peretaining to the blood moons and its possible significance for Israel and Christians. Enjoy!
This week on ‘The Hal Lindsey Report’
Ebola, ISIS, and Israel, three names you’ll hear if you watch my television program this week. Not just because they’re three of the hottest stories in the news, but because I believe each has a significant role in the end-times scenario.
In chapter 21, Luke quotes Jesus as saying that in the last days, “there will be famines and pestilences.” The Greek word used here and translated “pestilences” refers to both virulent plagues and pests. It fits a variety of outbreaks we’ve seen across the world in recent years, even months, including the bizarre monkey infestation in New Delhi, India, the AIDS pandemic, and now Ebola.
The Washington Post reports that, “The virus could potentially infect 1.4 million people in Liberia and Sierra Leone by the end of January.” That’s just over three months, folks. Recently, Dr. David Nabarra, the United Nations Special Envoy overseeing its efforts to combat Ebola said, “This is a disease outbreak that is advancing in an exponential fashion.”
Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “exponential growth” as “characterized by or being an extremely rapid increase.” Jesus described the signs of His return as being like a pregnant woman’s “birth pangs,” meaning that they would increase in frequency and intensity as the day approaches.
I’m no rocket scientist, but I’m thinking those two descriptions are eerily similar. And lest we think the Atlantic and Pacific oceans protect America from this deadly pestilence, America’s first Ebola death occurred just this past week — and even now scores of people who had some contact with this one man, Thomas Eric Duncan, are either in quarantine or are being “observed” for symptoms.
Modern transportation, global commerce, and politically correct national leaders guarantee that America is, indeed, no longer immune to the ravages of this modern-day scourge, or any of a variety of other pandemics.
Speaking of scourges, is there any other way to describe ISIS or any of its burgeoning network of “affiliates?” Yes, there is. You’ve heard me say it many times before: demonic! These terrorist demons are committed to destroying anything that stands in the way of an Islamic Caliphate. That includes all secular or apostate Muslims, all Christians, all Jews, Israel, and the United States.
So how do any or all of the above targets successfully combat this demonic, Islamic scourge? Here’s a hint: Don’t do what this administration (and most of the west) is doing. Infrequent, nighttime-only airstrikes of non-essential targets will not get the job done.
Only when our leaders are compelled to recognize and actually acknowledge who the enemy is, then commit as completely to destroying them as as they’re committed to destroying us, do we have any hope of defeating them.
Oh yeah, as in the case of Ebola, don’t be misled into thinking ISIS cannot pose a danger to Americans. Its influence on our shores has already been felt. A few days ago, a grandmother in Moore, Oklahoma, became its first victim.
Did you ever believe you’d hear me say these words? Islamic beheadings have come to America.
Of course, it doesn’t help to have national leadership that can look at all the crises enveloping the world and our nation and decide that the issue that needs to be urgently addressed is Israel’s decision to build 2,500 apartments in Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem.
First, it’s none of our business. Second, we’d never tolerate another nation attempting to dictate where or how we provide housing and comfort for our own citizens. Here’s a scary thought: A nation’s survival often depends on its priorities because we expend our valuable efforts and influence on the things that are most important to us. I’m just saying….
Finally, you’ve often heard me quote the Bible’s admonition that we are to be “watchmen on the wall,” warning others of coming dangers, either spiritual, moral, or physical.
Appropriate to the times in which we live, the Bible also has a warning regarding those “watchmen.” In Psalm 127:1, the writer cautions: “Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.”
Many of the “watchmen” that America has placed on its walls have done a good job of warning us about the approaching dangers. The unfortunate truth is that many of those warnings have fallen on deaf ears or have been blatantly ignored by our leaders.
Lately, the blame has been flying thick and heavy over the “unexpected” rise of ISIS and the imminent threat posed by Ebola. Once again, the unfortunate truth is that our watchmen have been faithfully and regularly issuing dire warnings to our leaders. Plainly put, those warnings have been ignored, either intentionally or out of arrogance, ignorance, incompetence, or political correctness.
I don’t think you can deny that God has providentially protected our nation throughout its history. But I also believe that He will not remain patient with us forever. Dangers — and enemies — that we have traditionally assumed would never reach our shores, now walk among us or lurk in our shadows.
Folks, there is only one place to be truly secure, and that is in Christ. In this crazy, mixed-up, and darkening world, we have only one true hope — to fully put our faith in Jesus Christ and His power to redeem us and keep us until we join Him in heaven.
If you have not chosen that place of safety by accepting Jesus Christ and the free gift of pardon that His death on Calvary purchased for you, do it right now.
Please don’t ignore this watchman’s warning.
Don’t miss this week’s Report here Sunday.
God Bless,

Is The Blood Moon A Divine Sign For Israel?
SAN ANTONIO — The Book of Genesis says God uses the sun, moon, and stars for signs and seasons. Examples can be found throughout the Bible.
Think of how a star led the wise men to Jesus or how the sun stood still as Joshua led Israel to victory over its enemies.
According to Pastor John Hagee, God is getting ready to speak this way once again.
“There’s a sense in the world that things are changing and God is trying to communicate with us in a supernatural way,” Hagee told CBN News.
“I believe that in these next two years, we’re going to see something dramatic happen in the Middle East involving Israel that will change the course of history in the Middle East and impact the whole world,” he predicted.
Four Blood Moons
In his latest book, Four Blood Moons: Something Is About to Change, Hagee lays out what he calls celestial signals. He describes how a series of blood moons in 2014 and 2015 will have great significance for Israel.
Although single blood moons happen fairly regularly, four appearing so closely together is extremely rare. There have only been a series of blood moons a handful of times over the past 500 years.
So what exactly is a blood moon and what is the biblical significance?
“A blood moon is when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon,” Hagee explained. “And the sun is shining through the atmosphere of the Earth and casts up on the moon a red shadow. And so the moon appears to be red.”
Such moons appear several times in scripture.
In the book of Joel, God says there will be “wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire…the sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.”
In Acts, the Apostle Peter repeats that verse from Joel. And the book of Revelation says that during the Great Tribulation, “the moon will become like blood.”
Blood moons are set to appear in April 2014, on Passover, and then again in October 2014 during the Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot.
The timing is the same for 2015 — a total of four blood moons, all appearing on Jewish feast days.
“The sun and the moon and the Earth are controlled by God almighty,” Hagee said. “He is the one that is getting them in a direct alignment on a certain day at a certain time — but each time, it’s a Passover or Sukkot.
Historic Significance
In the past, the rare appearance of four blood moons on these feast days has coincided with major events for Israel and the Jewish people.
In 1492, Spain expelled the Jews. Columbus also discovered America, which became a safe haven for the Jewish people.
“In each of these blood moons, you have something that begins in tragedy and ends in triumph,” Hagee explained.
For instance, in 1948, Israel was reborn as a nation.
“After 2,000 years, God supernaturally brought them from 66 nations and a nation was born in a day,” Hagee noted. “That again was a supernatural something that happened following the tragedy of the Holocaust.”
In 1967, Israel won the Six-Day War and recaptured Jerusalem.
“For the first time in 2,000 years, Jerusalem and the State of Israel were together again,” Hagee said.
Nuclear Threat
The blood moons of 2014 and 2015 are poised to appear as Iran works toward nuclear weapons and Israel’s neighbors, Egypt and Syria, are in chaos.
“The only reason that Iran will not acquire a nuclear bomb will be that Israel chooses a military solution to that crisis,” Hagee told CBN News.
“I believe that if that happens, it will start a series of events that will change the course of world history,” he said. “If Israel does not, then it will still change the course of world history.”
Hagee has been warning of the Iranian nuclear threat through his work with Christians United for Israel, which he founded in 2006. It is now the largest pro-Israel organization in America, with some 1.3 million members.
He holds nights to honor Israel across the country and at San Antonio’s Cornerstone Church, where he serves as senior pastor. The first event, in 1981, drew bomb threats and vandalism from anti-Semites.
Yet Hagee continues his mission.
“If there was ever a time for the Christians of America to stiffen their spine and stand up and speak up, it’s now,” Hagee admonished. “To see evil and not call it evil is evil. Not to speak is to speak. We cannot be silent and receive God’s approval at a time like this.”
He said it’s still unclear what the coming blood moons will bring, but he is certain of one thing.
“When all is said and done, the flag of Israel will be flying over the walls of the city of Jerusalem when Messiah comes, and it’s going to be forever,” he said. “And every nation that rises up in judgment against Israel God will punish and punish severely.”
