A series of four remarkable celestial signs kicked off this year, which may hold prophetic significance for our world, and the next one arrives on Sunday night, Sept. 7, in the form of a blood moon.
This grouping of significant heavenly events could portend a message about Israel as the Jewish state enters what could be the final stage of its military campaign to defeat Hamas and free Gaza from its terrorist rulers. It has already been an eventful year since the first blood moon arrived and Israel launched an effort to end the Iranian nuclear threat, as U.S. President Donald Trump launched stealth bombers against Iran on Israel’s behalf.

Near the beginning of 2025, skywatchers had a chance to see the first blood moon, landing right on a special Jewish holy day about Israel’s deliverance from her enemies. It was visible across the U.S. for about an hour, and parts of Latin America, Africa, and Europe also caught a glimpse of the phenomenon.
That first lunar eclipse on Mar. 13-14, 2025, fell directly on Purim as the Jewish people were celebrating the biblical account of Esther in which they were delivered from annihilation at the hands of an enemy named Haman in the Persian Empire, which is modern-day Iran.
The series of four heavenly phenomena includes three lunar events, capped off by a major solar event in 2026. The next sign is set to arrive Sunday night, September 7, 2025, as the Jewish people prepare to celebrate their New Year later in the month.
Space.com reports, “The total lunar eclipse will begin globally at 11:28 a.m. (1528 GMT) on Sept. 7, with totality occurring at 1:30 p.m. ET (1730 GMT) and stretching on for a staggering 82 minutes before the deepest part of Earth’s shadow begins to slip from the surface of the lunar disk.” The eclipse will not be visible within the continental U.S.
But this second blood moon is only the halfway point. A third blood moon is ALSO set to fall directly on Purim in 2026.
Bible prophecy experts say lunar eclipses, known as “blood moons,” are tied to events that affect Israel. And with antisemitism spiking around the globe, the ongoing chaos with Hamas in Gaza, Israel’s operations to cripple of Hezbollah in Lebanon, the regime change in Syria, and the general massive Middle East shift that has followed the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, the two Purim blood moons certainly come during a pivotal, historic time.
And just as CBN News forewarned in early 2025, Israel took historic, decisive action in June to neutralize the existential threat posed by the Iranian regime in Tehran. Israel felt compelled to act swiftly as rumors abounded that Iran was close to completing a nuclear weapon that could be deployed to achieve Iran’s stated goal of annihilating the Jewish state.

A blood moon is a full lunar eclipse in which the moon can appear to be an eerie, blood-red color. Blood moons occur when Earth passes directly between the moon and the sun, preventing the sun from reflecting off the moon and casting a reddish shadow over it.
In the first such event on Mar.14, 2025, the moon turned red for more than an hour over North and South America. The second one on Sept. 7, 2025, will last 82 minutes and will be visible over Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. It lands two weeks before the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, which is a time of prayer and repentance.
Then, the third blood moon will arrive on Purim on Mar. 3, 2026. It will be visible for nearly an hour from Asia to parts of North America.

Christian leaders who study biblical prophecy, like Pastor John Hagee and Pastor Mark Biltz, have contended for years that blood moons portend significant events for Israel and the Middle East and, therefore, the entire world.
Hagee wrote a best-selling book about it called Four Blood Moons. “The heavens are ‘God’s billboard.’ He’s been sending signals to Earth, and we haven’t been picking them up,” Hagee explained a decade ago when talking about a particularly remarkable series of blood moons called a tetrad – that’s four blood moons within a span of two years.
The last time a tetrad took place was from 2014-2015, and all four of those eclipses landed directly on Jewish holidays, coming as the world endured the shocking and horrific rise of ISIS, the highly controversial Iran nuclear deal, and the previous Israeli war with Hamas.
