As I write this article, at 3:33 am EST, The Griffith Observatory is chanting with a large group of people looking up at the Blood Red Moon..”Dragon be Gone” repeating it over and over and over….the Chinese New Year for 2024 was the Dragon, and as of March 13th, the New Year brings us the Year of the Snake….

And for good reason. The Occult Warlocks and Witches, Astrologers, Tarot Card Readers, Spiritual Advisors, Youtube Necromancers and Portal Energy Experts…they all are foretelling some really catastrophic predictions with this Blood Red Moon of March 13/14, 2025

Now, let’s make something perfectly clear here. I do not practice any of these occult religions, ideologies or predictions from spiritual advisors. Prior to becoming a Christian back in 2011, I had studied the Occult for nearly 25 years. Delving into the scientific and historical aspects of it, wondering how it all was introduced and why so many Americans and people all around the world believed in this practice and applied it in all walks of life.

Let me make this perfectly clear….The Occult, Omens, Spiritual Darkness…are more real, than the reality of you reading this article right now. As an Example…how could a Tarot Card, made of paper and ink and cardboard have such significance in ones life when a necromancer pulls that card from the deck during a reading?

When a Tarot Card Reader shows you cards that are in their deck, they “speak” to you, telling you what the card means and the influence that card can have on your life. You will “listen” to the reader, and apply what they are attempting to explain by visualizing what they are saying. Typically some type of general visualization with emphasis on relationships, career, money, luck, ect.

Scripture teaches us that Satan has the ability to communicate verbally. In the epic book of Job, God speaks to Satan and Satan answers him, indicating that Satan can “hear” the voice of GOD….let there be no mistake, he can also hear our voices. Therefore, if we were to violate the word of GOD and sit with a necromancer or an astrologer to hear and respond to their readings, Satan could be in the midst…waiting to influence you or others into making decisions that could place us into a trap that would stop us from becoming all that we could be in GOD….or even disrupt the very destiny GOD has chosen for us by not being obedient to his calling and taking our life path into a direction that could prove to be life threatening.

This shows us, that although the cards a tarot card reader has are just cardboard with symbols on them, or an astrologer prints off a Natal Chart showing you planetary alignments, that you “verbalize ” and discuss them, Satan has the opportunity to give them credibility towards his ultimate goal. For the unbeliever in Christ, that may be on a road completely away from finding Christ as Lord and Savior, and to the believer a method of accusing the Brethren of disobedience to GOD and chastisement for listening to or following the Occult.

Where do we then draw the line, as this article will contain information that some may find shocking and compromising? We draw the line in our belief that there is a GOD in heaven that sits on his throne, and controls all of the universe with just his spoken word. And, there is a spiritual darkness that GOD has placed into our world because of his demonic disobedience, and his constant harassment of Christians for a season. Or influences political leaders to the point of chaos and confusion. Satan shares this world with us, and we are his biggest stumbling block..and we must be removed, either by direct influence or through communication from GOD to HIM to do everything he can but kill us.

So please understand…in the last days that we live in, the prophetic is sounding off an alarm of biblical proportions..and so is the occult. The Apostle Paul teaches us to KNOW our enemy by putting on the full armor of GOD each and every day. To know that we do not fight against flesh and blood, but against principalities, wickedness in high places. Therefore watch, discern, pray, and stand confident in the word of GOD for his protection against what will be the most turbulent time in history.

The History of This Blood Moon of March, 2025

The cycle of the moon and its lunar eclipses are all quite in alignment with the holy feast days of Israel. This cycle is also attributed to many catastrophic time periods throughout history. As written in scripture, and with Oral Tradition of the Jewish Culture predating the first temple, the Jews meticulously recorded information and events that had happened when this blood moon would appear. They also kept track of events typically up to 3 years past the time frame of the eclipse. The Babylonian captivity and exile of the Jews occurred in multiple waves between 597 and 587 BCE following the Neo-Babylonian Empire’s conquest of the Kingdom of Judah, and ended with the Persian King Cyrus the Great allowing their return in 538 BCE.  Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, is credited in the Hebrew Bible and Jewish tradition with facilitating the return of the Jewish people to Jerusalem and allowing them to rebuild the Second Temple after their exile in Babylon. 

The Neo-Babylonian Empire, led by King Nebuchadnezzar II, besieged Jerusalem, leading to the first wave of deportations to Babylon. Following further rebellions and the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, a second, larger wave of deportations occurred, including the exile of King Zedekiah. The Persian King Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon, and he issued a decree allowing the Jewish exiles to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple.  So, in this year of the Blood Red Moon we had illegal immigrants (Jews) being deported to Babylon, and once King Cyrus conquered Babylon, he sent them back to Jerusalem

To break this down for you, there were detentions, deportations, and war amongst the Jews and the Babylonians. It was a very chaotic time frame filled with deportations and exiling the Jews from captivity in Babylon. Several Blood Red Moons appearing over the nation of Israel were recorded during this time. Scribes and Pharisees would then associate the eclipses with the masses and how it affected the people of Israel.

During this time frame, Babylonian Astrology was developed on the heels of ancient Jewish Astrology. Babylonians discovered the God of the Hebrews and wanted to have one of their own with such power and glory as Yahweh. Their sorcerers and necromancers were intrigued and in awe of the God of the Hebrews and also knew of the constellations that Hebrews used for the Holy Feast Days that they even celebrated during captivity.

On the basis of their observations and calculations, the Babylonians divided the sky into twelve areas, each of which was assigned a figure, a name, and a specific meaning. This became the zodiac with its twelve zodiac signs such as Aries, Gemini, Virgo, or Leo.

Other oral traditions suggest that:

The “Gospel in the Stars” Theory: This theory posits that God named the constellations and stars long ago, conveying a message of the gospel through them. 

God’s Revelation to Early Humans: Some believe God communicated His plan of redemption to early humans like Adam or Seth, who then named the stars and constellations as a testament to this plan. 

Biblical References: The Bible mentions God’s creation of the stars and their use for signs and seasons (Genesis 1:14).

Job 9:8-9 mentions God creating Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades. 

Job 38:32 references bringing forth the constellations (Mazzaroth) in their season. 

Psalm 147:4 states that God assigns names to the stars. 

Other Theories:

Some Persian and Arabian traditions attribute the invention of astronomy to Adam, Seth, and Enoch. 

Some scholars suggest the signs of the zodiac and names of stars were created as a mnemonic device by these forefathers of the Hebrews to tell the story of the Bible. 

Needless to say, the predictions and the “unknown” was a valuable commodity during ancient biblical times, and indicated how GOD would communicate to his people, and to the masses of unbelievers. As stated , some used these as signs and appointed times that GOD showed favor, and blessed the land by making it fertile enough to plant crops.

The Babylonians however wanted this power as a way to control an empire…to remain one step ahead of their enemy..and to conquer the tribes and control the masses. And they accomplished just that for a period of time using the appointed times in the stars, planetary alignments showing the naked eye attributes they needed leading to their military success.

During this time frame of this Blood Red Moon, the Babylonians learned of flooding, and recorded such descriptions as “the dikes will be broken”

When this blood red moon showed itself during the time of Queen Esther, the King was assassinated after his compassion for allowing the Jewish People exile in Babylonian territory also known as modern day Iran.

For that reason, this Blood Red Moon cycle was recorded and known for its significance 6 months prior to and 6 months after for the Kings of the world, and their untimely departures through assassination, health or hidden matters. These matters were often discussed in hidden ways, preparing in private what must be told to the masses so that they would not attempt to try and overthrow the leadership of their bondage.

With the recent removal of President Joe Biden, and the cover up of his decline mentally, one could easily come to the conclusion that his staff was the power behind the “throne” and was signing his executive orders without his knowledge. Very few televised meetings are recorded of Biden signing EO’s. One piece of evidence is a interview that was obtained by speaker of the house Mike Johnson….

When the Kings of the earth would be removed or disappeared allowing a dynasty to continue, communication between the family that was hidden was revealed. The best example of this was when Esther took the throne as Queen. The Jewish People contended that she had betrayed them. But in deed, after her persuasion and flattery to the King, she became his wife. She could then proclaim to her fellow brothers and sisters that all was saved. This marked a new way on how officials spoke to the masses and included a woman who in the culture of arabic and biblical times, would have remained silent. Instead, it was looked upon as a new way to keep the masses happy and joyful, or controled and oppressed..

It is during this time of this cycle of Blood Red Moons, that the spoken word is changed, and judgements from it will be assessed. Freedom of speech is such a precious commodity in America. But we also know that media outlets have used it to attempt to remove a Presidential Candidate from the campaign, using incitements that nearly cost him his life.

During this same Blood Red Moon Cycle, and at times leading up to it..there have been significant events in America that seem all too familiar with what we are facing today.

Look at this chart below. This same cycle Blood Red Moon appeared over the United States in Jan of 1861….

Just a few short months later…Civil War was declared. During this cycle, two more Lunar Eclipses occured, a rare event respectively in June and July of the same year. Just 4 years later, Lincoln was assassinated on April 14th, 1865.

Once again, a “King” of the world had been removed. His assassination was rumored to have been planned at a local tavern when Booth entered and discussed the plans with a White House Astrologer whom Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of the 16th president, was known to openly dabble in Spiritualism with. So, she turned to mediums. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and Lincoln biographer David Herbert Donald used surviving documents to calculate that the first lady may have held eight séances in the White House.Apr 24, 2024

The White House has hosted its share of prominent people: politicians, writers, musicians, scientists––and mediums.

Reflecting Americans’ belief in spirits unseen, some of the country’s first families held séances at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They nursed their grief with the help of mediums, demonstrating that séances aren’t only about the deceased; they’re also about the living.

Spiritualism comes to the White House

On January 6, 1853, newly elected president Franklin Pierce and his wife Jane experienced every parent’s worst nightmare. Their only surviving child, 11-year-old Bennie, died in a horrific train accident in Massachusetts.

ane Pierce struggled to adapt to life without her child. She even wrote him letters as she secluded herself in her private quarters in the White House.

As Pierce fiercely mourned her son, a new religious movement took root across the country: Spiritualism, or the belief that the living could communicate with the dead. As historian Molly McGarry wrote in Ghosts of Futures Past, “a faith in Spiritualism and the experience that the dead continued to connect with the living” resonated in an America with an extensive mourning culture and “allowed some 19th-century Americans a new way of being in the world.”

Spiritualisms’ popularity stemmed partly from 15-year-old Maggie and 11-year-old Katie Fox, sisters from Hydesville, New York. Though the pair lived relatively ordinary lives with their large family, they soon began making extraordinary claims. In 1848, they alleged that mysterious rappings in their family’s home came from a supernatural source: discarnate spirits. The sisters insisted they could communicate with them, interpreting the noises as a spectral form of Morse code.

The Fox sisters’ allegations electrified Americans eager to connect with deceased loved ones—individuals such as Jane Pierce. Fascinated by their narrative, she invited them to Washington.

No one knows what exactly occurred between Pierce and the Fox sisters. But the White House session may have mirrored the Fox sisters’ other séances, which commenced with guests sitting in a circle, holding one another’s hands, and reciting a prayer. Then, the rappings would begin, and the sisters would allegedly lift the veil on the spirit world.

The Lincolns’ many tears

National and personal tragedy converged in the thick of the Civil War when Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln buried one of their children. On February 20, 1862, 11-year-old Willie Lincoln died in the White House after battling typhoid fever for weeks.

The boy’s death devastated both his parents, but Mary Todd Lincoln’s grief was especially debilitating. She stayed in bed for weeks and couldn’t bear to attend his funeral. But even when she rejoined society, Lincoln longed for a reunion with her deceased son.

So, she turned to mediums. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and Lincoln biographer David Herbert Donald used surviving documents to calculate that the first lady may have held eight séances in the White House. One occurred in December 1862, when Lincoln hosted the medium Nettie Colburn for a séance in the Red Room. Colburn later claimed that the president joined the séance––and that, in her trance-like state, she didn’t limit herself to communicating with Willie Lincoln. Instead, the spirits she channeled urged the president to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which they predicted would “be the crowning event of his administration and his life.”

Sessions with Colburn and other mediums stoked the first lady’s faith that souls survive death. She even saw Willie in her dreams. “Willie lives,” she told her half-sister Emilie Todd Helm. “He comes to me every night and stands at the foot of the bed with the same sweet, adorable smile he always has had.”

The last gasp of spiritualism

The White House was again in a state of mourning during the presidency of Calvin Coolidge in 1924. Coolidge’s 16-year-old son Calvin played a game of tennis––but he wasn’t wearing socks with his shoes. A blister formed on a toe and festered, and the infection turned septic. He died on July 7.

So, did the Coolidge’s employ a medium to contact their son? Harry Houdini, the famous illusionist, believed they had. He deplored spiritualism, séances, and mediums, all of which underwent a revival in the wake of World War I and the influenza pandemic. He was on a quest to expose mediums and psychics as the charlatans he believed them to be.

His greatest show in 1926 was when he testified in a Congressional hearing considering a ban on fortune-tellers. During the hearing, it was alleged that Jane Coates, a medium in Washington, D.C., had said, “I know for a fact that there have been spiritual séances held at the White House with President Coolidge and his family.” Coolidge’s friends vehemently denied the allegation, drawing a clear line between what was acceptable––and what wasn’t. Séances, it seemed, crossed the line of respectability in a changing America.

By World War II, spiritualism no longer attracted the acolytes it once had, and White House séances became a curious footnote in history.

We then have some eerie coincidences with the 1928 Lunar Eclipse directly over the United States. The effect of this March Lunar Eclipse in 1928 also had a near 3 year term that ushered the world into the Great Depression, the crash of the stock market, the introduction of new Tariffs that were supposed to protect the industries and farmers of America from failing, and then shortly after the Great Depression farmers were decimated with the Dust Bowl that took out farmers from all across the United States.

Following the Dust Bowl, was the beginning stages of World War II.

In conclusion, there are some very important factors we must consider into the judgements that our country has seen over the vast majority of the last 100 years. Sin has increased dramatically. Culture has shifted towards a Noah and Lot society where Gays and Lesbians are celebrated in Pride, where Transgenderism is celebrated in pride. Where everywhere we turn, it feels as if right is wrong..and wrong is right. Technology has advanced so much, that what we knew 100 yearsa go seems more like 1,000 years ago.

If GOD is a GOD of divine order, and he allows man to repent or advance into a time frame where he alone decides the outcome…as a nation, the masses should be very concerned. We have entered a time frame that is above all, the worst culturally than any time before. Our sin as a nation has filled the cup of inequity.

And it’s just a matter of time before Christ comes for his Bride, and the final countdown begins for those who refused or repented. You don’t have to be one of those who will be left to suffer through the Great Tribulation. Repent of your sin, ask forgiveness of that sin, accept and believe that Jesus died for you, and that his holy spirit will come and dwell inside of you..and your life..will be saved.
