Does blood red moon on Election Day carry meaning that is more than meets the eye?

MANSFIELD — A lunar eclipse will turn the moon a blood-red color in North America on Tuesday, November 8th between 5:16-6:41 AM EDT. For the first time in recorded history, a lunar eclipse is set to occur on Election Day before Ohioans go to the polls.

Total lunar eclipses, commonly known as a “blood moon,” only happen during full moons when the Earth completely shields the moon from the sun. Once the sun, Earth, and moon are exactly aligned, light form simultaneous sunrises and sunsets around the Earth project onto the moon, briefly causing a red appearance.

Given the magnitude of unanswered questions that remain from the 2020 Presidential Election, the parallels to recent U.S. election history are uncanny.

According to a Newsweek article, in ancient Mesopotamia, a lunar eclipse was considered a direct assault on the king. Given their ability to predict an eclipse with reasonable accuracy, they would put in place a proxy king for its duration. Someone considered to be expendable (it was not a popular job,) would pose as the monarch, while the real king would go into hiding and wait for the eclipse to pass. The proxy king would then conveniently disappear, and the old king be reinstated.

Interestingly, President Donald J. Trump was born on June 14, 1946. a day that also experienced a blood moon!

The next lunar eclipse will not take place until March 14, 2025.

The Bottom Line:

The Bible says in the Book of Revelation, “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood….”
