Blood Moon Iii

It tracks across the heavens this bold omen of the night. Some seeing this ecliptic were set shivering with fright. This 'Blood Moon,' full in April which own secrets deep and stark, proclaims its mystic countenance imploring from the dark. So many stare in wonder at the tetrads third portent. When next the 'Blood Moon' greets the night will men cry and relent? A face of dread like embers red, yet salient in the sky. Those seeking your true meaning, soon may glean the reason why. The shading of our silver moon four times from darkened shroud may spell the future's deep descent, or lead us forth, unbowed. The silent, crimson sentinel who from celestial height purveys symbolic knowledge as we search the sky tonight. Blood Moon III Common Verse 4-5-15

I think with faith we have an ability to see events like this with far more clarity and with a sense of awe.

The knowledge involved figuring time tables and knowing ecliptics and such boggles my mind. More will be revealed!!
