…25And from every high mountain and every raised hill, streams of water will flow in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter— like the light of seven days— on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He inflicted. 27Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke.

January 2019 lunar eclipse: How to watch the super blood wolf moon eclipse
Starting on Sunday, Jan. 20, a total lunar eclipse, or blood moon, that coincides with a supermoon will be visible over the entire United States.
Technically, it could be called a super blood wolf moon eclipse.
The next total lunar eclipse happens on May 26, 2021
We are at a time where even the world is looking up at celestial signs, the Blood Moon, and admiring the two Morning Stars coming together. Yet, when we look up, does it remind us of the time, prophecy, Christ's promises, the next chapter, or that we should shine bright for our Father? The heavens are drawing specific attention to celestial pictures that the book of Revelation finishes with. Has it caught our attention and focus - what promise those pictures are connected with?

Keys to Biblical Understanding - TIME
Time is part of Creation; it has properties and laws of nature that it follows. As part of the natural world, those properties can be changed - if God allows it. This principle is important in seeing how this was done in the past, and how it will play a part in prophecy, particular near events. We also see amazing connections with time and the celestial clock, being rehearsed right now.  Maranatha!

1 Corinthians 10:13 
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
2 Kings 19:30-31 
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Ezra 9:8 
And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.


  But now, for a brief moment, grace has come from the LORD our God to preserve for us a remnant and to give us a stake in His holy place. Even in our bondage, our God has given us new life and light to our eyes.

Luke 18:15-17  - And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

One World Trade Center lit pink in celebration of New York abortion law. “The Reproductive Health Act is a historic victory for New Yorkers and for our progressive values,” the governor said in a statement. “I am directing that New York’s landmarks be lit in pink to celebrate this achievement and shine a bright light forward for the rest of the nation to follow.”

It was one thing for state leaders to carry out their threat against the unborn, and another thing altogether to revel in it -- cheering wildly as Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) signed the warrant for the execution of more innocents. In a state where the womb was already the most dangerous place for a child, this law begins a new era. Open season on our own. From now on, nothing stands in the way of a woman taking her baby's life -- days, hours, or even a minute before she's born. A fully grown, healthy human baby that thousands of struggling couples would give anything to have.
That's the savagery New York leaders call "progress." That's the "achievement" Cuomo turned into a pink beacon, shining "a bright light forward for the rest of the nation to follow." https://www.frc.org/updatearticle/20190124/empire-state
The reality of what New York has just done is starting to settle over the country like an uneasy fog. For Americans, even in states miles away, the horror of it all feels personal. In one dark night, lit only by a pink pointer in the sky, we all had a moment to lament what New York has become and what all of America would look like under the policies of liberals like Governor Andrew Cuomo. https://www.frc.org/updatearticle/20190125/status-cuomo
