Appointed times set out in Leviticus 23:2 marks key “Feast” or Festival dates in the Judaic Calendar. In 2014 & 2015 these major Jewish feast days coincide with 2 Solar eclipses & and a series of 4 total lunar eclipses.
Online you can see many references to the ‘tetrad’ of four consecutive lunar eclipses happening now.
Is it a coincidence that this eclipse series, which began 14 April 14 has seen historical global shifts. We’ve seen major extremist terrorist uprisings in the Middle East spreading to high profile incidents across the globe from Australia, Canada, Denmark & Paris. We’ve also seen major political changes and escalation in domestic & international conflicts. Will this be checked or continue to grow & escalate?
At this mid-point, it’s s worth observing what significant events unfold around these astronomical signs. Given that Israel is the biblical timepiece we should observe the Middle East more closely to understand biblical prophecy.
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years” Genesis 1:14

A special circumstance of this Total Solar eclipse on March 20, 2015 is that it ends at the North Pole on the Spring Equinox. This is the day when the Sun first appears above the Horizon at the North Pole and this rare combination is calculated not to occur again for many thousands of years. This is also the date that commemorates the birth of the Nation of Israel – Exodus 12:2 Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2"This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you.
