As I continue my study of the Book of Revelation, I have decided that I am a Partial-preterist. That means that I believe that the events written about in Revelation have already come to pass and that such events as the Abomination of Desolation and the rise of the Antichrist have already occurred. Certain events such as Judgement Day are still to be expected in the future. We have had a small earthquake in the Oklahoma City Metro area a couple of nights ago and it is said that there have been tremors around Lake Thunderbird that have gone unreported by the Geo Survey. I have felt no shaking so I can't report on any earthquake experience. California has also had a couple of small quakes today. A tropical storm headed for the U.S. gulf may turn into a hurricane by tonight. In Oklahoma we are expecting severe storms tonight and tomorrow, with the possibility of damaging hail and wind.
When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood,... (English Standard Version)
Next year and the following will see four blood moons and a simultaneous eclipse. I believe that this prophecy could be fulfilled at that time. During the four blood moons, the moon will be the color of blood-hence the name. During the eclipse phase the red moon's passage across the sun will make the sun appear black like sack cloth. During an eclipse the corona of the sun can sometimes be seen, giving the sun a "hairy appearance" (again like sack cloth). I believe that the four blood moons, could herald this event. Or at least serve as a bad omen for Israel signaling a coming war. Blood moons have often signaled significant events in Israel's history.
Other places in Revelations describe things like:
* shaking of the heavens
* earthquakes
* mountains and islands being moved out of place
* debris and smoke (which would also contribute to the moon having a crimson appearance)
This brings images to my mind of God knocking earth out of orbit. Then he slam dunks us into another dimension:
-The sun, moon and stars are gone.
-Earth rolls around in a void until the end of 'the end'.
Earth is finally annihilated with fire and all things are made again.
