We have had a most remarkable moon for a couple of days. Yesterday and the day before the moon was red. What is the meaning of that? How would I research that? I look up several links but not much to go on. It happened in the beginning of this year and will not happen again for many years. So why was every one here talking about the red-moon. Is there something about it in the Bible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Prof R R Kelkar writes onJuly 23, 2008 at 6:37 am reflecting on the topic of “A Darkened Sun and a Red Moon” mentions:

As regards the red moon, I do not know what you have seen. But yes, there is a reference in the Bible. Jesus was often asked by people how they would know when He is going to come again. He clarified that there would be many distinct signs at that time in the skies. One was that the sun would get darkened and the other was that the moon would not give its light. However Jesus did not say anything about the red moon (Matthew Chapter 24)

It was the prophet Joel (there is his book in the Old Testament) who prophesied that at the end of this age, the sun would get darkened and the moon would appear bloody red. This is perhaps what you have been looking for. As a meteorologist I can only say that the moon could appear red because of atmospheric and optical effects and not necessarily because something happened to the moon itself.

The Prophecy of the NTBible has been fulfilled with the truthful advent of the Promised Messiah 1835-1908. Jesus survived a cursed death on Cross and he died a peaceful and natural death in India. Jesus is therefore not to come again, literally and physically, as awaited by the Christians and many Muslim.

Jesus Second Coming was to correct certain beliefs spread by the Christian priests/clergy invented by Paul at Rome. This has been fullfilled in the time of Promised Messiah 1835-1908.

The Sign of darkening of sun and moon due to eclipses of the same has also been shown.
Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian, the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat received his first revelation regarding his appointment as a the Divine Reformer in 1882. In obedience to Divine command he declared that he is the Mujaddid (Reformer) of the 14th century of the Islamic era. In 1891 he claimed, on the basis of Divine revelation to be the Promised Messiah and Mahdi whose advent was foretold by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa). He asserted that Almighty God had sent him to give spiritual life to the people. But the contemporary theologians rejected his claims and he met a storm of very violent opposition.

The prophesied eclipses then occured over Qadian on the specified dates of Ramadhan. The lunar eclipse occured after sunset on March 21st, 1894 (13th Ramadhan 1311 H) and the solar eclipse occurred on the morning of Friday April 6th, 1894 (28th Ramadhan). The Promised Messiah as then wrote the book Noorul Haq, (Light of Truth) Part-II, in which he declared that these eclipses were Divine Signs in support of his claim. The Promised Messiah (as) also drew attention in this book to several properties of the eclipses which make the signs very impressive.
