Acts 2:19-22
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

 

Signs in the Sun and Moon Discerning the Times and Seasons.

Since the spring of 1996, there have been consecutive lunar eclipses on every major full moon feast day of Israel. The first eclipse in the series fell on Passover April 3rd, 1996. The second, The Eve of the Feast of Tabernacles, September 27th, 1996. (The typological significance of these two Holy Days is discussed here.) The third will occur on Purim, March 23rd, 1997. These 3 eclipses will have taken place within the span of one Biblical year. These lunar eclipses are a sign in the
heavens, calling our attention to these Holy Days of Israel - Passover, Tabernacles, and Purim.

From the beginning of the Jewish Civil New Year, which began in September of 1996, until Passover in 1999, there will be a sign which will not occur again for 11,000 years. The new moon will rise from the horizon directly in the constellation of Virgo and move within 24 hours to the feet of this constellation. The sun will be just below the horizon, seeming to clothe the woman with the sun. This configuration of the constellation Virgo, giving birth to the moon will not occur for 11,000 years because of the precession of the equinoxes. The new moon is very significant to the Talmudic Jews because it is the basis of their calendar system. It is believed to symbolize the Messiah.

Not only will this past Jewish religious year have begun and ended with a lunar eclipse on it's first and last Holy Days, but it also will have been a year neatly bracketed by consecutive
appearances of comets. The comet Hyukatake was at its closest
approach to Earth on Passover 1996, and the comet Hale-Bopp
will be at the same point in the sky as its heavenly predecessor
on Passover 1997.
