Pastor John Hagee wrote Four Blood Moons: Something Is About To Change – a book that asserts his belief that God-created events in the skies directly correlate with major events down on Earth – which was recently adapted for the big screen.

Pastor John Hagee On Blood Moons

Four Blood Moons, produced by Hagee and Rick Eldridge and directed by Kieth Merrill, explores the contentious theories that Hagee puts forth in his book. The feature-length film primarily focuses on the creation of the State of Israel, with a large amount of credit given to God and the higher power’s purported creation of blood moons.

“A blood moon is when the sun shines through the Earth’s atmosphere onto the moon and it causes the moon to have a blood red appearance. Being in a direct alignment is something that only God can do,” Hagee told uInterview in an exclusive interview.

“They relate to the State of Israel and the Bible because each of these blood moons appears either on Passover or the feast of tabernacles,” Hagee added, speaking of the last four blood moons. “Those are on exact dates that God himself established in the Old Testament thousands of years ago. Only God can get the Earth, the sun, and the moon in an alignment on a specific day that he predicted thousands of years ago. That is the unique mystery of this film and of this book.”

Hagee is dismissive of comparisons between the astronomy he claims to study and astrology, the study of the stars that results in horoscope signs and readings.

“The difference between astrology and astronomy is that astrology is a false science. Astrology leads to the worship of the stars,” Hagee says. “Astronomy is the study of the stars by which sailors have been crossing the ocean for centuries. It is a specific science that has great value to the planet. The bible says, God speaking, that he calls the stars by name. So there’s a difference between worshiping the stars and worshiping the god who created the stars. An entirely different thing. ”

Though Hagee sees little connection between astronomy and astrology, particularly in terms of blood moons, he does see a strong and enduring connection between Christians and the Jewish people of Israel. Quoting Bible verses, the Christians United For Israel head says that Christians were destined to help the Jewish people.

“The connection between Christians and Israel is the Bible. […] Christians are to speak up and to defend the state of Israel. Not to speak is to speak. To see evil and not call it evil, is evil,” said Hagee. “The Jewish people have given to us the patriarchs, the Old Testament prophets. They have given to us the word of God. They have given to us the first family of Christianity: Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. The twelve apostles and Saint Paul. If you take away the Jewish contribution from Christianity, we wouldn’t exist. That’s the connection between Christianity and the Jewish people.”

For Hagee, taking the ideas espoused in his best-selling non-fiction book and tailoring them for the Four Blood Moons movie wasn’t difficult. The pastor, chastising the modern world for its “chaos” and being “upside down,” wants the movie to alert audiences to the power of the god in whom he believes. Vaguely warning of the end of days, Hagee says it’s a time to rejoice.

“It wasn’t a challenge to bring the message from the book to the screen because the message about the book is about the contribution the Jewish people have made to the world, and especially Christianity, and the hope that we have as believers that in this world of chaos, in a world that’s upside down, in a nation that is losing its sense of direction, that God almighty is still in charge,” said Hagee, adding, “He knows the end from the beginning and he’s told us when you see these signs in the heavens, don’t run to the cabinet and start swallowing Tylenol. Lift up your heads and rejoice; your redemption draweth nigh.”

Q: What is the ‘Blood Moon Cycle,’ and why is 2014-2015 a significant period? -

A blood moon is when the sun shines through the earth’s atmosphere onto the moon and it causes the moon to have a blood red appearance. Being in a direct alignment is something that only God can do. We have four blood moons that are appearing right now and according to NASA the last four blood moons that directly relate to the state of Israel. They relate to the state of Israel and the bible because each of these blood moons appears either on Passover or the feast of tabernacles. Starting the in year 2014, April 15, which was passover, the blood moon came. Then the feast of tabernacles, October the 8th 2014, the blood moons came. Now there is a solar eclipse, that’s March the 20th, which is this Friday, that’s about to appear. And then we have the last two blood moons which will be April the 4th, which will be passover and September the 28th which will be the feast of tabernacles. So you have the passover, feast of tabernacles, the solar eclipse, passover and feast of tabernacles. Those are on exact dates that God himself established in the old testament thousands of years ago. Only God can get the earth, the sun, and the moon in an alignment on a specific day that he predicted thousands of years ago. That is the unique mystery of this film and of this book.

Q: How does this belief differ from astrology? -

The difference between astrology and astronomy is that astrology is a false science. Astrology leads to the worship of the stars. Astronomy is the study of the stars by which sailors have been crossing the ocean for centuries. It is a specific science that has great value to the planet. The bible says, God speaking, that he calls the stars by name. So there’s a difference between worshiping the stars and worshiping the god who created the stars. An entirely different thing.

Q: Do you feel that Netanyahu’s re-election has anything to do with this phenomenon? -

No. I do not. I think this is greater than one man on one day. I believe that this is something that when it happens it’s going to eventually involve all of the Middle East and then engulf the world.

User
Q: When do you think that will be? -

I am not in the prediction business but it would be apparent that based on what is happening right now, as of this moment, that the enemies of Israel are literally surrounding them. Hezbollah is now gathering in the Golan Heights and they are literally surrounding Israel, leaving Israel with only a military option of going up against Hezbollah and that will happen the day Iran wants that to happen because Hezbollah, which is a terrorist organization, is funded, trained, and equipped by Iran. Many people in America make the disconnect there but they are very much connected and Iran is running the show in the middle east.

Q: What is the connection between American Christians and Israel? -

The connection between Christians and Israel is the Bible. The Bible begins in Genesis 12:3 with God speaking to Abraham, “I will bless those that bless you and I will curse those who curse you.” You fast forward to the Psalms where David commands Christians everywhere to pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “They shall prosper that love you.” Fast forward to Isaiah 16:1 that says, “For Zion's sake I will not be silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep my peace.” That means Christians are to speak up and to defend the state of Israel. Not to speak is to speak. To see evil and not call it evil, is evil. Fast forward to Romans, the 15th chapter in the 27th verse where Paul says, “If the Gentiles – that’s anyone who’s not a Jewish person – if the Gentiles had benefited from the Jewish things, then the Gentiles owe it to the Jewish people to administer to them in material things. The Jewish people have given to us the patriarchs, the Old Testament prophets. They have given to us the word of God. They have given to us the first family of Christianity: Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. The twelve apostles and Saint Paul. if you take away the Jewish contribution from Christianity, we wouldn't exist. That’s the connection between Christianity and the Jewish people.

Q: What does the bible say about the blood moons? -

The Bible very clearly says in Joel the 2nd chapter, “I will show wonders in the heavens.” That’s a declaration that means that God wants us to see the things that are happening in heaven. “I will show you wonders in the heavens. The sun will not give its light.” That’s the solar eclipse that’s happening Friday. “And the moon shall be turned to blood.” Now, that’s where I got the title of the book. Jesus himself said in the Gospel of Luke, “I will show you wonders in the heavens: the sun, the moon, and the stars. And when you see these signs in the heavens, lift up your heads and rejoice, your redemption draweth nigh.” So Joel says it. Joel’s words are repeated exactly and acts in the second chapter. Jesus repeats that message in Luke the 21st chapter. So you have a three-fold biblical confirmation that these signs in the heavens are gods billboards that something big is about to happen on planet earth.

Q: What was the challenge of bringing a non-fiction book to the screen? -

Really it wasn’t a challenge to bring the message from the book to the screen because the message about the book is about the contribution the Jewish people have made to the world, and especially Christianity, and the hope that we have as believers that in this world of chaos, in a world that’s upside down, in a nation that is losing its sense of direction, that God almighty is still in charge. He knows the end from the beginning and he’s told us when you see these signs in the heavens, don’t run to the cabinet and start swallowing Tylenol. Lift up your heads and rejoice; your redemption draweth nigh.
