Was it a blood moon last night?

I was outside about 2:00 A.M. Saturday morning (last night) and the moon really changed. It was yellowish for about 15 minutes, the next time I looked it was almost to a reddish color. Another half hour later it was white????

    No, the phenomena you saw was a bog standard moon, when it's low down on the horizon Rayleigh scattering makes the bluer shorter wavelengths of light from the moon scatter across the sky leaving the longer redder wavelenghths which are more penetrating. This is the same reason that sunsets look orange / reddish colour and the same reason as the sky is blue.

    The term Blood Moon refers to a specific full moon also known as a Hunter's Moon which occurs in Autumn, it is the first full moon after the Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon is the first full moon after the Autumnal equinox.

    That's interesting! But we also know that all these signs we see in the heavens and on earth will get worse. The moon will turn to blood, the earth will shake, etc. The whole earth will shake at the end in a gigantic earthquake. All the tsunamis and disasters that have been getting more frequent will continue to get worse as the end is approaching. Jesus is coming soon.

    See what Joel 2 says:

    The Promise of the Spirit

    28 “[p]It will come about after this

    That I will pour out My Spirit on all [q]mankind;

    And your sons and daughters will prophesy,

    Your old men will dream dreams,

    Your young men will see visions.

    29 “Even on the male and female servants

    I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

    The Day of the Lord

    30 “I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth,

    Blood, fire and columns of smoke.

    31 “The sun will be turned into darkness

    And the moon into blood

    Before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.

    32 “And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the Lord

    Will be delivered;

    For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem

    There will be those who escape,

    As the Lord has said,

    Even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.
