● Mark Biltz
● Christian Pastor in
Tacoma Washington
● Strong appreciation for
Israel, Jews, and Torah
● Some Jewish heritage
rootsourceIL
www.root-source.com
● Mark Biltz writes in
2008:
● “In March of that year, I
saw on the internet an
incredible total lunar
eclipse over the Temple
Mount in Jerusalem.”

● “In March of that year, I saw on the internet an incredible
total lunar eclipse over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. I
had read all the Bible verses in Isaiah, Joel, the Gospels
and Revelation where the text talks about the moon
turning to blood and the sun to sackcloth. I began to
ponder the possibilities of tying the eclipses mentioned in
the Bible to the possible coming of the Messiah.” p. xvi.

● Many Christians started speculating on the
meaning of these “Blood Moons”
www.root-source.com
Christian Meanings…
War Coming to Israel

● Mark Biltz says:
● It forces Christians to
recognize Jewish Feast
days as important.
● It helps people
everywhere understand
that God’s calendar is the
Jewish Calendar.

● Mark Biltz says:
● It should encourage
