Is Blood Moon a Sign Jesus Will Return Soon?

The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. (Acts 2:20 NIV)

 

The "Blood Moon" created by last week's lunar eclipse has many Christians debating the possibility this is a sign that Jesus will return soon. It was the first of four "blood moons" to come over the next 18 months. However this phenomenon, which turned the moon into a reddish hue color as the sun's rays were retracted by Earth's atmosphere just happened to appear on Passover. The next "blood moon" will be on October 8 on the Feast of Tabernacles; then the next on April 4 which will be the next Passover in 2015 and finally the fourth will be on September 28 which is the Feast of Tabernacles in 2015.
I believe that no one knows the day or hour Jesus will return because the Bible says:
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mark 13:32 NIV)
However the timing does suggest that something "historic" is coming. I'm no mathematician, but the odds of these events lining up on these four days has to be astronomical. Afterall, we already know that a "blood moon" was associated with Jesus' death because on April 3, AD 33, a Passover lunar eclipse was visible from Jerusalem. On passover night, when Jesus "broke bread" with his disciples for the last time, there was a "blood moon" over the Holy City.
So, it's also reasonable to believe that a "blood moon" may also be associated with Jesus' return. The bible says this:
"I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord" (Acts 2:19-20)
Also, another incredible fact according to NASA is there are to be a total of 32 "blood moons" or seven more sets of tetrads before the year 2100.
No one may not know the day or hour. And it is possible that Jesus' return may be no time soon. However, for me; I believe that these series of events represent something very big.
God is the designer and the planner of all things. I believe He allowed these events to happen with such timing that they are supposed to be a sign. Maybe a warning to those that do not yet know the Lord Jesus and accepted Him as their savior. God has ways of speaking to us and I believe this is another form of His communication. I believe He is telling us all to be ready!
To be ready for the Return of the King of kings!
