Pastor John Hagee is warning members of his megachurch to prepare for the end of the world because a "blood moon" eclipse on Tuesday is signaling that the End Times could be beginning.
[...]
"I believe that the heavens are God's billboard, that he has been sending signals to planet Earth," he explained. "God is literally screaming at the world, 'I'm coming soon.'"
Hagee predicted that the four eclipses were signaling a "world-shaking event that will happen between April 2014 and October 2015."
"God sends plant Earth a signal that something big is about to happen! He's controlling the Sun and the moon right now to send our generation a signal, but the question is, are we getting it?"

You mean, a solar flare? I'm not sure.
Or maybe tides? Why, we get the signal every 12 hours or so.
Or perhaps you're one of those "align the planets in a line" people?
Either way, you've been waiting for millennia for the apocalypse. It hasn't come. It was supposed to come in Jesus's time, or at least when the apostles were still alive.
Could one of them be alive today~[/sarcasm]
Oh, we get it. You're a fucking looney.
Using a regularly recorded event to stoke fear, pretending it foreshadowed terrible times every other time it occured, linking it to ancient Jewish events with the sin of omission, that many Jewish events then and now were marked by moon phases, not caused or foretold.
Might as well be screaming the sky is falling.

Hmm,
I just realized Americas Christianity would be better served by collected fairy tales.
The boy that cried wolf:
Sure they'd probably twist them, as Huckabee twists history to suit the fundies. Hansel and Gretal would be carrying guns to twart that witch so they could eat her house, just Like that rancher Bundy and his Moocher Militia.
Never mind.

Sort of, he has his own topic in the 'Apostasy' forum. Apparently he suggested that Jews might go to heaven without accepting Christ, a big no-no over at RR.
When I was young, I asked my Mom about the strange people that kept saying that the world was going to end soon. She told me that she heard the same thing in her youth, as did her parents, and their parents before them, etc.
I think there is a lesson there.

Except all the other lunar eclipses which have happened throughout history. I distinctly remember watching one back around 1993 or so. And there will be many more to come before the end of the world.
And what kind of a message is a regularly scheduled lunar eclipse supposed to send, anyway? Your god is such a crappy communicator for being an all-powerful deity.
Silly God! Oughtn't he to know that "our generation" isn't looking at the heavens for answers? We're looking at the Net, for crikey's sake!!!
Plus, if He was controlling the stars instead, he could easily write a message across the sky, telling us in plain Jacobean English (so that the KJV Only crowd could understand too) that The Apocalypse Is Coming, Repent Or Else...!
(A world-shaking event happens somewhere on Earth at least every six months, so you're not even getting your money back on a bet like that, stupid Hagee. Wasn't there an earthquake in Mexico the other week?)
This is ridiculous, even for a fraud like Hagee. Using an eclipse; didn't that go out with the dark ages?
Note to Hagee-I was born on the same day as a solar eclipse-does that make me the antichrist? Or does that mean I have untapped powers, & one day I will become supreme overlord of all humanity?

Been there, done that, watched the pilot episodes & bought the T-shirt already [/hyper-sarcasm], so your 'predictions' hold no fears for me, Pasty Jane Fag ee. >:D
"God is literally screaming at the world, 'I'm coming soon.'"

Ever heard the expression, "shit or get off the pot?" No, of course you haven't. You couldn't hear anyone else over the noise of stuffing your face with twinkies and potato chips.
Your gobs is all-fucking powerful and the best he can do to get our attention is to cause an event which we know occurs naturally? Next, I suppose you're going to claim he throws lightning bolts, too.
world-shaking event that will happen between April 2014 and October 2015
Oh please, not another Star Wars sequel. Enough is enough.
@ checkmate
A winner is you!
There are four to seven eclipses (either solar or lunar) every year. Just because they aren't always visible in Texas doesn't mean they aren't happening. The term "blood moon" usually means the moon is red (which it usually is during an eclipse). Hagee has apparently appropriated the term to mean four total lunar eclipses in a row - an apocalyptic sign of his own invention.
It has happened numerous other times. He's just trying to sell books.
@Goomy pls:

Actually, I believe this is the reason for the "legend" (i.e., church dogma) that the Roman soldier who stabbed Jesus in the side with a spear was doomed to live and walk the Earth until Christ returned. Even in the dark ages, they apparently noted those troublesome verses, and had to invent an immortal character to explain how it was possible that Jesus would return within the lifetime of some who were there. Wouldn't want people thinking the entire thing was BS and withholding tithes.
What's wrong with a fucking phone call?
Why does your god communicate in the strangest, most cryptic, and most easily misinterpreted ways as possible?
You don't know the meaning of the word literally do you Pastor?
So when your god created our solar system (whenever that was, 4.5 billion or 6000 years ago) he already knew that he would need to send humanity (or rather only that part of humanity that can actually see that blood moon*) a message this year? That seems kind of overly complicated. Couldn’t he just set fire to a bush again?
*Does this mean that he will be coming only to the parts of the world that can actually see the phenomenon? Why are we Europeans and others left out?

That was just a conflation of the story of Rory Williams aka The Last Centurion guarding the Pandorica

"God sends plant Earth"
...and Unicron created Galvatron - a Decepticon superior to Megatron - so a mechanised world (eater) trumps (and farts in the general direction of) an equally fictional character, so...! [/nerd]
Even Norin Radd - imbued with the Power Cosmic by Galactus - sent a message to Earth. So if the Fantastic Four can defeat that God, then...! [/The Great God Jack Kirby]
How soon is "soon"? October of 2015 has already been...
World-shaking event? You mean the earthquake in Nepal in April of 2015? Or the one in May 2015? Or is Nepal too far from Texas to count?
I hope "plant Earth" is a typo, and not what he actually said.
Even his programmes are heavily edited on TBNUK, along with Pat 'Alzheimer's For The Lord' Robertson's "700 Club".
Jan Crouch knows that OFCOM are superior to God, if she wants to keep her licence & frequencies.
Meanwhile, Princesses Celestia & Luna would like a word with you, Johnny-boy, re. the sun & moon. And "MLP:FiM" are showed in their entirety on the 'POP' channel.
No lying by crooks allowed on UK TV.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
