The question

Can you please tell me concisely what is with the blood moon story? I don't feel like reading rubbish online where people are blabbering on about the pope this and one world order that and forgetting about the real issue of the persecuted church in the Middle East. Apparently, it has a connection with Israel and/or the one world order conspiracy.

The answer

The concise answer to the blood moon tale is that it is supposed to be prophetic about some major changes in the world. There is no need to be concerned with these media phenomena. If Jesus Christ wanted us to be preoccupied with such matters, He would have told us plainly. What He definitely did caution the faithful is to be concerned about their repentance, prayerfulness, steadfastness, kindness, and salvation. Work on these and you will find inner peace.
