The Final Blood Moon and Stock Market Crash Heightens End-Times Rhetoric

August 24, 2015 2:17 PM EDT

The end-of-the-world fear mongers are always with us... moving from one date to the next with little hindsight that they've been wrong 100% of the time. Well over the near-term you will here them in force again after the dramatic 1000 point plunge in the Dow, which follows the havoc witnessed in China over the past few weeks.

The latest apocalyptic prediction... the blood moon.

The fourth blood moon is scheduled to appear on September 28, 2015, which coincides with a Jewish holiday. According to some biblical scholars this is a sign of the rapture.

In a recent talk Rabbi Mendel Kessin, a rabbinic scholar, said tetrads, or sequences of four blood moons six months apart, are very rare. What is even rarer are tetrads falling on Jewish holidays - happening just four times in 500 years (1492, 1948, 1967 and 2015).

It so happens, that the years in which this phenomenon occurred were all significant years for the Jews. In 1492 the Jewish community in Spain was expelled. In 1948 the State of Israel was founded. In 1967 the city of Jerusalem was reunited.

The final blood moon in 2015 is scheduled to fall on the first night of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

Well, there you have it... that is the Blood Moon apocalypse. Now we hope we can all laugh about it on September 29.
