On the first day of the twelfth month — just weeks from now — a total lunar eclipse will turn the full moon blood-red. The keseh will become blood. For those who know what Scripture says about this date, this moon, and this year, the convergence is difficult to dismiss.

Moses said: "I am an hundred and twenty years old this day" (Deut 31:2) — and then he died (Deut 34:7). "This day" = his birthday. "The number of thy days I will fulfil" (Exod 23:26). The timeline places his death on Adar 1 — the first of the twelfth month. Born and died on the same date. And at 80, Moses spoke to Pharaoh (Exod 7:7) — on his birthday — and the first plague was blood.

On Adar 1, Moses was born. On Adar 1, he turned 80 and the waters turned to blood. On Adar 1, he saw the kingdom from the Mountain of Prophecy and vanished. On Adar 1, Ezekiel's darkening oracle fell against Pharaoh. On Adar 1 of 2026, the full moon turns to blood.

I. The כסא — Throne and Full Moon Are the Same Word

John Was on the Lord's Day

The Greek is G2960 kyriakos = "belonging to the Lord." Not the prophetic "day of the Lord" (genitive), but the day that is His property. His throne-day. His keseh.

And the first thing John sees on that day:

Seven stars (כּוֹכָבִים) at His H3225 yamin — which means both "right side" and "south." A sword (H2719 chereb) from His mouth. His appearance shining like the sun.

The constellation Leo — the Lion of Judah (Rev 5:5) — has seven stars forming its head and mane, known as the Sickle. On the night of the blood moon, these seven stars sit at the right side of the full moon — and the blood moon sits at the Lion's feet:

Stellarium — March 3, 2026: Total lunar eclipse at the feet of Leo, the Sickle at his right

Eclipse visibility and timing — March 3, 2026

The Lion's foot dipped in blood. And Psalm 68 is the same psalm Paul quotes for the ascension: "Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive" (v18 = Eph 4:8).

And the sickle is not just a shape — it is a command. The sword from his mouth (Rev 1:16) and the sickle thrust to reap (Rev 14:15) are two names for the same curved blade at Leo's head — one cuts, the other harvests. In the sky, the Sickle asterism extends from the Lion's mouth. The sword IS the sickle.

The Threshing Floor in the Sky

One more detail: the constellation Virgo — the Virgin — sits at the feet of Leo. The blood moon falls right where the two constellations meet. And the month is Adar, whose Aramaic root (H147 iddar) means threshing floor.

Now read Ruth 3:

The virgin bride at the feet of the redeemer (gaal — the Jubilee word) on the threshing floor, at midnight. She asks him to spread his wing (H3671 kanaph) over her. That word — kanaph — means wing, border, covering. Ezekiel uses the same word for the covenant act itself:

Spreading the wing (kanaph) = covering (kasah) = entering the covenant. And that root H3680 kasah — "to cover, to fill up" — is the root that gives us both keseh (H3677 = full moon) and kissé (H3678 = throne). The full moon, the throne, and the covenant covering all flow from the same Hebrew root. And what covers the mercy seat (H3727 kapporeth — from H3722 kaphar, "to atone/cover")? Two cherubim with outstretched wings — kanaph (Exod 25:20). Wings cover the covering. The covenant is layered in coverings, and the full moon is one of them.

The sky on the night of the blood moon IS this scene: Leo (the Lion/Redeemer) with the Sickle at his right hand, Virgo (the Virgin/Bride) at his feet, the blood at his feet (Ps 68:23), in the month of the threshing floor (Adar).

And the threshing floor is where the throne stands:

The temple — God's כסא (throne/full moon) — built on the threshing floor. The throne sits where the harvest happens.

Sit still = silence before the כסא (throne/full moon). He will finish it this day = "It is done" (Rev 16:17).

The Word That Means Both

Why does a Hebrew word matter for understanding Revelation? Because the word translated "throne" in your English Bible is not just a throne. The Hebrew keseh (H3677 = full moon) and kissé (H3678 = throne) both come from the root H3680 kasah = "to cover, to fill up." When the moon reaches fullness, the throne is filled. When the king takes his seat, the moon is full. And the covering chain we just saw in Ruth — kanaph, kasah, covenant — runs through the same root.

It goes deeper than a shared root. Remove the vowel points — the nikud added by the Masoretes roughly 600-900 AD — and look at the consonants:

• כֶּסֶא (keseh) = full moon — consonants: כסא
• כִּסֵּא (kissé) = throne — consonants: כסא

Identical. כסא = כסא. The Masoretic pointing forces a choice between "throne" and "full moon." The unpointed consonantal text holds both. There is a strong case that Revelation was originally written in Hebrew (hebrewgospels.com). Read Revelation 4:2 without vowel points:

Unpointed Hebrew: וראיתי כסא אחד ישב בשמים ועל הכסא ישב אחד — the same consonants in every position. Throne or full moon? The text says both.

Every כסא in Revelation — all 47 of them — carries both readings. A Greek reader sees thronos. An English reader sees "throne." A Hebrew reader sees כסא and hears the full moon. And every verse in the Old Testament that uses כסא transforms when you hear both:

Clouds and darkness surrounding the כסא (throne/full moon) = a lunar eclipse. This is what a blood moon looks like.

Solomon's כסא (throne/full moon) is round. White ivory overlaid with gold. The physical throne was built in the shape of what כסא already means.

Heaven IS the כסא (throne/full moon). The sky itself is the seat.

Solomon's כסא: ivory overlaid with gold, round behind, six steps, two lions — and the earth as His footstool (1 Kings 10:18-19, Isaiah 66:1)

The trumpet is blown at the full moon (Psalm 81:3). The husband returns at the keseh (Proverbs 7:20). And Psalm 89 states the equation outright: "His throne as the sun before me. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven" (Psalm 89:36-37). The moon IS the faithful witness (H539 aman — root of "Amen"). And the moon speaks: "Night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth" (Psalm 19:2-4).

Eyes = Stars

Revelation makes the equation explicit: Rev 5:6 — seven eyes = seven Spirits. Rev 3:1 — seven Spirits = seven stars. Therefore: eyes = stars.

Full of eyes (Hebrew: מָלֵא עֵינַיִם) = full of stars. The night sky around the full moon — the כסא (throne/full moon) at center, the stars filling every direction.

Ancient of Days — The Keseh Presider

White as snow. Pure wool. Radiant. The brightest white object in the night sky — the full moon at its seat. The Aramaic word for "ancient" is H6268 attiq, from H6275 athaq = "to advance from the beginning." On a full-moon calendar, the first day of every month IS the keseh — the start of the day-count. The "Ancient of days" is not just "old." He is the One who has presided at the beginning of every day-count — at every keseh — since He appointed the moon for H4150 mo'edim (Psalm 104:19). And at the last keseh, the Son of Man approaches and receives the kingdom (Daniel 7:13-14).

The Day of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 — His Keseh-Day

If כסא = keseh = the full moon, then "the day of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄" is not a vague future era. It is a specific keseh-day. The day the throne is occupied. The day the full moon rises.

Silence before the keseh. The day is at hand.

The keseh-day arrives as darkness. The full moon turns to blood. Clouds and darkness are the habitation of His כסא — throne/full moon (Psalm 97:2).

Twelve כסאות — Twelve Full Moons

The word "judging" is H8199 shaphat — which means not just courtroom judgment but to govern, to rule. The Book of Judges (Shophetim) proves it: Deborah, Gideon, Samson were rulers and deliverers, not legal adjudicators. Twelve כסאות governing the twelve tribes = twelve keseh-days that set the appointed times for the year. The moon governs (Psalm 104:19). The last of the twelve = the 12th month = Adar = where the blood moon falls. And 24 elders around THE throne (Rev 4:4) = 24 priestly courses (1 Chr 24), four serving each month, each course twice a year — the full cycle of keseh-service. And notice: twelve tribes, but Jacob had thirteen sons when Joseph splits into Ephraim and Manasseh. Twelve months, but some years have a thirteenth. Twelve disciples, but Matthias replaces Judas and Paul is called. The thirteenth is always present but sometimes hidden — like Levi, who has no land but serves at the כסא (throne/full moon).

And the twelve gates of New Jerusalem — "the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl" (Rev 21:21). A pearl is round, white, luminous — it looks like a full moon. Each gate IS a pearl. Twelve gates, twelve pearls, twelve keseh-moons. And Jeremiah's opening vision describes the same pattern: "they shall set every one his כסא at the entering of the gates" (Jer 1:15) — every one his keseh at its own gate. Twelve full moons, twelve pearl-gates.

The Throne Room IS the Night Sky

John did not describe an alien room in another dimension. He described the sky. In Hebrew. And the word he used for the seat at the center — כסא (throne/full moon) — is the same word as the full moon that sits there.

II. Signs Written in the Sky

Every Sign of His Coming Is a Full-Moon Phenomenon

The full moon is the only body that rises east and illuminates west all night.

Sun west, moon east = opposition = full moon only.

Evening light = full moon rising at sunset.

The Blood Moon

Joel 2:31 says the moon will turn to blood "before" the great day. The Hebrew word is liphnei (H6440) — literally "to the face of." Built on paniym = face. It can mean "prior to" in time. Or it can mean "facing" — in the presence of. If temporal, the blood moon is an advance warning. If facing, the blood moon IS the day arriving — the sign and the day are one event, and there is no gap.

The Sun and Moon — Two Witnesses

Paul quotes this verse in Romans 10:18 to argue the gospel has gone to all nations. The sun and moon's testimony IS the gospel-witness pattern — two great lights whose voice reaches every nation without language barriers. Now consider what matches:

• Two witnesses (Rev 11:3) — Two great lights (Gen 1:16)
• Two lampstands standing before God (Rev 11:4) — Two celestial lamps standing in the heavens
• Clothed in sackcloth (Rev 11:3) — Sun black as sackcloth (Rev 6:12) — same word G4526
• Fire from their mouths (Rev 11:5) — The sun IS fire
• Power to shut heaven that it rain not (Rev 11:6) — The sun drives the water cycle
• Power to turn waters to blood (Rev 11:6) — Moon turns to blood (Joel 2:31)
• Testimony reaches all nations (Mat 24:14) — "Their line gone out through all the earth" (Ps 19:4 = Rom 10:18)
• A faithful witness — The moon IS a "faithful witness in heaven" (Ps 89:37) — H539 aman, root of "Amen"

Sackcloth IS Smoke

The sackcloth connection is not just a vocabulary match — it is a physical mechanism. Three verses, same word (G4526 sakkos), same reality:

• Rev 11:3 — witnesses clothed in sackcloth 1,260 days
• Rev 6:12 — sun black as sackcloth
• Rev 9:2 — sun darkened by reason of the smoke

The sackcloth IS the smoke. Babylon burns, smoke rises, and the smoke is what makes the sun look like sackcloth from below. The witnesses prophesy inside the smoke — literally clothed in the substance that darkens the sun. And Ezekiel 32:7 names the covering agent: H6051 anan = cloud — the same word for the theophanic cloud of Exodus 13:21 and 1 Kings 8:10. Cloud IS smoke IS sackcloth.

Amos traces the sequence to its end:

Sun goes dark → sackcloth → famine of the word → seek and cannot find. When the witnesses are killed (Rev 11:7), the word is withdrawn. The witnesses going dark IS the sun going dark, because the witnesses ARE the light-bearing testimony.

III. Before the Trumpet

Silence

Be Still

Silence before the כסא (throne/full moon). The sheep — silent before the shearers (Isa 53:7). Be still. Then the shofar. Then the walls fall.

The Moon City

Jericho (H3405) from H3394 yareach = "moon." The moon city falls at the trumpet:

Extraction THEN fire. Same pattern as Rev 18:4 → 18:8.

The Last Trump

"Jubilee" = yobel (H3104) = "ram's horn; trumpet." The Jubilee IS a trumpet blast. The "last trump" works at three scales: the last of seven trumpets (Rev 11:15), the last full-moon trumpet of the year (Adar), and the last jubilee trumpet of the 70th cycle.

IV. The Date

The Date: First of the Twelfth Month

The ONLY darkening oracle that names the covering agent: cloud = smoke. Dated to H143 Adar 1 — the month whose name means fire. The Hebrew verb H142 adar = "to become glorious, magnificent." And the Aramaic intensive of the same root: H147 iddar = threshing floor. The month of fire, glory, and the threshing floor — where the Sickle harvests.

Yes — this oracle is addressed to Pharaoh. But Scripture treats Egypt, Tyre, and Sodom as faces of a single system. Egypt is Babylon's bondage face — the system that enslaves through provision, ruled by self-deifying authority (Ezek 29:3: "My river is mine own, and I have made it" = Isa 47:8's self-deifying Babylon). Revelation names this directly:

The great city — Babylon — is spiritually called Egypt. The names are functional, not geographic.

And the vocabulary proves it. The same darkening language appears in Isaiah 13:10 — explicitly titled "the burden of Babylon." Matthew 24:29 quotes that Isaiah text for the end-times signs. Ezekiel 32's darkening oracle against Egypt, Isaiah 13's against Babylon, Joel 2:10 for the Day of the LORD — identical vocabulary, identical pattern, because they describe one system judged on one day. Egypt's plagues ARE Revelation's bowl template: blood, darkness, hail and fire, frogs, sores (Rev 15-16). Ezekiel 32 is not a local oracle reapplied. It is the mechanism text — the one oracle that names what covers the sun — and it is dated: the first of the twelfth month.

And the Torah reading cycle places its own witness. The parashah for the first week of Adar is Vaera (וארא) — "And I appeared" — covering Exodus 6:2–9:35. God reassures Moses of the covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He promises to free Israel. Then the first seven plagues fall on Egypt: blood, frogs, lice, wild beasts, pestilence, boils, and hail. Pharaoh hardens his heart each time.

The Jewish world will be reading about God's plagues on Egypt — Babylon's bondage face — the very week the כסא (throne/full moon) turns to blood. The first plague was water to blood. And Revelation interprets its own symbol: "The waters which thou sawest... are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues" (Rev 17:15). Waters to blood = the nations come under judgment. The Nile turned to blood on Adar 1. The כסא (throne/full moon) turns to blood on Adar 1. And the name of the Torah portion is the announcement: וארא — "And I appeared."

Five Days Before: The Horsemen Scout

False peace. 5 days before the darkening oracle. Then: "Peace and safety; then sudden destruction" (1 Thess 5:3).

The Torah reading cycle marks the sequence. The parashah for the last week of Shevat is Shemot (שמות) — "Names" — covering Exodus 1:1–6:1. While the horsemen report that all the earth sits at peace, the Torah reading tells the other side: Israel multiplies in Egypt, Pharaoh enslaves them, male infants are killed — and Moses is born, drawn from the water, hidden and preserved. God hears Israel's cries, appears in a burning bush, and reveals the name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. The world is at rest — but God is commissioning the deliverer. The priestly course serving on Shevat 29 — the day before the כסא (throne/full moon) turns to blood — is the 23rd course: Delaiah (דליה) — "Yahweh has drawn out / delivered." The extraction announcement, the day before judgment. Then the calendar turns to Adar — Moses' birthday — the reading turns to Vaera — "And I appeared" — and the plagues begin. Born from water one week. Water to blood the next.

Moses Was Born, Struck Egypt, and Vanished on This Date

"This day" (הַיּוֹם) = his birthday. He dies the same day (Deut 34:7). "The number of thy days I will fulfil" (Exod 23:26) = complete years, born and died on the same date.

Moses begins Deuteronomy on Shevat 1 (Deut 1:3). He ascends Mount Nebo (H5015) — whose consonants נבו echo the root H5012 naba = "to prophesy." From the Mountain of Prophecy, God shows him the entire promised land (Deut 34:1-4). The prophet sees the kingdom — and then vanishes. He dies. Israel mourns 30 days (Deut 34:8). Jordan crossing = Nisan 10 (Josh 4:19). Between the mourning and the crossing, Joshua records specific activities:

• Joshua commands: "within 3 days ye shall pass over" (Josh 1:11)
• Spies sent to Jericho, night at Rahab's (Josh 2:1)
• Spies hide in mountains 3 days (Josh 2:22), return to Joshua (Josh 2:23)
• Camp moves from Shittim to Jordan (Josh 3:1)
• "After 3 days" at Jordan, officers go through the host (Josh 3:2)
• "Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow" (Josh 3:5)

Date	Event	Source
Adar 1	Moses vanishes — buried by God, grave unknown, body contested	Deut 34:5-6, Jude 1:9
Adar 1-29	30 days mourning	Deut 34:8
~Nisan 1	Mourning ends. God speaks to Joshua. "Within 3 days" command.	Josh 1:1-2, 1:11

~Nisan 9	"Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow..."	Josh 3:5
Nisan 10	Jordan crossing	Josh 4:19

If Moses died on Adar 1, he was born on Adar 1. And "Moses was fourscore years old... when they spake unto Pharaoh" (Exod 7:7). He turned 80 on Adar 1 — and confronted Pharaoh. The first plague was blood. The text confirms the timing: the 7th plague (hail) struck when "the barley was in the ear" (Exod 9:31) — H24 abib, the word that names the month Nisan. Hail falls at the Adar-to-Nisan transition. Work backward through six plagues and the first — water to blood — falls in early Adar. On Moses' 80th birthday. The plagues began with blood on the date the blood moon falls.

God buried Moses. No one knows where. Then Michael the archangel disputed with the devil about the body (Jude 1:9). Why would Satan contest a dead man's body — unless that body was meant to rise? And Moses DOES appear alive, in glory, at the Transfiguration (Mat 17:3).

Moses on Adar 1 is the pattern for the "dead in Christ" rising: "the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up" (1 Thess 4:16-17). Moses vanishes. His body is contested. He appears alive in glory. On the same calendar date as the darkening oracle — the keseh-day of the month whose name means fire and threshing floor.

The Fall of Babylon IS the Jubilee

Nine Jubilee terms in Jeremiah 50-51:

H1350 gaal = THE Jubilee redemption word. + Captives freed (50:33). + Debts cancelled: "iniquity NOT FOUND" (50:20). + Land returned (50:19). + Liberty proclaimed (50:8, 51:6,45).

V. David's Enacted Parable

David's Empty Seat at the כסא (Throne/Full Moon) Feast

The chodesh — the כסא (throne/full moon) day. David should sit at the king's table. Instead: hide in the field (the world, Mat 13:38). Until the third day at even.

Then v27: "the second of the chodesh" — H2320 chodesh = "new moon," not a separate word for "month." The second of the renewed moon feast. David still absent. Two days.

Yeshua ascended in 32 AD. Two days = 2,000 years (2 Pet 3:8). His seat has been empty since He ascended. After two days He will revive us; in the third day He will raise us up (Hosea 6:2). We are at the end of the second day.

Then the signal — arrows. "The arrows are beyond thee" (v22) = flee. Compare: "Shoot at her, spare no arrows" (Jer 50:14). "None shall return in vain" (Jer 50:9). Jonathan's arrows signal David to flee. Babylon's arrows are what falls after. The signal happens at "the time appointed" — H4150 mo'ed (v35).

And when the third day's evening comes:

David rises from the field. And what does a full moon do at evening? It rises from the field on the horizon. The great white disc lifting from the low place where the grass meets the sky. Light at evening (Zech 14:7). The anointed King rising from the field IS the כסא (throne/full moon) ascending from the horizon.

The Convergence

• 70 jubilees from the Jordan crossing (1406 BC + 3430) = ~2024
• Abraham's covenant + 3900 years = ~2025
• Suleiman's 490 lunar years end at Adar 29, 2025
• Two days from the cross (32 AD + 2000 - 7) = 2025
• The third day = the millennium = 32 AD + 2000 = 2032

A blood moon is coming on the first day of the twelfth month. On the date of Ezekiel's darkening oracle. On the date Moses vanished. At the feet of the Lion. In the last month of the 70th jubilee. At the end of the second day of the anointed King's absence.

The כסא (throne/full moon) is the full moon and the throne in the same consonants. The moon city will fall at the trumpet. The trumpet is blown at the full moon. The last trump of the last jubilee of the last keseh. David's seat has been empty for two days. And at evening on the third day, the anointed King rises from the field.

The full moon will turn to blood. And we are facing the day.
