SID: Hello. Sid Roth here with Perry Stone. And Perry, many Christians say, I don’t know about studying those feasts because my Bible says I’m no longer under the Law. What would you say to them?
PERRY: You know, we talked about this before, how in the Torah, the Five Books of Moses, you know, you have what’s called the Law of God: ceremonial, sacrificial and the moral law. Sacrificial laws were all the sacrifices, the lambs, the bulls, the rams, the pigeons. That is Christ fulfilled the law. He became the final sacrifice. So there’s no more sacrifices as far as animals. So that’s what the New Testament is talking about. Now when we talk about the Law of God when it comes to, let’s say, the moral law, that’s God’s character. That’s how God wants His people to live and have these laws in the Torah that are also, by the way, found in the New Testament. I can show you in the New Testament, you don’t kill, you honor your father and mother, you don’t commit adultery and fornication. These scriptures that we call the Commandments are still, but here’s the key. In the New Covenant, they operate off of love, meaning that God says to you, if you love your neighbor as yourself you’re not going to steal, you’re going to commit adultery, you’re not going covet. If you love God with all your heart you’re going to obey those commandments of worshiping God, keeping the Sabbath day to worship Him and so on, not taking His name in vain. So the fact is the New Covenant, the only change we have is we operate off of love, meaning if you love people who love God, we’re going to follow His Word. It’s going to be an automatic thing because He’s changed our heart to follow His commandments and His Word.
SID: Now you have found such amazing nuggets in the only book, hear me, the only Bible the first church had was we call the Old Testament, and from that Bible, they were functioning really, really well. But we’re talking about the blood moon, and it gives us an insight into the timing of what’s happening on Planet Earth.
PERRY: Well several years ago, that was in the 1990s, I began to study the verses, very complicated in the sense of how you interpret it. “The sun should be dark and the moon to blood before the terrible day of the Lord.” In the 1960s, when they had the moon landing, a woman from my dad’s church says, that’s the prophecy fulfillment. The Russians are going to go to the moon, the American’s are going to go to the moon, they’re going to kill each other and it’s going to be, I don’t know if you ever heard that theory. And I thought, how are they going to kill each other? When you swing a sword, you have to swing it so slow, the guy can dodge it. Or if you shoot a bomb, and I was saying to myself, this doesn’t make sense. What I did, I studied it from a rabbinical perspective. Now in the rabbinical perspective, lunar eclipses and solar eclipses, the solar eclipse, when the moon looks orange or looks like blood, those are signs. For example, lunar eclipse is not, here’s the thing you got to understand. We’re not just making this up. Rabbis have actually traced this down for hundreds of years and they’ve noticed that during certain solar eclipses, things follow in the world. For example, earthquakes often follow, famines often follow, or global wars often follow. With Jews, they discovered that when a moon turns to blood, if it happens on a major feast day, here’s the key, it’s not just what we call the moon turning into blood or a lunar eclipse, it’s when it happens on a feast day, through history, something significant happens somewhere within 12 months to 48 months to the Jewish people. You can, you’ve had, for example, you’ve had a series of lunar eclipses that have happened in the spring feasts and the fall feasts on specific feast days about seven times throughout history. And every time it relates either to the city of Jerusalem, it relates to the time Columbus discovered America, it relates to a time, a prophetic time.
SID: Very significant time.
PERRY: Very significant. And I wanted to write this time to get it exact for those of you that are watching. The next ones that are coming up that are feast days will be the first day of Passover, April 15, 2014, the first day of Tabernacles, October 8, 2014. This is a full lunar eclipse. Then the first day of Passover, April 4, 2015, the first day of Tabernacles, September 28, 2015. Now from, again, a rabbinical perspective of all of the Jewish people watching this, have rabbis that can verify this, the blood moons are a bad sign for Israel. They’re considered an omen of trouble for Israel. Now you cannot look at these and say what’s going to happen because none of us know. I can’t do that. But we do know that on feast days, as a matter fact, it happens, you know, in January and February. But when it falls specifically on a feast day, something significant happens either with the Jewish people or Israel, and the sad thing is it’s not always good. So that is when the Book of Joel and the Book of Acts, Joel 2 and Acts 2 says, “The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great terrible day of the Lord,” most scholars interpret the great terrible day of the Lord being the days of tribulation. So these are blood moon events that happened before the tribulation period. And of course, we’re not in the tribulation period yet, according to what I see, because you know, prophetically.
SID: Well I see this 80,000 hours of research understanding the Hebraic roots. You see, it didn’t have to be explained in the New Covenant, in the New Testament and in the Old Testament. Everyone understood these things. Perry, would you understand where we are prophetically? What’s going on prophetically if you had never studied the Hebraic roots?
PERRY: It’s totally impossible. It’s impossible.
SID: Okay. Hold that thought. We’ll be right back.
