3 Blood Moons to Appear Soon—Here’s When the First One Arrives
Some remarkable celestial signs will be on display in the coming months that may hold prophetic significance for our world. This series of four heavenly phenomena includes two lunar events over the next 14 months that appear to represent a possible message about Israel.
It all kicks off with a total lunar eclipse known as a “blood moon” that will appear over the U.S. Mar. 14, 2025. This particular one will fall directly on the Jewish holiday of Purim. That’s when the Jewish people celebrate the biblical account of Esther when they were delivered from annihilation at the hands of an enemy named Haman in the Persian empire, which is modern-day Iran.
And that’s not the end. There will actually be two more blood moons, with one coming this fall before Rosh Hashanah, and then the third one also falling directly on Purim Mar. 3, 2026.

Bible prophecy experts say lunar eclipses known as “blood moons” are tied to events that affect Israel. And with antisemitism spiking around the globe, the ongoing war with Hamas in Gaza and the massive Middle East shifts that have followed the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel, the two Purim blood moons could hold special significance.
Israel is also facing a new era of uncertainty now that its neighbor Syria has fallen into the hands of rebels with ties to Al Qaeda as well as Turkey. And some are concerned that Iran could find a way to lash out after seeing its proxy terrorist armies of Hamas and Hezbollah being destroyed by Israel. It’s why Israel may feel compelled to act swiftly as rumors abound that Iran is close to completing a nuclear weapon that could be deployed against the Jewish state.
What Is the Significance of a Blood Moon?
A blood moon is a full lunar eclipse in which the moon can appear to be an eerie blood-red color. Blood moons occur when Earth passes directly between the moon and the sun, preventing the sun from reflecting off the moon and casting a reddish shadow over it.
In the next such event, the moon will vanish for more than an hour over North and South America on Mar. 14.
The cosmic moment will repeat on Sept. 7, 2025, with an 82-minute “blood moon” that will be visible over Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. That’s two weeks before the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year which is a time of prayer and repentance.
Christian leaders who study biblical prophecy, like Pastor John Hagee, have contended for years that blood moons portend significant events for Israel and the Middle East, and therefore the entire world.
Hagee wrote a best-selling book about it called, “Four Blood Moons.”
“The heavens are ‘God’s billboard.’ He’s been sending signals to Earth, and we haven’t been picking them up,” Hagee explained a decade ago when talking about a particularly remarkable series of blood moons called a tetrad, four blood moons within a span of two years.
The last time a tetrad took place was from 2014-2015, and all four of those eclipses landed directly on Jewish holidays, coming as the world endured the shocking and horrific rise of ISIS, the highly controversial Iran nuclear deal, and the previous Israeli war with Hamas.
That tetrad began during Passover in 2014. The final blood moon of that series took place in September of 2015 during the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles which marks God’s provision and protection during the Israelites’ 40 years in the wilderness.
