Tonight, the full moon will turn blood red as the longest total lunar eclipse of the century until 2123.

Paul Begley, an Indiana-based pastor is known to preach on conspiracy theories about the end of the world is linking this historic event to the Blood Moon.

Begley, who thinks we are living in the End Times has interpreted the July 27 lunar eclipse as an apocalyptic signs. He believes this particular astronomical event was foretold by the Book of Revelation, Book of Acts and Book of Joel in the Bible.

In a recent YouTube broadcast where he is recognized for sharing prophetic warnings and apocalyptic scenarios warned the Blood Moon in conjunction with ongoing eruptions, hurricanes and earthquakes is a sign of the apocalypse.

“The world has completely gone insane, alright, plus the apocalyptic events going on right now in the last 24 hours are off the charts,” Begley said.

“I didn’t know what to name this show, so I named it ‘Prophetic Doomsday Blood Moon causes typhoons, monsoons, volcanoes, wildfires, floods raging, landslides,’” Begley said. “It’s just unbelievable – lava flowing, rivers of lava flowing. I just don’t know what to do with this.”

Begley believes the combination of strange events happening around the world is linked to the nearing end of the world and Judgment Day.

But Begley doesn’t think the world is going to end the night of Friday, July 27 which other end times’ theorists have claimed. Instead his interpretation of the Blood Moon is a precursor to the apocalypse.

“The Blood Moon that’s approaching this Friday, July 27, is the longest Blood Moon of the century and it’s happening in the same year of the 70th anniversary of Israel as a nation,” Begley said.

He also said, “Prophecy is being fulfilled the same year that Jerusalem became the eternal city of God, the capital of Israel, which fulfilled a prophecy in Psalms Chapter 48.”

He says that “apocalyptic pressure” is building around the world before the eclipse.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the Earth’s innermost shadow. When this happens, the moon turns rusty orange or deep red in color and is how it earned the nickname of a blood moon eclipse.

Unlike a solar eclipse, you don’t need special equipment or glasses to view the total lunar eclipse; however, onlookers will require cloud-free weather.

The total phase of the eclipse will last for 1 hour and 43 minutes, while the entire eclipse, including the partial phases, will last for over 6 hours.

“On July 27th, a total lunar eclipse will be visible in Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe and South America,” NASA said.

The time that the blood moon is visible really depends on what areas of the world onlookers are viewing the event.

For anyone in Australia, New Zealand and eastern Asia, the height of the eclipse will be visible before the moon sets early in the morning on July 28. For those in far eastern South America and far western Europe, the total eclipse will be visible as the moon rises on Friday night.
