Here we go again - the coming "Blood Moon Eclipse" has some end-timers excited

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/133620-Blood-Moon-Eclipse-Will-Look-Appropriately-Apocalyptic

An upcoming total lunar eclipse has scientists and at least two doomsday prophets very excited.

One might have hoped that doomsday theories would settle down when 2012 passed without incident, but apparently some armchair prophets won't take "No" for an answer. At least they're settling on a impressive display that inspires apocalyptic thinking this time: A blood red lunar eclipse due early next week. The eclipse is the first of a tetrad - four total lunar eclipses that occur within a series - the last of which ended in 1968. During the eclipse our moon will appear to be bathed in a crimson light just as the planet Mars comes into view directly beside it. The visual should be very exciting for scientists and astronomers, but it also heralds the opening of the Blood Moon Prophecy, which predicts major events in Israel that culminate in the Second Coming.
