The Sun Darkened and the Moon turned Blood Red in A.D. 69, the Year before the Fall of Jerusalem, “the Glorious Day of the Lord,” in A.D.

There has been recent buzz about some significance of the so-called "Blood Red Moons". April 15, 2014 there is to be an eclipse and a "blood red moon". Quite a few TV Preachers and others have likely got many all stirred up about alleged significance of the so-called coming "Blood Red Moons". However, they are about 1,945 years too late.

The prophecy in which the sun darkened and the moon turned blood red was fulfilled in A.D. 69, the year before the fall of Jerusalem. That same year v. 19 was also fulfilled when a volcano erupted in Italy causing the sign “on the earth below . . . fire and billows of smoke.” (Source)

The eclipse on April 15, 2014 won't be visible from the land associated with State of Israel, Palestine or the Middle East since the moon will have set to the West when it happens.

Is 'blood moon' or 'moon turning to blood' 'slang' for lunar eclipse?

Historically, the phrase "blood moon" was a synonym for a modern "lunar eclipse" in the same way that the phrase "preparation day" was a synonym for our modern "Friday".

"In the medieval European annals compiled by G. H. Pertz (Monumenta germaniae historica, MGH, Georg Heinrich Pertz, 1826-1874, vol 16-19) there are so many lunar eclipses described by "the moon turned to blood" that the phrase appears to be used as a standard description." (Chronos, Kairos, Christos: Nativity and Chronological Studies Presented to Jack Finegan, Jerry Vardaman, Edwin M. Yamauchi, Colin Humphreys, W. Waddington, p165-182, 1989 AD)

Maybe with some people, but I think there are lunar eclipses that don't appear blood red. I remember two red eclipses in 1980, which was a notable event.
