Daily 2 Cents: 'Blood Moon' Prophecies -- 'My house never felt like a home' -- Chicken Begins Talking Before Being Slaughtered


'Blood Moon' Prophecies

This week's lunar eclipse has been seen as a sign that an ancient prophecy will soon be fulfilled.

A 'blood moon' occurs during a lunar eclipse, an event that takes place when the Moon passes behind the Earth and in to its shadow ( or umbra ).

This week saw the first of four such events set to take place over the next two years and all of them happen to fall upon the dates of Jewish holidays. The eclipse on April 15th will be followed this year by another on October 8th and then two more next year on April 4th and September 28th.

This procession of dates coupled with the unusual frequency with which they are occurring has lead some to read the eclipses as a sign that something significant will soon take place.

"There's a sense in the world that things are changing and God is trying to communicate with us in a supernatural way," said evangelical pastor John Hagee who believes that the pattern of eclipses could precede significant events in the Middle-East.

"Every time this has happened in the last 500 years, it has coincided with tragedy for the Jewish people followed by triumph. And once again, for Israel, the timing of this Tetrad (four blood moons) is remarkable," he said. Read more at Washington Post

My house never felt like a home

When I was younger (on many occasions), weird things would happen around my house, but upstairs in my mom's bedroom in particular.

One day in fourth grade (I was 9 or 10), I had to go upstairs to get my homework assignment from my mom's dresser, as she would check it every night. I walked casually down the hall to her room and stopped. There was a window above her bed, and in it was the perfect* silhouette of a person. If you took the default display picture they give you males on Facebook, you'd have it. No hair, no ears; just a head, neck, and rounded even shoulders. I knew it wasn't anyone on the outside of the house because we were up to the second floor I was so terrified, I grabbed my homework and booked it.

A time later, I was bored and young (maybe a year older than I was during the previous incident), and I happened to have a mirror with me. So with it, I look at the things behind me (I'm on the couch). And then below and to the left, I see a face peeking out from behind the coffee table. Black hair, pale (almost sickly white skin), dark eyes with deep circles. If you remember the little boy from The Grudge, I shit you not, this kid looked just like that. As soon as I recognized facial features, I whipped right around to see who'd gotten into my house. There was no one there, even when I turned back to look through the mirror. Nothing behind me could've been mistaken for a face.

A few years after that, I was trying to sleep on the floor of my mom's room. I'd been uncomfortable upstairs for as long as I can remember (especially in my mom's room/bathroom) , and I hated sleeping alone. So, waiting for my mom to come upstairs and go to bed too, I was listening to my iPod and trying to get sleepy (this was my big music phase), while I'd left the door cracked slightly, so I wouldn't have to be alone in that room in the dark. Not long after, the door just slams shut. Not dragged across the carpet like if you or I'd done it, but just...slammed. I knew it wasn't my mom because you can hear when someone comes upstairs due to the floors making noise, even with headphones. Felt someone watching me intently after the door closed.

I've had suspicions of shadow people in a couple cases, but I can't explain the others. No one's ever died here that I know of. - Reddit

North Korean officials complain about Kim Jong-un poster

Seeking an suitable image to promote a special offer, a hairdressers in west London attracted more than just extra customers when it used a large poster of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, in its window.

When M&M Hair Academy in south Ealing put up the 1-metre-by-1.2-metre poster featuring Kim's distinctive short back and sides with longer centre parting and the words "Bad hair day?", they received a visit from disgruntled North Korean officials. Unbeknown to the salon's owner, Mo Nabbach, 51, the North Korean embassy is just 10-minute stroll away, inside a modest semi-detached house in Gunnersbury.

"The day after it went up two Asian-looking guys wearing suits turned up. One was taking pictures and the other taking notes," said Nabbach. "I said to my client at the time, 'I think they are North Korean officials.' Then they came in. They asked: 'Who put that picture up?' I said I did. He said the pair told him the poster was disrespectful and must come down. They said: 'That is a country's national leader.' I explained to them we often used pictures of celebrities, Lady Diana, Victoria Beckham.

"I told them: 'Listen, this is not North Korea. This is England.' They asked for my name and I told them they would have to get their solicitors for that." Nabbach said he asked them to leave, and later reported the incident to his local police station. The two did not identify themselves as being from the North Korean embassy, he said. But a Metropolitan police spokesman said: "I can confirm that the North Korean embassy have contacted us and that we are in liaison with them. Officers spoke to all parties. No offences have been disclosed."

Residents panic after chicken begins talking before being slaughtered

Residents of a small town in Nigeria, have fled in panic after a chicken began talking in Arabic before being slaughtered, police said.

Benue State Police said that the incident of the talking chicken occurred at a local market in Makurdi.

Residents living near the Wadata Market, fled as the news of the talking chicken spread like fire. “I heard that the police have taken the chicken into their possession, and that is why the police station is so crowded. Everybody wants to see the chicken talk,” a woman who identified herself as Aishetu, said.

As the residents crowded the local roads police shot tear gas to disperse the crowd and clear the roadways for normal traffic. This was not the first time that an animal began to talk before being killed.

Zalman Rosen, and his worker Luis Nivelo of New York, said that they were about to kill a fish when it began shouting at them. “It said ‘watch out’ and ‘the end is coming,’” Rosen said.

Rosen admitted that in a state of panic he tried to kill the fish, injuring himself in the process and ending up in a hospital. The fish was finally killed by Nivelo and sold. - Your Jewish News
