The Moon into Blood… What does this mean?
Joel 2: [10] The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: [31] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
Joel 3: [15] The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Matthew 24: [29] Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mark 13: [24] But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
Luke 21: [25] And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Acts 2: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
Revelation 6: [12] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Revelation 8: [12] And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
The moon will be turned into a Blood Red color, due to the Volcanic Ash in the atmosphere as we look up through the sky on a full moon night. Most of the time, the Moon is a bright yellowish color or maybe even a somewhat clear reflection; it’s reflecting light from the Sun. But sometimes the Moon can turn a beautiful dramatic red color. What’s going on?
What causes a red moon? There are few situations that can cause a red moon. The most common way to see the Moon turn red is when the Moon is low in the sky, just after moon-rise or before it’s about to set below the horizon. Just like the Sun, light from the Moon has to pass through a larger amount of atmosphere when it’s down near the horizon, compared to when it’s overhead.
The Earth’s atmosphere can scatter sunlight, and since moonlight is just scattered sunlight, it can scatter that too. Red light can pass through the atmosphere and not get scattered much, while light at the blue end of the spectrum is more easily scattered. When you see a red moon, you’re seeing the red light that wasn’t scattered, but the blue and green light have been scattered away. That’s why the Moon looks red. The second reason for a red moon is if there’s some kind of particle in the air.
A forest fire or volcanic eruption can fill the air with tiny particles that partially obscure light from the Sun and Moon. Once again, these particles tend to scatter blue and green light away, while permitting red light to pass through more easily. When you see a red moon, high up in the sky, it’s probably because there’s a large amount of dust in the air.
Volcanoes produce ash and will stay in the sky and cause the light rays reflection from the moon to be a red color.
At the very end of the Great Tribulation Period, there will be a lot of Volcanic Eruptions, which will produce ash clouds of dust and it will stay in the sky for several years. As people look up at the moon at night, the moon will appear to be a Blood red color, because the reflection of the light from the sun onto the moon will change as it is reflected to the earth.
The moon will not really be turned into blood.
The moon will not be affected or changed at all. It’s only the appearance that changes, as we look at it from the earth.
The actual distance varies over the course of the orbit of the moon, from 363,104 km (225,622 mi) at the perigee (closest distance) and 405,696 km (252,088 mi) at apogee (farthest distance), resulting in a differential range of 42,592 km (26,465 mi).
There is nothing on the earth that will cause the moon to turn into real blood!!!
And nothing will truly affect the moon as described in the Book of Revelation from a distance between 225,622 to 252,088 miles away; unless of course the earth explodes!!!
I hope this information helps to understand this saying in the Bible.

Just as GOD sent Angels to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah with Fire and Brimstone, Angels will be sent throughout the world during the “Great Tribulation Period” and use the elements of the earth to destroy the majority of humanity.
Revelation 8: [2] And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. [5] And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. [6] And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. [7] The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. [8] And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; [10] And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; [12] And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
Revelation 9: [1] And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. [11] And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. [13] And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, [14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Revelation 9: [15] And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Revelation 15: [1] And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. [6] And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. [7] And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. [8] And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
Revelation 16: [1] And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. [2] And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. [3] And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. [4] And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. [8] And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. [10] And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, [12] And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
