I share this on social media every year at the Worm Moon, so this year it becomes a quick post here!
The Worm Moon is a traditional name for the March Full Moon, this year on 3/25/2024 and next year is 3/14/2025. Not only is the 3/25/2024 Full Moon the Worm Moon; it is also called the Paschal Full Moon, as it occurs after the March equinox. Plus, this year the Full Worm Moon will coincide with a penumbral lunar eclipse.
Easter always occurs on the first Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon, in 2024 Easter falls on March 31st.
Historically, we are told the Full Moon in March is called the Worm Moon due to the surfacing of earthworms. The soil is warming from winter, worms come out and attract robins which is a clear sign of springs arrival. As you read below it’s hard to see this moon only referring to the start of Spring.
The Crimson Worm
Check out this brief video as it explains the connection of Jesus Christ and the Crimson Worm.
What Does Scripture Say?
Psalms 22:6
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
Isaiah 1:18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isaiah 14:11
Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
Acts 5:30
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Galatians 3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Ephesians 5:2
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Job 25:4-6
How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
OTHER INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE CRIMSON WORM
•After laying her eggs, under her protective shell, her larva feeds on her living body for 3 days. When she dies she excretes a scarlet dye that stains the tree and the baby worm
•On day 4 the mother worm pulls into a heart shape, looses her crimson color, and turns to white snow-like wax
•The Crimson worm is common to the region of old Israel.
• In ancient days the dead bodies of the female Crimson worms were scraped from the tree, dried, and then ground into a powder that was used to dye their cloth and garments a scarlet or red color.
tôlâ‛ ( to-law' ) is the same for worm and scarlet in Hebrew. This is the same as the scarlet of the curtains in the Tabernacle, same as those torn in two at the crucifixion.
Exodus 26:1
Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.
• They are round, about the size of a pea. Because they don't look like a worm, some people thought they were part of a plant.
• The crushed worm was also used to make medicine that helps the heart beat smoothly
• The white wax body was used to make shellac, a preservative of wood.
Red Heifer Sacrifice
Of course there is a connection to the red heifers and the worm, or 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘵.
Numbers 19:6
And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
We know that Jesus Christ is the once and for all of time sacrifice. Sacrificing any animal on Passover would be blasphemy but those that do not believe Jesus Christ to be mankind’s Savior don’t see it that way.
In 2021 Prominent Rabbis Ask Netanyahu to Allow the Passover Sacrifice on Temple Mount to stop the pandemic, officially it was not granted.
This video from 2021 explains what was known at that time.
The video covers that ‘no sacrifice will be acceptable to God so there would be no need for the adherence to biblical law to still be the sacrifices mentioned by the prophet, Daniel. They would only need to adhere to Jewish law and regulations.’
Next, in 2022, we see the Red Heifers arrived in Israel and the plans for high speed rail to bring people to the Third Temple were well underway.
RED HEIFERS WAITING IN ISRAEL
The Red Heifers have been ready, and waiting, since October 2023. Sacrifices were expected in 10/2023 but we all know what occurred 10/7/2023.
Was this a major reason for the 10/7/2023 attack to stop the sacrifice? 10/7/2023 attack of Israel is now being blamed, in part, on the Red Heifers being brought into Israel.
We have seen headlines, news coverage and continual treading on social media relating to the Red Heifers. Now, the Passover sacrifice on the Mt of Olives seems to be the expectation. Passover 2024, will fall the week of 4/22-30/2024.
Even before Passover of 2024 is the Sabbath of the Red Heifer. On the 2nd of Nissan, in 1312 BCE, and one day after the inauguration of the Tabernacle, Moses prepared the very first Red Heifer, in order to ritually purify the Jewish nation in preparation for the bringing of the Paschal Lamb in the newly erected Sanctuary. Nissan 2 is 4/10/2024.
If the sacrifice does not occur by Passover as anticipated, it’s expected to be completed by Shavuot, 6/11-13/ 2024.
Is the Great American Eclipse pointing 14 days out to the 14th of Nisan, or the start of Passover on 4/22-23/2024.
The Ring of Fire / Annular Eclipse of 10/14/2023 was seven days after the 10/7 attack of Israel so planning a major event 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 the eclipse of this standing seems plausible.
Continue to watch and be aware as many believers, and those who do not, will certainly have questions as this timeline continues to build.
