The January 20 to January 21 Blood Moon eclipse falls exactly 355 days after the Super Blue Blood Moon of 2018 – 10 days short of a full year. The Blood Moon eclipse is widely considered by Christian conspiracists a sinister portent of doom. And the number 10 has foreboding importance in the Bible, with the digit linked throughout the Holy Book to passages of destruction. In the Old Testament, exactly 10 generations of mankind have lived upon the Earth before God’s wrath washed them away in a great flood.
God said in Genesis 6:5-8: “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
Then, Egypt was punished by God with 10 deadly plagues for the plight of the Jewish people living in slavery under the Pharaoh.
Exodus 6:6-7 reads: “I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.
“I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.”

Devout Jews who celebrate their freedom from slavery on the holiday of Passover traditionally would slaughter the Passover lamb on the 10th day of the celebration.
And the Day of Atonement Yom Kippur, the holiest of Jewish holidays, is observed on the 10th day of the seventh month of Tishrei in the Hebrew calendar.
The number 10 reappears during Israel’s escape from slavery when God handed his 10 Commandments to Moses.
Exodus 20:20-21 reads: “Moses said to the people, ‘Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning’.”
