Blood Rain – A Biblical Prophecy? Yes! Wait… No!

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In February 2025, a remarkable “blood rain” phenomenon occurred on Hormuz Island in Iran’s Persian Gulf. Heavy rainfall interacted with the island’s iron oxide-rich soil, turning the Silver and Red Beach’s seawater a vivid red. This striking event drew significant attention after a tour guide shared a video on Instagram, showcasing the red-tinted waves and shoreline.

Hormuz Island, often dubbed the “Rainbow Island,” is renowned for its diverse mineral-rich soil, containing over 70 different minerals. The abundance of iron oxide, locally known as “gelack,” imparts a natural red hue to the landscape, influencing both the soil and surrounding waters.

While the “blood rain” garnered widespread attention, it’s important to note that the island’s beaches typically exhibit red sands and waters due to their unique mineral composition, even without heavy rainfall. This natural coloration has led to the export of the red soil for various industrial applications, including dyeing, cosmetics, glass, and ceramics.

This phenomenon not only highlights the island’s geological uniqueness but also underscores the interplay between natural elements and local culture.

But what about fulfilling biblical prophecies? Is this event a sign from God that we are in the last days? The simple answer to that question is, “If you think it’s so, then YES!”

The purpose of all of the biblical “signs of the end times” are intended for the purpose of reminding you that you should get your life in order, so that you will be prepared for Jesus Christ when He returns. Repent, be baptized, and apply the attornment in your life to be forgiven of your sins. This is the purpose of all of the end-times prophecies.

But, let’s examine the scriptures that we have been given to see if these “blood Rains” are actually a sign from God. In the Bible, there are passages that describe events such as blood-red skies, plagues, and strange natural occurrences, which are sometimes interpreted as signs of the final days. Some of these include:

  1. Joel 2:30-31 – “I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.”
  2. Revelation 6:12-13 – “I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.”

These prophecies speak of unusual and alarming signs, such as blood-red skies or unusual weather phenomena, which some people interpret as symbols of the end times or as literal events that will occur as part of God’s judgment.

The rain upon soils containing high levels of iron oxide turning the water red doesn’t really fit the description in the scriptures provided above. As one who studies end-times scriptures intently, I would have to rule this one out as and end-times prophecy. However, this brings us to a very important topic of the “Signs of the Times,” and how they fit with God using natural causes to create them.

For example, lets take the blood moon that recently happened on March 13, 2025. Was the moon actually covered with “Blood?”

A blood moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse. Here’s how it happens simply:

  1. Earth’s Shadow: The Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, and Earth’s shadow falls on the Moon.
  2. Light Filtering: While the Moon is in Earth’s shadow, sunlight still reaches it, but it has to pass through Earth’s atmosphere first.
  3. Scattering of Light: As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, shorter wavelengths (like blue) scatter more, while longer wavelengths (like red) pass through more easily. This red light then shines onto the Moon, giving it a reddish appearance.
  4. Full Eclipse: When the Moon is fully in the Earth’s shadow, it can appear a bright, deep red, often called a “blood moon.”

Where this blood moon, I feel was indeed a sign of the end times, it was created by God using “Natural, or Scientific Means.” When you think about it, God will use natural means to create many of the end times prophecies. Earthquakes, weather events, turning rivers to blood, blood moons, and a darkened sun, etc. These will involve the hand of God through natural means.

Again, since the purpose of these warnings is to help us prepare to meet Jesus Christ, if you or I see something that you feel is an end-times prophecy, by all means treat it as such…and continue to know that He is coming, and continue to do what you need to do in your preparation.

God will speak to you through these signs. In addition to getting you prepared, He is wanting to know that He has things under control, and things are moving right along with His plan. And, as you know, God and His followers will win the battle with evil… for the book has already been written, and the ending announced.

God and His followers will once again live upon this earth which will be changed to a glorious place. We will live with Jesus Christ. No evil will be on this earth, and satan and his followers will have been cast out. How’s this for the perfect neighborhood? I can’t wait, as this will be the place that I have always wanted to live in. No more Karen’s =)

I invite you to be excited about these end times, for God will be with you, shouldering you along the way until we reach this awesome life after death. Be comforted in knowing that you do not need to be in charge, for God is at the command and is watching the battle plan unfold. He will allow things to play out as He has already informed us of what they will be. So, relax…help your neighbor and family prepare, and follow your promptings…That’s all you have to do.

I’d like to close with this. God has created this earth for us to explore and find adventure. It will be the same in the “New Earth” that He will create for us. I look forward to exploring and finding the new adventures that will be there. Will you join me?
