JOEL - Thank you for directing me to that talk. Here is what President Hinckley said and the scriptures he quoted:

"The vision of Joel has been fulfilled wherein he declared:"

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call” (Joel 2:28–32).
(Gordon B. Hinckley, “Living in the Fulness of Times,” Ensign, Nov. 2001, 4)

After reviewing the talk, I think you might be reading a little too much into this. President Hinckley was quoting the scriptures in Joel and in 2 Timothy in reference to the following things:
In these latter days, young men have seen visions, such as Joseph Smith and other latter-day prophets.
Scientific discoveries are advancing because of the pouring out of the spirit "upon all flesh".
Perilous times with people that are dispisers of those that are good - refering to the 9/11 terrorists attacks.

All of these he mentions in his talk. He did not, however, elaborate at all about the moon turning to blood; that just happened to be in the scriptures he quoted in support of the other things. I am sure if you were to ask him specifically about it, he would not agree that the moon turining to blood event has happened yet. Some of the things in that prophecy will happen in the future, just before Christ comes. This of course is just my opinion.

RAY - Thankyou for your reply...although I feel that after careful re-reading and having the Holy Ghost confirm to me...it is true. It is NOT to create any contention..I love the gospel and have done massive research on modern prophecies, and feel that YOU have also!! and I do respect your answer, but lets go to the third paragraph, last sentence:
"The vision of JOEL has been FULFILLED, wherein he declared: (Joel 2:28-32) and Pres. Hinckley quotes the whole scripture of Joel 2:28-32.
There is a talk by than Pres. Smith, 1966, that goes hand in hand with this great talk from Pres. Hinckley.
It took 40 yrs, from the time Pres. Joseph F. Smith's talk about the future, to Pres. Hinckley's talk!!
There have many signs just in the last 5 yrs, that should have all of the members excited, not in fear...well...I do hope we can see, and have the Holy Ghost guide us through the next few yrs. of test we are surely going to have.
Thankyou again, Joel for a wonderful site that you supervise, and I wish the greatest blessings on You, and your site!!

JOEL - Thanks for your comments. I am not so sure yet about the moon thing but I think it is quite obvious that many of the signs of the Second Coming are making themselves known to us now and will no doubt increase as the time gets closer. Those who are prepared will not fear..
