Revelation 6:12 does not describe the moon as shining bright red. You are twisting the scripture to fit your doctrine, as you so often do.
Revelation 6:12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.
For one thing, it's highly questionable as to whether Revelation 6:12-17 should be taken literally since it talks about stars falling to earth and such. But even if it was meant to be taken literally, do you understand that the only reason the moon gives light is because of the light of the sun reflecting off of it? Notice what this verse says. It says "the sun became black as sackcloth of hair". How can the moon shine without the sun shining on it? It can't. You are failing to look at the context of the verse. The moon appearing red does not mean that it's shining and giving off light. If it was meant to be taken literally, it would appear red if the sun is being blocked like during a solar eclipse or if there is something blocking the sun's light from fully reaching the moon such as a lot of smoke or ash.
So, the following two passage are about the same event.
Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Revelation 6:12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
