A friend of mine sent me some information gleaned from a few websites:
Blood Moons
The scientific term for the event is “lunar tetrad,” four successive total lunar eclipses, with no partial lunar eclipses in between, each of which is separated from the other by six lunar months (six full moons).
Three times in the past five hundred years four blood moons have appeared in the sky on major Jewish holidays. Each appearance of these four blood moons heralded something extraordinary for the Jewish people.
• In 1492 and 1493, the Jews were driven out of Spain and Christopher Columbus discovered the New World.
• In 1948 the modern state of Israel was born.
• In 1967 Jerusalem was unified.
Summary of problems:
a. Tetrad eclipse moon sequences are historically common.
b. If four lunar eclipses are a sign to Israel, then many very important past events like the birth of Christ, Destruction of Jerusalem, Hadrian's and Hitler's Holocaust were not marked by God with Tetrads!
c. Lunar eclipses are common on Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles.
d. Without fail, solar eclipses always occur just before the start of a new month. There is a one in six chance that a solar eclipse will happen on the Jewish New year around Nisan 1. Nothing special about the solar eclipse on Adar 29 2015 Hagee makes so much about!
e. Of the 8 lunar and solar eclipses, Hagee ignores three.
f. In 2014/15 there are 4 solar eclipses but Hagee highlights only one eclipse and ignores the other four.
g. Few of the eclipses start at the beginning of the Feast days only within the 7 day range for each.
h. Hagee says Lunar eclipses are a sign to Israel, yet none of the Lunar eclipses are visible in Jerusalem, except 1 which is only partially visible.
i. Hagee says Solar eclipses are a sign to the rest of the world, yet the one he says is a sign (after ignoring three others) is not visible by anyone on earth since it is centered entirely over the ocean near Greenland, except for the small population of people living on the Faroe and Spitzburgn Islands.
j. There were four Tetrads where the four sequential eclipses coincided with Passover and Feast of Tabernacles that Hagee totally ignored because nothing significant occurred in that year:
