The thing about this is that it is four total lunar eclipses in succession with no partial ones in between that all fall on feast days. That is what makes it rare. There are other tetrads, but they either have partial eclipses in between or they do not all fall on feast days.

The Jewish calendar was never supposed to be lunisolar. That was probably adopted after the Babylonian exile or possibly from Canaanite influence that lead to the exile.
According to the Flood account, 5 months is exactly 150 days. That means 30 days per month. A lunar month alternates between 29 to 30 days.
Rosh Hhodesh literally means 'head of the month' yet the rabbis insist on defining it as 'new moon'. The words for moon in hebrew are 'labanah' and 'yareach'. The moon has nothing to do with Rosh Hhodesh unless you're a Babylonian pagan.
Look at the legal system in Jesus' day. The Sadducees, Pharisees, and Essenes all disagreed on how the Holy calendar worked. Today Israel is no less confused, revering the moon like the Muslims do. Its corruption!
Sundials and water clocks are as old as civilization. Mechanical clocks – and, with them, the word “clock” – go back to 13th century Europe. But these contraptions do nothing that nature did not already do. The spinning Earth is a clock. A dividing cell is a clock. Radioactive isotopes are clocks. So the origin of clocks is a question not for history but for physics, and there the trouble begins. You might innocently think of clocks as things that tell time, but according to both of the pillars of modern physics, time is not something you can measure. Quantum theory describes how the world changes in time. We observe those changes and infer the passage of time, but time itself is intangible. Einstein’s theory of general relativity goes further and says that time has no objective meaning. The world does not, in fact, change in time; it is a gigantic stopped clock. This freaky revelation is known as the problem of frozen time or simply the problem of time. If clocks do not tell time, then what do they tell? A leading idea is that what we perceive as “change” is not variation in time but a pattern among the universe’s components – the fact, for example, that if Earth is at a certain position in its orbit, the other planets are at specific positions in theirs. Physicist Julian Barbour developed this relational view of time in the winning entry for the Foundational Questions Institute essay contest last year. He argued that because of the cosmic patterns, each piece of the universe is a microcosm of the whole. We can use Earth’s orbit as a reference for reconstructing the positions of the other planets. In other words, Earth’s orbit serves as a clock. It does not tell time but rather the positions of the other Earth’s orbit serves as a clock. It does not tell time but rather the positions of the other planets.
By Barbour’s reasoning, all clocks are approximate; no single piece of a system can fully capture the whole. Any clock eventually skips a beat, runs backward or seizes up. The only true clock is the universe itself. In a sense, then, clocks have no origin. They have been here all along. They are what make the concept of ‘origin’ possible to begin with. – George Musser
When reviewing the historical accuracy of Biltz’s claim that Jewish history seems to converge with lunar eclipse tetrads that fall on Jewish feast days, we find that it’s not very accurate at all.
Another point is that the dates of the historical events for which these tetrads supposedly correlate do not seem to correlate very well at all to the dates of the tetrads themselves.
If Biltz and Hagee are really suggesting that God uses these tetrads as a means of communicating to Israel about coming events, where were the warnings about the far greater and far worse events the Jewish people have faced?
Israel uses a lunar calendar, and they base their feast days upon the phases of the moon. Logic would dictate that because of this fact alone, lunar eclipses will fall on Jewish feast days with some regularity.
Did you know that there were actually two other tetrad events that fell on Jewish holidays that Biltz found in the NASA computers? Well, he did, but he doesn’t like to say much about those because, even according to him, nothing significant happened on those two occasions.

So what is a red blood moon tetrad? This is a one year time frame when a tetrad (meaning four) red blood moons appear in the sky. Throughout history there have been many red blood moons appear so what makes this red blood moon tetrad so special?
...etc....

So what about the holocaust? No blood moons? Could there have ever been a more terrible time for the Jewish people?
Shame cosmology missed that one. Seems like a whopper of a mistake.

Hahahahaha, maybe that's because the holocaust never happened!?
Jk....bad jk, but jk none the less.

............ All of the prophecies of the end speak of Israel. So even though Israel was established through the agency of mankind, it's still there as a nation now in fulfillment of prophecy.
