Nevertheless, President Obama’s nominee of Secretary of Defense brings to question Obama’s true desires. Is
the nomination of Chuck Hagel to Secretary of Defense a sign of what is to come? Chuck Hagel doesn’t believe
in sanctions for Iran. Hasn’t Iran openly stated it will wipe Israel off the face of the earth? Republican Senator
Lindsey Graham said Chuck Hagel “seems clueless” on U.S. policy toward Iran and he urged the Obama
administration to reconsider its defense secretary nominee. Chuck Hagel says his positions on Israel has been
“completely distorted,” though he acknowledges that “I have also questioned some very cavalier attitudes taken about very
complicated issues in the Middle East” in the Washington Post - 01/08/2013. Is this a sign of weakness on the part of
President Obama’s nominee for defense secretary going to impact the future of the United States and Israel? We
will see that President Obama’s second term in office is even more important than his first regarding the nation
of Israel. We know through heavenly signs that the years of 2014 and 2015 are significant to the nation of Israel.
It is because there will be four blood moons seen in the heavens above Jerusalem - two on Passover and the
others during the Feast of Tabernacles. These blood moon events will repeat themselves in 2015 after a total
solar eclipse occurs in March 20, 2015. A partial eclipse at sunrise will occur on September 13, 2015 prior to the
last blood moon. Total solar eclipses are considered a bad omen for surrounding nations. It brings darkness to
the location in which it occurs. Therefore, its location is significant to the event. Blood moons are an omen for
the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. These blood moons and solar eclipses are determined by the heavenly
ordinances at creation. They have been designed by God to occur on these exact dates and predicted by NASA.

There are three sets of blood moons or lunar eclipses that corresponded to significant events in the historic past.
The Spanish Inquisition’s final year of 1492 was the first in the most recent series of consecutive blood moons.
This is when the Alhambra Decree ordered all remaining Jews who would not convert to Christianity to leave
Spain. The Israeli 1948 War of Independence and the 1967 Israeli Six-Day War were the later events. All of these
earthly events had back-to-back blood or red moons occur on the first day of Passover and Sukkot as well as the
following year. Sukkot is a Hebrew word signifying the Feast of Tabernacles. The Passover Feast has significance
to both the Jews and Christians. It was during the time of Passover that Christ instituted the Lord’s Supper.

John 13:1 “Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would
depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to
168
the end.”
Mark 14:25 “Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink
169
it new in the kingdom of God.”
It was Moses in Exodus 12:21 that called the elders of Israel to sacrifice a lamb during Passover. How
appropriate that the Lord’s Supper first occurred during Passover. Christ is the ultimate Lamb of God that was
slain. Sukkot תוכוס or תֹוכֻּס sukkōt, sukkos is the Feast of Booths as referred to in the Bible or the Feast of
Tabernacles. The Hebrew word sukkōt is the plural of sukkah meaning “booth or tabernacle.” It is a biblical holiday
celebrated on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei which occurs from late September to early October. The
