Just quoting the Bible doesn't mean that's what God is doing. Lee cooked up God's Economy from the Bible but does that mean that's what God is doing?
Now Cahn has cooked something up from the Bible. But again, is that what God is actually doing?
Some say they see a pattern of God's activity with the blood moons. Does God hold to patterns? Does God say, I must do things according to the blood moons?
It's all kind of funny. And like OBW pointed out, very Cargo Cultish. Even as literate and educated as we are today, compared to the primitives of the cargo cults on New Guinea, we're still operating from our primitive reptilian brain, when it comes to God.
We really are funny little critters, with our extreme desperate efforts to weave God into OUR lives. When God is already involved in everything that is going on, and we don't see it.
Here's verses from a non-canonical book:
Quote:
113. His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?"
"It will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Rather, the Father's kingdom is spread out upon the earth, and people don't see it."
- Gospel of Thomas

And even tho it's non-canonical doesn't mean it's not what God is doing.
God is doing everything. It is we that don't see it. So in our ABSENCE of seeing God, we end up looking for little scraps of what we think we see of what God is doing ... when all we need to do is open our eyes to the world and universe. Methinks we are looking way to narrow by looking only in the Bible. The Bible was written by the hands of men (and only men) when God wrote the whole universe, with His OWN hands.
That's the real WAKE UP CALL.
Talk about putting God into a box! The Bible is that box.
