Is He waiting for a lunar eclipse to do something? The Jewish calendar came out of the Babylonia lunar year. It was not accurate and had to be adjusted from time to time to match the solar year.
Since the 16th century we no longer think the earth is the center of the universe. The church fought it. They could not stop thinking they were the center of everything. They burned at the stake over it.
And this blood moon thing is nothing more than our inability to let go of the idea that we are the center of everything; the lingering, hundreds of years later, of the church fighting against the earth not being the center of it all.
And our dear Jewish brother Cahn is still caught up in that kind of thinking.
Should our modern minds that know better embrace it?
Just askin'?

Little obfuscation on my breakfast cereal?
Methinks you got things backwards. Then you throw in some papal nonsense from their dark ages.
God did not wait for the Star of Bethleham in order for Jesus to be born, rather He sovereignly arranged prophecy, world events, and the celestials in order to prepare and announce this most incredible event.
I never read Cahn's books so I really can't answer the rest of your questions.
