Hello John (and doves),
John, in your post you said "it is as if God arranged the sun, the moon, and the Earth to cause the eclipses to happen precisely to coincide with key dates associated with both men."

This stood out because in the book of Genesis, the sun, moon, and  stars are set in the sky after the earth is formed. Genesis 1:1-19  They were completed on the 4th day. God did make the lights to enlighten earth (not just visible light, but the light of signs that He talks about. Just as a road is built before the signage is placed, God made the earth and then the signage. John, this email is in agreement with you that God arranged these signs to appear at a certain time, not a random time. The earth was placed first, then the signage according to Genesis. At what point are roadsigns placed? At points where drivers need this information to not go astray. God planned the signs and set them up (literally) to appear at points in time to enlighten those looking for Him.

God is so kind to set signs up above that match the written word. There is darkening of sun and moon (eclipses), stars falling (maybe the comets, meteor showers or the way constellations change position with the seasons) and the timing to match dates such as Passover and Sukkot as when a lock is turned and it clicks into place. God's divine appointments,the stars position, world events all lining up. The tetrads are not accidental, they occur as a result of when God made these celestial objects and set them in the sky in their paths. God is the architect and engineer of the sky.

I don't know if this is significant in relation to the count of 532, but here is Genesis 5:32, which brings up Noah and his sons who would be saved. ³² And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Link to biblewheel for gematria ;seems to speak of provision for Jacob and of judgement

The Genesis verses:

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

² And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

³ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

⁴ And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

⁵ And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

⁶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

⁷ And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

⁸ And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

⁹ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

¹⁰ And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

¹¹ And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

¹² And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

¹³ And the evening and the morning were the third day.

¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

¹⁵ And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

¹⁶ And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

¹⁸ And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

¹⁹ And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

The signs are made and give light to the earth the day after the earth is separated from water and filled with plant life. First earth, then signs. At the rapture, the light of Christ in His body is separated from the darkness, however, the "first" light that apostle John talks about will be available for people to call on, who is Christ, the light of the world. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

The placement and timing of when celestial objects are seen is by the planning and hand of God.

Look up, our redemption draws nigh.

Maranatha
