This happens every couple decades. Why read “act of God” into a recurring, cyclic event?

Because this is occurring at the same time many other signs given for the soon return of Jesus Christ are happening.

If this was 1940, for example, before Israel had become a nation which started God's prophetic time clock ticking, and there was a "plague of grasshoppers", it wouldn't mean anything.

But when this is one of the signs of the end of the age, and it is happening in conjunction with all the other signs given, it is very important.
