And a temporary coincidence at that.
Due to precession, Polaris has only been a true pole star for the past several centuries. It will get closest to the pole position in about another 100 years, then drift back out.
Interestingly, due to the slow movement of the Moon's orbit outward over the eons, hundreds of millions of years ago the Moon was closer, and completely covered the sun so there were no annular eclipses. Hundreds of millions of years from now, the Moon won't be able to cover the whole sun. Only in this era are those cool "ring" effects possible.
So if these are signs from God blessing the Earth, they must be a specific blessing on our particular time on it.
