Matthew 20:25-27

King James Version

25 But Jesus called them unto him,

and said,

Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles

exercise dominion over them,

and they that are great

exercise authority upon them.

26 But it shall not be so among you:

but whosoever will be great among you,

let him be your minister;

27 And whosoever will be chief among you,

let him be your servant:

What do politics have to do with tornadoes?

What do tornadoes have to do with politics?

Surely, I'm off my rocker?

Seeing a connection, where many may not.

Consider these things:

The 5 February 2008 primaries:

"The event began on Super Tuesday, while 24 states in the United States were holding primary elections and caucuses to select the presidential candidates for the upcoming presidential election"

-- Wikipedia

They called it:

"Giga Tuesday", "Mega Giga Tuesday", "Tsunami Tuesday" or even "Super Duper Tuesday"

-- Wikipedia

Then a STRANGE thing happened:

"The 2008 Super Tuesday tornado outbreak[2] was a deadly tornado outbreak which affected the Southern United States and the lower Ohio Valley on February 5 and 6, 2008.

The outbreak generated 87 tornadoes over 15 hours from the afternoon of February 5 until the early morning of February 6.

A total of 57 people were killed across four states and 18 counties, with hundreds of others injured."

-- Wikipedia

Eighty-seven tornadoes hit that VERY same day.

Talking about Super, Giga, Mega Giga, Tsunami, and Super Duper.

And I'm not talking about the primaries.

We really have to watch our words.

What's most unusual is this:

"Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Alabama, and Tennessee were among the affected regions in which primaries were being held."

-- Wikipedia

Another CURIOUS thing was this -- notice the phrase in bold letters:

"To increase importance of their votes, 24 states with over half the delegates to the national conventions moved to change their primary dates to February 5, 2008, creating the largest "Super Tuesday" to date."

-- Wikipedia

That means, February 5 wasn't the original primary date.

I don't know what was, but all that matters for this post is that the date was MOVED to February 5.

The VERY same day the tornado outbreak occurred.

If you don't appreciate these strange connections, then you haven't really worked with SPIRIT.

He gives me ALL the clues, prompts, guidance, and verses.

I'm only able to tell you all these because of SPIRIT.

And we always connect world events with Scripture.

In our two tornado articles* the past days, we've acknowledged the power GOD has over EVERYTHING.

Isaiah 40:21-24

King James Version

21 Have ye not known?

have ye not heard?

hath it not been told you from the beginning?

have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?

22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth,

and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers;

that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain,

and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

23 That bringeth the princes to nothing;

he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.

24 Yea, they shall not be planted;

yea, they shall not be sown:

yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth:

and he shall also blow upon them,

and they shall wither,

and the whirlwind shall take them away

as stubble.

Was GOD displeased about something?

Did it have something to do with the candidates for president?

Did GOD know what those politicians were up to?

Surely, for only GOD knows our hearts:

1 Samuel 16:7

King James Version

7 But the Lord said unto Samuel,

Look not on his countenance,

or on the height of his stature;

because I have refused him:

for the Lord seeth not as man seeth;

for man looketh on the outward appearance,

but the Lord looketh on the heart.

Psalm 14:2

King James Version

2 The Lord looked down from heaven

upon the children of men,

to see if there were any that did understand,

and seek God.

Jeremiah 17:10

King James Version

10 I the Lord search the heart,

I try the reins,

even to give every man according to his ways,

and according to the fruit of his doings.

And you know what Scripture reveals about man?

Romans 3:9-10

King James Version

9 What then?

are we better than they?

No, in no wise:

for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles,

that they are all under sin;

10 As it is written,

There is none righteous,

no, not one:

Romans 3:11

King James Version

11 There is none that understandeth,

there is none that seeketh after God.

Romans 3:12

King James Version

12 They are all gone out of the way,

they are together become unprofitable;

there is none that doeth good,

no, not one.

Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned,

and come short of the glory of God;

Surely, GOD knows candidates' agendas.

He knows EVERYTHING we have in our heart.

ESPECIALLY when it pertains to His chosen nation.

Unless politicians love GOD, they cannot love others.

Unless they are a true born again, they won't accept His laws.

Unless they're taught by SPIRIT, they can't possibly understand Scripture.

Unless they believe in JESUS, they can't lead perfectly.

We will always fall short.

What of the forthcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election?

"The 2024 United States presidential election will be the 60th quadrennial presidential election, set to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.Voters will elect a president and vice president for a term of four years. Incumbent President Joe Biden, a member of the Democratic Party, is running for re-election.[2] His predecessor Donald Trump, a member of the Republican Party, is running for re-election for a second, non-consecutive term, after losing to him in 2020."

-- Wikipedia

The ONLY thing that caught my eye?

"the 60th quadrennial presidential election"

And all I can say is UH-OH.

The number "60" stands for "PRIDE".

"Keys to Scripture Numerics" says so.

King Solomon's words come to mind:

Ecclesiastes 1:1-2

King James Version

1 The words of the Preacher,

the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

2 Vanity of vanities,
