I've been tracking personal coincidences, and they've been coming almost regularly, roughly twice a week.
Thinking about it mathematically, the totality of succinctly verbalizable ideas available is finite--just as an estimate I would say one million atomic ideas, and then if you allow modification by an adjective, then maybe a million million simple concepts in the idea space.
The actual number is probably much smaller, as the English language has less than one million words, and many of the word combinations are nonsense.
So say about one million simple concepts altogether.
And instead of working down from the high side, we can work up from the low side. Basic fluency in a language requires knowing about 2,000 words. Noun x modifier would then have roughly a quarter million different combinations--assuming one-fourth of the vocabulary was nouns, and another fourth was adjectives. Again, many of the combinations would be nonsense; almost unthinkable.
For a coincidence, the same somewhat obscure item has to appear twice within a reasonably short time.
I read a lot, and I have a lot going on around me, but not nearly enough to be expecting this sort of coincidence regularly.
I also don't recall noticing so many coincidences in years before 2020 or 2021, although in retrospect I do see a few oddities scattered across earlier decades.
Some of the coincidences that have come up recently are very striking, and a number of these are best attributed to God.
I happened to read about the Gadarene swine in Mark 3 this morning before coming across this piece, which mentions it.
David Clements mentions Michael Cocchini. A quick internet search tells me that they've worked together before, and that a different Michael Cocchini--and a Susan Clements--went fatally missing in the Smoky Mountains. At separate times.
Feels like a rabbit hole.
Much like Jonathan Cahn connects the major demons of ancient Israel to today's United States, Clements says that the spirits of the Nephilim are here and active.

A couple months ago, I put a piece of paper on the fridge--our Scammer Prayer List. We were often getting multiple scam calls per day, and while probably none of them told us their real name, God stills knows who they are and where they live, and He surely has something better for them to do all day than bother people like us.
Two names went onto the list, and these scammers were duly prayed for--they still are--and suddenly the number of scam calls dropped, by a lot. The list still has only two names on it.
The Bible says that "the gates of hell" will not prevail against Christ's Church.
A boomer apologizes, albeit without much clarity.
"It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs," Jesus said; Matthew 15:26.
I recently understood that I am spending my life in rebuilding spiritual and practical foundations that had been foolishly undermined by previous generations.
