“The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.”
–Proverbs 16:33
co·in·ci·dence | \ kō-ˈin(t)-sə-dən(t)s
noun
the occurrence of events that happen at the same time by accident but seem to have some connection
A coincidence is a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances that have no apparent causal connection with one another. The perception of remarkable coincidences may lead to supernatural, occult, or paranormal claims. Or it may lead to belief in fatalism, which is a doctrine that events will happen in the exact manner of a predetermined plan.
The world–-particularly the world’s media–-will NEVER quit trying to convince the reader that seemingly-connected events are happenings of sheer randomness and/or chance; that these apparently-connected events are NOT connected; that these oddly-linked happenings are nothing more more than pure chance.
Pure chance!

Sometimes, the official explanations deserve a shout out.
Because they are so–so, bold-faced.
The Science Behind Coincidence
[Psychiatrist Bernard Beitman, a visiting psychiatry and neurobehavioral sciences professor at the University of Virginia and a coincidence researcher] …says it’s synchronicities, indicators of an invisible network that connects everyone and everything. Beitman suspects humans transmit some unobserved energetic information, which other people then process or organize into emotion and behavior.
There’s no evidence for this, but he’s not the first one to pursue this fringe line of thinking.
“There’s no evidence of this” is a PERFECT observation to make about coincidence: there is NO evidence ever needed for one to declare two seemingly-connected events a “coincidence.”
Just make the declaration that those two events are nothing more than a “coincidence” and THAT is all the evidence needed to stop any discussion that they are related in some manner.
Which is the main reason “coincidence” is the PERFECT word for the times of deception in which we now live: no evidence is required in order to tag an event with the label of “coincidence.” THEN, two events which most uninterested bystanders might see as part of a whole are automatically disconnected–because they are just a “coincidence.”
There’s one other reason “coincidence” is such a handy word to use these days.
“Coincidence” is a word often used by the lost, wicked and foolish to deny God controls all.
It is the ultimate defense against the assertion that God’s unseen hand is often in events which may seem related.
Which is why the following phrase is so popular among the lost:
“Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
Of course, the whole premise of that claim falls apart upon a study of the question, “Has God wished to remain anonymous?”
Just as the whole premise of “coincidence” falls apart upon any long, hard study of the term and its many claims down through the years.
ONE LAST QUESTION:
Would a God who wished to remain anonymous give the world the Bible, which is an entire book predicated on the idea that God wishes his creation to know and obey Him?
IS the reader struck by the many occurrences of coincidence?
HAS the reader ever been told that two apparently-linked events are nothing more than a coincidence?
DID the reader accept this “explanation” which explains nothing?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
