This shocker in the political world is a reminder that God is still in charge and according to Romans 13:1, there is no political leader elected except those who are ordained of God.
Romans 13:4 says that those in elected office are ministers of God. Genesis 9:6 is the record of how God established human government. The entire Bible is a history of how God has used human government to fulfill His will. In fact, Revelation 17:17 says that God puts in the hearts of political leaders to fulfill His will especially the prophetic scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the future.
Scott Brown's victory is evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
