God can and will use anything from a donkey to a gourd to people like you, me, or a guy named Cruz. What we need in this country is a major shift from trusting in man back to trusting in God.

As far as your other comment, I don't want to get off on this really, but just wanted to share something with you about that.

But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him (1 Corinthians 2:9). Many stop there because that is the same verse as Isaiah 64:4 in the old testament.

But the cross of Christ has put us under under the new covenant which has changed that and so many things. We are now privy to God's plans and purposes. The verse continues,

But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God (1 Corinthians 2:10).

Well, maybe your guess at one more sweep was a hint to you from the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, similar guesses have been going on from the early days of the church. The Holy Spirit doesn’t play waffle games.

I think this is talking about the character of eternal salvation not about earthly details of passing history.
