Did Lightning Really Strike Vatican After Pope's Resignation?
February 12, 2013; 9:40 AM

News hit the Net yesterday afternoon that lightning had struck The Vatican twice, just hours after Pope after Pope Benedict XVI's sudden resignation. As a lightning photographer and weather photo hoax buster, I investigated to see if the photo was real....

Calm down, lightning hits tall buildings all the time, there is probably a lightning rod on top of that spire, they were invented in ben franklins time

The following verse in the book of Revelation represents the answer to the prayers of the saints and the way God sends them.

Revelations 8: [SUP]3 [/SUP]Another angel with a golden censer came and stood at the altar; he was given a great quantity of incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar that is before the throne. [SUP]4 [/SUP]And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. [SUP]5 [/SUP]Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.


Every time we read about God talking to us or people see only his presence it has been in the form of strong winds, clouds , lightning, earthquake ext.

I wonder if we are actually seeing the true answer from God to the prayers of the Pope

I believe in signs from God but sometimes people look too hard for them, there was a 3 hour thunderstorm over rome, big building with a metal roof and pointed spire is hit by lighting, yes twice, but that's not uncommon,

If its a sign from God, usually it designates Gods anger, at least according to the bible

Maby when the earth starts shaking under rome, they will get the message, I don't need a pope or. Fancy complicated rituals, its simple, give your life to Jesus, do what he says, they have made things far too complicated.

Anyone else find it weird that someone actually managed to get a photo of this at such perfect timing?

Guys there is no such thing as a coincidence, this isn't just some random lightning strike.
