I heard also years ago like Darwin mentioned that this day is associated with Hitlers birthday. And also Nation pot day. Is there any truth to these comments?

Absolutely true

420 is associated with pot. Nobody knows for sure but the myth, if it is a myth, is that some kids after school would get together at 4:20p.m. and smoke their marijuana. That is what I have heard. I have no idea how truthful that is, that is what I had heard on a documentary about marijuana in the United States probably 10years ago. And in that documentary, they stated that is the supposed myth behind 4:20

And also don’t forget April 20 is Hitler’s birthday. I remember back when I was a kid. Somebody always pulled something that week of his birthday. I remember there was problems with skinheads on that week a lot and just random people honoring Hitler.

April 20th is also Adolf Hitler's birthday and was referenced by the Columbine shooters.

April 20th is also the date of Hitler’s birthday, which was one of the motives for the Columbine murderers choosing it.

And just yesterday on 4/19/2026, Shreveport, LA experienced the nightmare of 8 children being gunned down and two women injured in some type of domestic situation. 7 of the children were reported to be the shooter's children. The shooter was killed in a firefight with police. Prayers going out to everyone who was affected.

Keith, thanks for the heads up on these dates. I did not realize their significance!

Did you see this one, too?

MEXICO CITY — The gunman who opened fire on tourists at Mexico's iconic Teotihuacan pyramids carried materials that were apparently related to the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School, authorities said Tuesday, a day after the attack that killed a Canadian woman and left at least 13 people injured.

Aside from being Hitler's b-day, it is also an imp. occult date/season.

I always wonder which is true:

"he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him." 1 Jn 5:18

But we know that's not entirely true. In fact the very next verse says,

"the whole world lies in the power of the evil one."

Maybe both are true in that believers are not of this world?
