I am certain the world will never be the same again. Superficially perhaps, for a short time, but you know the verse. "And they cried peace and safety, but sudden destruction..."The world as we know it now, will not continue for much longer,
But obviously, the Covid 19 is not 'sudden destruction'.I am certain the world will never be the same again. Superficially perhaps, for a short time, but you know the verse. "And they cried peace and safety, but sudden destruction..."
My friend. I am not suggesting that covid 19 is a part of the plagues or a part of the final judgement. No, that is yet to come. But are those birth pangs increasing in intensity? You betcha. Increasing in frequency? Absolutey. The beginning of sorrows? Yeap. You see I have an idea of where we are precisely on the timeline. The destruction of Jerusalem was a precursor...a type... Of the destruction you speak of. History repeats. Jerusalems judgement came in two stages. The abomination of desolation that Jesus told us to watch out for came in two stages, and will repeat. First, the Roman idolatrous sun worshipping armies planted their flags on holy ground. But they withdrew allowing the Christians to take to the hills. This they did, and not one Christian died in the second seige. I believe we are witnessing the gathering of the armies of Rome globally in order to eventually destroy Gods people. The evidence of connections between this virus and Rome are mounting. Kabala beliefs are inherent in the powers that seek to overturn our society in order to establish their luciferian doctrines. And those Noahide laws are an interesting addition to the recipe. But Rome's footprint is all over this.But obviously, the Covid 19 is not 'sudden destruction'.
What that will be is told to us in over 100 Bible prophesies; The Lord will send fire, an explosion of the suns surface, that will literally fulfil all those graphic prophesies.
Joel 1:15 The day is near, the Day of the Lord it comes as a mighty destruction from Almighty God.
Joel 2:1-5 Blow the trumpet in Israel, sound the alarm in Jerusalem. Let all who live in the Land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming – it is close at hand. A Day of darkness and clouds.
Like [at] the dawn, an innumerable host comes across the land, such as never was and will never be again. A fire goes before them, leaving wasteland behind. With a great noise they leap mountains and consume everything to stubble.
Joel 2:6-11 At the sight of them, all the nations are in anguish. They march in line, none swerving against any defence. They rush upon cities and enter houses through the windows. The earth quakes and the sky is darkened. The Lord thunders at the head of His army, beyond number are those who obey His command. The Day of the Lord is great and dreadful, who can endure it?
Joel 1:6-12 & 19-20 this invading host destroys trees and crops. Fire has burnt the pastures and trees. All the streams have dried up.
The Day of the Lord, as described by Joel is not Armageddon, at the Return of Jesus or at the Great White Throne judgement. It is plainly an event before then, also prophesied in Isaiah 2:12-21, Revelation 6:12-17, Ezekiel 7:2-9: + over other 100 times.
Joel uses the metaphor of an army to describe how this destruction moves across the earth as it rotates- ‘with the dawn’. As nations turn to face the sun, the effects of a Coronal Mass Ejection- sunstrike will hit them. Initially, it will strike the earth as a light flash [Isaiah 30:26a] within 8 minutes, then the highly charged cosmic particles arrive about 24 hours later, causing immense destruction and deaths. Fires and volcanic eruptions will result in smoke and ash clouds, covering the sky. Isaiah 29:5-6, Psalms 18:7-15, Jeremiah 4:23-28
Judah [the current State of Israel] is affected- Hosea 8:14, Eze. 20:45-48, Isa 4:3-4.
And the Lord’s enemies: Isaiah 22:5-14, Psalms 83:1-18, Isaiah 63:1-6. Isaiah 66:15-17, plus many others.
Deuteronomy 32:34-43 says how He will act when His enemies ‘foot will slip”. That is they make a mistake. That mistake will be their instigating an attack against Israel.
Malachi 4:1-3 Surely the day of the Lord is coming, it will burn like a furnace. All the evildoers will be as stubble, they will be burned up. They will be ashes under your feet. But for you, who revere My Name, righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. You will rejoice and prevail over the wicked on the Day that I act against them.
THEN the many prophecies that describe the migration of all true believers into the Promised Land will come to pass. This great exodus of His faithful Christian people will fulfil the promises that God made to the Patriarchs and they will, at last be a people that will be a ‘light to the nations’. They will prepare themselves and the world for the Return of Jesus. Ezekiel 35:11-30, Ezekiel 36:8-12, Deuteronomy 30:1-10, Zechariah 10:6-12, Isaiah 46:27-28, Ezekiel 39:25-29, Zephaniah 10:6-12
That Jesus is not yet present at this time, is clear from the many verses saying: ‘You will know that I am the Lord, when... And how it ‘will be as in the days of Egypt’.
Eze. 14:6-11, Eze 39:22, Joel 2:27, Isa 41:20. Reference: REB, NIV. Some verses abridged

I suggest things will get back to seeming normality at some stage. People will declares "peace and safety". Them we be the Christian warning to flee, because after a short respite I believe the final seige against Gods people will then come with steroids. Global currency restrictions against all who refuse to worship at the feet of the sun god Baal. Mystery, Babylon will take full control. Demons will openly walk the streets. Read the historical accounts of the Jews during that second seige of Titus. The fallen churches and all those who refuse to prepare now will not recognise the signs of the time of the end and they shall suffer terribly, betraying one another to the authorities just to survive. Satan will at that time have full unbridled control. The harvest will them be ripe both for judgement and deliverance.
The church is Israel. Compare your verse above with what Jesus warned when He said we shall be hated of all Nations for My name's sake.Micah 4:11-12 Now; many nations are massed against Israel.....They do not know the Lord's purpose, for He has gathered them for the threshing.
Yes; the soon to happen Lord's day of fiery wrath, will badly affect ALL of the Israelite peoples. The House of Judah, now in a small part of the holy land and the House of Israel, still scattered among the nations. The Christian peoples.The church is Israel. Compare your verse above with what Jesus warned when He said we shall be hated of all Nations for My name's sake.

I truly don't know when Christ will come again, or even what precise signs will precede that return
(Revelation 6:12-14) "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; {13} And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. {14} And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places."
Make that 0.02% or even 0.01%.The death rate of COVID-19, even given its virility, wouldn't, you'd think, be as alarming with it's estimated 2%, than MERS with it's death rate of 34%.
Lol! Granted! But, the way I see it, the signs that speak of massive, cosmic, world ending type events...they happen in the moments preceding Christ's return. And yeah, we'll know to look up. But I'm talking about down the road. Some people reckon they can plot out every event that needs to happen for years out. I don't think the scripture gives us that clear a picture of the lead up.Well here is one sign for you.
When you see these things occur, you'll know God is about to lay the smack down.

You are correct in that Western governments have suddenly become totalitarian on the basis of another strain of flu! So China's Communist bosses must be rolling on the floor laughing. They can now turn around and tell the West "You are no different than China, and we've got things under control, while you have not".
Most Westerners do not even realize that the mainstream media are rooting for China, and are actually the surrogates of the CCP and the Democrat party. They keep on bashing Trump while praising China. Perhaps they've been bought and paid for.

I'm just sorry to see that President Donald Trump failed -- right from the start -- to see this as another impeachment effort by the virulent Democrats and the Left-Liberal media.It's rather bizarre, isn't it? How quickly we flipped to 'the dark side'?
The next time the governments of this world say. " lock yourself up", the terrified people will do it without question,
this has
1. Allowed some governments to "legally" use peoples mobiles to track them - using 19 as there excuse,
2. Caused you to loose your freedom and the right to choose. - you will or else.
3. Like China, has caused people to spy on one another and dob people in
4. Caused many companies to only use card, no cash, cashless society in one fowl swoop, soon you will have no control of your finances - bank shut up, you have nothing - you wanted convenience the banks won you lost.
and for the climate change fools, this is what you wanted, a worlds without jobs, you should be happy.
Your freedom is gone forever now, mankind chose the darkness, we are reaping what we have sown, smart they say we are, just look at the news.
