This is a good article and one that Americans should take seriously. I can't help but to think that the "powers that be" are testing the waters--seeing just how ripe Americans are for giving up constitutional rights. It's ironic that violent groups like Antifa have practically had free reign, while law abiding citizens are being ORDERED to stay home. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for SICK people not spreading germs, but these orders apply to well people. (Yes, I've read how contagious this virus supposedly is.)
I've NEVER seen anything like these statewide lockdowns, esp. considering the fact that the virus prompting these lockdowns isn't all that bad. Sadly, there is an eery silence concerning constitutional rights. Are Americans prepared to trade our freedoms for a false sense of security? It certainly seems like it.
It is a very interesting time for Christians; here in the U.S. and everywhere in the world. Because the whole world is affected, I believe another power is behind this moment. No one group of men, no one government anywhere can administer a world wide stoppage as is going on now. But behind the governments are spiritual powers. Some good, some bad. Some of God, some of satan. And satan is moving and has been moving towards this type of control.
It doesn't matter to satan if governments recognize his control of these things. All he cares about is getting his man in that place of power and control over the world. This is that 'mystery of iniquity' Paul spoke of in (2 Thess. 2:7). The Holy Spirit is hindering this work but not stopping it, thus it will eventually occur. (2 Thess. 2:7)
The problem here is going to be much greater than 'constitutional right'. It is going to be survival. Our Constitution is important and we can live by it. But when the Government shuts down the country, or state, you have been placed in a position where you cannot do anything. You cannot work, if your work has been taken away. Companies go bankrupt...jobs are gone. Because the govt. has shut us down then the govt must provide for the citizens. And here is the fine line of anarchy and government. Man can be governed when he is willing to be governed.
It's bad when you can't get the things you used to get. But wait till hunger becomes a factor. What does it matter if I die of Corona or starve to death? Govt. knows this. Man will revolt and you will have anarchy on your hands. Hence the importance of an economic system to have in place that will provide. Which of course we will seen in a future time with the anti-christ. (Rev. 13:17)
So, I think this Corona virus and governments response to it is paving the way; being used by satan; to prepare for that future government of satan on earth. Man alone is just responding to it. satan is the one working towards getting his 'mystery of iniquity' in power.
This Corona certainly shut down the Hong Kong problem of riots. Make you wonder if that was a goal of the Chinese. But that is immaterial. What is important is the satanic goal behind it. The 'mystery of iniquity'.
