Lockdown 2020 :: By Jim Towers

Who would have ever thought such a thing could happen – worldwide? I’m talking, of course, about the covid19 virus and the quarantine that accompanied it. What else in all the world would cause people to look up and question whether this event was God-ordained?

If the virus is an act of God, then, in one fell swoop, He was able to get the attention of every single person in the whole world, but to what avail? First of all, to acknowledge Him, humble ourselves, repent and prepare for the rapture…That’s all.

While many of us are in our third week of isolation, we can’t help but wonder if and when the nightmare will be over, but the next catastrophe, as a follow up, is the voracious plague of locusts unleashed over ten countries so far, and many will likely die of starvation. At the same time, vicious storms have been unleased throughout the world, there are many earthquakes in various places, and UFO sightings are becoming more and more frequent. World economies are on the brink.

With our collective hands tied, it is hard not to believe something is afoot…something so profound that even those of us who know scripture find it hard to deal with. The fact is that these things were prophesied by Jesus Himself.

From a humanistic point of view, conspiracy theories abound. Is Bill Gates promoting a vaccine to further his eugenics agenda? Will his vaccine lead to the Mark of the Beast? After all, you will get a free pin number along with it, but what for? Is it to keep track of you? To what end? Is the pope the false prophet? He sure has been saying some crazy things lately, especially for a pontiff. Not only that, but he wants to help form a one-world religion with enemies who would just as well kill us as look at us infidels.

And pray tell, what is this current fascination with communism? I mean, who wants to do without food, housing, automobiles, free speech and medicine like Venezuela, Cuba and other communist-run countries? It’s crazy out there.

Now, with all the time in the world to read everything in the newspapers, magazines and the internet and to watch television 24-7, we are on information overload with juicy tidbits such as this….

Recently, a Florida political figure was caught passed out from drug use lying naked on the floor of a known sexual pervert. People won’t know who to believe in or why to believe them. (And he sounded like and looked like such a nice family guy too.) People have animalistic tendencies as in dog eat dog, and like a dog, go back to their own vomit. They lie so often, it is now thought of as normal. Right is wrong, and wrong is right; the whole world is out of whack. It’s as if Satan and his minions have been set free to roam the streets to wreak havoc everywhere.

Something else I found interesting is that Passover and Easter coincided with one another this year. Just as when the death angel passed over Egypt and many died (but those with the blood of the lamb on their doorposts lived). So it is with us today; with the blood of the spotless lamb of God on the doorposts of our lives, we are spared the second death – (if the virus death angel visits) – even if we die from it.

From all the signs, the last days “times of sorrow” MUST be upon us, even as we speak. All the signs are in your face and continuing to expand and proliferate without letup – one after the other. Nobody – and I mean nobody – but God could have planned such a well-orchestrated scenario to get people’s attention worldwide.

Movie:

Being quarantined has given me the opportunity to work on a screenplay based on the very events we’re witnessing today. You could say this film is based on ongoing events and possible outcomes. The worldwide events we are witnessing right now are being incorporated into the storyline with the hope that many will respond and be saved by turning wholeheartedly to God. While we Christians wait for our deliverance, we can’t just sit idly by while our friends, neighbors and relatives die in their sins.

A few years ago, after seeing the way things were going in our society, I wrote a screenplay about the end times. It was a thought-provoking story about the possible fulfilment of biblical prophecy I envisioned was coming, but it was based on speculation. I made a couple of attempts at filming a trailer with limited resources but couldn’t get people interested in helping without pay. I lost money in doing so.

The current worldwide situation lends itself to an even greater scenario – a life threatening one. Not only that, but with people dying without Christ, it makes the timing more crucial. All the ingredients of a spiritually informative film are being played out on the world stage before our very eyes – as it were.

This will be my last attempt at such a venture, and I will give it my best shot, but unless I can find dedicated, selfless people and the resources needed – then the hope of making this film is futile.

If you or anyone you know is a film investor or you know someone who is a dedicated Christian actor, film-maker or videographer or crew member – please have them get in touch with me at jt.filmmaker@yahoo.com.

The Most Deadly Virus Ever :: By Grant Phillips

A virus much worse than COVID-19 Coronavirus has been eating away at our souls since the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were created by God and placed in a perfect environment. Then one day Satan came to visit, and they chose to listen to him and not their Creator … God. They rebelled against God, thinking they could be like Him, and sin took over.

COVID-19 Coronavirus is a killer. It is very lethal to some, destroying their bodies and taking their lives. Fortunately, many are not affected by the virus. They either do not get the virus, or they survive its attack. However, compared to the sin virus, the COVID-19 Coronavirus is weak as a kitten.

Apart from the works of Jesus and His offer of salvation, the sin virus takes no prisoners. First of all, everyone is infected. Every single human being since our original parents, Adam and Eve, is infected with the sin virus. Everyone is spiritually dead. Everyone will suffer for eternity in hell then the lake of fire without a remedy.

The sin virus has brought to mankind wars, murder, rape, theft, lying, perversion, greed, pride and these are just a few examples out of pages and pages that could be mentioned.

Because of the COVID-19 Coronavirus, all sports events have been terminated. Most businesses have been shut down. Our borders have been closed. We have shut down our entire country because of a virus that is able to kill our body.

However, reputable doctors and scientists say we have a drug in our arsenal that we can use with confidence against COVID-19 Coronavirus. It has been around for 65 years and has been used for malaria patients successfully. It is also used for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis patients. It is totally safe. (However, since President Trump has mentioned it, the hounds from hell speak unfavorably of it. No surprise.) It is called Hydroxychloroquine. Our doctors and scientists are also working on other solutions. There is definitely hope for the near future in fighting this virus.

The COVID-19 Coronavirus, world-wide, is taking the lives of about 6% of those it infects. Now think about this. The sin virus infects 100% of everyone born upon the earth and takes the lives (both spiritually and physically) of everyone … 100%. Important: the COVID-19 Coronavirus can only take our physical life, but the sin virus destroys both body and our soul.

As I mentioned, there is hope for a remedy to fight the COVID-19 Coronavirus, but for the sin virus there is more than just hope. There is an absolute guaranteed remedy to permanently, once-and-for-all remove our sin virus. That guarantee is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus paid for our infection of the sin virus upon the cross and conquered its power by His resurrection from the grave. All He requires of us is to place our trust in Him. If we will just turn our lives over to Him, He will save us.

“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Corinthians 15:55)

If you were to get the Coronavirus, and you’re lying in bed dying, would you take the medicine prescribed to you, especially if the doctor says, “This will cure you?” I would, and of course you would too.

Well, without Jesus in our life, we are just one heartbeat away from eternal death. That means not only does our body die, but we are assigned to the lake of fire for all eternity. The Great Physician has the cure. It is Jesus. Will you accept God’s remedy of His Son Jesus? I have, and He wants you to also.

Some may say, “I don’t believe in God.”

“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” (Psalm 14:1)

Some may say, “I’m a good person. God will let me in Heaven.”

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

Some may say, “Does God really guarantee it?”

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” (John 3:16-18)

When it comes to our bodies, isn’t it true that we will try anything humanly possible that might help us get well and keep us alive? Of course it is true. That is how it should be. No one is to be criticized for that.

These earthly bodies only last a short while, but our soul lives forever, either in Heaven or hell. Doesn’t it make sense that we should be even more concerned about our soul? By putting our faith in Jesus Christ we are guaranteed to spend eternity with Him. Jesus permanently removes the sin virus from all those who come to Him to be saved (healed).
