Some thoughts on the Coronavirus Crisis:

• Jesus said there will be “distress of nations” (Luke 21:25; The nations are in distress now).
• Jesus said “Men’s hearts will fail them for fear of the things that are coming upon the earth” (Luke 21:26; Unprecedented fear exists now).
• Jesus said, “When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28; Christians are seeing the beginning of the signs now).

The prophesied Sequence of Events:

• The Rapture must take place before the Tribulation Period (II Thess. 2:5-8).
• The Bible doesn’t say, but I believe the destruction of Damascus and the Battle of Gog and Magog will take place before the Tribulation Period.
• There may be a short period of time (a gap of time) between the Rapture and the Tribulation Period (The Bible doesn’t say how long that gap will be).
• The Ten Kings or Ten Horns (Ten leaders) must rise before the Antichrist and Tribulation Period (Dan. 7:7-8, 24).
• There must be a covenant with many in the Middle East before the Tribulation Period (Dan. 9:27).
• The Antichrist will confirm the covenant, and that will be the first day of the Tribulation Period.

This is the point:

• The Rapture can happen without signs or warnings anytime God chooses, but the Tribulation Period can’t happen if some things are not in place.
• It is possible (emphasis on possible) that the world could come out of the Coronavirus crisis for a short time.
• The Rapture will take place and the Antichrist will appear, grow stronger and be given power over a world government (Rev. 6:1-2; 13:5-8).
• The global economy will collapse and there will be a new global economic system (rider on the black horse; Rev. 6:5-6).
• The False Prophet will appear and head up a global ethic (satanic world religion; persecution of believers; Rev. 13:7-8).
• There will be unprecedented natural disasters (false Christs, war, famine, pestilence, earthquakes, etc.; Matt. 24:6-7; Rev. 6:1-8).
• The Antichrist and False Prophet will establish a cashless society and a global surveillance system called the Mark of the Beast (Middle of the Tribulation Period; Rev. 13:16-18).
• The Second Coming will be seven years after the Antichrist confirms the covenant.

Some of the prophetic implications of the Coronavirus crisis:

• God is in control and His Word will be fulfilled.
• Nothing happens that God doesn’t allow.
• The Battle of Gog and Magog appears to be shaping up (Ezek. 38-39).
• The Coronavirus crisis has changed the world (Some think it could be an intentional act to bring in the New World Order and that will be on fast forward from this time on).
• This crisis appears to be a major step toward the Tribulation Period with several implications (economic collapse, famine, Pestilence, Mark, etc.).
• It appears to be a major pestilence or birth pain (not a local pandemic that is limited to one nation, but global in scope; a forerunner of Rev. 6:7-8).
• It creates a need for someone that can solve the world’s problems (the man with a plan, the Antichrist; Did you hear about the April 1, 2020, headline in Dutch Newspaper “Searching for Leader?”).
• It is a major step toward a global economic collapse (Africa is already in danger; Nations are printing trillions of dollars to try to avoid it; a forerunner of Rev. 6:5-6).
• It provides a reason to establish a cashless society (We are told that the virus is on money; that we need to go digital; a forerunner of Rev. 13:16-18).
• It provides a reason to mark people (Bill Gates wants to put a quantum dot tattoo on vaccinated people with information that can be changed, updated, and read by scanners or infrared light; a forerunner of Rev. 13:16-18).
• It provides a reason to track and persecute people (those that take the tattoo will be allowed to leave their house, work, buy, sell, etc., but those that refuse the tattoo won’t be allowed to leave their house, work, buy, sell, etc. Note: $500 million to establish a tracking system was included in Trump’s $2.2 trillion stimulus package. Note: Pastors are already being threatened for holding services).
• It is uniting the world to fight a common enemy (this co-operation could lead to the rise of the Ten Kings; Dan. 7:24, Rev. 17:12-14).
• It confines Christians to their homes to shut down opposition to world government, world religion, the Mark of the Beast, surveillance, etc.
• It is causing great fear.
• It could mean that God will act soon (the Rapture).

Perhaps, world leaders would do well to recall another prophecy about the Tribulation Period: God said, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” (Zech. 12:2-3).

God established borders at the Tower of Babel (Deut. 32:8-10).

God made a covenant to give the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants forever (Gen. 13:14-15; 17:7-8).

God intends to put His name on Jerusalem forever (II Kings 21:7).

Jesus intends to dwell in Jerusalem and for His Word to go forth out of Jerusalem during the Millennium (Psa. 132:13; Isa. 2:3).

Jesus is coming back as King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev. 19:16).

Notice the accuracy of what Jesus said above (distress of nations, fear, pestilence).

The idea that world leaders can ignore what God said, give part of the Promised Land to someone other than the Jews, establish a world government, and give power to the king of fierce countenance (the Antichrist) to rule over it without consequences instead of King Jesus is ridiculous, ludicrous, irrational nonsense.

World leaders are creating a confrontation with God, and He will never allow them to establish a world government to rule over the Promised Land and Israel (and get away with it) because He promised that the King of kings and Lord of lords (Jesus) will establish His kingdom on earth (world government) and rule over Israel.

God will remove His Church and cut the nations into pieces for cutting His Land into pieces.

As an act of grace, He may be warning world leaders not to divide the land of Israel and not to establish a world government.

As bad as the Coronavirus is, it is fun and games compared to what is prophesied for the seven-year Tribulation Period.

This is more than my opinion.

This is Bible talk (the Word of the one and only all-powerful God that does not lie).

One more thing: Everyone needs to A) Admit that you sin, B) Believe everything the Bible says about Jesus, that He was born of a virgin, He didn’t sin, He suffered and died in our place, He was buried, He was raised from the dead, and C) Confess your sins and ask Jesus to save you.

That is the only way to be saved (the only thing that God will accept to let a person in heaven; Jn. 14:6).

Some of my thoughts on the Coronavirus Crisis:

• If this is a birth pain (and I believe it is), then it is the hardest birth pain (one-third of the world is in lockdown) the world has experienced, and there are more birth pains to come (Matt. 24:3-8; Rev. 6:5-8).
• Jesus said, “in this world you will have tribulation” (Jn. 16:33), and we are having it, but this is not the Tribulation Period (it is a mild glimpse of what the world will be like after the Rapture).
• This came upon the world with startling speed, but the Rapture and the “sudden destruction” of the Tribulation Period will come upon the world even faster (Luke 21:35; I Cor. 15:52; I Thess. 5:3).

Some possible reasons why God is allowing the Coronavirus Crisis:

• He wants revival in the Church before the Rapture (II Chron. 7:13-14).
• He wants a harvest of the lost before the Rapture (Matt. 9:37-38).
• He is reminding the world that Jesus said false Christs, wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes will precede His coming, and they will be the “beginnings of sorrows” ( 24:5-8; the beginning of greater disasters).
• He is showing the world that borders are a good thing, and erasing borders to create a one-world government is a bad thing (Rev. 13:4-8).
• He is showing the world that globalization is a bad thing when essential products are not produced at home (Rev. 13:14-18).
• He is reminding the world that the age of grace is almost over and the end of the age is close (Matt. 24:33).

Some speculation on why New York now has more cases than any other nation:

• God may be attacking the economic center of the world (New York; Wall Street), and the home of the wannabe world government (the UN) as a warning that He set Israel’s borders and world leaders should leave them alone.

Some suggestions:

• Do all you can to protect your family and yourself from the Coronavirus, and leave the rest up to God (I Tim. 5:8).
• Pray that you will be accounted worthy to escape all of the things that are coming to pass (Psa. 20; Psa. 91; Luke 21:36).
• Support Israel. God will bless those that do (Gen. 12:1-3).
• Understand that physical survival is important, but spiritual survival is more important (Rom. 3:23; Jn. 3:16, 14:6; Matt. 10:32-33; Eph. 2:8-9).
• Oppose mandatory vaccinations that contain chips. Know that there is a proposal to track those that are vaccinated for the Coronavirus (when a vaccine is developed) that will permit people to leave their homes to work, buy, sell, etc., and forbid (fine, jail) those that refuse to be vaccinated permission to leave their homes to work, buy, sell, etc. Know that the recent stimulus package contained $500 million for public health data surveillance and analytics infrastructure modernization. New Yorkers should be aware that their state cancelled religious exemptions for mandatory vaccinations on June 13, 2019. See Rev. 13:14-18.

Prophecy Related Events:

One, concerning persecution: on Mar. 27, 2020, an article in the New York Times blamed the Coronavirus on Evangelical Christians and other religious Americans that supported Pres. Trump.

Two, concerning a global economic collapse: on Mar. 23, 2020, one-third of the world was on lockdown (Rev. 8:1-13, 9:15).

On Mar. 27, 2020, Pres. Trump signed into law a $2.2 trillion economic stimulus package, and it allows the government to get another $4.5 trillion.

On Mar. 27, 2020, several states in the U.S. were under, or considering, “stay at home” orders.

If this lasts for weeks or months, the global economy could collapse (that will happen in the Tribulation Period; Rev. 6:5-6).

Three, concerning wars and rumors of wars: fighting in the Middle East and Africa has destroyed factories, hospitals, clinics and equipment; killed medical staff; and left millions without supplies and trained people to deal with the Coronavirus.

On Mar. 26, 2020, an Iranian proxy fired rockets at a U.S. base in Iraq.

At the time of this writing, there are reports that the U.S. and Israel could be planning an attack on Iran inside Iran’s borders (implications for Gog and Magog).

Four, concerning the cashless society: in early March, the World Health Organization said cash could be spreading the coronavirus; So. Korea stopped the use of cash for 2 weeks;  the Federal Reserve started looking at ways to replace the dollar; and several major banks in England and Europe started studying the possibility of using some form of digital money.

Five, concerning tracking all buying and selling: the push to track the movement of people, keep data bases on people, and share that data has been speeded up all over the world.

Six, concerning wickedness on earth: on Mar. 23, 2020, U.S. Sec. of State Mike Pompeo said Iranian officials have used more than one billion dollars of EU aid that was given to help victims of the Coronavirus crisis to enrich themselves.

They bought masks, gloves and medical supplies, sold them on the black market and kept the profits.

Seven, concerning famine: on Mar. 24, 2020, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization said the locust plague in the Horn of Africa represents an unprecedented threat to the food supply of millions of people.

Eight, Israel has a new “emergency” unity government.

Following the collapse of Prime Min. Netanyahu’s government, Israel held three elections and the government was still stalemated.

On Mar. 26, 2020, it was reported that Prime Min. Netanyahu and his closest challenger, Benny Gantz, met with Israel’s Pres. Rivlin and they agreed to create a unity government.

Netanyahu will serve as Prime Min. for 18 more months, and Gantz will serve as Foreign Min. during that time.

Then, Gantz will become Prime Min.

Some believe this “emergency” unity government came into being because Iran is becoming more aggressive.

Nine, on Mar. 29, 2020, a great Bible prophecy teacher, J.D. Farag, said, “I truly believe that this (Coronavirus Crisis) may, in fact, be that which ultimately leads to the Rapture of the Church, the Antichrist’s revelation, and the seven-year Tribulation, in that order. I submit that what’s happening now may, in fact, be creating the perfect storm for one-world government, a one-world economy, and a one-world religion.”

Finally, on Mar. 23, 2020, Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of Billy Graham, said God may be using the coronavirus “to get our attention.”

She said, “It’s time to pray . . . and turn to God in faith and trust.”
