The WSJ had an article about coronavirus being America's Great Awakening, paving the way for the gospel. It also underscores the need for three things:
1. The virus is too big a problem for one country to solve, it requires a new world order.
2. The virus shows the benefit of a digital currency that the entire world can use without spreading germs and without worry about how a localized issue could disrupt global markets.
3. We need a unified response from the entire world, having each state or each country have their own response won't work.
Hi ZNP,
While I appreciate the WSJ for it's news reporting, I don't really hold it as particularly knowledgeable as regards the things of God. The first claim just isn't true. The world has experienced many similar outbreaks on a similar scale. The great outbreak of influenza in the early 1900's affected millions of people the world over.
I'm not really convinced that the virus is some impetus for digital currency. Personally, I believe the growth of internet sales probably did more to push digital currency.
As far as it being the harbinger of a one world government or new world order, that claim has become so old and worn that you'll find people that will tell us that everything that has happened in the last 50 years is going to bring such a thing on. I'm really not convinced that the Scriptures even teach that there will be some one world government order, but if so, it's more likely to come from the work of the United Nations than anything else. That's another idea that seems to have gained a foothold from the 'Left Behind' series, also. The Scriptures actually tell us that in the last days, all the nations will rise up against the return of Jesus to fight him in battle. That doesn't have to be with some one world order any more than all the nations that rose up against Hitler was just an alliance and agreement to fight the Nazi regime.
God bless,
In Christ, ted
