How many think this is going to turn out to be martial law? and the mark of the beast next?
I'm trying not to get nervous...when I do I pray and reread psalm 91 over and over. I can't believe I am seeing this with my own eyes.
Hopefully I'm wrong. My grandchildren are only 5 and 3. I cant bear to watch them go through something bad. IF we are to get raptured..I hope they go.
I've prayed over and over to protect them from the virus. God is still in ultimate control.
Hi littlek,
Calm down. You must have been really scared when the HIV virus first reared it's ugly head and people started dropping like flies. I'm not sure I understand the fear mongering. Mankind has suffered serious plague outbreaks at least a couple of dozen times. In 1918 it is believed that between 50-100 million people died due to the influenza virus. There was a time that smallpox was also a devastating viral infection. HIV and ebola are both viral infections and have killed far more than the covid-19 virus, although it may catch up if it sticks around as long as they have. Europe suffered a number of plagues and even the new world suffered from plagues. It is believed that viral infections brought to the Caribbean by Spanish explorers wiped out 90% of the indigenous population.
Ebola was a real killer. Out of some 28,000 reported cases, over 11,000 people died. That's a 40% death rate. HIV is said to have killed some 700,000 people globally since it reared its ugly head. While covid-19 is nothing to take lightly, it is not the most deadly virus that man has had to deal with.
So, calm down. At most, this is some of the work of the fourth horseman of the apocalypse. You're in a bad situation if you really can't stand to see your grandchildren go through something bad. Friend, every generation has some bad stuff mixed in with it. Just imagine if you were living in 1918. You'd have likely killed your own grandchildren if you really couldn't stand them to experience anything bad.
God bless you and may you put your trust in Him. He is all that you need. We're all going to die. How we die isn't really the concern. Whether we are prepared to die is the important question. Your grandchildren are a little young, but have you prepared others in your family for their death? If not, it's time to introduce them to Jesus. That way no matter how or when any of your family dies, you can rest that they will be in a much better eternity.
In Christ, ted
