It has an eerie resemblance to martial law with the increased micromanagement by the government every single day.

It's like the have us trained... no "conspiracy" needed.

They even have memes and celebrity quarantine videos to keep us entertained!

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
Thank you...reading God's word and praying is helping me alot. I just get these little short anxiety attacks, but they are alot better. Anxiety runs in my family..my sister was not able to go anywhere by herself..and yes I know fear is a lie...and in Christ we should not have fear.
As far as my grandchildren...I guess I'm in a bad spot if I don't want to see them suffer as little children..I have feelings..I am human lol. They both have asthma and the little one is small for his age and eats like a bird..so yes, I'm concerned for his well being. God has protected me, and my children all of our lives thus far, I trust him with my grandchildren of course. :)
And yes, my family knows Jesus. :)

The last serious outbreak of smallpox was in the 1960s --- it killed 15 million and has been long forgotten. But it prompted a massive campaign of vaccination by the WHO, also long forgotten. About 10 years later smallpox was completely eradicated, also long forgotten.

Wow, I did not know it killed so many people.

Yes...and that video of them singing John Lennon's song is just awful. We non-celebrity people should make our own viral video with a praise song to God.

Actually it does quite a bit.

The late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau said it well:

"Canada sharing a continent with the USA is a little like a mouse going to bed with an elephant. No matter how well intentioned the elephant, every twitch and fart profoundly affects the mouse."

All that can be said then is deal with it, we elected him for the betterment of our Country not yours, but you will be reaping the benefits of a new traid deal because of him....oh well.

You mean like Roosevelt not even telling Truman we had the Bomb?
Or Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin not saying anything about Enigma, how many soldiers died just so the Germans would not find out we had the secret?
Glad you already have examples. Lots of Presidents have hidden things, sometimes for good reasons.

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.
I do not know if this is Babylon falling or not, the money system, it certainly is a wake up call that we should be more self sufficient and doing what Christ said. Irregardless, we are instructed to, fear not and realize the living God will sustain all who turn to Him. This is a great revival for the world! Jesus prayed for all who believe his words, to be One, as He and the Father, all of Us One! Glory to God, stay safe, loving one another and know the Living God is in Us and we are in God!

If you refer to the new NAFTA there is almost no change from the old NAFTA.

It is one giant step for government and pharmacy toward martial law and the mark.

If it is the final day, week/ year, Yahweh knows, and the Good Shepherd Jesus is not slack concerning us His sheep.

As Christians we should rejoice in the final days not tremble in fear. Our goal is to finally go home, not to stay here in this miserable world where we are constantly bombarded with temptation of these fleshly bodies. Sure I’d like my children to grow up and have children of their own but if The Father says now is the time then so be it, I’m ready for His calling for us to finally go home.

It would be interesting, that american christians would be the group that voted in the eventual leader of the one world government (trump)

The Man of Perdition is described as someone much more suave than Trump.

No, I don't think he's revealed, yet. 2 Thessalonians points to the fact that the Holy Spirit would have to no longer be restraining evil for the Man of Sin to be revealed. Some say that when the Holy Spirit no longer restrains, since he lives in us Christians, also is when the rapture happens. I believe that personally, but I don't know if I could preach it as truth. It's one of those studies that I've got on the side for myself :)

Would that mean that Trump is the Anti-Christ?

Martial law is not the worst thing that can happen to a name. Now and again it is enacted and only for a limited time. I cannot think of a nation that had martial law put into place who did not revoke it later.

If you want some peace, I recommend you listen to someone explain Matthew 24 from the view point that Jesus was talking about the end of the Mosaic covenant and most of it was fulfilled around 70 AD when the Jewish system of worship was wiped off the face of the earth and will never return. It brings great peace of mind. Your grandkids will grow up and have grandkids if all goes as it has been going.

Jesus will return when his enemies have been made a footstool for his feet (become supporters) and the world has become a better place. Dropping the whole rapture is coming theology is really freeing and one understands Revelation and Daniel and the plan of God and it is amazing. The world is not getting worse, it is getting better. SOme of the major nations of the world have had two generations without any war in their neighborhood. The US is somewhat an exception as it goes out making war elsewhere.

So be at peace. He is not coming in a rapture to whisk the church away. The wrath of God was already poured out upon those who pierced him. The Christians all fled before that happened as Jesus told them to do and not one of them perished in that disaster, the likes of which the world had never seen before or since. Most of us were not taught this, unfortunately.

Italy reports that the water in Venice is clean again and that dolphins can be seen from the shores, something that none of them ever experienced as the water was too dirty. The environment is being restored in major ways.
How cool is that?
