This world is changing fast.
One, on Mar. 10, it was reported that the Jewish Sanhedrin has asked that people all over the world pray for God to remove the Coronavirus.
They asked that people read Psa. 20 after they pray, ask God to heal all nations, help them repent of their sins and serve Him wholeheartedly.
Two, on Mar. 13, 2020, Pres. Trump declared Mar. 15, 2020 to be a National Day of Prayer.
He reminded us that the U.S. has a history of looking to God for protection and strength in times like these and assured us that if we will pray, the U.S. will easily prevail.
Three, there are reports that the Coronavirus could be a globalist plot to defeat Pres. Trump in the coming election and open the door for the return of Mrs. Clinton.
The idea seems to be that the destruction of the U.S. economy would be worth it, if it opened the door for a one-world government.
This is discussed by Alex Jones and Mike Adams (some call them conspiracy theorists) in a video (one hour and four minutes long) at the link below:
Four, on Mar. 12, 2020, a special message was sent out from Dr. Jurgen Buhler, Pres. of the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem (ICEJ).
It is very interesting, and it can be accessed at the following link:
https://int.icej.org/news/special-reports/coronavirus-%E2%80%93-perspective-jerusalem
It begins with three points about the Coronavirus.
Dr. Buhler’s first point is the Coronavirus is “A Call for Purity.”
Handwashing is as old as Israel (Ex. 30:17-21), and the New Testament tells us to cleanse our hands and purify our hearts (James 4:8; Matt. 15:16-20).
Every reminder to wash our hands with soap and water should be a reminder to repent of our sins and get our hearts right with God through Jesus.
God may even be using handwashing as a heavenly shofar call to urge repentance before the Rapture of the Church or before the Tribulation Period begins.
Dr. Buhler’s second point is the Coronavirus is “A Time of Global Shaking” (see Hag. 2:6-7, 21-23; Heb. 12:27-29).
He mentions how the world is being shaken (with fear, grounded airlines, economic problems, released prisoners) and what cannot be shaken.
Fear is foreshadowing the time when men’s hearts will fail them for fear of what is coming (Luke 21:26).
Grounded airlines are a reminder that open borders can be dangerous, and closed borders can protect people (possibly a wakeup call before borders are erased and the Antichrist is given power over a world government).
Economic problems are a reminder that the one-world economic system will be destroyed during the Tribulation Period (Rev. 14:8; 18:1-24).
Released prisoners refer to the fact that Iran released about 70,000 prisoners to protect them from the Coronavirus in Iran’s prisons.
Many are persecuted Christians, and God has used the Coronavirus to set them free.
The thing that cannot be shaken is our part in God’s kingdom (Heb. 12:28-29),
Dr. Buhler’s third point is the Coronavirus is “A Foreshadow” of things to come.
Understand that we are still in the age of grace and people can be saved, but the Tribulation Period is coming upon those that won’t repent.
In his incredible article, Dr. Buhler offered six tips: 1) Wash your hands and your heart, 2) Remember that Jesus said fear not, I am with you, 3) Be encouraged because your redemption is drawing near (Luke 21:28), 4) Pray that you will be accounted worthy to escape all of the things that are coming upon the earth (Luke 21:36), 5) Know that God gave Bible prophecy to enlighten us (II Pet. 1:19), and 6) Support Israel.
Five, on Mar. 11, 2020, the U.S. State Dept. released its annual global human rights report (past reports have always called the Arabs in East Jerusalem “Palestinian Residents”).
This latest report calls them “Arab Residents” or “Non-Israelis,” a recognition of the historical fact that they are Arabs and that, prior to 1967, there was no such thing as a Palestinian.
Six, On Mar. 10, 2020, the Barna Group said a recent survey found a dramatic change in American Christianity.
In the year 2000, 45% of American Christians were actively practicing their faith.
In the year 2020, the number is 25%.
Put another way, the number of American Christians that are actively practicing their faith is almost half of what it was 20 years ago (lukewarm, falling away, ??).
Seven, on Mar. 7, 2020, it was reported that a UN Official, Ahmad Shaheed, has suggested that UN designated human rights must take precedent over the religious beliefs of people.
He thinks the laws of many nations were influenced by the religious beliefs of their citizens and those laws must be changed, if they conflict with the human rights that have been adopted by the UN.
In my words, he was saying that nations are obligated to guarantee the human rights that are agreed to by the UN.
Laws that criminalize abortion and homosexual behavior must be overruled because they stem from religious beliefs that must be subordinated to the UN.
The appointment of clergy must also be subordinated to the UN.
Eight, Paul said, “When they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh” (I Thess. 5:3).
The suddenness of what is happening is unreal, but nothing compared to what Paul was writing about.
