The Significance of the Coronavirus Crisis

by Jack Vorster  
3/23/2020 / Christian Living

The world-wide shutdown of human activity as a result of Covid-19 has virtually turned the globe into one big ghost town. Fear has become the common factor running through all of society, but with it has come an enforced unity among nations and peoples with differences set aside to tackle the threat as one.

So bad is the situation that CNN reported today (22^nd March) that 40% - 80% of the New York State population is expected to contract the virus, which is horrendous, to say the least. It is unimaginable that half the population of the city of New York could, possibly, be wiped out.

Could there be any biblical significance to the world-wide standstill and the potential decimation of human life that this horrific pandemic could bring about - or should we totally discard the idea?

History reveals that from about 500 BC to 1 000 AD, the Assyrian, Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Grecian, Roman and Holy Roman empires slaughtered just about half of the then world human population during their respective periods of reign. It is no wonder that the world population in 1 AD stood at only 170 million and in 1 000 AD at only 250 million.

And recent history shows that America, alone, killed over 60 million of their own people over the last 40 years or so through legalised abortion. Add to this the abortion figures for the rest of the world and the total number becomes staggering.

During World War 11 millions lost their lives and six million Jews were deliberately murdered. Millions more were killed in the Vietnam, Korean and recent (ongoing) Middle East wars.

All of the abovementioned acts of man-upon-man killing of the human race were self-imposed deeds of violence and the world did not even blink, let alone shrink in fear as with the current crisis.

I am of the opinion that the viral plague now raging through the world populace is a supernaturally-inflicted judgment to both bring to a halt the violent decimation of the human race and to test mankind’s response – whether or not God will be called upon to intervene – but not once have I heard any reference made to or even acknowledgement given to the existence of God by all the national leaders, spokespersons, medical bodies or the United Nations in their public announcements on the matter. No, it is a matter of, “Together we, the world, will fight against this plague and find a solution.”

I am further of the opinion that the disastrous effect of this pandemic upon the human race might just be the perfect storm the advocates of a One World Government were waiting for. The United Nations organisation and the secret societies covertly operating in and controlling world affairs must surely be gleefully wringing their hands in anticipation as a result of this window of opportunity presented to them on a plate.

On the other side of the coin, the preaching and teaching icons in the Christian world have been prophesying that the year 2020 would be a year of unprecedented revival accompanied by miraculous signs, wonders and angelic visitations. If this is the case, then the dead calm the world is in right now is a prelude to a mighty storm, that of God’s undivided final focus of attention on a God-opposing, rebellious human race – and that in no uncertain terms.

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Mt 10:28)
