Pray to the God so that He will Send His Son Again
The Spanish Flu of a century ago lasted about two years from February 1918 to April 1920, almost 26 months. So, even with effect of vaccination, the current corona-pandemic is estimated to continue till the summer of 2021, almost 17 months.
None seems to take this pandemic as a prelude to WWIII or a punishment by the God on the human civilization. However, the timing of occurrence of this pandemic should be focused on.
It is 75 years after WWII, 100 years after cessation of the Spanish Flu at the end of WWI, 360 years after the Great Plague of London in 1665 when Isaac Newton launched the scientific revolution, 900 years after the Black Death spreading along the Silk Road and sweeping through Asia, Europe and Africa when the little ice age started and continued till the middle of the 19th century and the renaissance started in Italy, and 1700 years after the the Plague of Justinian in the 6th century in confusion due to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.
So, from the historical point of view, this pandemic should be seen as symbolizing a change of the trend in the world history. All through the history from the end of the Western Roman Empire, the renaissance, the era of Isaac Newton, the era of Einstein, and the high-tech age with artificial intelligence and gene engineering, pandemics have repeatedly occurred as if to give the mankind a warning of the God.
Maybe, today, the human civilization has reached the state where it would start to destroy itself. Or the human civilization has got rotten and debased too much through contamination by money and material wealth to be overlooked by the God.
It should be noted that 2000 years have passed since the emergence of Christ Jesus. It may be the time for the mankind to be judged by the God. If the mankind continues the current course with advanced technology and unrestricted material desire, it would be destined to go extinct through total corruption of humanity, WWIII between global powers such as the U.S., China, Russia, etc. or any other tragedies or acts of madness.
It is symbolic that the current pandemic started from China, an authoritarian country with 1.4 billion population and big economic power but little respect to the Western value system based on Christianity.
China has achieved its success with help from the U.S., Japan, Germany, etc., but China has no intention to adapt democracy and other humanitarian systems the U.S., Japan, Germany, etc. have built after WWII. Greed for material wealth by the U.S. and other Western countries is driven and led by Satan. However, there are religious and ethic traditions and mechanisms to suppress it in those Western countries. Satan cannot easily lead these countries to total destruction. But China lacks such conditions and is likely to be more easily handled by Satan.
So, this China-origin pandemic must be a warning from the God, so that the world should take heed of material success of non-Christian China rather than that of the Christian U.S. and other Western countries.
Anyway, no Christians and Jewish people must expect that the end of the world will be brought by viruses generated in China in the 21st century.
However, if this pandemic is simply a warning to the mankind, how terrible the real tragedy leading to destruction of the human civilization will be. All we have to do is to pray to the God so that He will send His Son again to the human world.
**** **** ****Matthew 12 King James Version
11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
