"Being forty days tempted of the devil" - A Species Doomed to Go Extinct

A Species Doomed to Go Extinct

It is strange that the mankind does not yet pray to the God, asking rescue from this corona-virus pandemic.

From the beginning, there has been a big possibility that the mankind can be exterminated at any time by various causes in the history, including pandemics, collision with a huge meteor, a sudden drastic change in climates, huge geological disasters, etc.

The present mankind has survived almost 200,000 years.  Especially it is thought that ancestors of peoples living outside Africa today were in a few groups of the mankind in Africa just 50,000 to 80,000 years ago.  So, in rather a short period of time, the mankind has evolved and changed in wide diversity.  But, the earth has its own history of 4.6 billion years.  And, living things have their own history of 4 billion years.  There must be some threats that can exterminate the species of the mankind in the earth, which the mankind has not encountered. Indeed, living things on the earth have ever suffered major extinction in five times since visible living things that could leave their trails in the form of fossils appeared on the earth:

Marine extinction intensity during the Phanerozoic (the horizontal scale: in unit of million years):

The blue graph shows the apparent percentage (not the absolute number) of marine animal genera becoming extinct during any given time interval. It does not represent all marine species, just those that are readily fossilized. The labels of the traditional "Big Five" extinction events and the more recently recognised End-Capitanian extinction event are clickable hyperlinks; see Extinction

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extinction_events

As the above figure shows, the K-Pg extinction, where dinosaurs went extinct, is the newest one among those five major extinction events in the period of 500 million years.  In average, once in 100 million years, one great extinction event occurred.

And as 65 million years have already passed, another great extinction event may happen on the earth at any time.  And, as the recent global warming indicates, it may be related to human activities.

Due to material civilization, some influence may be given to, say, bacteria and viruses.  Chemicals produced by the mankind may change DNA or genes of these bacteria and viruses to generate strong virulence for the mankind.  And the infected mankind may go extinct.

If not by viruses or bacteria, collision with a huge meteor, a sudden drastic change in climates, huge geological disasters, etc. could happen without being stopped by the mankind.  So, existence and development of the mankind is at the hand of the God.

It does not look like this corona-virus pandemic is going to exterminate the mankind.  However, if another pandemic may occur soon after it, the mankind may face a crisis of extermination.  And in the time span of around 40 million years, another major extinction event will surely happen in the earth, wiping out the mankind.

The mankind doomed to go extinct in 40 million years or so should always ask the God to protect it at any time from extinction.  This corona-virus pandemic is a good chance to think of the fate of the mankind as a species in the earth and confirm the need to ask help from the God.

But would the God rescue the mankind most of whom have sold their souls to Satan or are brainwashed by Satan?

"There came then his brethren and his mother" - Pandemics in 2003, 2020, and Possibly 2037

Pandemics in 2003, 2020, and Possibly 2037

The SARS pandemic set off in China in 2003.  The corona-virus pandemic set off in China in 2020.  And another pandemic is estimated to set off in 2037, since the interval between these years is the primary number of 17.

The total number of deaths in the 2003 pandemic was globally less than 1000, while that in the 2020 pandemic may be predicted to be 300,000.  And that in the coming new pandemic, probably, in 2037 may be predicted to be 90 million, which means a real crisis of the current human civilization.

Immediately before the 21st century, that is in late 1990s, some people thought that the end of the world was near.  However, the history is long, and the crucial time must have some length of a period.  Therefore, it is no wonder that the end of the world comes in the length of a period of 20 or 30 years.  Or maybe the end of the world would come not at a certain point of time but spreading over 70 years, since the Jerusalem Temple was destroyed about A.D. 70 while Christ Jesus came to this world around A.D.1, putting an end to the world of the old Judaism before Christ Jesus.

Therefore, the expected next pandemic in 2037 can really put an end to the present human civilization.  In this context, this corona-virus pandemic can be regarded as a drill for the decisive one in 2037.       

The evil of the present human civilization can be seen symbolically in China, getting prosperous by abusing the market economy and advanced technologies while keeping its authoritarian regime.  So the next pandemic might be generated in China, too.  And, it is also symbolic that the European countries having strong ties with China and the U.S. having helped excessively China develop its economy in late 1990s are suffering gravely this corona-virus.

With the assumption of the magnitude, 90 million deaths, of the expected 2037 pandemic in comparison to the present corona virus pandemic, the human civilization should suffer a decisive influence.  Its progress might be stopped or changed in a way beyond our imagination of today so that our civilization might start to decline.  And consequently, the mankind might not thrive in the 22nd century.  Or robots with AI might take over as the ruler of the world, replacing the mankind.

In this context, the mankind having enjoyed civilization based on Christianity since the coming of Christ Jesus 2000 years after Abraham is doomed 2000 years after Christ Jesus.  It may be no wonder, since the mankind crucified and killed the Son of God around A.D. 30.  While the God granted a respite of  2000 years, the mankind has not shown enough faith and respect to the God.  So, it is natural that the God sends Angles of Death to the human world.

In the 22nd century, a robot with AI might write a text book of the human history: "Therefore, the mankind went extinct in the 21st century with mysterious pandemics."

However, it is also no wonder that the God will change His mind if the mankind repent enough to expel those brainwashed by Satan from the mankind in the 21st century.  And some people might write a text book of the human history in the 22nd century: "As we repented enough and fought against Satan, the God stopped destroying the human world on the brink of extermination due to the 1937 pandemic.  Bless the God!"

Mar 3:31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
Mar 3:32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
Mar 3:33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
Mar 3:34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Mar 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

"he that cometh from heaven is above all" - 70 Million People Required to Follow the God

70 Million People Required to Follow the God

Theoretically, it is impossible that the mankind will prosper forever if a major portion of mankind follow Satan or sell their souls to Satan betraying the God.

And today, we rarely see people who follow the God and observe the teaching of the God, since most of people love money more than love, peace, and justice.  People hate one another and fight among themselves ultimately over money.  To defeat others and get more money, most of people follow Satan and are brainwashed by Satan.  How would the God allow such mankind to prosper forever?

So, an pandemic sometimes occurred in the human history.  But each time, the God stopped a tragedy, so that the mankind could go on thriving.  It means that the God found at least 1% ore more of the mankind who faithfully followed the God during each pandemic.  (For example, there is at least one country, the Vatican, that is, however nominally, dedicated to praying to the God among less than 200 countries in the world.)  Otherwise, the God must have allowed a pandemic to terminate the mankind.

Today, there are seven billion people on the earth, and one percent of them means 70 million.  If 70 million people in this world follow the God, fighting against Satan, the God would not let a pandemic defeat the mankind.

But can we be confident that there are 70 million people who love the God, hating Satan and money?

If not, but if still we can survive a pandemic, it means the God is especially tolerant to the mankind.

I think that we should observer the current pandemic caused by the corona viruses from the above point of view.

Most probably, we can survive this case.  This pandemic will be over in several months.  But, sooner or later, another pandemic will surely come.  And there is no assurance that the God will show any tolerance on the next occasion, since it seems to be very difficult that there will be 70 million believers in the God in this human world in the near future.   

Incidentally, to enhance our immunity to conquer malicious viruses, it must be effective to read the Bible, cleans our minds and spirits, and ask help from the God.  If Satan is behind viruses, their harming power would be abated by the holy power of the Bible.  And if the Angel of Death sent by the God is behind viruses, it will surely show compassion to us.

So, this pandemic may be part of the battle between Angels of the God and devils of Satan.
