Theological Meaning in this Corona-Pandemic
It is said that there are 9 x 10^21 stars in the observable universe of the size of about 46.5 billion light years. They were all created after the original state of the universe in the diameter of 10^(-34) cm before the inflation phenomenon and the subsequent Big Bang.
Put simply, there was extraordinarily huge energy in the very tiny size of space, like trillions of trillions of the suns pushed into a gulf ball. And, as the tiny space could not hold the huge energy, the space was rapidly expanded with huge heat discharged, resulting in the Big Bang explosion of the energy, leading to formation of materials and stars that can be observed today.
The point at issue is how such huge explosion of enormous energy could be controlled. How could physical laws and mathematical theories be generated in this universe through such gigantic explosion of energy? It is naturally estimated that there must have occurred great disorder and anarchy among the state of energy. It cannot be expected that this process of generation of the universe would result in well-ordered establishment of galaxies, solar systems, planets, molecules, atoms, and elementary particles as well as various physical phenomena. But, they have been surely realized with the current state of the well-organized universe.
If seemingly violent explosion of gunpowder resulted in a beautiful firework, we should know that engineers designed beforehand the firework with excellent pyrotechnics. So, it is natural to assume and believe that the God had beforehand designed this process of generation of the universe.
And, it is also natural to think that according the design by the God, the earth was created in the universe, living things were created in the earth, and eventually the mankind was created among living things.
Now, the most critical question is how the God had designed the human mind, especially consciousness on good and evil or ethical judgment. Furthermore, we might wonder how the God had designed the fate of the mankind and individuals.
Put simply, the God might have designed the history of the mankind. The end of the human world might have been decided from the beginning of this universe. The moment the vacuum energy appeared from nothing into this world before the inflation phenomenon and the Bug Bang explosion, the fate of the mankind in the earth in this solar system of the Milky Way Galaxy must have been decided.
Indeed, the God must have designed that Abraham was born circa 2000 BCE, Christ Jesus appeared circa AD 1, and the end of the human world should come about the 21 century or 2000s.
But the God must be merciful and benevolent. He must give enough warnings before the decisive incident leading to the end of the world for the mankind. And, it is natural for us to regard this corona-pandemic as one of such warnings, since victims of corona-viruses are especially many in the Christian nations and regions such as West Europe and the U.S.Mark 1 King James Version
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
