The Corona-Pandemic: a Warning from Heaven to the Mankind
We may be allowed to refer to the Bible to see when the current corona-pandemic will be terminated.
Put simply, it seems that the pandemic will continue into 2024 or will be terminated around 2025. However, it does not mean that the mankind will never face other pandemics.
However, as more people are living than those who died of the corona virus, the future of the mankind must be more important. When will the human civilization be ended? And, what will happen after the era of the mankind? What will the God or Christ Jesus do to save the mankind? Will Newton's prediction that the end of the world would start after 2060 be realized? Will Swedenborg's description that the Last Judgement has been completed around 1750s in the spirit world whose influence will appear in the human world in 2 to 3 centuries be found correct?
From the view point that development of the human civilization can be measured by the degree of evolution and expansion of science and technology, there will come the critical time point when developed science and technology will start to have an opposite effect on the mankind. For example, to get rid of the fate of physical death, the mankind will develop technology to replace their biological parts in their bodies with artificial organs. They may even invent artificial brains to replace old biological brains. And, finally they will invent human-like robots. And, when the mankind are exterminated due to some fatal pandemic, the human-like robots might take over the human civilization. Human-like robots never die of biological diseases. They may travel the Milky Way Galaxy taking hundreds of thousand light years. They may conquer this Galaxy and others in the vast universe millions of years later. But, it is no more a human history.
Indeed, when people are drinking, eating, dancing, and singing as they conquer death by inventing artificial bodies in the future, the end of the human civilization might come so close.
However, the spirit world must be more important than this world or the human world. What will happen in the spirit world if the mankind is terminated in this physical world? Why and how will the God or Christ Jesus allow or act against such a fate while Swedenborg wrote that human beings were created in this world so that Heaven or the heavenly world should further develop and expand? To increase human spirits coming from the physical world to the spirit world and Heaven, the God created the mankind, on which Christ Jesus said that God the Father loves the mankind so much. Anyway, there are many galaxies, solar systems, and planets like the earth in this vast universe, so that an adverse effect will not soon appear in the spirit world even if the mankind on this earth in our solar system in our galaxy should be exterminated in the future. The God might send His Son Christ Jesus to another planet when the mankind on this planet Earth is terminated. But, it is no more a human history.
So, we had better think about the end of this vast physical universe. But again, the God will create another universe using His spirit energy when this material universe stops to exist.
Finally, we have to think about the relationship between the mankind and the God. As a basic condition, we have to respect and appreciate the God, since any possible relationships with the God should be based on our appreciation of the God, as the God has overlooked disbelief and corruption of the mankind for so long while the God has the power to exterminate the mankind at any time. As long as the God has a reason to love the mankind, we must be able to survive. But, if we lose awe and love to the God, for example, by allowing robots to take over the human civilization, the God might forsake the mankind.
The current corona-pandemic must be a warning from Heaven to the mankind.
