Hi Everyone,
As outlined in this forum over the last year-and-a-half or so, something very strange has taken a firm grip over this world.
I have never denied that there is a (Corona) virus which kills people, and I have never been an anti-vaxxer (although, there is very good reason to be sceptical about these new covid vaccines, especially those of the MRNA variety, i.e. Pfizer and Moderna).
All of this aside, the massive global response to the virus has been bizarre, chilling, and disproportionate. The shutdowns, as already outlined, kill far more people than the virus itself.
Sweden is a prime example of a country that has never done a proper shutdown, instead relying more on practical restrictions and measures to limit the spread of the virus, WITHOUT putting its population under virtual house arrest, and associated death and misery brought about by the shutdowns.
For your information, Sweden has not fared particularly better, or particularly worse than its neighbouring countries, all of whom DID apply lockdowns. Thus, Sweden has clearly taken a much better, more rational path than virtually all other western nations, and even most nations on the planet. It has suffered similarly from the virus, but without the untold extra suffering of the lockdowns.
To get to my point, I have been grappling for answers to this whole situation since March, 2020. Why is it that much of the world has acted in a similarly irrational manner to the virus? Why have countries that are so different to each other acted in a similarly irrational way in response to the virus? This is a virus, it must be added, which has, at minimum, a survival rate of 99.7%. Furthermore, 80% of all infections across the globe either cause zero symptoms, or mild symptoms no worse than a mere cold. Furthermore again, the average age of death among the victims tends to match the average age of death at which people usually die anyway.
I recently had a conversation with a lady. She was not a Christian, and not what I would call a ‘conspiracy theorist’. But she was certainly an intelligent lady with whom I could have a decent conversation. She said something which has really stuck in my mind. I asked her what she thinks this whole covid/shutdown situation is all about. This was her response: ‘I don’t know what it’s all about, but I know that it’s NOT about concern for human life.’
Now, to get to the real point of this post today. I recently asked a good friend: ‘So, do you think this whole covid thing is about mass human hysteria, or is it all designed by globalist (New World Order) types of people?’
My friend answered: ‘Neither. I think it comes from a higher level, and is entirely spiritual’.
This friend of mine, for your information, is a devout Christian, and- I have to be honest- further advanced in his walk with the Lord than I currently am. And I believe that he may be onto something here. We are all very minor players on this earth, and it makes no difference if we are a humble person on the street, or even a world leader, or incredibly influential, wealthy type.
I may be wrong, as I am just a mere mortal grappling for answers in a world which currently makes little sense, but I am now firmly convinced that the irrational, over-the-top, international response to Covid-19 is spiritual, and the people of the world have now been under intense spiritual siege since the whole thing started, around March 2020.
The weird thing is that many people have been having a horrible time under these lockdowns and restrictions, but still fully support the government/media complex, and have total, religious-like trust in government-paid scientists, who are truly the high priests of our current day and age.
Here is a prime example: I mentioned just before the intelligent lady with whom I could have good conversations. She has a son, a restauranteur, who was forced to despair, totally despondent, because the government mandates had forced his business to the brink of bankruptcy. Yet, this man, in his depressed, almost beaten state, somehow retained full confidence in the government/mainstream media, and believed the extremist lockdowns were necessary. The psychology of this could warrant a book all of its own.
In a nutshell, I believe that Satan himself has been the driver of the whole thing. He has used a relatively mild virus (not mild if you die from it, I know, but nor is the flu) to hasten up construction of his totalitarian globalist empire in readiness for the arrival of the anti-Christ himself, who is yet to appear on the scene.
Just remember, God is all-powerful. While Satan is much more powerful than any human, he is equally powerless than us against the almighty. So, this intense spiritual war of the last 18 months (and still obviously going with no proper end in sight) could not have happened if God did not allow it, in His perfect wisdom. It’s hard to understand this- I’m really struggling myself- but we don’t need to understand it all. We just have to trust in God. He will bring His people through this, and use these challenging times for the good of His people. I, myself, have struggled greatly through this time, in the knowledge that I am locked out of my own country, and may never be allowed to return again.
There really is no end in sight to the shenanigans in the mentally deranged nation of Australia. In the last week, two large regional cities (Canberra and Darwin) have been placed under full lockdown, with only ONE initial case of corona in either city.
You, too, will no doubt be all too able to recall your own personal hardships brought on by this intense spiritual siege that we are all currently under. But God has changed me for the better in numerous ways through this, and I challenge you to look back and see what He has done for you during this time.
If you feel that not a lot of positives have come forth for you in the age of covid/shutdowns, then go to God in prayer, and ask Him to make it clearer for you. If it still isn’t clear, then ask Him something like this: God, there have been particularly hard times over the last year-and-a-half or so. Could you please somehow bless me through this? Could all of this negativity somehow become a positive in my walk with you, Lord?’
This is just a suggestion. In the meantime, here is a good video of under five minutes. It is not necessarily touching directly on the theme of covid and the shutdowns, but I still believe it is applicable to the theme of this post.
