If You Believe Life Will “Return To Normal”, You Have A Fundamental Misunderstanding Of The Times In Which We Live
eotad ^ | 2/19/21 | Michael Snyder

Posted on 02/25/2021 12:19:40 PM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

Despite all of the craziness that is going on out there, many pundits are trying to convince us that life will soon “return to normal” and that great days are just around the corner. They are telling us this despite the fact that the state of Texas has been in a state of collapse this week, the real economy continues to implode, the unemployment numbers are going up, civil unrest continues to rage in our streets on a nightly basis, and our entire planet continues to become even more unstable. Those that believe that happy days are here again have a fundamental misunderstanding of the times in which we live. This isn’t a period of time when America is going to “build back better”. Rather, this is a time when America is going to go even deeper into “the perfect storm”.

One of the reasons why so many on the left are feeling optimistic right now is because the COVID pandemic appears to be subsiding…

According to a CNN analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University, the US is seeing a 29% decline in new Covid-19 cases compared to this time last week, the steepest one-week decline the US has seen during the pandemic.

Improvements have been made; in a White House briefing Friday, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the US continues to see a five-week decline, with the seven-day average of cases declining 69% since peaking on January 11.

We are being told that if the numbers continue to plummet like this, soon there won’t be a need for masks, social distancing and other restrictive measures any longer.

In fact, James Hamblin says that there is a possibility that “pre-pandemic life will return even before summer is upon us”…

If all of this holds true, it would mean that many aspects of pre-pandemic life will return even before summer is upon us. Because case numbers guide local policies, much of the country could soon have reason to lift many or even most restrictions on distancing, gathering, and masking. Pre-pandemic norms could return to schools, churches, and restaurants. Sports, theater, and cultural events could resume. People could travel and dance indoors and hug grandparents, their own or others’. In most of the U.S., the summer could feel … “normal.”

But is this pandemic really over, or is it just transitioning into a new chapter?

According to the Daily Mail, the number of confirmed cases of “Super COVID” in the United States is now doubling every 10 days…

There are now more than 1,600 cases of the UK’s B117 ‘super covid’ variant in the US, according to a DailyMail.com analysis. Cases are doubling approximately every 10 days, according to a recent Scripps Research Institute study.

‘Super covid’ cases have exploded in two states that took opposite approaches to the pandemic: California, which has been under some of the nation’s strictest lockdowns, and Florida which has never had a mask mandate.

Cases of the 70 percent more infectious variant have exploded to 433 in Florida, in less than one month since the first case was discovered there.

Of course many experts are far more concerned about the new COVID variants that have emerged in Brazil and South Africa. Both of those variants have now made it to the U.S., and we already know that the current vaccines don’t work very well against the South African variant.

Meanwhile, the U.S. economy continues to crumble right in front of our eyes.

On Thursday, we learned that another 861,000 Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week…

Last week’s initial jobless claims soared to 861,000, despite more states and cities lifting restrictive business measures amid a decline in the number of coronavirus cases. Economists had predicted around 773,000 first-time claims for the week ended Feb. 13. Data for the previous week was revised up to 848,000 from 793,000.

Unemployment claims have been at catastrophic levels for nearly a year, and now they are starting to surge higher once again.

We also just learned that a whopping 92 percent of all restaurants in New York City “could not afford to pay their rent in December”…

A new report from the NYC Hospitality Alliance shows the extreme financial problems restaurants in New York City are facing, as 92% of the city’s restaurants could not afford to pay their rent in December.

The number has steadily worsened throughout the pandemic, from 80% of restaurants in June 2020 not being able to pay rent.

92 percent!

That isn’t what a “recession” looks like.

The truth is that we are in an economic depression, and there is no end in sight.

At the same time, communities all over the U.S. continue to be plagued by civil unrest and crime.

In cities such as Seattle, violent protests and riots have essentially become a nightly occurrence at this point. But most of the violence that we are witnessing is old-fashioned crime. One study found that murder rates in major U.S. cities were up by an average of 30 percent last year, and the chaos has continued into 2021. If you want to see an example of the lawlessness that is prevailing in our urban areas right now, just watch this video.

On top of everything else, our entire planet continues to behave in very unusual ways.

For instance, on Friday morning there was a magnitude 4.2 earthquake in Oklahoma…

A 4.2-magnitude earthquake shook Oklahoma and Kansas Friday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.

The 4.3-mile deep quake hit near Manchester, Oklahoma, at 7:56 a.m. CST, according to the USGS. Manchester is in northern Oklahoma near the state’s border with Kansas.

It is not normal to see earthquakes of that size in the middle of the country, but of course we are moving into times when all of the old rules will no longer apply.

Earlier this month, I wrote an article about how volcanoes all along the Ring of Fire have been “starting to pop off like firecrackers”. I believe that we have entered a time when we will see natural disasters become increasingly frequent and increasingly powerful, and despite all of our advanced technology we are exceedingly vulnerable.

Just look at what just took place in Texas. A single wave of cold weather plunged the state into a nightmare scenario.

If cold weather can cause this much chaos in Texas, what would a much more severe long-term emergency mean for our entire nation?

The events of the past week should be a wake up call for all of us, because the road ahead is certainly not going to get any easier.

A majority of people in these times have extreme difficulty correctly interfacing with reality.

Death, destruction and dislocation on a massive scale.

All for a disease with a 99.95% survival rate.

We are in the 42nd month of Revelation Chapter 12.

Revelation isn't "exactly" chronological in its entirety. IMO, we're on he cusp of Jeremiah 51, and Revelation 18, having just began Revelation 17.

Example:

Letter to US President wanting him to reliquish control of nuclear codes to Kamala Harris & Nancy Pelosi, which is against the US Constitution.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3937636/posts

Prophecy about a future Babylonia (mystery Babylon), destroyed by fire in one hour, I believe could be America. Only a well-coordinated nuclear Perl Harbor attack could bring about this kind of destruction in so short of a time. Or asteroid/comet impact.

As described in the bible, this future dominion very much resembles modern-day America. The great sin, of course, is abortion. We've murdered 65 million of our sons and daughters since Roe V. Wade. And following America's example, by some estimates, the world has murdered 1 billion in total.

So, in less than one Jubilee (50 years), state-sanctioned killers have taken more lives inside and outside of the womb than in humankind's entire warfighting history.

Suppose Babylonia is destroyed by war. Not by some object of celestial origin. What about the nations who initiated the attack? They must remain somewhat intact to fulfilled the remaining prophecies, such as Ezekiel 38.

How is this possible, given America's ability to launch a retaliatory strike, unless somehow America's ability to undertake such a strike is eliminated?

The answer, perhaps, requires such an attack to be agreed upon and coordinated by two national leaders when coordination may not be possible and doubling the odds one such decision maker may be indecisive.

Nice!

This might be the year that Israel goes all out on Iran, Syria, and Lebanon.

I just came across this paragraph in Victor Suvorov’s (defected Soviet intelligence officer) book “The Chief Culprit”, Chapter 2:

“At one time, Communists conducted not only an open struggle, but also a secret one. Stated briefly, their ideology narrowed down to advocating:

> The old world must be destroyed, and a new one built in its place.

> To destroy the old world and build a new one, it is necessary to gain political power. Gaining political power requires using all measures, ranging from the more peaceful to the most violent, from the most open to the most secretive.

>The struggle for a new world must unfold not on a national scale, but on a world scale. The interests of the World Revolution are more important than the interests of individual countries.”

Might it explain the ideology of what’s going on here here and elsewhere in the our world today?

“Last week’s initial jobless claims soared to 861,000, despite more states and cities lifting restrictive business measures...”

Like businesses are going to hire new employees when they know they can be shut down again next week according to some politician’s whims.

Heh. You may not be incorrect about that.

A strong Saudi/Israeli response might "hook" Iran's allies (Ez.38) into such a conflict.

What is the real end game?

1. Power.

2. Control of humanity.

3. Degradation of us -- and, by proxy, of God.
