Revelation 17-18 shows there are three components to the one world system of the Last Days. There’s a one world religion, a one world government, and a one world commercial system. All have been developing for longer than most people suspect and are rapidly coming to fulfillment.
Seems like the Covid-19 pandemic was helping to fulfill this prophecy.
You wrote: “Seems like”. It is more than “seems”, it was the perfect storm. Since people do not pray, or do not live their prayer, they are not able to distinguish between the beautiful lies of the TV and the Truth which “sets us free” (Jn 8:32)!
