See locust plague from 1915:
Free protein! But do they celebrate this? No; just whine, whine, whine...
Don’t forget the ban on DDT, which is effective against locusts. To save beneficial insects and birds, the world is willing to sacrifice millions of humans.
The thing about the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse....they ride together.Hmm pestilence=China Wuhan virus?Famine,pestilence,economic chaos, then war. But not necessarily one after the other. They ride together.
Could be considered a Biblical plague?
The 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse have always fascinated me.
Which is why I chose my screen name here at FR.
The Syncronization is Biblical.
We of the west have scorned the Sabbath, perhaps with the slowdowns, a “a month of Sundays” is being forced upon us....
Could be that the Lord is giving the world a wakeup call.
This is a thing, hysteria-driven obviously, but now definitely a thing.
Grocery stores around me closing at 8 or 8:30 (WalMart). All sit down restaurants closed and dark. Drive-thru only, where available. Even the ATM’s for the state, all casinos shut down and their buffets shut down even before that.
Gas stations (chain) are reporting sales down. All self-serve hot food shut down in the gas stations. Some gas stations closed early, it appears.I topped off at $1.85.9 for regular at the chain gas station about 7-8 miles up the road.
Hit the grocery store tonight - all TP gone, most beans gone, 1/2 of sale items gone, all bread gone (except high-priced), all hamburger gone, most steaks gone, lots of cheese gone, orange juice gone.
Also hit WalMart tonight, all TP gone, all hand soap gone, all canned soup gone (except for maybe 10 cans of Progresso), all bread gone (except in-store baked bread for $1, bought two, all hamburger gone, lots of cheeses gone, most canned beans gone, 1/2 canned vegetables gone, orange juice gone, most steaks gone, 1 $12.56 package of 120-slice cheese that I grabbed - the last one.
The media hysteria has pushed retail food sales through the roof.
“We of the west have scorned the Sabbath, perhaps with the slowdowns, a “a month of Sundays” is being forced upon us....”
Wow, I told my husband the same thing. Everything will be closed on the Sabbaths whether we like it or not. Sundays will be like they were when I was a child.
Even church will be closed, which for me, is never a Sabbath. I have to skip church in order to get one.
Ferris, you pretty much describe conditions all over the country. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html
As of this morning, the John's Hopkins map reports 10,031 worldwide deaths from COVID-19.
That is a very, very small compared to other viruses and pandemics (in world history and in modern times).
I have zero doubt that most of this is simply hysteria, driven by the media and by globalist/deep state players.
But we are all dealing with this shaking.
My wife, pastor, and friends have all said that we believe that God is using this as a wake up call to people, and a plea to come to Him before things really get bad during the Tribulation.
That didn't take long.
You can't definitively say it's not a judgment of God, any more than someone can say it is.
However, for some of us, those things are not as much of a sign of the times as other situations like the political one and the technology in place to enact and enforce a one world government and microchip tracking that allows for the mark of the beast.
There are many other factors to include.
If it were just an isolate plague, here, and a swarm of locusts there, and an occasional earthquake, that would be one thing.
But Jesus Himself said that this things would increase and they will and recognizing that is to be expected.
To be in denial about it, is what the problem is.
Besides, for some reason, although the secular world has manage dot convince people that natural disasters just happen randomly, there's something about locust plagues that makes EVERYONE think of the judgment of God.
Kind of like the 70 year Babylonian captivity for the Year of Jubilee.
I absolutely think He is.
And if people don’t pay attention now, it’s going to get progressively worse.
Israel’s history shows that.
Yes.
Imagine how quickly and lethally such a virus would kill world-wide if electricity stopped flowing for a period of time following the snatching away of Christ's Believers. The resulting plagues would arise from unburied bodies, causing the earth dwellers to beg for government to save them! The stage is being prepped for the rise of the already alive anti-Christ to take the helm. The snatching away must be very close since the Bride will be removed before the anti-Christ can be revealed, for it is the indwelling Presence of God in our born again spirits that restrains the lawless one now. (1 John 3:2 & 1 John 3:9 for reference).
The four are released in a sequence. The first is the rider on the white horse, carrying a bow but no arrows. That one is followed by another followed by another followed by the last. Once one is revealed it remains in action.
It can be spread via aerosol single particles below n95 filter size as well but in close settings it’s more apt to be particles attached to sprayed mucous or saliva. It can spread in the wind but chances of contraction that way are considerably less.
The scripture doesn’t quite say the bride will be taken up and then boom the Beast system makes its appearance. It only says that the “Restrainer will be taken out of the way first and the Son of perdition rises.” We have a lot of “white space gospel” that supports the notion of the Church being taken up”just before the Beasst”, which clashes with Revelation’s descriptions of many believers being killed or imprisoned by the Beast and his system. It may very well be that it is the Holy Spirt that is actually the Restrainer but it still doesn’t say any where that the Rapture occurs along with that nor does it say anywhere that the Restrainer IS the Holy Spirit and not some Ark Angelic entity or supratemporal Hedge that God had set up(read Job). That there will be a rapture as well as a Beast and his perverse system are both a certainty. To deny that is to deny scripture or “black letter scripture gospel”. That there will be a Rapture that takes believers off the Earth is a certainty, like Matthew 24 as well as the allusions Christ made concerning Noah and how he was taken off the Earth prior to the flood as pertaining to Christ’s children; is all certainty.
That there won’t be a rapture denies the words of Paul...”We shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed, in a moment in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet!”(again black letter gospel, not white space gospel)
Job believed in His own resurrection...”My eye shall see him,in my own flesh will I behold him, though this present flesh be destroyed, standing upon the Earth in the latter day.”
More like dominos and going into immediate action when tripped....in reality occurring almost at the same time....linearizing the timing stretches out the action reaction process in the mind but I believe the reality will be almost at once with mind numbing, heart failing(many hearts will fail out of fear for what is happening on the Earth) speed!
The authorities are closing the bars and liquor stores and medicines being affected, so this can’t be the “GREAT RIDE”....The wine and the oil are being touched!
The Presence of the Holy Spirit spark in the human spirit of ALL born agains (dead or alive 1 John 3:9) is the force restraining unopposed lawlessness. Remove the conglomeration of 'spark' and there is nothing restraining the evil one who will be able to count the days he has left before God shuts him away for a thousand years.
Have you read how Michael, an archangel, dealt with satan? He did not fight then just said 'The Lord Rebuke you'. In the snatching away scene Paul reveals in 1 Thess 4:13-17 there are three actions spoke of. The action of the archangel may be halting electromagnetic communications, so the filth in the first Heaven is erased for the arrival / union of the raptured believers meeting the Lord in the air.
I expect shortly to see calls for cashless currency based on the inherent unsanitary properties of cash in circulation especially paper. Then of course having to present germ laden debit cards and to sign with our fingers if no styli onto those display screens when paying with debit cards.....”ooooo disgusting” some View type newsbabe will shudder, as her voice creeps into the houses of “silly women” unaware...”just icky. Why it is so much better that they can just scan my personal Omnifi portal patch on my right hand...oh, Francine you have one your on your forehead, oh that image of Apol Lo, is so... isn’t he handsome!” And Francine, the economic minister to “the one and only” will reply :” by use of the personal Omnifi Portal patch,No. 1: we shall eliminate all disease spread by old fashioned forms of currency and number 2.:We eliminate economic crime from the stealing of data from old style debit and credit card mechanisms by banning their use!...all hail to “the one and only”, Apol Lo!”
