The COVID-19 Pandemic and Passover

It symbolic that the upsurge in the coronavirus epidemic COVID-19 has coincided with the Jewish festival of Passover that commemorates the liberation of Jews more than 3,000 years ago from an enemy determined to liquidate them. Individuals are now conscious that the world today is fighting an invisible enemy determine to exterminate them, and which so far has claimed 58,000 deaths and more than one million infected.

The parallel between today and the Jewish historical experience is enticing in at least five ways. One is the visible fight for liberation and the end of their slavery in Egypt against an oppressive foe, and then the formation of the liberated people into a nation. The U.S. and the world are fighting for physical liberation against the global pandemic, COVID-19. A second, related theme is that Jews have survived, overcoming foes, like Antiochus and Haman and Hitler through the ages, with heroes like the Maccabees and are determined to prevail. The world today will survive as a result of the increasingly stringent measures in all countries to fight the invisible foe, to run where the brave dare not go, to reach the unreachable star.

A third similarity is the historic rituals or present devices by which undesirable elements are eliminated. In Passover, all chametz, food with leavening agents in contact with moisture for longer than fifteen minutes, are thrown out as garbage, and Jewish eating habits change. We now realize that, as a result of the impact of the virus, economic, financial, and political factors thought by authorities in the U.S. to be undesirable are being bypassed, and personal life and social relations are also changing.

Indeed a dark ominous cloud is hanging over the world and the angel of death seems to be harvesting just like in the days of ancient Egypt.

The antidote then was blood on the doorposts.

It remains to be seen if HQC is the modern day equivalent?

What is Passover?
Put the blood of the lamb on your door post and then stay inside your house and don’t go out.

Observing Passover is to stay in your house and don’t go out.

According to the Gregorian calendar the first Passover was in 1528 BC (give or take) This also brings us within the vicinity of the fabled TEN PLAGUES what eventually led up to the EXODUS. Once again this brings up a repetitive or cyclical event also known as the 3600 year signature cycle which we are heading into at this moment. 1528 BC + 2020 AD = 3548. As in the past along with it come strange weather patterns, earthquakes, droughts, volcanic eruptions, famine and more lately thrown in for good measure a form of PLAGUE, and we certainly been having a good share of it on a world wide scale.

As far as the ten plagues in ancient Egypt was concerned, Egypt was not the only place experiencing some of the devastating effects, as upon checking ancient Chinese records very similar events have been recorded, in other words these problems were on a world wide scale, just as they are cropping up today. The catch is that we are just heading into this 3600 year signature cycle and no one can be sure how bad it could get, all we can do is hope to get by with the least damage to life’s and properties.
