First they hide the fact that the economy is tanking, inflation should be sky rocketing, but by locking down and wiping out the middle class it retracts the money going in to the market.
Second I believe it is to minimize the effect of the rapture on unbelievers when it comes.
On short term future I expect Isaiah 17, Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 to happen by this spring, no matter who is the CIC of the USA.
Keep looking up our redemption draws near, thank you Lord Jesus!!!
You got it! In the midst of lockdowns and street chaos, the sudden disappearance of 30 or 40 million people in the USofA can be explained away to the dumbed down public with more than one lie served up dutifully by the scumedia. With lockdowns, discovering how many have vanished will take a while, during which time the lies will flow freely from the scumedia, as the electric grid is repaired..
In the 8th century BC, Rezin of Aram had been a tributary of Tiglath-Pileser III, the king of Assyria. In c. 732 BC, he allied himself with Pekah, the king of Israel, to attack Ahaz, the king of Judah. However, Ahaz appealed to Tiglath-Pileser III for help. This the Assyrian king obliged, after Judah paid tribute to the Assyrian king. (2 Kings 16:7–9) As a result, Tiglath-Pileser III sacked Damascus and annexed Aram. According to 2 Kings 16:9, the population was deported and Rezin executed. Tiglath-Pileser also records this act in one of his inscriptions.
