IS the Coronavirus A Sign of the End Times?
Hopefully, the coronavirus will die off and won’t spread to the entire world. But whether it does or not, what does it have to do with bible prophecy? After all, the Bible doesn’t mention COVID-19 or the coronavirus by name. So how can it be related to the end times? While no bible prophecies specifically point to the coronavirus, I believe it’s yet another sign the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is near. How can I be sure?
When His followers asked Jesus to describe the signs of His coming, one of the signs He told them to look for was “pestilence” (Luke 21:11). What is pestilence? Merriam-Webster defines it as “a contagious or infectious epidemic disease that is virulent and devastating.” Jesus said this pestilence will arrive like “birth pains” (Matthew 24:8), meaning it will increase in frequency and intensity in the time leading up to His return. Now think about this, bird flu, swine flu, Spanish flu, and more and now coronavirus. I believe as the end approaches, we should expect infectious disease outbreaks to occur more frequently, impact more people, and be more deadly. This is exactly what the coronavirus threatens to bring – a global pandemic with the potential to kill tens of millions.
Are You Prepared?
Regardless of its role in end times bible prophecy, the emergence of the coronavirus should force you to ask this question, “Am I prepared?” Now when I say this, I don’t mean are you prepared to go off grid and wait out a global pandemic. I’m talking about something much more important. If the worst case scenario plays out, are you prepared to die? After all, it shouldn’t matter whether you die of coronavirus or peacefully in your sleep. Regardless of the circumstance, your odds of dying are quite high. After all, how many people over the age of 100 do you know? Maybe a few. How about people over say 110 None, right? They’re all dead, When you die, do you know where you’re going?
If you place your trust in Jesus Christ and accept His sacrifice on the cross as payment for your sins, you’ll go to heaven. The Bible says if you confess Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). It also says all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13). The best preparation for the coronavirus is to know where you stand. Jesus says you’re either for Him or against Him (Matthew 12:30). There’s no in between. So if you haven’t ever made a decision to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, I encourage you to do so before it’s too late. Because one way or another – Jesus is coming.
This is Just my Believe and what I have read, and understand from Gods words, some may disagree and that's alright, as for me I would rather die and find out there is no Heaven then die and find out there is a hell....how about you?
