Reopen and Never Close Again
I was tempted with two titles for today’s article. The first was “Herd to Control or to Heal?”
Some experts believe herd immunity helps us to heal (fight disease) naturally. They think it would have been the wisest response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Others, in the name of health concerns, are using the virus to “herd people” under their control. That’s what will happen in the Last Days when a charismatic global figure will deceive the masses of the world for evil purposes.
I talked about a “trial run” for tyranny last week. Today I want to focus on dealing with the COVID-19 lock down with a title that states the obvious:
Reopen the economy and never close it again.
Trial Run for OWG?
One of the modern forms of taking God’s Name in vain is OMG (“Oh My God” for Neanderthals).
I’ve never used it because I respect the 2nd Commandment, believe that God should be supremely respected, and know that we’ll give an account one day for every careless word we say (Jesus told us that in Matthew 12:36).
It’s wise to trust Jesus.
I believe the consequences of the Coronapocalyse might bring a new acronym into vogue.
OWG.
Is Covid 19 a trial run for OWG?
Satanic Bean ball and Divine Curve
Since the baseball season remains cancelled, let’s use a baseball analogy.
As I ponder what a friend calls the Coronapocalypse, I become increasingly aware of two teams in combat and two “pitches” being thrown.
On one side, demonic forces are motivating some leaders to create fear, suffering, and a willingness to follow authoritarian rule through the global pandemic. This could be “conditioning” for world governance described in Revelation–or a precursor. Call it a satanic “bean ball” (an intentional pitch to hit the opposing batter).
The difference is the demons don’t want to just hurt human beings. They want to kill them (separate them from God–John 10:10).
On the other side, I missed God’s “curve ball” until recently. He wants to use these events to save, not kill, billions.
Keep your eye on both “pitches” in the coming days.
