Corona Virus a spiritual warfare (part two)

 

I have previously made mention of two out of the seven spiritual weapons we have to fight and conquer any battles we face as believers in Jesus Christ which are to Gird our waist with truth and  put on the breastplate of righteousness. Let us now look at three other weapons in our arsenal to help us gain the victory over all pandemics.

•           Shod our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Meaning, wherever we go we are to make peace with all men for we have been admonished saying; “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord." Because, the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." And, "If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men" (Hebrews 12:14; James 3:18; Romans 12:18).

•           Taking the shield of faith

Above all, taking the shield of faith with which we will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. For without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a re-warder of those who diligently seek Him." And remember, that faith ought not to be in the wisdom of men but rather in the power of God, (Hebrews 11:6, 1 Corinthians 2:5).

Remember, we have been given the assurance by Jesus Christ who is the Creator of the entire universe and whose Spirit is dwelling in the believer saying: “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you.” He said again, “For assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you” ((Luke 17:6, Matthew 17: 20).

That faith is through the power of Christ who lives in us, as we have received the consolation saying: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me: For it is God living in us through the Holy who does the work If one truly knows, understands and believes that the world in which we live is like day and night, some people are of the day, whilst others are of the night. The armor we all need to fight any pandemic is the same, it is called  the shield of faith, it is either we have our faith in the wisdom of men or we have our faith in the power of God

The crux of the matter is, one demonstrates his/her faith in the wisdom of main by relying on a vaccine to save them from any pandemic on the other hand, one demonstrates his/her faith in the power of God by boosting one's immune system which God has given us as our body guard and placing our faith in the power of God, the main ingredient here is faith.

•           Taking the helmet of salvation

The helmet of salvation is the protection and assurance of our salvation which we have received by grace through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast and therefore, our faith ought not to be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Corona Virus a spiritual warfare

The Corona Virus pandemic is not simply a physical battle but principally a spiritual warfare that is being waged by Satan and his spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places to cause people to blaspheme God by placing their faith in the wisdom of men instead of in the power God, to defile the temple of God, and to deprive them from inheriting the Kingdom of God, For over two thousand years mankind has been forewarned saying: Therefore rejoice O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time" (Revelations 12| 12).

A short time in the spiritual realm can be well over hundred years because,  we have been admonished saying, |”But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” Even the little while that Satan will be released from the bottomless pit after his imprisonment for one thousand years could be as long as one hundred years because, in the new glorious creation we are told that, “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days; For the child shall die one hundred years old, but the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.” (2 Peter 3: 8, Revelation 20:3 Isaiah 65: 20).

Therefore, the weapon one needs to fight this Corona Virus is spiritual and not carnal or physical as we have been duly admonished saying; "|For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled” (2 Corinthians 10: 3-6),

We therefore have been given a seven-fold weapon to help us defeat anything that will come our way if we truly believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

 Gird our waist with truth 

To gird our waist with truth figuratively means to prepare ourselves for something difficult or challenging with truth which of course refers to the word of God, for this is what the Lord says; "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." And in His prayer to the Father He prayed saying; "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth" (John 8:31-32; 17:17).

Truth is also figurative to Jesus Christ Himself who said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” In contrast, Satan is completely opposite to truth, As Jesus said to those who seek to kill Him, He said to them, “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me” (John 14: 6, 8: 44 45).

 Put on the breastplate of righteousness

Which figuratively means to be obedient to the commandments of God, because according to the Psalmist David; "For all Your commandments are righteousness." And of course, commemorating the act of righteousness by which we were made righteous as we have been admonished saying; "Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life" (Psalms 119:172; Romans 5:18).

For as often as one eats this bread and drinks this cup, they proclaim the Lord's death till He comes, and it is the improper discernment of this act of righteousness that is the downfall of the believer as we have been admonished saying; "Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep" (1 Corinthians 11:26-30).

God has ordained specific times for His children to offer to Him this act of righteousness, for this is what He spoke to Moses saying; "Command the children of Israel, and say to them, 'My offering, My food for My offerings made by fire as a sweet aroma to Me, you shall be careful to offer to Me at their appointed time" (Numbers 28:2).

It should also be noted that, as soon as one has been set free from sin, he| she automatically becomes a slave of righteousness and just as we presented our members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now we are to present our members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. For when we were slaves of sin, we were free in regard to righteousness and by practicing righteousness one becomes righteous even as Christ is righteousness.

Spiritual Blindness of World leaders exposed

 

The introduction of the Corona Virus Vaccine has not only revealed some crucial warning signs especially for believers such as, the testing of our faith, the defilement of our human body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit and the jeopardy of forfeiting our position in the kingdom of God as kings and priests, but it has also alerted us to the spiritual blindness of the leaders of this world.

Listening to a live discussion by two medical doctors on a television top show on the subject of the Corona Virus Vaccine led me to perceive how spiritually blinded the leaders of this world are, they see things only on the physical standpoint, they are blinded to the reality, their faith and confidence is strictly based on science, all what they can say is believe the science

But what exactly is science? Science is, the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. As one can clearly see science deals only with the physical and natural world, it knows nothing beyond the natural and the physical especially of who is actually ruling and controlling this present evil world we are living in.

There is an important reason why we have been instructed and encouraged not to have our faith in the wisdom of men, but rather having our in the power of God. It is vain and useless to have our faith in creation rather than having it in the power of the Creator. For this is what we have been instructed saying: " For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Corinthians 2: 5, 11-14).

Please note carefully that there is a spirit of this world that gives man worldly wisdom but this worldly wisdom does not understand the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them because they are spiritual discerned. The natural carnal mind is said to be in enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God (Romans 8:7).

The source of science or man's wisdom is from the prince of power of the air, the spirit who is at work in the sons of disobedience, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them" (Ephesians 2:2; 2 Corinthians 4:4).

This world, in which we live, is under the ruler ship of Satan and his demons as alluded to by the apostle Paul who wrote: "For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels." Signifying that, this present world is under the subjection of angels (Hebrews 2:5)

On three occasions Jesus confirmed that Satan is indeed the ruler of this world when He stated; "Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out." I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me." It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged" (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:7-11).

We therefore are to be extremely careful who we are giving first priority in our lives, whether it is the wisdom of men or the power of God. And furthermore, our struggles and battles are not against flesh and blood as we have been duly admonished saying: "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12).

The third warning sign for the Corona Virus vaccine

 

3. The risk of forfeiting the Kingdom of God

The third warning sign that is unfolding right before our eyes from the corona virus vaccine scandal is the danger of forfeiting ones entry into the kingdom of God. From what is presently being demonstrated and manifested with regards to the Corona Virus Vaccine, it is a clear indication that many professing believers in Jesus Christ will forfeit their place in the coming kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Taking into consideration the fact that, the main reason why we have been called and sanctified by Jesus Christ is to become kings and priests to His God and Father and to reign with Him on the earth which necessitates that we overcome this world. (See  Revelations 1:6; 5: 10).

Overcoming this world is the key factor and the main qualification a believer needs to fulfill his/her calling. It is by overcoming that one will be given access to eat from the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of God and shall not be hurt by the second death (Revelations 2:7, 11).

It is by overcoming and keeping God’s work until the end that one will receive power over the nations and will be a pillar in the temple of God  that shall go out no more and on him will the name of God and the name of the city of God, the New Jerusalem be written and God will write on Him His new name and will be granted to sit with Jesus Christ on His throne just as Jesus Christ overcame and sitting down with His Father on His throne (see Revelations 2:26; 3:12, 21).

Now the greatest challenge we face is that of overcoming the beast, who will causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" (Revelations 13:16-17).

Please note carefully that the challenge we are facing is three folds, the first one has to do with commercial activities where no one will be permitted to buy or sell unless they receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads. I therefore beg to ask the question, is the corona Virus vaccine a prelude, a preview, a mock examination or the real mark of the beast?

Regardless of what it is, I think that it is imperative that one examines closely this situation before venturing this path because the stake is too high and one cannot afford to make the wrong decision seeing that, the consequences for not taking the vaccine is almost identical to that of the mark of the beast which is not to be able to buy or sell.

The consequences for taking the mark of the beast is so humongous and irreversible, I think that it requires a considerable amount of  precautionary measures to avoid falling into this predicament, because the consequences for taking the mark of the beast is pictured as follows: "And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years" (Revelation 20:4).

Please note carefully that, unless one is willing to even allow him/herself to be beheaded for their witness to Jesus and the word of God, and not worshiping the beast, his image and not receiving his mark on their hands or on their foreheads they will not be granted ruler ship in the kingdom of God and the main reason for this irreversible situation is because of the defilement of the temple of God.

The other hindrances from entering the kingdom of God has to do with "WORSHIP" and a bar-code, a machine-readable code in the form of numbers that will be used as a form of identification which are already in progress.

Now to those who may not know, the "Beast" refers to an empire or its ruler to whom Satan the dragon has given him his power, his throne, and great authority and by worshiping him whether knowingly or inadvertently, gives the worship and glory to Satan the dragon who gave authority to the beast (Daniel 7: 17, 23; Revelation 13:2-4).

Unfortunately, this form of vain worship is very prevalent in today's form of worship and will sooner than later be forced on everyone who dwells on the earth, or be killed if not in compliance, may the eyes of our understanding be enlightened, because  these times of ignorance God has overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.

The second warning sign from the Corona Virus vaccine

 

1.      Defiling the Spiritual temple of God

The second warning sign that is unfolding right before our eyes from the corona virus vaccine scandal is the danger of defiling the spiritual temple of God. As believers, our human body is considered to be the temple of the Holy Spirit, for we have been duly admonished saying; “Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh." But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. “Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's” (1 Corinthians 5:18-20).

Let us ponder on this passage of scripture for a moment; since our bodies are members of Christ and figuratively speaking, He is the vine and we are the branches, is not the same sap that flows through the stem also nourishes the branches? Since the same sap that nourishes the stem also nourishes the branches. I therefore, beg to ask the question, is Jesus Christ not able to protect and heal the branches from any virus? Does He needs help from science and man’s wisdom?

Does not the scripture warns us clearly by stating; “Let no one deceive himself: If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness"; and again, "The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile." Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:18-21).

Consider this again for a moment, if when one who is joined to a harlot through physical intercourse becomes one body with her? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh." What about one in whose  body the stem cells or tissues of other creatures are deposited, mutated or implanted directly through the bloodstream have they not become one?

So then, as members of the body of Christ do we believe that it is a light thing to pollute, defile and contaminate the temple of the Holy Spirit with the tissues and stem cells of other inferior unclean creatures?

The Lord is very much concern with the holiness of His spiritual temple for we have been instructed saying; “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God as God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people." Therefore " Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty" (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

As clearly stated, the temple of God which is our human body has absolutely no agreement with idols; I therefore beg to ask the question, have not the leaders and citizens of this world made the Corona Virus vaccine an idol?  Think carefully, since the main objective for the worldwide distribution and administration of this vaccine is with the notion that without it the virus cannot be contained and without it, no one will be permitted to travel, enter certain public places, obtain gainful employment etc. etc.

What are we therefore implying! Are we not saying in effect that the vaccine is our only hope, our savior, our only source of assuring our daily bread, our only security, and in so doing, have we not placed our faith and confidence in the wisdom of men more than we have placed our faith and confidence in the power of God?  Therefore, the vaccine has become to the leaders and inhabitants of the world an idol with wh1ch our human body, the temple of the Holy Spirit should have no kind of agreement.

Defiling the temple of the Holy Spirit should be a matter of great concern for every member of the body of Christ since by doing so will result in terrible consequences, for we have been duly warned saying; “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are” (1 Corinthians 3:16-17).

If we have not considered the injection of our human body with the stem cells or tissues of unclean creatures as a defilement of the human body, we should consider the notion behind the production and distribution of this vaccine, because we have been admonished saying; “Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness"; and again, "The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile" (1 Corinthians 3:18-20).

The first warning sign from the Corona Virus vaccine

1.       The testing of our faith

The first warning sign that is signaled by the corona virus vaccine is the testing of the faith of God’s people who constitutes the church of God, those who are sanctified by faith in Christ Jesus and are called to be saints, with all who are in every place calling on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The introduction and implementation of the corona virus vaccine is first and foremost a test to prove the faith of all those who are calling on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, as forewarned by the apostle Paul who wrote; “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God” (1 Corinthians 2:5).

When one considers and analyzes carefully the ulterior motive, the rationale and the main objective for the worldwide promotion, recommendation and distribution of the corona virus vaccine, it is with both the presumption and assumption that the human body without the assistance from this vaccine has no resistance or power on its own to successfully combat this pandemic and the only way to succeed is by mutating the cells and tissues of human beings with a manmade vaccine: An ideology which is in total contrast and contradictory to what those who are calling on the name of Jesus Christ are instructed and called to do.

When one ponders deeply on the ulterior motive for such a decision it simply demonstrates what the inventors and the advocates are implying, What is being implied is that the vaccine, the work of science and man’s wisdom is far superior than the power of God who created the human body and even far superior than the Holy Spirit whom the Lord has empowered His children with..

The question is, are we able to sense how blasphemous and blatantly idolatrous that notion is! Because the notion and what is being implied is that the human body, God’s creative work, on its own strength is weak and powerless to effectively deal with this virus and that it needs the help and assistance from science and man’s wisdom in order to be able to combat this virus and succeed! What a travesty! What a tragedy to promote the idea that man’s immune system is incapable of resisting a virus unless it is mutated to a virus? Nothing can be more blasphemous and idolatrous than this and the sad thing is, anyone who approves of such an assumption or presumption is as guilty as those who invented it and are advocating it.

As children of God our faith, our trust, our confidence ought not to be in science and in man`s wisdom as we often hear some people encouraging others saying; “Trust Science” our trust ought to be only in the power of God who has given us of His Spirit and admonished us saying; “Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all Hisbenefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's” (Psalms 103:1-5).

We also have the consolation that God is the help of those who seek Him, as confirmed by the Psalmist David who wrote: “I will lift up my eyes to the hills---From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day or the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth and even forevermore” (Psalms 121:1-8).

And let us not forget the confirmation and guarantee of our safety for abiding in the presence of God as recorded in Psalms 91 which states for example; “Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

"Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation."

With regards to knowing the name on which we can call upon. we have been given the assurance saying; “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11).

Since all these promises for help, protection and deliverance have been promised to us but we choose to ignore them, belittle them and even scorning them and instead placing all our trust and confidence in science and in the wisdom of men, I beg to ask the question, who are we honoring respecting and worshiping, is it the One and only true God! Or are we honoring and worshiping the god of this world? Let your conscience be your guide.

There are some people who are skeptical in taking the vaccine but the rationale for their skepticism and delay is not because of the above-mentioned reasons, but because of their fear of the physical repercussions and side-effects that may occur, they are waiting to see how it will affect the lives of others first before they themselves submit their lives to it.

What a shame! What a travesty! Therefore, the Lord said; “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden" (Isaiah 29:13-14).

Now, because of the extent in which the demand to take the vaccine and the consequences which follows for not adhering to the call is so synonymous to that of the mark of the beast, this also ought to be a matter of great concern to the people of God, because we have been forewarned saying “He will cause all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelations 13:16-17).

Therefore, whether or not this is a prelude of the mark of the beast, the sensible thing one should do is to beware of it and learn to place our trust in the power of God and not in the wisdom of men because it is blasphemous and idolatrous.

Corona Virus Vaccine a warning sign

We have been given the assurance saying; “If a trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid? If there is calamity in a city, will not the LORD have done it? .Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:6-7).

And to His servants the Lord commissioned saying; “So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you shall surely die!' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul” (Ezekiel 33: 7-9).

Unfortunately, due to the blindness of disobedience many are unaware and the least perturbed of what is happening before our very eyes which leads to another prophecy which states: “Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.  For the LORD has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, namely, the prophets; And He has covered your heads, namely, the seers. The whole vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, "Read this, please." And he says, "I cannot, for it is sealed."

Then the book is delivered to one who is illiterate, saying, "Read this, please." And he says, "I am not literate." Therefore the Lord said: " Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, a marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden" (Isaiah 29:9-14).

What is presently happening all over the world today is the unfolding of three spiritual woes doomed to test the faith of the children of God, but because of our spiritual blindness due to disobedience, having placed our faith in science and in the wisdom of men instead of having our faith in the power of God, we are blinded to what is actually happening right before our very eyes.

What is happening before our very eyes with the corona virus vaccine frenzy are three things that will seriously affect the relationship between the children of God and their Father which definitely needs to be brought to their attention and leaving it up to each individual to make his/her own decision: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

The three spiritual woes that are unfolding right before our eyes from the corona virus vaccine scandal which necessitates our serious considerations are as follows;
