Looking from a spiritual standpoint,
my personal take on this current virus situation is that it is an attempt by
Satan and his human minions (the worldwide cabal - globalists or
one-world government) to derail God's plan for a great ingathering of lost
souls. God is not surprised by the devil's plans and God will, in the end, turn
all of this evil into good. The current turmoil we are seeing all around the
world is just reflective of a great spiritual battle going on in the spiritual
realm. We are in a spiritual battle and we must fight with spiritual weapons.
" For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil
rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark
world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
[2Co 10:3-5 NLT] 3 We are human, but
we don't wage war as humans do. 4 We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly
weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false
arguments. 5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing
God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.
[Eph 6:10-18 NLT] 10 A final word:
Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God's armor so
that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For
we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers
and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world,
and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, put on every
piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of
evil. Then after the battle, you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your
ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness.
15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will
be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith
to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and
take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 Pray in the Spirit
at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your
prayers for all believers everywhere.
The overall picture is that
beginning at Passover this year we are going to see a move of God to begin a
great ingathering of the lost and a great empowering of the true Church. At
Purim this year, a 30-day plan to deal with the virus (a great evil) in the USA
was launched. But as in the original story of Purim, "Haman's" (the
devil's) evil plan (the virus) to destroy the Jews (God's people) was turned
into a great deliverance. The end of this 30-day current period is Passover,
the greatest deliverance that mankind has ever seen. Passover initiates
a 50 day period of reaping, the first harvest of the reaping season, the barley
harvest. Prophetically this pictures a time of preparation for the next
feast, Pentecost. Historically, it was a time when the resurrected Jesus
walked with His disciples to prepare them for the coming of the Holy Spirit and
sending them out to take the Gospel into the whole world.
[Act 1:8 NLT] 8 But you will receive
power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses,
telling people about me everywhere-in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth."
[Act 2:16-21 NLT] 16 No, what you
see was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel: 17 'In the last days,' God
says, 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will
prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
18 In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants--men and women
alike--and they will prophesy. 19 And I will cause wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below--blood and fire and clouds of smoke. 20 The sun
will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and
glorious day of the LORD arrives. 21 But everyone who calls on the name of the
LORD will be saved.'
Note that both Joel and Peter
associated this pouring out of the Holy Spirit with the "last days".
You can see the potential prophetic
significance of all of this for today. It would be consistent with the
Feasts of Israel for a new empowering of God's people to really take off about
Pentecost at the end of May. This Feast of Israel initiated the second reaping
of the reaping season, the wheat harvest (the gathering of the Church). Today
we might see this as a "gleaning" of the wheat fields.
Following the prophecies of the Feasts of Israel, it would not be
surprising to see a significant attack on Israel occur at the time of the
Fast of Mourning (the 9th of Av) at the end of July. As we come to the Feast of
Tabernacles in September we could see a period of great ingathering. If
President Trump is reelected, which he should be, this revival will
continue to 2024 unless his last 4 years are interrupted by some
unexpected event or events. After that???
For the true believer, born again
and filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, these are going to be great
times. It is in His power, and for His glory that we take our stand in the
battle. In this dark and tumultuous world, we are to be the servants of
the Most High that bring His light into a dark world. We are to be the light
and salt that leads people to the Lord Jesus.
[Mat 5:13-16 NASB] 13 "You are
the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made
salty [again?] It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and
trampled under foot by men. 14 "You are the light of the world. A city set
on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor does [anyone] light a lamp and put it under
a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
16 "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your
good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
[Dan 12:3 NLT] 3 Those who are wise
will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will
shine like the stars forever.
[Isa 9:2 NLT] 2 The people who walk in
darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness,
a light will shine.
[Isa 58:10 NLT] 10 Feed the hungry, and help those
in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness
around you will be as bright as noon.
[Jhn 1:5 NLT] 5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.
The scripture that is on everybody's lips today is
Psalm 91. Let's live by it!
TRUST THE PLAN! God's plan. It is a very, very good
plan and the end of the story is glorious!!!!!!
