What About The Locust That Are Invading India And Pakistan Trying To Destroy The Crops?

Are The Invasion Of Locusts A End Of The End Time Sign From Heaven?

Question: What about the Locust that are invading India and Pakistan trying to destroy the Crops? Are these invasion of Locusts a end of the end time sign from heaven?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!

These days what we see in the secular Media is like a direct prophetic message or a sermon right from the pages of the Bible. Yes! We as humankind need to look in to the Bible more than ever before to keep ourselves from the deception that is coming upon the world like a deep sheet of darkness and also prepare ourselves for the Rapture so that we may escape the wrath of God that is coming upon the world for its sinfulness and atrocities.

The swarms of locusts the size of major cities have been devouring entire farms in Africa in as little as 30 seconds. These swarms have also been spreading throughout the Middle East, Northern India and Pakistan, and now we have learned that they have even reached China...

A gigantic swarm of locusts that belong to a plague that has ravaged millions of acres of crops across east Africa has now been spotted reaching the Chinese border.

Billions of the insects have destroyed food supplies across Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia in what has been described as the worst plague for decades. There are fears this swam could grow exponentially over the next few months.

China, Pakistan and Northern India On The Line Of Fire Of Heaven

Yes. Locusts.

This plague seems to be taking us right back to the Bible where in the Book of Exodus where we see the ten plagues to hit Egypt, locusts were the eighth.

Exodus10:12 reads: “And the Lord said to Moses, ‘Stretch out your hand over Egypt so that locusts swarm over the land and devour everything growing in the fields, everything left by the hail.”

Remember the last days spiritual weapon from the bottomless pit of hell which will be released during the time of Great Tribulation at the time of the sounding of the Fifth Trumpet and therefore "from the smoke [of bottomless pit] came locusts on the earth" (Rev 9:3) which were demonic spirits bound up till that time from the time of Noah, were released by sovereign hand through Satan who was given the key to bottomless pit to release these tormenting spirits which will make men on earth to desire death rather than going through such torment (Rev 9:1-12). For five months this torment according to the wrath of the Lord, will linger on earth after which two more woes will be coming to earth after these things (Rev 9:10, 12).

The army of locusts on earth are God's judgmental weapon of anger against the inhabitants of the land for their sin and lack of repentance towards God (Prov 30:27). But repentance will always make the Lord turn from his anger to show his mercy towards the repentant people and restore his blessing upon their lives (Joel 2:25). God has different types of locusts as weapon of his judgment for every ocassion and timing to make people turn towards him and repent so that times of refreshing came come to every one of them from the Presence of the Lord (Joel 1:4-5; Acts 3:19). Locust is an clean insect which we can eat except some types that we as humans are not supposed to consume, which conveys to us the message that when we deny God the space to live and enjoy within our lives through faith and holiness, our life which is supposed to be clean suddenly becomes unclean and our light become darkened within us without the Presence of God working through us (Lev 11:22). John the Baptist as a forerunner of Jesus, carried on eating locusts, wild honey and wore a leather belt around his waist and he was clothed in Camel's hair which shows us how much of a radical life of holiness he had lived for the Glory of God in the desert to continue to fulfill His plan for their lives (Mar 1:6). Even at the cost of all risks involved if we continue to pursue holiness, we would soon be in the center of the will of God to fulfill all His plans and purposes for our lives to live a effective and a purposeful life.  

When God speaks and gives an order, young locusts without number come to some specific places as a sign of God's judgment to make the people living in those area to repent (Psa 105:34). Even in the midst of such a judgment of locusts upon the people of the earth, still it conveys to us sinners who could be the object of God's fatherly love for the people and how they could believe and live for the Glory of God (2 Chron 7:13; Isa 33:4). Locusts is God's judmental destroying weapon on unbelieving people's sin so that they can take this opportunity to repent for the lack of thankfulness towards God, and this also gives believers the opportunity to erase the past which God doesn't want them to continue to accomodate and be realigned straight in the midst of the will of God (Psa 78:46).

The plague of as many as 360 billion insects has so far devastated East Africa before moving over Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and India and are now knocking on the door of China. The locusts are God's devouring machines to judge the people on earth who live a lifestyle without repentance (Nah 3:15).

These locusts could wreak havoc on the winter wheat crops in a nation that is already suffering so severely.

The severity of these attacks are real, tangible and measurable. The question is, are these things the consequence of attacking the Christians and effectively declaring war on God?

The fact is, when Mao Zedong began to attack Christians in 1949, kicked out all of the missionaries, destroyed the church buildings, burned Bibles, and made evangelism illegal, China saw more death than any nation in human history. At least 70 million people died in China from starvation, famine, persecution, and execution.

Can Duck And Chicken Really Stave Off Locust Sent By God In These End Times?

For the past weeks we can almost see daily the news papers filled with news about locusts invasion from Africa to Asia.

Locusts can either be controlled biologically or through pesticides.

From the context of environmental protection, the benefits of biological control are more.

The former has high killing costs and pesticide residues, and the latter not only has no environmental pollution, but also can repair the biological chain.

After fighting the locusts, the ducks could become food too. In addition, after the ducklings are grown, the meat is tender, and after the locust eradication ‘retires’, it can become a delicious dish on the table of local residents, bringing economic income, the Chinese believe.

A chicken can eat 70 locusts a day, and a duck can eat more than 200, which has three times the combat capability. Moreover, ducks eat locusts in a carpet-like manner.

Ducks like to live in groups and are more convenient to manage than chickens. They have stronger vitality, foraging ability, and resistance to cold, which is suitable for survival in the wild.

Yesterdays news said, 'For friend Pakistan, China to send 1,00,000 ducks to stave off locust swarm.' These times of sorrow on the world are bringing the nations of the world together, so that the one world government could suddenly come as predicted in the Bible. 

Locust swarms can fly up to 150km (90 miles) a day with the wind, and eat as much in one day as about 35,000 people. Think about it for a while, if so many peoples food are eaten away, then what about them? That is when famines begin to take control of nations after pestilence, depriving it of one of the most basic need for survival of humans, which is the daily food they eat.

How many ducks and chikens can be sent in to locust zones when it begins to suddenly take over the fertile lands for its food? In a few hours, all the crops will be eaten away by the locusts completely. If Pesticides are used through drones to kill locusts, the effect of it makes the same land less conducive to produce crops and may even have the unfertile effect upon it for years after that.

Only a month ago around January 25, 2020 billions of locusts swarming through East Africa which the experts said are the result of extreme weather swings, they have proven to be catastrophic for a region still reeling from drought and deadly floods. Dense clouds of the ravenous insects have spread from Ethiopia and Somalia into Kenya, in the region’s worse infestation in decades. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated one swarm in Kenya at around 2,400 square kilometres -- an area almost the size of Moscow -- meaning it could contain up to 200 billion locusts, each of which consume their own weight in food every day. They said if unchecked, locust numbers could grow 500 times by June, spreading to Uganda and South Sudan, becoming a plague that will devastate crops and pasture in a region which is already one of the poorest and most vulnerable in the world.

What Is God's Solutions For Our Times? 

In the Bible’s Book of Exodus, a plague of locusts was one the 10 punishments, which fell upon the lands of Egypt as punishment for enslaving the Jewish people.

Here is what the Bible reveals about that event that happened,

""So Moses stretched out his staff over Egypt, and the Lord made an east wind blow across the land all that day and all that night.

"By morning the wind had brought the locusts; 14 they invaded all Egypt and settled down in every area of the country in great numbers.

"Never before had there been such a plague of locusts, nor will there ever be again.

They covered all the ground until it was black. They devoured all that was left after the hail—everything growing in the fields and the fruit on the trees.

"Nothing green remained on tree or plant in all the land of Egypt." (Exod 10:13-15).

The present day scenario of the devastations caused by the plague of locusts in our times are like we haven’t seen since the days of the Bible, and since no nations can completely control it, it is a sign. According to the Bible, it is indeed the last days "signs in the earth beneath" that has been predicted by the Bible (Acts 2:19). The sign of the vapor of smoke on the earth that is described in Acts 2:19 which is the climate change factor happening now that causes locusts, will also be very much responsible for the darknening of the sun in the coming days.

The prophetic signs of the end times are here and the Second Coming of Christ is fast approaching, it is time for us to hear the unmistakable trumpet sound of God from heaven through these signs which are shown by God for us to repent of our sins and families and nations, to look to the Lord for God's solutions of abundant life and Rapture in these distressing times of the very end of the end times before the wrath of God will be released upon the world and its inhabitants for their sins and wickedness upon the whole wide earth (Rev 3:10; 2 Tim 3:1). Only the watchful and praying believers who are counted worthy by their faith will escape the wrath of God coming upon the whole wide earth (Rev 5:5, 9-10; Luke 21:36). Maranatha! O dear Lord Come (1 Cor 16:22)!

Is China The Original Villain In The Book ‘Predicting’ Coronavirus Outbreak?

Who Really Made 'Wuhan-400' Virus And Let It Out To Become 'COVID-19'?

Question: Is China the original villain in the book that predicted Corona virus? Who really made 'Wuhan-400' virus and let it out to become 'COVID-19'?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!

We are a Christian website who give our apostolic view from the Bible about the end time events, doctrines of the Bible...who also actually do apologetic work by the grace of God.

It is no coincidence that Koontz’s The Eyes of Darkness made headlines in the past week after readers noted the story concerned a man-made virus called Wuhan-400 developed in a biological weapons lab in Wuhan, China – ground zero of the current coronavirus outbreak – and described as the “perfect weapon”.

Actually we know that one of the most developed high-security biochemical lab is in Wuhan, the Chinese city from where the epi-center of the outbreak has been located.

Because of China’s duplicity and dishonesty, the chinese people are going through hell on earth through the outbreak of the Corono virus leakage and seepage out of the high-security biochemical lab, which was used as a bio-scientific weapon development base of the Communist party for decades in the past.

China right now is not giving evidence on that question at all because of the leaked evidence which they tried to hide for the past two to three months time. Why should Dr. Li Wen Liang should be arrested back in December 2019 last year, for being a whistle blower 'spreading rumors' about a mysterious pneumonia like virus by the Chinese Communist Party when all he did was discover it for first time as an unusual virus and tried to raise awarness among people so that they could stay safe?

Dean Koontz’s The Eyes of Darkness originally contained details of a man-made virus called Gorki-400 from the Russian city of Gorki.

Everyone was thinking in terms of two great powers – America and the Soviet Union during the Cold war times, the good guys and the bad guys. It’s easy to see how you might substitute one bad guy for another, Gorki for Wuhan virus. But that is not the end of the story, but perhaps what is seen as a Chinese desire for hegemony in our times has no parallel because it has become a state with iron screen all around it and has no respect for humanrights and human life.

America decided to extend a helping hand to the Chinese by giving them a friendly hand of providing permanent seats with veto power on the UN Security Council and also opening up trade after the second world war, thinking and expecting them to come out of poverty and oppression which they thought might perhaps bring them to sanity in their outlook with which they will be deserting communism and socialism which were the failed gift transferred perhaps from Russian influence over it.

But lo and behold, exactly just as the change to Wuhan from Gorki came when the book was released in hardback under Koontz’s own name in 1989 – at the end of the Cold War, the communist and social frame in which the Chinese built themselves never changed except they heralded a new unprecedented era of wealth with no character of even a hint of human symbolism in it.

Is it a strange coincidence, that the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which houses China’s only level four biosafety laboratory, the highest-level classification of labs that study the deadliest viruses, is just 32km from the epicentre of the current coronavirus outbreak. The opening of the maximum-security lab was covered in a 2017 story in the journal Nature, which warned of safety risks in a culture where hierarchy trumps an open culture.

It is no fringe conspiracy theories that the coronavirus involved in the current outbreak is a man-made one and it has escaped from the Wuhan virology lab, it cannot be debunked because the fact of the matter is that this lab was one of the first to sequence the coronavirus.

Chinese scientist have already warned that Covid-19 virus may become an established illness, like influenza and we already know that it is bigger than SARS, as chinese reports its uncontrollable high number of new cases since Wuhan lockdown began nearly a month ago. The spread of the virus infection is steadily increasing all over China and even in Singapore and other southern asia countries even as I write these things.

Clearly the Bible predicts that such things would happen when Jesus talked about "pestilences and famines" coming around in the world during the sorrowful time of the end (Matt 24:7-8), just before the Great Tribulation of the very end would start to make the wrath of God to be revealed for the sins of the world to be judged (Rev 3:10; Matt 24:15, 20-21), and for it to be restored back to the Millenium rule of Jesus Christ as the King of the world for a thousand years time along with the Church (Rev 3:21; 20:6). Praise the Lord!

So what does the Bible say to us regarding these situations we are in, in the midst of so many people dying because of Corona virus being quarantined and left to rot and die in a inhumane way as a beast without any one to even remember the ocassion, in their own houses where the Communist party have ordered the houses of the infected people to be sealed and left to die for their own home to become their own graveyard?

Jesus clearly said in the Bible which can be rephrased in our contemporary times to us in the following way, "2 "Do you think those who died by Corona virus were worse sinners than other men from China and even our own nations we live in?" he asked. "Is that why they suffered? 3 Not at all! And don't you realize that you also will perish as a sinner soon oneday suddenly without expecting it unless you leave your evil ways and turn to God? 4 And what about the three thousand humans who died when the twin Tower of America fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in America? 5 Not at all! And you, too, will perish unless you repent and receive eternal life to live forever with God." (Luke 13:2-5, LB).

Repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved (Acts 16:31), then learn to continually "Watch and Pray", so that you and I may be able to escape through Rapture the Great Tribulation that is coming upon the whole world for its sinfulness to be judged by God (Luke 21:36; Rev 3:10).

Have The Chinese Been Affected By nCoV Because Of Eating Unclean Animals Against The Will Of God Revealed In The Bible?

What Does Isaiah 66:17 Have To Do With Corona Virus?

Question: Have the Chinese been affected by nCoV because of eating unclean animals against the will of God revealed in the Bible? What does Isaiah 66:17 have to do with Corona Virus?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!

What Animals Can we eat according to the Bible?

According to Leviticus, clean meat is defined as the meat of every animal that has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud. Examples of clean meat include the ox (cattle), buffalo, sheep, goat, deer, gazelle, antelope and mountain sheep, just to name a few.

Which animals should not be eaten according to Bible?

Man should not eat "the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you." This means that the animals that can be eaten would need to have hooves in which each has two parts, cleft down the middle, and which also chew their cud, such as cows, goats, and sheep.

Swine are excellent incubators of toxic parasites and viruses, and often carry a variety of disease-causing organisms while appearing to be healthy. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), numerous viruses and other infectious agents are brought into the United States each year in pigs (mostly from China). Of course, you’re probably familiar with H1N1, better known as the “swine flu”—a virus that has made the leap from pig to human. Pork should be considered a homo-toxin (human poison) and the probable cause of many common sicknesses and degenerative diseases.

Rabbits eat their own excrement, consequently, the toxicity levels of rabbits are significantly higher than in other herbivores. Bile salts, fatty acids, gases, and ammonia levels are all at unacceptable levels for human consumption. Many other rodents have similar digestive issues.

Shellfish — eat at your own risk, unclean aquatic creatures are either scavengers or predatory carnivores (such as most sharks). Most clean, edible marine life—those with both fins and scales—are found in deep or fast-running waters and primarily consume algae. However, many varieties (such as the common bass) eat smaller fish, frogs, insects, etc.—but clean fish do not eat dead matter. They also have an efficient enzymatic system of detoxification.

All aquatic scavengers—shellfish, shrimp, catfish, crabs, lobster, squid—are toxic, and their consumption violates God’s instructions designed to protect human health. Why gamble with your health by eating what God has declared to be unclean? Has not God given mankind an abundance of clean fish to eat?

Having spent hundreds of years as captives of the Egyptians, the children of Israel were familiar with certain diseases common to the land. As God revealed in His instructions to Moses, many of these diseases were completely avoidable through the practice of proper hygiene and sanitation (Deut. 23:12-13) and the practice of quarantining those who are ill (Num. 5:2-3). God also gave laws concerning the avoidance of unclean meats that, when followed, would help insure good heath (Lev. 11; Deut 14).

As a loving Father, it is not God’s desire to deny mankind anything that is good, profitable, or that would bring godly joy and happiness. Indeed, it is God’s heartfelt desire for all to be in health and prosper (III John 2), and to live abundantly (John 10:10). Because of His tremendous love for us, God has forbidden that certain animal meats be consumed by His people—as they represent very significant health risks!


So, what did Jesus eat?

As an observant Jew, Jesus would have followed the dietary laws laid down in the 11th chapter of the book of Leviticus, which would have included all the foods made of grains, all fruits and vegetables, and clean animals which must have included cattle, sheep, goats, some fowl, and fish. Jews could eat grasshoppers or locusts, as John the Baptist did, but no other insects. Jesus fed 5,000 people, he multiplied five barley loaves and two small fish. Bread was made of available grains like wheat, barley and millet, etc...Fresh fish would have been plentiful around the Mediterranean coast, Sea of Galilee and Jordan River, so fish must have been his favorite food and the same must have been for most of the Jews in Israel that He used it in his teaching and even miraculous multiplication of it to take the message of God to the people. Much of the diet in ancient Palestine consisted of fruit and vegetables also. In Matthew 21:18-19, we see Jesus approach a fig tree for a quick snack. Jesus ate after his resurrection some broiled fish and some honeycomb (Luke 24:42).

Thus we see that in the New Testament, we take the view, that God has created all things for us to enjoy (1 Tim 6:17). Does it really make sense that God would forbid man to eat pork, catfish, shellfish, rabbit, rat, snake, bat, crocodile, dog, cat, pangolin and numerous other meats for any reason except to protect us from damaging or ruining our health? One of the key purposes of the Bible is to reveal things to mankind that we could not otherwise discover on our own (1 Cor 10:11). Thus Christ who has come to fulfill the law (Matt 5:17-18), has always for the past 2000 years have been “magnifying the Law and has made it glorious” and he will continue to do it along with the Church for the next Millennium in which Jesus together with the Church will rule the whole earth (Isa. 42:21). Thus teaching us to keep it and therefore teach others of its blessing for the Glory of God, not just as a letter of the law religiously but as a fruit of his grace that will fulfill the righteousness by faith through a intimate relationship with God through His Spirit (Matt 5:19).

Paul the leading apostle who wrote one third of the New Testament said to Church as a whole and also specifically to the end time believers prophetically saying,"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer." (1 Timothy 4:1-5).

Is Paul upending centuries of Jewish adherence to Old Testament food laws? Is Paul contradicting his own later claim that he had committed “nothing against the people or the customs of [the] fathers” (Acts 28:17)—which would have included the laws of clean and unclean meats? I believe that Paul was speaking within the boundary of the created "to be received", within the category of clean meats which were created to be received as food with thanksgiving. God also created animals that were never designed to be eaten by humans—thus they are termed unclean. Thus Paul in 1 Tim 4:1-5 was actually condemning an ascetic demonic doctrine that prohibited even the consumption of clean meats and he did not encourage everyone to eat unclean meats against the perfect will of God revealed in the law.

For example even during the days of Noah in which humans were let loose to become Non-vegetarians, still God instructed him to sacrifice and eat only the clean animals and birds (Gen 8:20-22). But later opened up the flood gates of choosing "every moving things that lives" to be food for the people of the world just like the green herbs (Gen 9:3). Can all the green herbs can be eaten? We see that some prophets from the school of prophets that Elisha had, got the ingredients for the pottage, wild herbs, from the field. “Field” is the Hebrew 'sadeh' which refers to an open, uncultivated area of land where you can only find that which grows wild. The unnamed gatherer of the herbs went out and found what he thought would make a good stew. These herbs were soft, succulent plants without a lot of woody tissue; they were palatable, and often used for medicinal purposes or for their sweet flavor and aromatic scent. But what he found out in the field (a picture of the world) were poisonous herbs. Untrained in these matters, he mistook the wild vine for an edible cucumber or squash. What he found is believed to be the citrallus colocynthus, which had a leaf like a squash but was bitter and poisonous due to its very severe purgative qualities. If eaten in large amounts it would tear up the digestive tract and could even cause death. In small amounts you might not die, but you might think you were going to--and might even want to.

What’s the picture? The world has both poisonous, wild and unclean herbs as well as meats, though it may look harmless and even resemble the good clean food, but they are bitter to our health and bring unhappiness to man. So we should always separate the edible, healthy and nutritious from the unclean that we should not eat, so to eat wisely for us is to live abundantly and healthy for a long time to glorify God through our lives (1 Kings 4:38, 39-41).


Did Jesus Declare All Meats as Clean?

Jesus was simply pointing out that the Pharisees’ ritual washings were ineffective and unnecessary in preventing spiritual defilement; rather, true spiritual purity is a matter of the heart and mind. Again, this passage does not deal at all with the subject of clean meats to eat and unclean meats to avoid! (Mark 7:1-5).


What about Peter's vision in which God instructed him to eat the unclean animals, was it a literal or a spiritual message?

God was showing Peter and the Church that Gentiles were being offered salvation—that they could become spiritually circumcised. Thus, the subject matter of Acts 10 has nothing to do with clean and unclean meats. God simply used the vision of unclean animals to emphasize a point to Peter—that when God has spiritually cleansed a Gentile, he is not to be deemed common or unclean. Ultimately out of this all Peter the apostle understood that God is no respecter of person, people of all nations are acceptable to Him as long as they fear God and works righteousness (Acts 10:14-15, 28, 34-35).

"The Lord says, "The end is near for those who purify themselves for pagan worship, who go in procession to sacred gardens, and who eat pork and mice and other disgusting foods."" (Isaiah 66:17, GNT).

In the above verse if we take it in proper context and not read in to the Scripture the fad idea of our end times, we know that Corona virus has nothing to do with it, because in the above verse even though we know that these pagan worshipers of idols who were involved in perverse sexual practice for their deity after their great procession, which then ends the festival of celebration with pork and mice eating binge, God warns them that their end is very near which may be the judgment of the Lord. It is true that the unclean animals which are eaten may carry certain very bad virus like H1N1 Flu Virus (Swine Flu), and even sometimes even clean birds might catch with virus like H5N1 bird flu (Chicken virus), etc...to be killed in lot to prevent the spread of such virus from further affecting other stocks. But the reason for the Corona virus spreading in China is due to a leakage and seepage of the virus out of the most advanced epidemic disease research and weapon development laboratories managed by the Chinese government is the known cause of its outbreak. Chinese have not kept the safety standard like the US as they were developing some of the most secret and devastating bio-weapons within it, thus when the virus seeped in to downtown and spread among the people rapidly, they were not able to contain it as they expected initially. Thus when it spread and became a pandemic, the instant scape-goat which the Chinese government projected to the world was snakes, rats, bats, pangolins, etc... from which it is believed to have started in a market in the city of Wuhan, in central Hubei province that also sold live wild animals. To take these poor wild creatures as the cause of the outbreak is such a laughable idea that nobody will be ready to take especially when we all know that these animals have been eaten by the Chinese for a long long time because of some religious belief and superstitions that have made its meat considered a delicacy. In other south eastern Asia countries too that have related belief of Buddhism, spiritism and the like culture similar to it, have similar related culture where they eat wild reptiles, whales, tortoises, crocodiles, pork, cockroaches, insects, rats, etc....just like China as delicacies to enjoy. But they have carried on without much trouble in their lives because they are always immunized enough due to consuming it from childhood days.

Even though health experts think it may have originated in bats, pangolins, etc... and then passed to humans, possibly via another species, yet as we have discussed earlier, the possibility is very less as the eating habits of such wild creatures among Chinese have already been imbibed in the culture itself.

I want you to tell the exact Biblical truth or the reason that heaven gives for the spread of Corona virus in our days. The Lord God through the Bible clearly says, " 19 “Or if I send a pestilence into that land and pour out My fury on it in blood, and cut off from it man and beast, 20 even though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness.” 21 For thus says the Lord GOD: “How much more it shall be when I send My four severe judgments on Jerusalem—the sword and famine and wild beasts and pestilence—to cut off man and beast from it?" (Ezekiel 14:19-21). In other words "pestilence—to cut off man and beast from" the face of the earth is one of the "four severe judgments on" the land. It is God's fury for Corona virus to mix in the blood of not only humans but also the beasts on the land because of the sins of humans. In other words, even the animals and birds suffer and groan for freedom through the sons and children of God looking for liberty from the fury of God caused by human sins (Rom 8:19-20, 21-22). Why blame wild and domesticated animals for the virus spreading pestilences, when sin is the ultimate reason for the widespread death and repentance the prevention from it (Luke 13:1-9). Jesus predicted the same "pestilences and famines" during the "beginning of sorrows" just before the end starts with the "abomination of desolation" from which the time of Tribulation will start to come upon the world any moment of time (Matt 24:7, 8, 14-15). This "abomination of desolation" is nothing but Antichrist who has made previously a peace covenant on behalf of nations of the world with Israel for 7 years time, which is known as Daniel 70th week will suddenly stop the temple sacrifice to break the covenant at the middle of the three and half years time, and he will declare himself to be the God of this world (Dan 9:27; Matt 24:15; 2 Thess 2:2, 3, 4). From this moment on wards, a time of great Tribulation may break forth any time in all the world according to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.


So to your above question, have the Chinese been affected by nCoV because of eating unclean animals against the will of God revealed in the Bible?

According to me, my answer is, a yes and a no, 'a yes' I have pronounced because as we have already seen, eating unclean animals are not healthy for humans or else the Lord would not have prohibited it through the dietary law for His people of the nation of Israel. My answer is 'a no' because, as we have also seen how a nation like China and south eastern Asia nations near it are used to eating wild animals, insects and birds for the centuries past, so they have become immunized to its ill effect mostly.

So whether as we have already seen, even if it is the bio-laboratory seepage and leakage of Chinese interest and deep desire to rule the world, they have errored in safety precaution to contain it, yet it cannot happen without the knowledge of the Lord, so we know even such acts come under the pestilence that God sends as judgment against nations which do not align to the will of God revealed in the Bible in these times of beginning of sorrows before the very end time start, and end with the day of Christ coming to this earth to rule it for a thousand years time along with the Church from the New Earth and New Heaven. In other words, humans in their quest for power and dominance, might have started it, but they themselves find no way to contain it from spreading contagiously through materials in the land, air and water, which is a deadly combination for the destruction of humankind in their own nations. Indeed, this Corona virus is a sure judgment from the Lord over the nations, who are not ready to repent of its sins but instead are in quest for power and dominance in these end times. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them (Prov 26:27). In other words, no one can cover it before the Lord who rules the heaven and earth, for He is never distracted because of too much information and false propaganda to turn the mind away from what is happening in reality in their own nations.         

Let us all "watch and pray" as Jesus has advised the Church to be during these times of intense deception from the world and persecution and hate against the Church which we are all experiencing in the world now before the falling away comes in the Church first (Matt 24:3-5, 11-13; 2 Thess 2:3; 1 Pet 4:17-18, 19), so that we may be truly saved and endure with faith to the end to be ready for the Rapture of the Church which the Lord has promised to be a escape route out of the Great Tribulation that is coming upon the whole wide world for it to experience unprecedented suffering and death for sin and evil works like never before or ever after in this earth since the beginning of time (Luke 21:36; Rev 3:10). You can almost hear the footsteps of Jesus coming to open the doors of heaven to rapture the Church!!! You can almost hear the Trumpet sound...! Get Ready!

Much Blessings....

Parables Of Jesus - Shining Lamp!

Lamp On A Stand Or A Lamp Under The Basket, Which Is Logical And Practical?

Always we should understand that Jesus used certain earthen imageries to describe the heavenly truth of the Kingdom of God that is being established on earth. Heavenly realities cannot be fathomed and experienced in our lives, unless we become familiar to identify with the workings of God that are already true in our lives. With better understanding of the truth, we become better users of the truth in our lives. Glory to God!


Come on here we go...



Matthew 5:14-16 — "14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."


Here in the above parable, Jesus says, 'You are the light of the world.' Light is something that reveals, darkness is something that conceals. The Bible affirms to us believers that, "We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the sway of the evil one. (1 John 5:19, CEV). In other words, we know within us when we are born again and that we belong to God (John 3:3-8; 1 John 3:24; 4:13; John 1:12), because already we sense the light of God shining upon us confirming with assurance within us through the Holy Spirit that we are a child of God and that God has saved us from sin (Rom 8:14, 15-16, 23-26). Praise the Lord! Do we see ourselves now as the light of the world?

Babies are the closest thing to heaven because they are not born with darkened mind (Mark 10:13-15). People are not born with darkened mind of sin, but the devil influences all the people in this present world to become darkened in their minds through their unthankfulness to God by sowing seeds of unbelief that grow within them to defile them through a debased mind of the soul instead of being led by the Spirit of God (Rom 1:21, 28; 8:14). So plainly we were darkness before we received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior of our life which saved us from sin and death to make us receive eternal life within which has made us to become light in the Lord (Eph 5:8). Before we were saved, we concealed ourselves within our own belief and religious fervor that God rejected since time began (Gen 4:7). All our law keeping and religious works and self righteousness are like filthy rags of sin that reveals our spiritual nakedness with which we have no rights to stand in the Presence of the Lord which is holy (Isa 64:6; 6:5; Matt 22:12). But thank God for his mercy and grace and love, when we have believed Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, from that moment onwards we have been clothed with garments of salvation and robe of righteousness (Isa 61:10).

A man who is born again is like a man who is set as a city on a hill, his good works cannot be hidden from the world or to himself as they become filled with the Spirit (Acts 10:38; 6:15, 55-56; 2:4, 14; Acts 13:9). So why city on a hill is the example Jesus used? Because the city in itself is the city of God on the hill of Zion in heaven, about which Abraham our father of faith dreamed along with other great saints who lived to desire for it intensely while they were alive (Heb 11:13-16), and Jacob saw it being connected to the earth through a ladder which is Jesus Christ (John 1:51; Gen 28:11-13). The human who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and is saved suddenly lifts his head not to other humans but to the hill of the Lord in heaven (Psa 121:1-2), the city of God (Heb 12:22-24, 25-29), from where his help comes from. So the very symbolic language used by Jesus represents that every believer is set in the heavenly places along with Jesus, to which the component of his spirit within lifts him up to see from within his spirit the city where He stands upon and longs for where God dwells (Eph 2:19-23; 2:6).

Therefore we are exhorted to “put on our beautiful garments” (Isaiah 52:1), and be prepared to meet our King, as we are saved for good works..therefore we the bride of Christ must be “arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: . . . which is the righteousness good works of the saints” after they believed Jesus Christ and got saved by grace through faith (Eph 2:8-10; Revelation 19:7,8). God wants a radiant and a glorious Church to be presented to himself as the bride of Christ (Eph 5:26-27), hence the last days revival will be the "washing with water [i.e. of the Spirit] through the WORD", so that we will not become spotted by the world, flesh or self to stay as pure virgin to Christ and be holy and blameless in His Presence (2 Cor 11:2; Eph 1:4; 1 John 2:15-17; Luke 9:23-26; Gal 5:13; Rom 13:14). Let us know and learn through our born again experience to let our light of the life of Jesus out from within us to the world around us to save as many as we can so that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us all who have been saved with Jesus and present us all with you in His presence on the last day (John 1:4, 9; 2 Cor 4:14; 1 Thess 5:23-24). While garment of salvation is a single item of clothing given at the time of salvation that stays with a beleiver for eternity, the robe is a long loose outer garment, that will be given often signifying honorary stature which depends on the works of the believers done after salvation. So saints, fight for the honor that comes from God and that which will stay with you for eternity ahead and not the temporary honor of men which will soon pass away (Gal 1:10; John 5:44).                     



Mark 4:21-25 — "21 Also He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lamp stand? 22 For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” 24 Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given. 25 For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”"


The Gospel of Mark gives a better understanding about the what is the light that the lamp of the Lord emits in relation to reality of God's existence. So here again Jesus says, the lamp of the spirit within a believer is not to be put under subjection of the soul or the body, but rather the soul and body of a believer should be put up on the lamp stand of the spirit direction. So in the above explanation we see the soul as the basket, or the bed as the fleshly body of a believer and finally the lamp stand as the spirit of the believer.

So what is the light which comes out of the lamp of the spirit of believers? First of all the Presence of God is hidden to all humans as they all have a dead spirit within them without believing in Jesus Christ. So this light of the revelation of God's existence will be revealed to all believers and will no more be kept as a secret anymore after they become a believer (Rom 8:9). The consciousness of God's Presence is the hallmark of the believer's life in Christ Jesus after they become saved from sin unto eternal life (1 John 2:27). If a person is saved already, he will have his inner spiritual ear opened already to hear the voice of God the Spirit from within his spirit-man (Heb 12:25-29). Again Jesus has insisted us believers in Him to be very careful to hear the voice of God and not the voice of the soul which operates by the fleshly desires of food, sex and comfort, so that a little obedience may be able to bring more of His guidance and leading through out our lives on earth to make it a blessed pilgrimage within the Presence of God where the perfect will of God will be fulfilled through our lives. God rewards us by the measure of percentage we obey to His voice and the Word of God which is the lamp upon the lamp stand of the spirit. Perfect submission and obedience brings perfect blessings upon our lives. Lesser percentage of submission and obedience brings lesser percentage of blessings upon our lives. The guarantee of hearing the voice of God and feeling the Presence of God to have consciousness of it in our lives depends on the percentage of our response to the voice of God we have in our lives. The more we obey, the greater will be the blessings of God in our lives which will keep on increasing in every area of our lives. Whoever starts to live out of their soul and body, and does not even bother to hear more of His voice and His Word of the promises of God in their lives, will lose even the small percentage of capacity they have to hear the voice of God and feel the consciousness of His Presence in their lives to guide them.



Luke 8:16-18 — "16 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lamp stand, that those who enter may see the light. 17 For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. 18 Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.”"

Here in the above context, the same theme of the lamp, light, lamp stand comes, where the lamp of the Word of God that gets lit to become en-flamed by the Holy Spirit, is kept by choice of ours to hear its instruction and let the lamp stand of the spirit man hold and direct the soul and the body in its light (Psa 119:105; Prov 20:27). When the spirit searches the soul to find the will of God to make us reject the wrong and accept the right direction that God has planned in our lives by the consciousness of God's Presence (Heb 4:11-13), then the good works naturally flow out of our lives where ever we go and what ever we do in our lives to bring Glory to God (Acts 10:38-39). So only those who take care to set the lamp stand in its place to shine out the light to others, will only likewise be able to see the light themselves, or else even after salvation some soulish believers are continuing to walk in darkness like in the days they were unsaved without ever having the light of the revelation of God's conscious Presence in their lives (Heb 13:4-6). Such a pathetic and miserable life they will have on earth without the consciousness of God's Presence because of the lukewarmness of being directed by their soul and body and not by the spirit. If a believer hears the voice of self from soul to a certain level, and not the voice of the Spirit from his spirit wholeheartedly, according to the percentages he will be blessed with the Presence of God in his personal life and the resultant works of God and help from Him will be proportional to the percentage of obedience to the voice of his spirit and the soul's and body's subjection to it (1 Cor 14:30, 32-33).

When Jesus says, "therefore take heed how you hear," it means that we should realize the power of our choice to choose to hear the voice of self or the voice of the Spirit which will decide what kind of blessing of God we will experience now on earth and also that which will influence our reward and inheritance from God to lavish upon us for eternity ahead. God cannot be mocked, because according to the law of sowing and reaping that God has already set to rule in the spiritual realm and atmosphere of the spirit, only what we sow we will reap. If we sow to the flesh we will reap corruption, but if we sow to the Spirit by hearing his voice and obeying it constantly we will reap everlasting life of honor, glory and power forever and ever in Jesus name (Gal 6:7-8, 9-10; Jude 1:25; Rev 5:13; 7:12). Amen! 



Luke 11:33-36 — "33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lamp stand, that those who come in may see the light. 34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”"



In another context the same type of parable is explained by Jesus, and here in the above verses we see "No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket", which means a child of God after he or she is born through the spoken word of God which opens up a channel within him and brings in the atmosphere of the Kingdom of God to hear the voice of God from heaven (1 Peter 1:23), he is expected to put that soul with the stored Word of God [i.e. Logos] under the direction of the Spirit through his spirit within, which will transform the Word of God to become a continued light of good works of Jesus through his life so that they who are chosen by God to see the light of heaven may be able to see and receive it in their own lives which will causes treasures in heaven to be stored on the name of the believer for the Glory of God and tangible blessings of heaven will be felt over their lives on earth.

In other words, Jesus explains that there are two eyes within the life of a believer who is saved on earth by Him, one is the soulish bad eye driven by the fleshly desires of the body for instant gratification and satisfaction like a animal and identifies itself with the way others sees them from around, the other is the spiritual good eye which is able to see our own lives and others the way God sees us and values us by what he has done for us through Christ Jesus. When we look through the eye of the spirit within, the light of God will shine through our soul and our body. But when we start to look at our own lives through the eye of our soul independently apart from God by the influence of our soul controlled by the flesh, our whole body will experience darkness in forgetting the Presence of God and the consciousness of His indwelling Presence in our body which has been declared by God to be the temple of God (1 Cor 6:19; 2 Cor 6:16). Those who experience darkness will always tell that they have no need of anything from God anymore than what ever they have already, but those who are full of light will be desperate for more of the revelation of the light of the Word of God and the Power of the Spirit in their lives. So Jesus wants all believers to take heed to the voice of the Spirit from their spirit within, so that the so called light within the lives of believer may not be the soulish fleshly darkness of self.

Further Jesus wants the believers to have no part or compartment or department of their lives to be under the soulish fleshly influence which will bring them in to darkness and make their lives so ineffective for the Kingdom of God. He wants every believer to confess their sins as soon as possible to God and be with an humble repentant attitude of a child which is the most acceptable before God which makes them to shine the brightest to others around them for the glory of the Kingdom of God.

The bad eye of the soul without God will only bring darkness and more darkness to our body. The good eye of the spirit from within with God will only bring light and more light to our body.

The heavenly truth which Jesus has conveyed through this earthly parable of the lamp and the lamp stand is, whether we will be soul driven believers or spirit guided believer as we live on earth for the Glory of God. In fact, Jesus wants us to be Spirit led and spirit guided believers, so that we may shine the light of the revelation of the existence and works of Jesus through allowing his life to work out from within, the plans and purposes of our Father God in Heaven to the whole world around us which lives in darkness. Hence by seeing it, they themselves may be able to come to the light and receive it as much as possible, and glorify the Father in Heaven! Several context, but the one consistent message of the light, lamp and lamp stand has nearly been the same. So let us live a life worthy of the calling of Jesus and bring great glory to our Father God in Heaven! Glory to God! Amen.

Much Blessings...
