IS IT ONLY A MATTER OF TIME???
The Covid-19 Plague has made all of us painfully aware of our vulnerability. One moment we are healthy and feel like we have a lifetime of living ahead of us.
Our doctor tells us we’re as “healthy as a horse , we should see many more years.” We leave his office thinking what a wonderful world this is!
Then, just a short few days later, we come face to face with a life and death struggle that may quickly end our life on this earth.
It’s the same with our finances. One day we may be able to purchase any or many of the things we want. Then, just a few weeks later, we are standing in a line desperately needing someone to provide our family
with a box of food so we can survive. Though some of us may have erroneous-
ly thought we were quite well off, we have learned the bitter truth first-hand how quickly everything can change!
The truth is, even if we had a gold coin, it probably wouldn’t be enough to buy even one roll of toilet paper, much less a bottle of hand sanitizer at Walmart. So much for the much touted gold to be our hedge for the hard times.
And, when “push comes to shove,” we realize there is something far more important than our finances. Our very lives are on the line.
The Covid-19 Plague is “no respecter of persons.” Black or white, rich Black or white, rich or poor, famous or infamous, educated or
illiterate, living in a mansion or a prison— this Plague knows absolutely no boundaries.
But, there is something of far greater sig- nificance than any of the areas we have men- tioned: our soul... eternity... the forever!
Since we do not know if our tombstone was on that load that rolled into our town last night, it is imperative we take every pre- caution spiritually.
We must not neglect to examine where we stand, not in our community or financially, but spiritually!
Jesus said, “What good would is to gain the whole world and lose our soul?”
That’s a good question. Do you have the answer?
COVID- 19 PLAGUE FROM GOD, THE DEVIL OR ???
Due to the secrecy and cover up of the Chinese Com- munist Party, who have made slaves of the Chinese people, we are still groping in the dark concerning the Covid-19 Plague’s real origin.
As the people of the world are caught in the virus’ deadly grip, there are several questions that are swirling around us.
Was the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) telling us the whole truth and nothing but the truth, when they insist- ed that Covid-19 started as a transmission from a bat to a human?
Most of the nations of the world are dubious concerning their lame explanations of what happened thereafter. Espe- cially when they are hiding everything and everyone con- nected with the virus.
Or, could the virus be linked to bio-warfare that the CCP scientists were covertly developing in Wuhan? If so, we have a followup question.
Was it an accidental release or did the gangster govern- ment in China purposely unleash Covid-19 on the world? Was all this mayhem and carnage that is destroying lives and crippling national economies a planned attack on the peoples of the world?
Or, some are even wondering if the devil himself is the evil mastermind behind the Covid-19 Plague. Could this be a dastardly, diabolical, plan that was hatched in the depths of hell to thrust millions of people in the world into untold misery and death?
Or, on the other hand, has the Covid-19 Plague actually been sent by God to earth to bring judgment on all man- kind?
Or, is it possible that God is not the author of this virus at all, but is still using this plague to bring judgment on the human race as well as to accelerate mankind into the last days and the ominous events foretold in the Book of Revela- tion?
Regardless of the answers to these questions, there is still a question of even greater significance that we need the answer to.
Is it possible that God is using this Covid-19 Plague in 2020 to forward His final agenda on the earth?
The famous words that communists and much of the left in the U.S. like to quote is, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
Is God Almighty Himself making sure... that this crisis doesn’t go to waste?
THE REAL TRUTH.. From Page ?
Perhaps our jealousy was heightened, by the usage we received in Virginia, under the regal government, when mobs, fines, bonds and prisons were our frequent repast [Past persecution by the former Episcopal state church in VA].
Convinced, on the one hand, that without an effective National Govern- ment, the States would fall into disunion and all the consequent evils; and
on the other hand, fearing that we should be necessary to some religious oppression, should any one society in the Union preponderate over the rest; yet amidst all these inequietudes of mind, our consolation arose from this consideration,--the plan must be good, for it has the signature of a tried, trusty friend, and if religious liberty is rather insecure in the Constitution. ‘the administration will certainly prevent all oppression, for a Washington will preside.’
According to our wishes, the unanimous voice of the Union has called you, sir, from your beloved retreat, to launch forth again into the faithless seas of human affairs, to guide the helm of the States. May that Divine munificence, which covered your head in battle, make you a yet greater blessing to your admiring country in time of peace.
Should the horrid evils that have been so pestiferous in Asia and Europe: faction, ambition, war, perfidy, fraud, and persecution for conscience sake, ever approach the borders of our happy nation, may the name and adminis- tration of our beloved President, like the radiant source of day, scatter all those dark clouds from the American hemisphere.”
THE CONFIDENCE OF BAPTISTS IN WASHINGTON,
ALONG WITH THEIR PRAYERS FOR HIS HEALTH AND SUCCESS AS
PRESIDENT
“And while we speak freely the language of our hearts, we are satisfied that we express the sentiments of our brethren, whom we represent. The very name of Washington is music to our ears; and although the great evil in the States
is the want of mutual confidence between rulers and people, yet we have the utmost confidence in the President of the States; and it is our fervent prayer
to Almighty God, that the federal government , and the governments of the respective States, without rivalship, may so co-operate together, as to make the numerous people over whom you preside, the happiest nation on earth, and you, sir; the happiest man, in seeing the people, whom; by the smiles of Prov- idence, you saved from vassalage by your valor, and made wise by your max- ims, sitting securely under their vines and fig-trees, enjoying the perfections of human felicity.
May God long preserve your life and health for a blessing to the world in general, and the United States in particular; and when, like the sun, you have finished your course of great and unparalleled services and go the way of all the earth, may the Divine Being who will reward every man according to
his works, grant unto you a glorious admission into his everlasting kingdom, through Jesus Christ. This, sir is the prayer of your happy admirers.”
