What's Happening Mr. Jones?

It seems to me that there is more to this corona virus response than just trying to keep people healthy, and slow the spread of the illness.  I have my doubts about the seriousness of the illness, and the potential to cause death. Yes, of course there are high risk people, as with most illnesses. Out of all the billions of people in the world including our nation of course, the percentage of deaths from this illness is really quite low. The overwhelming majority of people contracting the illness recover in about five days. These statements are backed up by stats from the John Hopkins Corona Virus Research Center as of March 29, 2020.

So why isn't the media, the President's task force, and other "experts" and outlets publishing these encouraging realities? I think there is something more sinister than an illness happening in our time.  What we see is a coordinating of the private sector of business and government. We have state and federal government enforcing certain behaviors they deem as appropriate, beneficial, and safe. We hear words and phrases that encourage us to comply for everyone's good, we can all do our part,  for the good of the nation and the world.  But if not, as in Chicago, we face legal charges and possibly arrest.

What's also remarkable is that in all the world, it is the same emphasis. In a world with diverse cultures, individual national identities, each with their own traditions and customs, we all are bringing ourselves under the same behaviors for the same reason, toward a single goal. Via the internet and other forms of worldwide communications, we all hear and are prescribed the same message, and we all act accordingly.  I'm generalizing because there are nations that are exceptions, but this applies to many.

The bible declares to us that a time will come when all humanity will be unified under a single system of government, led by one man or perhaps one single coalition. We commonly refer to that as the Antichrist. Globalists in our nation along with others around the world have long desired a worldwide interdependent community of nations. They have attempted to bring this about but have never been able to bring it to reality. In our technological age they now have the means to do it. Perhaps this "crisis" is the tool they can use to bring a certain conformity to the population of this country but also of other countries. It certainly seems to have us all going in the same direction.

I'm not saying the antichrist will appear in all of this. But it certainly looks like a "practice run."  That is, in this time of fear and anxiety and the response we are being told to have, under government pressure, we can certainly see the mechanisms that could be used to coerce entire nations to comply to a single vision or system.

Now is the time for people to take a serious look into world realities, the condition of the christian church, and the priorities within our own hearts and lives.  A christian lady who is a co worker of mine said that in the light of the statements from John Hopkins I mentioned earlier, that she felt like Noah watching the waters recede from inside the ark. I on the other hand, feel like John the Apostle in the book of Revelation who on the beach saw a beast rising from the sea, being empowered by the dragon.  Just a thought.
