Luke 21:11 cautions us that there will be ‘pestilences in various places & fearful events’ in the final days. While we don’t know if the ‘pestilences’ Jesus mentions refers directly to COVID-19, is it a warning?
Most will admit it is definitely ‘fearful!’
Revelation 6:5-8 says that in the final days, the world will be rocked by subsequent famines & plagues.
In the U.S., (as of yesterday, Friday 3/13) the cases of Coronavirus in 47 states have crossed 1600 infections & the death toll has risen to over 40 with an even larger impact globally. Around the world, there are over 137,445 cases & over 5,000 deaths from the virus affecting over 118 countries.
The word pestilence comes from the Greek word “loymos” which means plague, a fatal epidemic disease.
There are many who believe that the pestilences that Jesus spoke about will be fulfilled in the first 3 1/2 years of the seven-year tribulation period that follows the rapture.

We decided on a Thursday night to have church. Encouraging our older folks to think about staying home. Keep 6’ Social a Distance. Tonight, Saturday, most of my folks are either sick, hopefully other stuff, or stressed from TV coverage. So I might have some one to preach to as I go out on FB Live, if they even works.
Not that technically skilled yet, if you can teach me in one hour, I’m game. YouTube live wants 1,000 followers. I just looked at Life churces thing, but its just a link setup. I dont have a webcam to go through the computer, or intnet in the church. So my Iphone on VZW with unlimted internet, and it is my easiest bet.
Three days ago I was reading Matthew 19:11-12 and it confused me as what the verse is talking about, can someone please explain to me what the verse means and it’s context?
But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save t…

327 million is a LARGE mission field
WHICH will not be reached if someone dies of coronavirus BECAUSE they went to church Its a bad dilemma to deal with right now today
