Alright, here is some good news, at least for a vast majority of people, amid all the doom, gloom, and death being spread about by the secular and social media concerning the Corona virus “pandemic.”
The Son of Man, Jesus Christ, is not about to return soon, to judge the living and the dead.
Isn’t that great!?
And how do I know this?
“Marrying and given in marriage.”
Well, the Bible makes it clear that, “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.
“For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, they were marrying and given in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark,
“and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be” (Matt. 24:37-39).
You see, right now, all the world has to deal with is this gnarly virus that has pretty much upended everyone’s lives.
Most people are not doing a whole lot of eating and drinking, because a small minority has decided to selfishly hoard much of the everyday necessities and food supplies, whereby the majority is having a hard time surviving, which would include many of the elderly.
But, who cares about the elderly anyway?
Their lives are just about over. So, let them starve to death and die in their human waste.
What really matters is that the narcissist gets what he or she richly deserves.
Also, Jesus pointed out that there would be a whole lot of marrying taking place, which there probably is not much of going on right now.
Again, with everyone in a Mysophobic fit—the fear of contamination or germs (germophobia)—over COVID-19, there just is not time, nor space available, for anyone to even think about getting married.
In fact, with a growing list of mayors and governors acting more like tyrannical dictators these days, as they are busily creating and laying down the law concerning where and how many people can meet, eat, and greet, it may be a while before the exchange of nuptials recommences.
Lastly, though, is the understanding or realization of what is going on, once the calamities preceding Jesus’ return start to unfold.
Right now, a vast throng of the human population is only concerned about where their next meal is coming from, if not where their 401-(k)s went.
They could not care less about what they would consider religious chatter or gibberish about God’s judgment upon them or the world, which is laid out quite vividly in the Bible and especially in the Book of Revelation.
What they want is their version of normalcy to return; where lying, cheating, and stealing—sprinkled with a dash of human kindness thrown in, just to make them feel good about themselves—are acceptable, “so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.”
Where laughter is enjoyed at the expense of some religious guy building a humongous edifice in honor and respect of some “God” who, he said, told him to do it, if he wanted to survive a cataclysmic calamity so intense that to even fathom it would be beyond human comprehension and experience.
Human feelings and “science,” after all, are all that anyone needs to know the truth about yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Since, therefore, the present world is in a stoked sense of panic over the Corona virus, and there has been a drastic upheaval over eating and drinking, and the exchanging of vows associated with marriage have been stilted, there is no need to be concerned that Jesus’ return is imminent or that judgment is about to fall.
Judgment is coming like a flood.
Just remember, though, that it is when everything seems so “normal,” when “bread and the circuses” are rife, and love is in air, it is the time to pause and understand who and what is on the horizon.
For it will be at that time that the Son of Man will come, at an hour when you least expect, and you need to be ready (Matt. 24:44).
