It is March 20, 2020. The Chinese originated Wuhan Coronavirus COVID-19 has engulfed the world. Borders are being shut down. Travel is being minimized. People are dying. Old men with type A blood apparently constitute the highest risk group. Infections are increasing exponentially in countries across the world, while we await a vaccine.
China did not tell the world what was happening, until some of their doctors “illegally” tried to warn us. A sample was sent to Singapore, the DNA was sequenced, then the results, without Chinese approval, were released to the world. With this genome, the USA CDC was able to develop the first test kit for viral particles, hence evidence of active infection. Once a person is cured, with two sequential negative viral tests, he or she is considered immune and “home free.” About 85,000 such people now exist worldwide, about 100 here in the USA. No antibody test to find out how many other people are “immune” is yet available.
The outcome of this plague is yet to unfold, but this writer sees a resemblance to the story in the Bible of the Tower of Babel. Nimrod is described in Genesis 10:8-12 as a “first on earth to be a mighty man,” and a “mighty hunter before the Lord.” His historicity is in question, but he resembles the Mesopotamian epic hero Gilgamesh. As we all remember, he tried to build a structure to reach into the Heavens, but God disapproved, caused the workers to speak different languages, and dispersed them to many lands, where their offspring still exist.
I mention this peculiar story because I never understood it. Why would God care how many languages were spoken? Why would God want many countries, each with a different language, rather than one? Instead of trying to understand this strange story, people elected rather to call it a fable, along with Adam and Eve and Noah’s ark.
Now we have a confluence of events. Today we have intellectual elites, with high IQ’s, who believe they are better able to rule the world, rather than leaving it up to the vote of unwashed multitudes. It is hard to argue with their logic. One world government, hence world peace, and equality and justice for all. Utopia, indeed. If only it worked. And today we have the Illuminati philosopher kings attempting to bring together China, Islam, Europe, Africa, and the Americas into a One World Order, through the United Nations. Pesky Russia seems to be no longer playing ball, much to the disgust of the elites, and when Donald Trump was elected, he proved to be another thorn in the side of the NWO (New World Order), its branch in the United States being called “the Deep State,” or “globalists.” They are centered in the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations). The globalist elite timetable has been repeatedly disrupted by one event or another, so their goal is yet unrealized.
Enter the “CORONAVIRUS.” Is this God’s second “Tower of Babel.” Is God again disrupting world trade, travel, and open borders? Certainly, that is the effect the virus is having, and its effects will continue on, unabated, until a vaccine is developed in a year or so. Since infections seem to be doubling every four days in most places, it won’t take long to reach into the billions in infections, possibly before a vaccine is distributed. And when it is all over, some basic questions will be asked. Is trade with the lying dishonest Communist China justified, or even safe? Are open borders wise? Is free trade going to help the common man, or only give the elite more ways to help their profit line?
By the way, how did the animals reach Noah’s ark, you may ask? Well, you have an ark on top of the highest mountain, and the waters are rising. Where are the animals going to go? To the highest point. Where are the birds going to roost? On the only visible structure in a vast sea.
Since this blog is dedicated to truth, I must admit to you that I do not know if Nimrod or Noah actually existed, and I do not pretend to know the “mind of God.” Some of you, desiring truth, may not believe in God because you have not seen Him. I suspect you do believe in atoms, molecules, wind, magnetism, love, hate, fear, and love, all invisible to the naked eye. Oh, you say, but we can measure these, or see them with an electron microscope, we have “evidence.” And I say, “Well, I have evidence of God (discussed elsewhere in these blogs.) Also, God has been seen, as a burning bush, column of smoke, column of fire, Jesus, and visions by many. Sometimes the peculiarity of Biblical stories gives evidence of tales so strange the human mind would not concoct them, like God wanting to separate people by languages, or talking snakes, or a tree of the knowledge of good and evil, or a donkey who sees an angel before its rider does, jumps, and breaks the rider’s foot in the narrow passageway. What’s the saying? “Fact is stranger than fiction?”
I wish you good health in this current epidemic.
