Witness To An Apocalypse: Pandemic Set to Ruin Economy

Over the past two weeks I have been an eyewitness to an apocalypse which threatens to destroy economies around the world. The pandemic has ravaged countries leaving panic and anxiety in its wake. Fights over toilet paper and other basic necessities have ensued in many places. We are now being told that we need to "stay home" and not work. For many who can go online and work, this is crazy. It won't stick, but for some functions and many small businesses this dictator like order will.

I have been unemployed and underemployed for the past eight years. This shutdown of non-essential businesses has make it even more difficult for me and others like me. It almost seems as if the "powers that be" are really pushing for electronic currency. They want to get rid of physical currency because they can't control it. This pandemic and the economic crash will be the perfect opportunity to roll this out. Everyone will be forced to accept this electronic currency or forfeit life sustaining food and shelter.

I have to keep telling myself that this won't happen. Yet I see it with my own eyes. I see all the disenfranchised being ignored and pushed to the side. My heart aches and I feel helpless. I wonder why the Lord is allowing this to happen. It just doesn't seem right or fair.

I started another blog to chronicle my thoughts during this pandemic called "In The Midst of A Storm". It has helped me to focus on what the Lord says in his word. We are in a fight right now to preserve the rights of the disenfranchised. They deserve a voice, especially those who aren't as savvy with technology as the rest of us. As I witness this apocalypse I wonder what the world will be like when the pandemic dies down. Will we even recognize it?

There are forces that are tearing this country apart. They are trying to blame the Christians for this. They tell us that church is bad. They want us to fall and reject the Lord. They don't know us. They definitely don't understand the Christian bedrock of this country. They stir up trouble, but don't understand the consequences.

Sometimes I do think that maybe God allowed this pandemic to eradicate those who have blatantly defied him. I can't help thinking about the plaques that God sent Egypt.
