If this was like the plagues and diseases talked about in the Bible, everyone would know it. It would be worse than the influenza outbreak of 1918 or the plagues of the middle ages.
Yeah! I agree it would be soooooo obvious if this was some kind of plague in the Bible and even the Bible says they will be one right after another for the wicked only that do not want to obey His ways and Laws. Its all about worship of YHWH and keeping His commandments in LOVE back to Him! Its this disobedience that separates us from His love if we don't love Him back by following
Him daily. Its the wicked world that says they need no Law and make there own rules, then receive the plagues!!!
Speaking of what could separate us from His love, is your posting about Galatians! Yeah the letter to the Galatians by Paul is a great read but unfortunately by some on this forum, do it a great disservice because they take it out of context to what is ACTUALLY being said by Paul. There are many "things" Apostle Paul is addressing to the Galatians and all need to be read in there context! Correct? So we don't become "short circuited" and to become "of no effect" (I love that AboundingGrace!) to the truth in what Paul writes in context!
Your focus seems to be on Galatians 5:4 as you have posted twice about it in days apart in posts. I think this thread started by Morgan the OP would be a great place to discuss the Galatian letter by Paul as it fits nicely in what "Nothing can separate us from the love God" except by our own free will choices outside Yahuwah's will for our Christian lives. Right? So lets look at the context of
chapter 5 of the letter to the Galatians, shall we?
First of all you may be aware that there are some false accusers of Paul on this forum like Chuckk, HiddenMountain and perhaps Quiznos that claim Paul has made new commandments and or changed them. Wow, can you believe that!? Nothing could be further from the truth as we look at this letter as just one example! The starting first few verses of Paul's letter in chapter 5 is all about LEGALISM of the "false brethren, other Jews" (Gal 2:4,13) that have come into Paul's Galatia Church that he has established for his converts to adopted Israelites and or brethren. This LEGALISM teaching is none other than the circumcision Law that false brethren, other Jews were trying to put onto Paul's Galatia Church brethren converts, into LEGALISM bondage while Paul is away from them.
While Paul by no means was doing away with that Law, he was in affect calling it LEGALISM if false brethren, other Jews were saying its crucial to being adopted brethren in the fold and in the kingdom of Yahuwah. Its all about love and not forced Law but of course Law is always kept out of love to Him to be in Yahuwah's kingdom come judgment day. Not that salvation comes by the Law, NO NO but keeping the Law and not breaking it is the evidence of living a righteous life! Paul seems to be clear in chapter 5 by letter that if the Galatians were to think they were justified by the circumcision Law, then Christ death on the tree/pole for the sins of law breakers has become of none effect (short circuited) to them because they are claiming righteousness by faith in keeping that circumcision Law in order to be in the kingdom of Yahuwah. We know that Paul is CERTAINLY not doing away with ANY of the Law when reading the rest of chapter 5 because he lists a lot sins of the flesh that are common sense Laws (verses 19-21) and if believers break them, then they will not be in the kingdom of Yahuwah, period! Yicks! There is even "no laws" that need to be kept that are the fruit of the Yahuwah's set apart Holy Spirit found in verses 22-23 when people live in Yahuwah's set apart Holy Spirit! Is that an awesome gift or what?
**IS THE AMAZING DREADED CORONAVIRUS ONE OF THE THINGS MENTIONED IN GOD'S WORD THAT WILL TAKE PLACE JUST BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION**??
It is obvious that this worldwide plague is a message **FROM GOD**!!
The Olivet prophecies of Jesus are found in Matthew 24 and 25, Mark 13 and Luke 21. Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 tells us what will take place just before the Great Tribulation, what will take place during the 1260-day Great Tribulation and the second Coming of Jesus on the Last Day of the Great Tribulation. And then Matthew 25:31-46 tells about the judgment of the saved and lost just after the 2nd Coming of Jesus.
Matthew 24:4-8, Mark 13:5-8: and Luke 21:10,11 tells what will take place just before the Great tribulation, and in Luke 21:11 Jesus prophesied, "There will be great earthquakes, **FAMINES** and **PESTILENCES** in various places!"
The worst infectious epidemic in history was the Spanish Flu epidemic from January 1918 to December 1920 which infected over 400 million people and killed over 40 million people!
Dictionary definition of **PESTILENCE**: A **CONTAGIOUS OR INFECTIOUS EPIDEMIC DISEASE** that is virulent and **DEVASTATING**!!!
****WHICH IS A PERFECT DEFINTION OF THE ****CORONAVIRUS**An epidemic which could potentially turn into a horrifying global pandemic that kills millions of people!
However none of the plagues related to the End Times will hurt any of God's saints as shown by Revelation 9:4,20,21; 11:5; 16:2,5,6,7,9,11,21. God's wrath is mentioned 11 times in Revelation and every time God's wrath only hurt the unsaved.
Revelation 16:2,8,9" The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.... The 4th angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and the cursed the name of God, who **HAD CONTROL** over these plagues
Psalm 91:2-4: I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust. Surely He will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly **PESTILENCE**. He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart!!"
Exodus 12:13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. **NO DESTRUCTIVE PLAGUE WILL TOUCH YOU** when I strike Egypt!
The U.N. says years of war, poverty and drought have left more than 20 million people facing **FAMINE**. In search of relief, the hungry walk for miles, but without enough food to go around, vast stretches of Africa and the Middle East are now on the brink of **FAMINE**.
“We stand at a critical point in history,” says U.N. humanitarian chief Stephen O’Brien. “Already at the beginning of the year, we are facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the creation of the United Nations.” On Friday, O’Brien warned world leaders that without a relief effort, millions could die -- further destabilizing the region.
The **CORONAVIRUS** will also greatly decrease food production which will greatly increase **FAMINE** throughout the world.
CORONAVIRUS and **FAMINE** will cause many catastrophies and chaos throughout the world which will also cause many wars especially in the Middle East.
The world will be looking for a Savior and 666 and his False Prophet will fulfill the world's needs with many miracles..
Another amazing reason that the Great tribulation may be very close is that **POPE FRANCIS COMPLETELY QUALIFIES TO BE THE FUTURE FALSE PROPHET OF **666**
In this thread Richard7744 KEEPS posting this verse that he quotes incomplete (below verse) and everywhere in the forum threads! Why?
Richard7744 states this - Isaiah 9:6,7: "For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, **MIGHTY GOD** and Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's **THRONE** and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and **FOREVER**. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this!"
Then in this very thread here Richard7744 keeps posting this one verse version below! Scroll up and look in this thread for yourself!
AND in soooooo many other threads he constantly post the same incomplete Isaiah 9:6 verse!!! Why does he keep doing this???
Richard7744 states this - Isaiah 9:6: "For unto us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor and **MIGHTY GOD**!"
THERE IS NO translation that EVER leaves out the words "Everlasting/Eternal/Eternity Father" in any Bibles. Here is what exactly is said in the NIV that Richard7744 typically quotes from below! Note how Richard7744 leaves out "Everlasting Father" above TWICE in his supposed "quotes" of Isaiah 9:6 that are incomplete! He of course leaves off "Prince of Peace" also.
For Isaiah 9:6 REALLY says in the NIV - "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, >>>Everlasting Father,<<< Prince of Peace."
Other translations and witnesses below!
Isaiah 9:6 NASB "For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, MIGHTY GOD, >>>Eternal Father,<<< Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6 DRB "For a CHILD IS BORN to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, GOD THE MIGHTY, >>>the Father of the world to come,<<< the Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6 DBT "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, MIGHTY GOD, >>>Father of Eternity,<<< Prince of Peace."
Is it obvious that Richard7744 has left out of that verse a very important description of WHO Yah'usha the Messiah REALLY is???
Does Richard7744 dislike Isaiah and thinks he is not inspired??? Richard7744 thinks he needs to correct Isaiah's error he wrote? LOL! Dream on Richard7744!!! Why? Why? WHY does he keep doing this??? MANY times others months ago have called him out on this, yet he keeps posting the SAME old incomplete verse!?
There IS an obvious agenda Richard7744 has in his purpose in leaving out that Yah'shua the Messiah is ALSO the Everlasting Father NOW in the flesh! I would guess that the reason is like LittleDavid has always said, that Richard7744 does not believe by the Scriptures that Yah'shua the Messiah and Yahuwah the Father are equal! Richard7744 has always said in the past that they are not equal. Not sure if LittleDavid even believes that not only are they equal but that they are one in the same from the beginning!? Yet that is exactly what they are, found in John 1:1,2 and 14, as well as the supporting verse in Isaiah 9:6 that Yah'shua the Messiah is ALSO the "Everlasting Father" Himself that the Father put His very own WORD in the flesh!
Its also interesting now in this very thread that Richard7744 claims, quote - "There are some who completely ignore these Scriptures and claim that Jesus is not God because he said that the Father is greater than me in John 14:28 and that the Father told Him what to say as per John 14:23,24" end quote.... and seems to imply NOW that they are equal??? Has he changed his mind, yet he STILL does not quote Isaiah 9:6 accurately!!! Why? I know better than to ask Richard7744 because he will not answer back, except more copy and paste of the same old Scripture, while changing the CONTEXT meaning of Isaiah 9:6! Wow! Would not want to be in Richard's shoes come judgment day, removing words from Bible verses!!!
