 Is this pandemic part of the warning Jesus spoke about in Luke 21? |
Dean Steenburgh |
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.

All that is possible, however it is yet to be seen if this is a plague of that proportion. I hope I am right that the world is over reacting, but I am not an authority and certainly do not claim divine guidance in that area.

Agreed!
IF Dean is correct and COVID-19 is it, does that mean the Tribulation has started?
Pre-Tribbers, now is your time!!!
