COVID-19 and the connection to Revelations
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over a fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:8) There are some believers who say we are currently living through the Book of Revelation; there are others who say the events in Revelation are still future. I am one who believes we are still awaiting for the Prophecies of the book of revelation to be fulfilled in future times. When the Pale horse and its rider are released, it will culminate with sickness and disease on a global scale. We know the judgements revolve around sickness and disease , because of the color of horse that is ridden and specifically, its rider which name is Death. When we see or hear the word “Pale”, we tend to think of something or someone who lacks color due to some form of sickness or disease. The background or etymology of the word (pale) is defined as such : early 14c., of human skin or complexion, “of a whitish appearance, bloodless,pallid,” from Old French paile “pale, light-colored” The underlining text of the New Testament is Greek. The Greek word used here in Revelation 6:8 for Pale is Khlo-ros according Strong’s Concordance5515; it is defined as pale or green. To be pale can result from the lack of sunlight. But in the reference used here in the book of Revelation and it’s conjunction with “death” , it is to emphasized that this color (pale or green) is due to some form of sickness or disease. Jesus stated that before the end of the world, we would see an increase of wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines and pestilences. “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall befamines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places. (Matthew 24:7) The key word here is Pestilences; it is defined as a deadly or virulentepidemic disease. The fact that the word is pluralized should be startling. What Jesus is saying here, is that there will be a rise in infectiousdiseases in various places around the world simultaneously. From the time Jesus made these predictions two thousand years ago unto today, there has been an influx of infectious diseases over time. So many that it is hard to keep up with the numbers. The main thing to remember here is what Jesus specifically said. “These are the beginning of sorrows”. Sorrows has a tendency of increasing with frequency and magnitude (effectiveness) over a period of time. Much like a woman who is giving birth and her contractions are increasing with magnitude and frequency as the baby is ready to breach the birth canal. Let me also point out How the rider of the pale horse is also given a sword to destroy a fourth of mankind. If we have a combination of pestilence and a sword, the only other explanation would be the weaponization of sickness and disease. In other words,…
