Hello everyone. I hope everyone is having a good day and staying positive.
During the 10 plagues in Exodus, the Israelites examined each and every plague and the elders would sit and teach them about what God was trying to teach through each in every plague. For the short understanding, why would an all Powerful God need 10 plagues to get the job done if He could do it in one shoot? Therefore there is great meaning to be discovered behind each "step". God is "measure for measure", meaning He gives us exactly what we want. If we desire to draw close Him, He will surely open the gates and if we want to gain power, He will also give it to us (so that we will fall and learn). Therefore, each plague is to teach us something.
Now, forget all the media, news, medicines etc, for we are told to fear God and nothing else, not even men. The Satan or Evil Inclination seeks like a Lion to devour our attention and our focus, when right now is the most critical time to study and learn God's ways, especially through this plague.
(Psalm 91:5-7 "You shall not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that walks in gloom, nor the destroyer who lays waste at noon. A thousand may fall victim at your side and a myriad at your right hand, but to you it shall not approach...)
So what is God doing?
Does a human father ever give a time out to the wrong child? Therefore God has made chosen all of us to have a "time out". A time out to reflect on our misdeeds, especially on how we tend to slander others behind their backs, that our speech is not holy but secular, that our eyes are gazing at things they should not and that we are quick to judge each other when we come together. If this were not so, then the plague would not cause for isolation and quarantine, it might be a flesh-eating plague for our limbs if we were abusive or something, or something else. But for now, this plague is symbolizing that we must reflect on our relationship with one another and how valuable we are to each other (all people).
Please take this time out seriously, but also have no fear but in God who loves you and will protect you as long as you follow His ways and His commands! Speak positively, dress modestly as Paul calls out, respect one another, make amends when you do wrong, give charity with a kind heart, motivate one another, don't make idols of medicine or money or toliet paper, for if God desire for you to be ill, do you think anything could stop Him? Only your prayers and righteousness and faith in His Son Jesus.
I will continue to pray for everyone and continue to reflect on myself, to become a better person! May God Bless you All!

Yep one of my sons lives in Montgomery county and their wiping out all the meats,paper ect. at the stores. I was in Brazoria county until March 2 and right after I left is when their first cases popped up. There was just the cases in Lackland AFB then and so now it's the 22'nd and over 600 cases.
There's patterns online for mask(cloth type like Dr's use)... I had cancer in the past and after radiation and chemo have no lymph nodes and am immune compromised. We(me and my wife) do basically the same as we have done for years when shopping we take 1/3 cup(5 US TBS) in a gallon of h20. We put it in a plastic bucket and toss in a couple of wash rags then leave it on the counter.
When you stick you hands into it to get the rag put both hands in it and squeeze out the rag(just killed the germs on your hands). We take the wash rags and wipe down the things we touch at home but we also use them when shopping.
We put them in a sandwich bag and take it and paper towels squeezed out in the bleach water and use them on the shopping cart handles(get the ones in the bins in the parking lot and clean it with the paper towel you brought) I always park by the place where you put up the shopping carts(cart place to font door to trunk and to shopping cart bin is a straight line,lol)...
We use the paper towels on the gas nozzles and money(change) before we put it in our wallets. We use the wash rags for our hands,steering wheel doorknob(car)ect. When we get home we take the groceries in the trunk and take everything as were unpacking it and wipe down each can,package,box ect. as it goes into the house and discard the plastic bags in dumpster.
If you take the same pattern for a surgical mask and make two and sew them together but not the top then you have a pouch you can fold up a paper napkin and put it into it and have a disposable filter built in. When you get home from town take the filter out and throw it away. We take the surgical mask(homemade) and put them in the Clorox/h2o to kill the germs and wash them in the washing machine. We take the bucket of Clorox/h20 and leave it on the porch so it's there when we get home from town.
To me 1/3 cup of bleach to a gallon seems like a lot(and it is,lol) at times I have used as little as 1 tbl/sp but on the CDC site it says 1/3 cup=5 tbl spoons for Covid-19. If you keep wringing out the rags and putting your hands in it that strong it will begin to dry out your hands and irritate them. So We only use this when going to town where we interact with people other than that just soap at home and corn-huskers lotion(so be careful with the bleach,lol).
I bet what I'm saying seems a bit overboard but several years ago doctors explained to me that if I caught the seasonable flu it could kill me(viral pneumonia) and so as it seems many of us are now faced with the same danger and so I thought I should share some things I have learned about how I have evaded it.
There are other things I also had to learn such as allergies in Texas(pollen from pine trees turns you car yellow so you cant see out the windshield unless you wash the car everyday,lol) but Flu and allergies have don't have the same symptoms or treatments.

Did you know most prophecy cannot predict the future? So why should we? Prophecy confirms the miracle after its fulfillment connects the dots? Forecasting the future is borderline false prophecy if not false prophecy.
Now, it is contrary to the nature and genius of prophecy to reveal the future as detailed history. In all prophecy there is an element of obscurity and perhaps even of ambiguity. The Lord had distinctly said that He would speak to the prophets in a manner less clear and direct than that in which He would speak to Moses His Servant (Num. 12:1–8). With the prophets He would speak in dreams and visions and—so it would seem—in dark and enigmatic sayings. In revelations which were given as visions, therefore, we should expect an abundance of imagery and symbolism. There are many instances of such revelation in the prophetical books (e. g., Isa. 24–27; Joel 3:9–17; Zech. 14; Ps. 2; Amos 7–9).

I've always used mitochondria and telomeres in my debates against evolutionist and evolution , why death .. Fulford mentions life extension in part 1 briefly
When I heard this I thought of end time scripture stating men would seek death and not find it .. Again take this with a grain of salt , I do .. I've had visions of both heaven and hell and I have no desire to live in the flesh longer than Jesus appointed me ..
