The Plague that Walks in Darkness


“I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and will not forsake them... Hear, ye deaf: and look, ye blind, that ye may see (Isaiah 42:16-18).”

God’s people will not see God’s purpose for the Covid-19 outbreak, until they hear and know what God has planned for end times. The covenant message has uncovered the truth about it. This message is filled with important information that comes directly out of the mouth of God, for it came straight from the mouth’s of his ancient prophets. People who study the message will have the spiritual eyes of their understanding opened, and they will see; because when the interpretations of prophecy are right, then the scriptures flood believers with an enormous amount of evidence.

“And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness (Isaiah 29:18).”

“ O SING unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. The Lord hath made known his salvation... he hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel... make a joyful noise before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity ( from Psalm 98).”

In order to prepare God’s people for end times, the Lord’s covenant message was delivered before the dreaded day of his wrath came upon the earth. It meticulously took the time to thoroughly prove, with evidence, that our God created all of the religions that came forth from the seed of faithful Abraham: Islam, Judaism, and Christianity: and God was pleased in them. The covenant message has also proven, with evidence, that prophecy was altogether written for one purpose alone: it seeks to advertise the truth of the great day of the Lord, a day wherein God will be doing a marvelous work on earth, a work which will unite all three of these religious powers together, as one. The glorious day of our Lord is prophesied by such names, as, That day; The great day of the Lord; The day of God’s wrath; and, The time of the end. Rejoice, for that glorious day of our Lord is at hand, and it is a time wherein God will be fulfilling all of the end time promises that he gave to our forefathers. The ultimate goal of the covenant message is to convince God’s people ahead of that day, to forsake all of their highly regarded religious practices, as well as their unchangeable religious laws, in order to come before the Lord, and learn the one new way in which our God will have us worship him, from henceforth, and forevermore. Let’s visit a few verses which provide evidence of these things: 

“Have we not all one father? Hath not God created us? (Malachi 2:10).” “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him (Colossians 1:16).”

“In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people... and FOR STRENGTH TO THEM THAT TURN THE BATTLE TO THE GATE. But... the priest and the prophet have erred... They are out of the way... they err in vision, they stumble in judgment... Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept; line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear (Isaiah 28:5-12).” 

“Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes (Deuteronomy 12:8).” 

“Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest: but in the place which the Lord shall choose (Deuteronomy 12:13-14).”

“Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it (Isaiah 45:8).”

“For this city hath been to me as a provocation in mine anger... Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah... they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction (Jeremiah 32: 31-33).” “I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more (Ezekiel 21:27).” 

God will overturn every mistaken philosophy, of every person, in every religion. This conquest is so enormous, that, in order to make certain that his desire is accomplished, God will be executing some terrible signs and wonders. These signs and wonders are for his glory: they will supply even non-believers with powerful evidence that God’s wrath is upon the earth, so that many of them will begin to fear God. God is cleaning up his house, and causing his people to come out of their fraudulent interpretations of his word. As the world witnesses the existence of God, surely they will come to accept the news that God has given his people a new covenant: because according to the prophecies of God’s word, That day, and the new covenant, are inseparable. The purpose of the new covenant is to defeat death. “Death is swallowed up in victory (1Corinthians 15:54).”

“It shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people... And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth (Isaiah 11:11-12).”

“And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one (Zechariah 14:9).”

“And I give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me (Jeremiah 32:39-40).” 

Individual interpretations of each prophetic scripture verse, are provable. In other words, for every prophecy of scripture, God’s word provides a little evidence which verifies its true interpretation: but these things are hidden in God’s word, and they must be sought out. The following are some verses of evidence which prove that at the time of the end God’s people will receive a new covenant: 

“Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David... Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon (Isaiah 55:3; 55:7).” 

“I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: and I will purge out the rebels, and them that transgress against me... For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits of  your oblations, with all your holy things... and I will accept you with your sweet savor, when I bring you out from the people... And there ye shall remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall loath yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye committed (Ezekiel 20:37-43).”

“Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee (Exodus 34:10).”

“In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away (Hebrews 8:13).”

Most of the book of Deuteronomy is an old covenant. As with all of scripture, this ancient covenant came straight from mouth of God, therefore, it is God’s voice. In the old covenant God repeatedly commands his people to obey his voice, adding that he is a jealous God. The old covenant confirms that one day God will send a curse upon his own people. Let it comfort your hearts to know that this curse will only be afflicting those persons who have broken God’s covenant, and who have not obeyed God’s voice. The old covenant also supplies evidence that if God’s people will humble themselves and pray and turn from their ways, to go in the way in which the Lord our God tells us to go, then God will put the curses upon their enemies. Let’s look at the evidence of this within the covenant, as well as within a few other verses that assist in creating understanding; but first, let’s see the proof that this book is indeed a covenant, an ancient covenant. 

“Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God... that thou shouldest enter into covenant with the Lord thy God, and into his oath, which the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day... Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; but with him that standeth here with us this day before the Lord our God, an also with him that is not here with us this day (Deuteronomy 29:10-15).” 

“Thou shalt have none other gods before me.... Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity... of them that hate me. And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments (Deuteronomy 5:7-10).”

“Lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name (Jeremiah 25:29).” “For they are a very froward generation, children in whom there is no faith. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; and they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; and I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation (Deuteronomy 32:20-21).”

“Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of his covenant, which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God: That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers (Jeremiah 11:3-5).”

“It shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these CURSES shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: CURSED shalt thou be in the city, and CURSED shalt thou be in the field. CURSED shall be the basket of thy store. CURSED shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. CURSED shalt thou be when thou comest in, and CURSED shalt thou be when thou goest out,  The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke... because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby THOU HAST FORSAKEN ME (Deuteronomy 28:15-20).”

“When all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I  have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind, ...and shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; that then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations... and the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecute thee... But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land... I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live (from Deuteronomy 30:1-19).”

“The earth is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. THEREFORE HATH THE CURSE DEVOURED THE EARTH (Isaiah 24:5-6).”

The old covenant contains a discrete message which provides evidence suggesting what end times shall look like. This evidence is beneficial for all believers, but especially for people of the Jewish faith, because their knowledge of end times is limited. Here is the evidence:   

“Hast God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God; there is none else beside him. Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee (Deuteronomy 4:34-36).”

The covenant message was prophesied to come to God’s people through the voice of a woman. Since God’s word cannot be broken, God spiritually blinded the hearts and minds of the priesthood until the day that the covenant message was complete. The message was completed a couple of years ago, therefore their eyes are open. End times are prophesied to be confusing time, which is why God sent many warnings to the priesthood. An example of this is that priests are not to leave or forsake their own congregation during these times. They will need to pray, and study, and they will need to put their trust in God’s mercy. God especially wanted the priesthood to fear before him, for then, and only then, would they have respect for his word. Priests acquire a fear of God by spending time in his word, and if they are not doing that, how can they know God’s voice? If they have no fear of God because they have not taken his word seriously, then they will be deceiving people, and promoting confusion during these times. Their mistake will allow the curse to come upon God’s people, as well as upon the priest himself. God will remember their ways, and the ones that cannot hear God, will not go unpunished. All of the curses which are written in the book of the law will be poured out upon them, according to their sins, and God will not repent. 

“Is not destruction to the wicked? And a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity (Job 31:3)?”

“For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it (Jeremiah 4:28).”

“Woe to the idle shepherd that leaveth the flock (Zechariah 11:17).” 

“Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way, and... Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them (Deuteronomy 27:18; 27:26).” 

“The sinners of Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites (Isaiah 33:14).” 

“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert...to give drink to my people, my chosen... But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel... I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins... Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have GIVEN JACOB TO THE CURSE, and Israel to reproaches (from Isaiah 43:19-28).”

“The Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man (Jeremiah 31:22).”

“And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I HAVE CURSED THEM ALREADY, because ye do not lay it to heart (Malachi 2:1-2).”

“Keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do (Deuteronomy 29:9).” “Lest there should be any among you... whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God... And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart... The Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, And the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven (Deuteronomy 29:18-20).”

“The Lord is with you, while you be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you (2Chronicles 15:2).”

Do not be deceived by any of the end time reports: study prophecy for yourself. One question people might ask, is: How do we know which book of the law that Lord God wants his people to read? The answer is: the Holy Bible. The Bible is essential because it contains the truth about Jesus Christ and about the Holy Spirit who lives inside of the people who accept and trust that his doctrine came forth from God. The Bible confirms that Jesus is our great High Priest, forever (Hebrews 3:1); And it declares that Jesus is the only mediator between God and man (1Timothy 2:5). Jesus Christ came to die for the mistakes of God’s people. His death was a requirement of God: it fulfilled some of the prophesies of scriptures, but just as important, his blood was the sacrifice that God gave to establish every covenant that he ever made with our fathers. Because of Jesus’ obedience, even to death, God fashioned our new covenant in such a way as to insure that all believers everywhere would accept and know Jesus’ doctrine. The words of our new covenant come from the teachings of Jesus: “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me (Matthew 11:29).” This is a betrothal covenant, and it is a vow to learn of Jesus. As believers keep that vow, and they study the scriptures, and learn about Jesus, the Holy Spirt will come upon them and their soul will be united together with the Father. God wants this new covenant to be lifted up before the eyes of the people, because it is the key to their salvation.

“I am the Lord thy God... The Lord of hosts is his name (Isaiah 51:15).” “At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands (Isaiah 17:7).” “And they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son (Zechariah 12:10).” “And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one (Zechariah 14:9).”

“Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face wax pale. But when seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel (Isaiah 29:22-23).”

“In that day... I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. And I will betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord (Hosea 2:19-20).”

Eventually the work of the Lord will be finished, and his people will rejoice in what God has accomplished, but until that day, all people need to take heed, for everyone who is upholding and promoting past religious laws and beliefs, is fighting against God, and against his word. In God’s eyes, they are rebellious souls, and they are guilty of worshipping a false god. This is the controversy that God has with his people: This day, today, God is pleading with all flesh, and believers are not listening to his voice. Everyone needs to listen, because God desires to keep his people safe during the transition time, for he wants to protect them and keep them from the angry mobs of unbelievers, as well as from all of the plagues of correction which are prophesied and written in the unchangeable laws of scripture. 

“The Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land... My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, and thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children (Hosea 4:1; 4:6).” 

“Woe to them that... stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord! Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity (Isaiah 31:1-2).”
     
“Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord (Jeremiah 17:5).” 

“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon (Isaiah 55:7).”

“The Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn, and... All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake or prevent us (Amos 9:5; 9:10).”

God’s people are his peculiar treasure, so always bear in mind that God loves them, and that when they repent and cooperate with his word, in due time they will be delivered. God has his own purposes for allowing believers to continue to suffer their mistakes for an extended period of time: He is working to release every prisoner who is bound by religion, and who has been kept from fully knowing him. Affliction is part of his plan, but the afflicted not guiltless in his eyes. He will bring down their glory to the ground. 

“The Lord said unto Moses... this people will rise up, and go a-whoring after other gods... and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I made with them. Then my anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them... and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us? And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods (Deuteronomy 31:16-18).”

“The Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance (Deuteronomy 28:59).”

“My God, my God, Why hast thou forsake me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. But thou art holy... Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them (Ps 22:1-4).” 

“Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory (Jeremiah 13:18).”  

“The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he’s judged (Psalm 37:33).”

“And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth (Zechariah 14:12).”

“If thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; Then I will stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I covenanted with David thy father... but IF YOU TURN AWAY, AND FORSAKE MY STATUTES, AND MY COMMANDMENTS, which I set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; Then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among the nations (2Chronicles 7:17-20).” 

“When heaven is shut up... because they have sinned against thee... if there be in the land famine, or if there be pestilence... whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be; What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all the people Israel, which shall KNOW EVERY MAN THE PLAGUE OF HIS OWN HEART, and spread forth his hands towards this house: Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;) That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land (1Kings 8:35-40).” 

“Ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand. Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I deliver you no more. Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation (Judges 10:12-14).”

“O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters. Heal me Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise (Jeremiah 17:13-14).”

“The destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed (Isaiah 1:28).”

The rebellious are reserved for God’s judgments: people will not ever be able to convince or persuade this type of person to consider the truth, for they cannot hear God’s voice. God has shut up their understanding, so what can man do? Believers are to forsake the people who despise their warnings: and leave them for God to judge.

“The angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrah... are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers... Woe unto them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, and they ran greedily after error of Balaam for reward... These are spots in your feasts of charity... twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame (Jude 6-13).”

“If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him (Job 11:10)?” “Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth (Job 12:14-15).” 

“We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies. The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God (Jeremiah 51:9-10).”

“O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole’s mouth (Jeremiah 48:28).”

“Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me (Jeremiah 49:11).”

“Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding (Proverbs 9:6).”

“Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house; So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; worship thou him (Psalm 45:10).”

God crafted a parable out of the words, reaping, and gleaning. Among other things, this parable was played out in a statute that the Lord gave Israel. In harvest time, Israel was told not to reap every corner of their field, neither were they to glean every grape in their vineyard: they were told to leave some behind for the poor, and for the stranger. This odd requirement suggests that when a believing priest hears and understands the Lord’s message, they are to go ahead and start to promote it, even without waiting for every other priest to be on board with it. Leave the unbelieving behind, for they will have their purpose, and play their part in the Lord’s end time plan. Their troubles and afflictions will be a useful a sign: their misfortunes will sanctify others, and cause many unbelievers to fear God.

“Thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God (Leviticus 19:10).” “Let fall some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them (Ruth 2:16).”

“The generation to come... and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the Lord God hath laid upon it; that the whole land thereof is... like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah... which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath... Wherefore hath the Lord done this unto this land? What meaneth the heat of this great anger? Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt (Deuteronomy 29:22-25).”

Only the remnant of faithful believers who do know the Lord’s voice, will consider his ways, and they will comply and do whatever is necessary to give God the cooperation that he deserves during these times. These faithful believers will reap the rewards of righteousness: They will bring glory to God’s name, and they will avoid the disciplinary punishments of the affliction, and the curse. This is God’s battle, therefore the people that obey God’s voice will not have to fight in it! Much of the evidence concerning this truth is buried in prophecies which contain the words, ‘Valley of Jehoshaphat.’ The valley of Jehoshaphat stands for the point at which believers hear the prophet’s message, and they must to make a decision on whether or not to believe it. In other words, it’s all about going one way, or the other. These words refer to a valley wherein king Jehoshaphat had to make one such decision: 

A great multitude was come out to fight against Judah, in the days of king Jehoshaphat. As Judah gathered together and prayed, a certain man stood up and said: Thus saith the Lord, tomorrow go down against them, you shall not need to fight in this battle, set yourselves, and stand still. At that point king Jehoshaphat had to decide: would he believe that man which spoke in the name of the Lord, or not? Jehoshaphat chose to believe the message was from God. Because of his decision, Judah stood in the valley on that day and witnessed as the armies which had come out to fight against them, destroyed one another. Let’s start this group of evidence off by hearing king Jehoshaphat’s response, before the battle on that fruitful day wherein he believed the prophet’s message, and God blessed him for it.  

“As they went forth... Jehoshaphat stood still and said, Hear me, O Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper (2Chronicles 20:15-20).”

“I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people (Joel 3:2).” “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision...The Lord shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and earth will shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall be no strangers pass through her any more (Joel 3:14-17).”

“Let the heathen be awakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there I will sit to judge the heathen round about (Joel 3:12).”  

“Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set (Ezekiel 21:16).” “And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left (Matthew 25:32-33).”

“And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land (Zechariah 9:16).”

“COMFORT ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned (Isaiah 40:1-2).”  

“Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come and with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped (Isaiah 35:3-5).” 

Now let’s talk about the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic: The coronavirus pandemic is the promised curse from the Lord our God, and it’s a sign. God was faithful, and he has fulfilled his promise to bring the curse. We have already witnessed some of the evidence, but there is plenty more. In prophecy the coronavirus goes by another name; it is called a decreed consumption. Every one in the world will notice when God creates an end time sign, and certainly everyone in the world has noticed the coronavirus pandemic. God is using this terrible sign to strengthen his people, to cause them to hear his voice, and to prompt them act in accordance with his word: It is for the good of all people. 

“All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye (Isaiah 18:3).” “Then shall appear the SIGN of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory (Matthew 24:30).” 

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that  the remnant of Israel, and such as escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but they shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the CONSUMPTION DECREED shall overflow with righteousness. For the Lord God of hosts shall make a CONSUMPTION, even determined, in the midst of all the land (Isaiah 10:20-23).”

“If you will not hearken unto me... and will not do all my commandments, but that you break my covenant: I will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, CONSUMPTION, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart (Leviticus 26:14-16).”

“Now therefore be not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth (Isaiah 28:22).”

Additional verity and proof that this pandemic fulfills scripture, appears in prophecies which claim that the Lord God’s house will be forsaken in the day of his wrath, saying that every house is shut up, so that no man can come in. Some of these prophecies contain the word ‘Shiloh’. So before seeing these evidences, let’s consider what God did to Eli and his sons, in Shiloh. 

Now Eli was a priest who had grown complacent towards God: and his sons were even worse. Eli was complacent when his sons unlawfully obtained meat from the people's offerings, for his, as well as their own benefit. God sent a prophet unto Eli with evil tidings saying, in essence, that he would cut off, and judge the arm of Eli’s father’s house, forever, and that he would raise up a faithful priest who would obey him, and who would align his choices and decisions with God’s heart. God gave Eli a sign to testify that that prophet was speaking the word of God, saying that both of his sons would die in one day. But Eli wasn’t bothered by him, he simply didn’t believe that he was a prophet. Eli wasn’t exactly evil, it was just that he did not believe that God would afflict someone who served him in the position of the royal priesthood: therefore Eli didn’t repent. Some time later, God arose and fulfilled the word that was sent against the house of Eli. The Glory of God departed Israel: because the ark of the covenant was taken. On that day, in order to confirm that the prophet was indeed speaking the word of God, both of Eli’s sons were killed: and upon learning about them, and receiving news that the ark had been taken, Eli died too. Eli’s story was recorded as an example, and for a sign: to remind priests that there are consequences for ignoring God’s commandments, as well as for not listening to his servants, the prophets. And the loss of the ark, symbolized desolation, and spiritual death. In other words, the loss of God's favor on the congregation, as well as the withdrawal of his Holy Spirit. (1Samuel chapters two through four)

“I said indeed  that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed... In that day I will preform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning this house: when I begin, I will also make an end. For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth  (1Samuel 2:30; 3:12-13).”

“They provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: So he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the enemy’s hand (Psalm 78:58-61).”

“Thus saith the Lord; If you will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you, to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but you have not hearkened; Then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth (Jeremiah 26:4-6).”

“Go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. And now, because ye have done all these wicked works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but you answered not; Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim (Jeremiah 7:12-15).”

“Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, and the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return (Isaiah 6:10-13).”

“Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once and will distress them, that they may find it so (Jeremiah 10:18).”

“Why is the house of God forsaken (Nehemiah 13:11)?” “The cities of the south shall be shut up, and NONE SHALL OPEN THEM (Jeremiah 13:19).” “The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in (Isaiah 24:10).” 

“In that day shall his strong cities be a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation. Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength (Isaiah 17:9-10).”

As previously witnessed, some of the end time prophesies of scripture have already been fulfilled: God delivered the curse, which he swore that he would do, and his house has been emptied. These two fulfillments of prophecy should bring believers into a new found confidence in the Lord’s end time message. God is fighting this battle for us, therefore, those who are keeping God’s instructions and doing his commandments, have nothing to fear. Trust in the new covenant, and do not to be afraid of sudden terror, or the coronavirus, nothing will in any ways afflict you. God will not forsake you: believers are being protected by the supernatural power of the Lord God almighty. The shout of the king is among us! God’s words of deliverance shall go forth as lightening, and as an arrow.

“The Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning (Zechariah 9:14).” “The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance (2Kings 13:17).” “Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings; and discomfited them (Psalm 18:14).”

“Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day (Psalm 91:5).” 

“He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler... a thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked... There shall NO EVIL BEFALL THEE, NEITHER PLAGUE come nigh thy dwelling (Psalm 91:4-10).”

“For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it (Psalm 94:14-15).”

“Their tongue is as an arrow shot out (Jeremiah 9:8).” “Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies (Psalm 45:5).” “He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins (Lamentations 3:13).”

“Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread (Isaiah 8:12-13).”

“Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and BE NOT DISMAYED at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them (Jeremiah 10-2).”

“Wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them (Jeremiah 8:9)?”

“If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them? Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shall remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt (Deuteronomy 7:17-18).” 

“Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord (1Chronicles 28:20).”

“I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord (Jeremiah 23:4).”

“Concerning this house which thou are building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then I will preform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father: And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel (1Kings 6:12-13).”

“For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them (Jeremiah 32:42).” 

“Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of THE HOUSE OF THE LORD OF HOSTS was laid, that the temple might be built. For before these days... I set all men every one against his neighbor. BUT NOW I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the Lord of hosts. For the seed shall be prosperous; and the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: FEAR NOT, but let your hands be strong (Zechariah 8:9-13).” 

The Lord our God used that same Hebrew word which was translated into the word ‘consumption’ in a rather unusual way in the book of Daniel. He set it in a verse wherein it was translated into the word ‘consummation.’ In other words, the same word which pertains to the coronavirus pandemic was also placed in a prophecy wherein believers would think on the betrothal between God and this people. 

“He shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (Daniel 9:27).”

We are already in the MIDST of the week: for God has fulfilled the part of this prophecy which confirms that the sacrifice and oblation will cease, in that the coronavirus has caused every the Mosque, temple, and church to be closed. This verse is insinuating that when God’s curse comes upon his people, he will withdraw his Holy Spirit from backslidden believers of the Christian faith who have forsaken him, and they will be left desolate, and alone, separated from the Holy Spirit. When believers begin to hear the truth about their new covenant, many believers, will, for the first time ever, come to know the joy of having intimacy with the Lord through his Holy Spirit. This is what the consummation is all about. The Holy Spirit will be poured out upon them, and God’s spirit will be united with his people, forever. Therefore it is concluded that the word which was translated, “consummation” as well as "consumption" was identifying that this coronavirus curse will result in God’s Holy Spirit being poured out upon many believers.

“Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it (Amos 3:6)?”

“The consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness (Isaiah 10:22).”

“In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the Lord their God. They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten (Jeremiah 50:4-5).” 

“For, Behold, I create a new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy (Isaiah 65:17-18).”

“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband (Revelation 21:2).”

“BEFORE she travailed, she brought forth; BEFORE her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? Saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? Saith my God. Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her... For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream... As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem (Isaiah 66:7-13).”

Don’t be imaging that the coronavirus is already beginning to dissipate and it is not a threat anymore, so life will get back to some kind of a new normal soon; and don’t humor yourself by thinking that radical religious fanatics have always been crying some kind of end time stuff, what’s new, nothing ever happens, so likewise, this is no different. Remember when God shuts up a house, NO MAN SHALL OPEN IT. Today is the day of the decision, go thee one way or the other. Do you believe that God could do this? God's sword is drawn.

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape (1Thessalonians 5:3).”

“Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of God’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land (Zephaniah 1:18).”

“The slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of earth even unto the other end of the earth (Jeremiah 25:33).”

“A sword is sharpened... it is sharpened to make a sore slaughter... Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people... because it is a trial... therefore, son of man, prophesy... I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! It is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter (Ezekiel 21:9-15).”

“If ye will fear the Lord, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the Lord your God: But if ye will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord be against you, as it was against your fathers (1Samuel 12:14-15).” 

“The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear (Habakkuk 3:11).”

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising (Isaiah 60:1-3).”
