Word Title: Corona Virus: Is it a natural disaster? Or God’s judgment?
God proclaimed the message of blessing and punishment unto the Israelites. If they do not make idols or engraved images; they do not make standing images: they do not build any stone images on their land: they do not bow to them, and they keep the Sabbaths of the Lord God and fear His sanctuary, and do and keep His ordinances, then God promised them that he would bless them.
But he spoke unto them, he would punish them many times when they do not listen to God: do not do all the commandments: ignore the rules: or their soul hates the commandments of the Lord: do not do all the commandments; and break his covenant.
The first punishment against them is that God would give them terror, consumption, and burning ague, that consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart; and they shall sow their seed in vain, for their enemies shall eat it.. God also said that God will set his face against them, and they shall be slain before their enemies: they that hate them shall reign over them; and they shall flee when none pursues them.
And if they will not yet for all this hearken unto him, then he will punish them seven times more for their sins. And he will break their pride of their power; and he will make their heaven as iron, and their earth as brass. And their strength shall be spent in vain: for their land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the tree of the land yield their fruits.
The Israelites who had received the Word of God not only opposed God to the very end, but their eyes were completely blind, and even by hanging Jesus on the cross and crucifying him, they were nationally punisshed by God and ridiculed in all the nations and lived in discipline.
While they lived in God’s judgment, God made Christians who believed in the Gospel of Christ for the past two thousand years to be the Church of God, but the Churches of God also went through the same way as the Israelites. Even though they say, serving God, but nowadays they are serving all kinds of idols, but they not realize themselves as serving idols as Israelite. Just as the Israelites in the old days worshiped idols, but they thought, they were serving God by offering sacrifices unto God. Nowadays, churches of God also worship on Sunday thinking themselves worship God is the only way to serving God, while they serve all kinds of idols and mammon. However, in reality, they do not realize that they worship the Devil.
Through the prophet Isaiah, God gave a warning message to the Israelites as well as church of God who worship God in vain:
This message is for the apostate churches all over the earth. Churches in Korea are no exception. If they say that they believe in Jesus and do well on Sunday worship, they are mistaken for pleasing God. By joining the WCC and WEA to serve all the idols created by other religions together, if they give offering just like the old Israelites offered sacrifices, they are making and serving some strong idols and mistake themselves for serving God. Serving Japanese idols under rule of Japan, Korean churches were not aware that they worshipped idols. They were judged tremendously by God for their sins through miserable Korean that made the whole country desolate. Because of the corona virus, many Korean churches had to close their churches only having Sunday service through YouTube offering by credit card. They are still thinking themselves pleasing God with on line services. Unfortunately, they don’t realize why God has brought such kind of pestilence never awaring of Corona virus as plague brought by God expecting their repentance from their sins of idolatry.
Korean churches have to come out of the denominations in WCC and WEA, and have to repent seriously to dwell in the secret place of the Most High:Almighty God
That’s right. God-fearing children who dwell in the truth are surrounded by the angels of the Lord and they deliver them from pestilence (Psalm 34: 7).
