Alpha Gal Syndrome can cause people to become allergic to red meat as well as cause other serious problems. Alpha Gal Syndrome is spread through the sugar in ticks saliva. Some ‘scientists’ think this is a good thing. What does the Bible say?
The Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following Bible News Prophecy video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel related to these matters:
14:38Alpha Gal Syndrome: A Modern Pestilence
Ticks are insects that are easy to hate. But did you know that they not only suck your blood, but they also spit in you? When they start gnawing on you to suck your blood some of their spit gets mixed with your blood. It should come as no surprise that this has the potential of causing disease. What might come as a surprise is that this gnawing, sucking, spitting process has actually resulted in a condition known as Alpha Gal Syndrome. However, what might come as an even bigger surprise is that there is a group of people (vegetarian scientists published in ‘Bioethics’) that have found a way to claim the Modern Day Pestilence of the Alpha Gal Syndrome as being good. Alpha-gal is a molecule (galactose-α-1,3-galactose) that is naturally produced in the bodies of most mammals but not in people. It is also found in the saliva (spit) of some ticks. When a tick bites, it can transfer alpha-gal from its saliva into a person’s blood. The body’s natural defenses, or immune system, can identify alpha-gal as a threat and trigger an allergic reaction. The Alpha Gal Syndrome causes those that suffer from tick bites to become highly allergic to red meat and meat products such as dairy and gelatin. This syndrome can even lead to anaphylactic shock, which can also be fatal. Although the Bible allows for vegetarianism, it also specifically states that there are many ‘red meat’ animals that humans can eat (Deuteronomy 14:4-6). Calling this Modern Pestilence good is a Biblical example of ‘calling evil good’. To learn more about this modern-day pestilence watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical truth on the modern-day pestilence of the Alpha Gal Syndrome.

Biological Warfare and Prophecy. Is biological warfare possible? Was it prophesied? Scientists have long warned that pathogenic organisms like the coronavirus could be weaponized. Furthermore, back in 2017, there were concerns that the biological research facility being constructed in Wuhan, China was risky and that a coronavirus from it could be released. On January 25, 2020, China’s President Xi Jinping publicly stated that the situation with the Wuhan-related strain of the coronavirus was grave. Did Church of God writers like the late evangelist Raymond McNair warn that engineered viruses (the “Doomsday bug”) were consistent with prophecies from Jesus? Did a warning from CCOG leader Bob Thiel warn about risks of genetically-modified (GMO) mosquitoes come to pass? Could human research and/or the consumption of biblically-unclean animals such as bats and snakes be a factor in current outbreaks or coming future pestilences? What about famines? How devastating have pestilences been? How devastating are the prophesied ones going to be? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.
