TW: Pestilence Issues


COGwriter

The latest TW News & Prophecy e-zine from the Living Church of God contains the following:

Dangerous super bacteria!

Due to the overuse of antibiotics, bacteria are growing more resilient and more deadly. According to an article in The Independent, “Britain is facing a ‘massive’ rise in antibiotic-resistant blood poisoning caused by the bacterium E.coli–bringing closer the spectre of diseases that are impossible to treat. Experts say the growth of antibiotic resistance now poses as great a threat to global health as the emergence of new diseases such as AIDS and pandemic flu.”These infections are now spreading around the globe. Experts note that the growth of these resistant bacteria threatens “to turn common infections into untreatable diseases” and medical professionals are now seeing infections that are resistant to powerful “last line of defense” antibiotics. Experts fear E.coli’s resistance because, unlike other bacteria that are not very prevalent, E.coli naturally exists within the gut of all humans (The Independent, February 20, 2012).

Jesus warned that one of the “signs” of the end of the age would be pestilence (Luke 21:11). Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, given the right conditions, will produce widespread disease epidemics.

This world needs the return of Christ and His Kingdom where there will be no more death or sorrow or pain (Revelation 21:4). And that time is coming soon!

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, gmo-resistant pests, and other dangerous organisms are a bigger threat than many realize.  And some of them are spreading.

Here is also another pestilence related news item:

Bird flu less deadly, but more widespread, than official numbers suggest

The deadly H5N1 avian influenza virus may not be quite so lethal after all, an analysis of more than 12,000 blood samples suggests.  http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/338725/title/Bird_flu_less_deadly%2C_but_more_widespread%2C_than_official_numbers_suggest

Infections are part of the pestilences that the Bible warned about for the end times. Jesus taught:

7…And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:6-8)

We seem to be in the time Jesus called “the beginning of sorrows”. There have been “earthquakes in various places” this year. There are some famines and they may increase soon. Candida, other fungi, bacteria, and viruses are not the only pestilences starting to rise up either.

As Jesus said:

37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch! (Mark 13:36-37)
