So, do many other nations.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that Jesus Himself warned that the \u201csigns\u201d of the end of the age would include pestilences:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>7\u2026<strong>And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places<\/strong>. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:7-8)<\/p>\n<p>11\u00a0<strong>And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences<\/strong>; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. (Luke 21:11)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Biological warfare agents certainly can be a factor in pestilences.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, in the sixth chapter of the Book of Revelation, the ride of four horsemen are described. The passages about the fourth horseman are as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, \u201cCome and see.\u201d 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:7-8)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, the opening of the fourth seal is the time that the pale horse of death is apparently increasing death by war, hunger, and pestilences (the beasts of the earth).<\/p>\n<p>Could humans intentionally cause some of that?<\/p>\n<p>Certainly.<\/p>\n<p>Bio-engineered warfare has long been a threat. Here is something from 2016:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Many experts say natural or bioengineered viral pandemics (BVP) are inevitable as it becomes increasingly easier to modify an existing pathogen, making it more lethal and transmissible. Should there be a deliberately loosed pandemic, revolutionary changes will flood our economy, military, foreign policy; we will not live as before during the Age of Bioengineered Viral Pandemics and Collapse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">This bleak Age may be unavoidable, but we can prepare ourselves to minimize its dangers. Yet the specter of biological attack, especially by hard-to-identity and hold-to-account (let alone deter) non-state actors, is little addressed by the media or even inside the U.S. government.<\/span>\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Genetic engineering, or bioengineering, is the manipulation of an organism\u2019s genetic material. Scientists have been creating genetically modified organisms (GMO) since the 1970s, and in 2010 the first synthetic new life form was created. \u2026 Now it is possible to accelerate genetic change, creating viruses and bacteria that never existed. With newer techniques, a simple, cheap lab (perhaps in a neighbor\u2019s garage) can generate millions of recombinants in minutes. Through bioengineering a lone terrorist or a Revolutionary Guards lab in Iran can intentionally create a human-to-human transmissible version of avian flu, or modify a lethal virus to have a longer latency period, which would facilitate its undetected spread. \u2026<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">A bioengineered virus, launched in our crowded, interconnected world by an enemy working to spread it widely before it is detected, could yield a more devastating pandemic than anything experienced in the past.<\/span>\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">If the first bioengineered virus comes from an accident or is unleashed by one madman it may fail to spread to pandemic status. A worse threat is North Korea, Iran, or a terrorist group bioengineering a virus they release against us in multiple locations, perhaps after they\u2019ve developed a vaccine to protect themselves. For new, bioengineered viruses, however, there likely will be no immunity or treatment available<\/span>. \u2026<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">While we cannot forecast the odds of a BVP, a host of experts believes it is inevitable. A National Defense University study of the GMO threat found that \u201cthe tools and information required for genetic modification of microorganisms are readily available worldwide.\u201d They are also very cheap, and \u201cthe work can be successfully accomplished by a small cadre [of three people].\u201d This study estimated that the materials and facilities to weaponize a bioagent would cost about $250,000. \u201cCompared to other projects that might be undertaken by governments or private organizations, the cost of equipping and staffing a laboratory scale bioprocessing facility is trivial.\u201d They concluded that \u201cthe potential for corruption of biotechnology to catastrophic malevolent use is considerable,\u201d with \u201ctangible opportunities for many potential adversaries to acquire, modify, and then manufacture to scale a potential GMO pathogen.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-american-interest.com\/2016\/09\/20\/the-age-of-designer-plagues\/\">https:\/\/www.the-american-interest.com\/2016\/09\/20\/the-age-of-designer-plagues\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Consider also, that back in 1969, the old Worldwide Church of God published the following by the late Raymond McNair:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>THE DOOMSDAY BUG<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is \u2014 this very instant \u2014 a feverish international search for the ultimate \u201cdooms-day bug.\u201d The purpose? \u2014 to wipe out whole nations overnight by disease germs and chemicals. Will man\u2019s unrestrained scientific search for more horrifying weapons of mass destruction prove to be his undoing?<\/p>\n<p>WHAT I have seen here at Porton Down has convinced me of the awful potential of modern Chemical and Biological Warfare (called CBW for short). Few realize its frightening possibilities! Sensational news headlines from time to time reveal details of CBW development world-wide. \u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>History of CBW<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chemical and Biological Warfare is not new to mankind. For thousands of years man has used various CBW agents to overcome his enemies. But\u2026 it is only recently that he has seriously considered the idea of using CBW on a grand scale \u2014 to erase whole populations! Thousands of years ago man discovered the diabolical use of poison. He learned to use poison to dispose of rulers, dignitaries, or large numbers of his enemies by poisoning their food or water supply. Poisoned arrows were also used in warfare. Millenniums ago man learned that he could throw the corpses of plague-infected humans over the walls of besieged cities which he sought to overthrow \u2014 thereby causing terrible plague to ravage the entire city. Early American settlers traded plague-infected blankets to American Indians in times of frontier hostilities. There have been virtually no limits to man\u2019s diabolical, inventive genius in the realm of destructive weapons of war. CBW\u2019s<\/p>\n<p><strong>Awful Potential<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We can see the awful potential of rampant disease organisms by observing what did happen during the Dark Ages. The BLACK DEATH of 1348-50 was the worst natural disaster to befall man in the last 4000 years. This terrible plague swept over all Europe \u2014 killing at least one third of the population! In certain areas nearly three fourths of the population was killed by plague! Three fifths of all Britons succumbed to the Black Death \u2014 reducing Britain\u2019s population from 5.1 million in 1348 to 2.1 million in 1374.<\/p>\n<p>Many, believing they would certainly fall victims of the Black Death, gave themselves over to reckless abandon \u2014 drunkenness, sexual orgies, violence, crime and general lawlessness. \u201cEat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die of plague,\u201d they reasoned. But biological warfare is potentially much worse than plague.<\/p>\n<p>Colonel Adam Mikovich of Moscow Institute understands the full potential of Biological Warfare. He said: \u201cIt is believed today that Biological War would have the greatest effect of all\u201d (Post, Jan. 30, 1965). \u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>An Ounce of Doom!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many scientists right now are searching for new plagues with which to decimate the human population. And they are diligently seeking deadlier strains of old viruses with which to destroy whole populations. Of course, these scientists justify their CBW research by saying it is done for defensive reasons. Just how lethal are these viruses? Do you grasp the deadly potential? \u201cIn theory one gram of chicken embryo tissue inoculated with the Q-fever organism would be sufficient to infect more than one million people\u201d (We All Fall Down, Robin Clarke). It has been estimated that one fourth of an ounce would be sufficient to infect every man, woman and child living in the British Isles! That\u2019s about 55 million! Britain is especially vulnerable to chemical or germ warfare. She is thickly crowded and normal weather conditions in Britain are favorable to that type of warfare!<\/p>\n<p>Botulinus, which was developed during World War II, is so deadly that it could wipe out all human life in a given area within six hours \u2014 yet leaving the target area habitable immediately after the attack. But some diseases would have a more lingering effect. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Few realize that far more people have died from pestilence \u2014 from sickness and various plagues \u2014 through the course of human history, than have died in actual warfare.<\/p>\n<p>It has been estimated that over 20,000,000 perished from influenza in just a few months at the close of World War I \u2014 and 50 times that number became ill. In the autumn of 1918, over 12,500,000 died in the flu epidemic which swept the undernourished nation of India. And over one-half million died in the United States. \u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Destroying the Economy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another terrifying aspect of CBW is that an enemy nation could destroy the economy of a nation \u2014 before actually attacking its civilians. This could be done by first attacking some of the main crops of the intended victim nation.<br \/>\nIn 1942, 90 percent of India\u2019s rice crop was destroyed by a natural strain of rice fungus.<\/p>\n<p>And the highest award ever given to a U.S. civilian was awarded to a woman for developing another very deadly type of rice-blast fungus \u2014 which could, of course, be used against rice-eating nations like China or North Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>A Russian scientist has reportedly discovered a very deadly wheat rust \u2014 a type to which America\u2019s wheat would be especially susceptible.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, one can see how an enemy could greatly undermine the economy of a nation by first destroying the main crops through bacteriological warfare.<\/p>\n<p>As a further example of the effects of this type of warfare, consider the terrible economic effects which the Irish potato famine of the mid-1800\u2019s had on Ireland. That particular potato famine was caused by a peculiar potato blight or fungus which completely wiped out Ireland\u2019s potato crop!<\/p>\n<p>Previous to the famine, Ireland was one of the most densely populated countries in Europe. Yet it was a country stricken with the most unbelievable poverty. \u201cThere never was,\u201d said the Duke of Wellington, a native of County Meath, \u201ca country in which poverty existed to the extent that exists in Ireland.\u201d \u201cNearly half of the families of the rural population,\u201d reported the 1841 census, \u201care living in houses of the lowest state\u201d \u2014 windowless mud cabins of a single room. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>CBW weapons are cheap to manufacture, and are comparatively inexpensive to deliver to enemy targets. A small nation could develop a whole arsenal of CBW agents and deliver them with very little strain on its budget. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Scientists must bear their full share of responsibility for their part in developing more deadly and virulent microbes which could unleash horrifying disease epidemics upon this world.<\/p>\n<p>But where does this leave us? Will scientists cease their horrifying work? Hardly.<\/p>\n<p>It leaves us precisely where the world\u2019s most noted newscaster \u2014 Jesus Christ \u2014 said it would leave us! Speaking of our very day, he warned: \u201cFor then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved [alive]: but for the elect\u2019s sake those days shall be shortened\u201d (Matt. 24:21, 22).<\/p>\n<p>But how?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Only Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make no mistake about it \u2014 man does not have the solution to his ever-accelerating arms-race problem. But God does!<\/p>\n<p>We can be very thankful that the God of the universe is about to put an end to man\u2019s hellish insanity toward his fellowman. His government will \u201crebuke strong nations afar off: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they LEARN WAR any more\u201d (Micah 4:3).<\/p>\n<p>Mercifully, God Almighty will not let man destroy himself! If God didn\u2019t keep His hand firmly on the controls, man would annihilate himself.<\/p>\n<p>We can rejoice that total disarmament is very near. The day is soon coming when the nations will close down all of their chemical and biological establishments \u2014 and their munitions factories!<\/p>\n<p>Then all of man\u2019s scientific efforts will be directed toward construction \u2014 not Destruction.

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\u2019s 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 \u201cDoomsday bug\u201d) 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Here is a link to our video:\u00a0<a id=\"video-title\" class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\" title=\"Biological Warfare and Prophecy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R9sSctBW0m8\" aria-label=\"Biological Warfare and Prophecy by BibleNewsProphecy 11 hours ago 17 minutes 122 views\">Biological Warfare and Prophecy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We also have the following video:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div id=\"left-arrow\" class=\"style-scope yt-horizontal-list-renderer\"><a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint inline-block style-scope ytd-thumbnail\" tabindex=\"-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dqZ12NS6we0\" rel=\"null\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"yt-core-image--fill-parent-height yt-core-image--fill-parent-width yt-core-image yt-core-image--content-mode-scale-aspect-fill yt-core-image--loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/dqZ12NS6we0\/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwE2CNACELwBSFXyq4qpAygIARUAAIhCGAFwAcABBvABAfgB_gmAAtAFigIMCAAQARhlIE4oQjAP&amp;rs=AOn4CLDDa5e1_vLZl5Pffa3cRQafrporFw\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"scroll-container\" class=\"style-scope yt-horizontal-list-renderer\">\n<div id=\"items\" class=\"style-scope yt-horizontal-list-renderer\">\n<div id=\"dismissible\" class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\">\n<div id=\"overlays\" class=\"style-scope ytd-thumbnail\">\n<div id=\"time-status\" class=\"style-scope ytd-thumbnail-overlay-time-status-renderer\"><span id=\"text\" class=\"style-scope ytd-thumbnail-overlay-time-status-renderer\" aria-label=\"14 minutes, 53 seconds\">14:53<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"details\" class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\">\n<div id=\"text-metadata\" class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\">\n<div id=\"meta\" class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\">\n<h3 class=\"style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\"><a id=\"video-title\" class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope ytd-grid-video-renderer\" title=\"Biological Weapons and the 4th Horseman of the Apocalypse\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dqZ12NS6we0\" aria-label=\"Biological Weapons and the 4th Horseman of the Apocalypse by BibleNewsProphecy 7 minutes ago 14 minutes, 53 seconds 2 views\">Biological Weapons and the 4th Horseman of the Apocalypse<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Tucker Carlson interviewed Democratic presidential party candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (RFK). During that interview, RFK asserted that the United States has had thousands of scientists working on making bioweapons. Officially, the USA has denied this as it is a party to the Biological Weapons Convention. RFK states that Anthoy Fauci was responsible for biological weapons development. Does the \u2018Global South\u2019 consider that the West may intend to exterminate people through biological warfare? Did Jesus prophesy pestilences? Have humans engaged in biological or germ warfare for millennia? What were some things that Raymond McNair warned about over 50 years ago? Can we trust scientists to totally safely control all the infectious agents they work with? Could humankind be developing, knowingly or unknowingly, biological agents that could be responsible for many of the deaths that are prophesied to occur with the ride of the \u2018pale horse of death,\u2019 which is the fourth of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse to ride?
