US jobless claims hit 3.3 million, quadruple previous record<\/h2>\n

March 26, 2020<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Nearly 3.3 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week \u2014 more than quadruple the previous record set in 1982 \u2014 amid a widespread economic shutdown caused by the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The surge in weekly applications was a stunning reflection of the damage the viral outbreak is inflicting on the economy. Filings for unemployment aid generally reflect the pace of layoffs.<\/p>\n

Layoffs are sure to accelerate as the U.S. economy sinks into a recession. Revenue has collapsed at restaurants, hotels, movie theaters, gyms, and airlines. Auto sales are plummeting, and car makers have close factories. Most such employers face loan payments and other fixed costs, so they\u2019re cutting jobs to save money. … The economic deterioration has been swift. https:\/\/apnews.com\/1bae3794481cc9d02fc670480cfcb800<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Businesses are not simply cutting jobs to save money. Many are cutting costs so that the business has a chance to continue to operate in the future.<\/p>\n

A headline on AOL news today was, Pandemic Wreaks Havoc on American Job Market<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As far as increased unemployment and layoffs go, what else would be expected when various governments declare the shut down of ‘non-essential businesses’ and order ‘shelter in residence’? It was government actions (whether or not justified by the facts) that was a major factor in the increased unemployment and much of the downturn.<\/p>\n

And of course, increased unemployment means reduced production and increased economic fears.<\/p>\n

What is the ‘solution’ for those from the federal leaders of the USA?<\/p>\n

Increasing official debt, promising cash payments, relaxed mortgage rules, and printing money essentially out of thin air. From a prophetic perspective, that will not end well (cf. Habakkuk 2:6-8).<\/p>\n

The US\u00a0 federal government (as well as leaders in various nations) seem to hope that by putting additional money in the economy and giving more money to the unemployed, that politicians may get re-elected and massive civil unrest will be averted.<\/p>\n

Coronavirus causes gun sales surge amid fears of civil unrest<\/h2>\n

The coronavirus is not just causing a shortage of toilet tissue, cleaning supplies and bread, it is prompting an increase in gun and ammunition sales from people fearful of the disease\u2019s potential aftermath.<\/p>\n

People like Daniel Hill<\/strong>, who had never purchased a gun prior to the coronavirus pandemic. Last week, Hill picked up two guns, a 9-millimeter Taurus handgun, and an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, from Hyatt Gun and Coin, a gun store in North Carolina …<\/p>\n

Hill, 29, who works as a kitchen manager in Charlotte, N.C., told The Times <\/em>that the unknown aftermath of the coronavirus caused him to fear a potential lapse in public safety \u2014complete with lootings, robberies and \u201ceverything shutting down, like in a zombie movie.\u201d Hill said he feared an America that \u201cjust won\u2019t have any sense of lawfulness anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gun and ammunition dealers say Hill is not alone. Gun stores are reportedly seeing a sharp increase in customers who share Hill\u2019s fears. Some states have sold out of particular models of firearms and other survival prep gear, including in California, New York, Ohio, Washington State, and Alabama. One Twitter<\/a> photo showed a long line of people outside of a Los Angeles gun shop, waiting to purchase their firearms. …<\/p>\n

Like gun shops, ammunition suppliers are also seeing a sizable increase in sales. https:\/\/thegrio.com\/2020\/03\/18\/coronavirus-gun-sales-civil-unrest<\/a>\/<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

More armed Americans means the possibility of violent civil unrest is increasing.<\/p>\n

And, in the future, we will have violent civil unrest in the USA.<\/p>\n

Now, consider the following:<\/p>\n

Modeling study suggests 18 months of COVID-19 social distancing, much disruption<\/h2>\n

“Each policy has major challenges,” the authors wrote. Mitigation “might reduce peak healthcare demand by 2\/3 and deaths by half. However, the resulting mitigated epidemic would\u00a0 still likely result in hundreds of thousands of deaths and health systems (most notably intensive care units) being overwhelmed many times over.”<\/p>\n

To avoid that, the country would need to focus on suppression. But suppression requires social distancing measures far longer than the 14 to 30 days Americans have been told to prepare for. Instead, they would need to be in place for 18 months, or until a vaccine is made available.<\/p>\n

“I think the model’s broad conclusion is correct that there is a terrible dilemma of very long-term social distancing, or overloading healthcare systems, or both,” said Marc Lipsitch, DPhil, a professor of epidemiology and the director of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at Harvard University. “With the options currently available I do not see a way to get out of this dilemma.”<\/p>\n

Model considers 3 scenarios, predicts high death count<\/h3>\n

To understand how mitigation or suppression would play out, the Imperial College team, led by Neil Ferguson, OBE, ran a model based on three scenarios. In the first, US officials do nothing to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, schools and businesses are kept open, and the virus is allowed to move through the population.<\/p>\n

This would result in 81% of the US population, about 264 million people, contracting the disease. Of those, 2.2 million would die, including 4% to 8% of Americans over age 70. More important, by the second week in April, the demand for critical care beds would be 30 times greater than supply.<\/p>\n

If mitigation practices are put in place, including a combination of case isolation, home quarantine, and social distancing of those most at risk (over age 70), the peak critical care demand would reduce by 60%, and there would be half the number of deaths. But this scenario still produces an eightfold demand on critical care beds above surge capacity.<\/p>\n

In order to suppress the pandemic to an R0<\/sub> of below 1, a country would need to combine case isolation, social distancing of the entire population, and either household quarantine or school and university closure, the authors found. These measures “are assumed to be in place for a 5-month duration,” they wrote.<\/p>\n

In addition, the authors said, these measures may have to be put back into place if restrictions are lifted and cases surge again.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think it is attractive, [I] just don’t see a way out of it,” said Lipsitch. 03\/18\/20 http:\/\/www.cidrap.umn.edu\/news-perspective\/2020\/03\/modeling-study-suggests-18-months-covid-19-social-distancing-much<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Certain models suggest that most Americans and most Germans will get COVID-19.<\/p>\n

In my own case, since I work with ill people, the odds of contracting COVID-19 are fairly high. Now, while I would pray and likely use appropriate natural interventions, that will not be the case for most.<\/p>\n

What will happen when, despite social distancing, shelter in place, closed businesses, failing businesses, medical treatments, and more shortages, a lot more people die?<\/p>\n

Survivors will get upset.<\/p>\n

According to prophecy, various ones will take wrong steps in these last days:<\/p>\n

\n

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.\u00a0 (2 Timothy 3:1-8)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You should not be like them.<\/p>\n

You should live by the truth.<\/p>\n

Where can people find the truth?<\/p>\n

In the word of God:<\/p>\n

17<\/sup> Your word is truth. (John 17:17)<\/p>\n

13<\/sup> For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. 14.<\/sup> For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 2:13-14a).<\/p>\n

7<\/sup> \u2026 the word of truth, (2 Corinthians 6:7)<\/p>\n

13<\/sup> In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; (Ephesians 1:13)<\/p>\n

5<\/sup> the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, (Colossians 1:5)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The word \u201cgospel\u201d means GOOD NEWS! (See also, the free online book: The Gospel of the Kingdom of God<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Despite, all the negative news associated with the novel coronavirus, you have hope.<\/p>\n

In this stressful times of disease, closed businesses, and COVID-19 travel restrictions, remember that Jesus taught:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

32 Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father\u2019s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. (Luke 12:32)<\/p>\n

33 \u2026 In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. (John 16:33b)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yes, many of us are facing various tribulations, but as Christians we need to \u201cbe of good cheer.\u201d<\/p>\n

You do NOT have to be stressed out like more and more in society are.<\/p>\n

Notice some scripturee:<\/p>\n

13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
\nAnd the man who gains understanding;
\n14 For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
\nAnd her gain than fine gold.
\n15 She is more precious than rubies,
\nAnd all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
\n16 Length of days is in her right hand,
\nIn her left hand riches and honor.
\n17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
\nAnd all her paths are peace.
\n18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
\nAnd happy are all who retain her.\u00a0 (Proverbs 3:13-18)<\/p>\n

14 Happy is the man who is always reverent, But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity. (Proverbs 28:14)<\/p>\n

19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; 20 that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; (Deuteronomy 30:19-20)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wisdom can be found in the word of God and be the tree of life for those willing to retain wisdom. Those who harden their heart to disobey fall into calamity.<\/p>\n

Many in the world feel hopeless. But real Christians are not to have \u201csorrow as others who have no hope\u201d (1 Thessalonians 4:13).<\/p>\n

You do not have to be like others in society. You should live God\u2019s way and let your light shine:<\/p>\n

14 <\/sup>You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, how should people live?<\/p>\n

Jesus said:<\/p>\n

4 <\/sup>\u2026 \u201cIt is written, \u2018Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.\u2019\u201c (Matthew 4:4)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

God\u2019s word teaches:<\/p>\n

12 \u201cAnd now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good? (Deuteronomy 10:12-14)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, God\u2019s commands are for OUR GOOD.<\/p>\n

But the world does not accept that. To learn more about God\u2019s commands check out the free book: The Ten Commandments: The Decalogue, Christianity, and the Beast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What would make people happy?<\/p>\n

Jesus came that we might have LIFE, \u201cand have it more abundantly\u201d (John 10:10).<\/p>\n

Notice some additional scriptures:<\/p>\n

18<\/sup> Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law. (Proverbs 29:18)<\/p>\n

15<\/sup> Happy are the people whose God is the Lord! (Psalms 144:15)<\/p>\n

21 <\/sup>He who despises his neighbor sins; But he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he. (Proverbs 14:21)<\/p>\n

5<\/sup> Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
\nWhose hope is in the Lord his God,
\n6<\/sup> Who made heaven and earth,
\nThe sea, and all that is in them;
\nWho keeps truth forever, (Psalms 146:5-6)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

More and more in the USA do not accept the revealed word of God. They have cast aside various moral restraints and care little for others. They do not want to be the people of the real God. This has not made them happy.<\/p>\n

Because of COVID-19 and other factors, aspects of society are breaking down.<\/p>\n

Now, as far as the purpose of life, Michael Snyder got it close.<\/p>\n

What is YOUR purpose?<\/p>\n

Your purpose is to give love in a unique way throughout all eternity.<\/p>\n

As the Apostle Paul wrote to Christians (and not just married couples):<\/p>\n

12<\/sup> And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all<\/strong> \u2026 (1 Thessalonians 3:12)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whether male or female, humans are intended to give love. Increasing love to all will make eternity better.<\/p>\n

That is good news.<\/p>\n

You do not need to go the wrong direction that most in the world have accepted.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 should serve as a wake-up call to all that the world as we know it, in the USA and elsewhere, is changing.<\/p>\n

God has a plan (see also, the free online book: The MYSTERY of GOD\u2019s PLAN Why Did God Create Anything? Why did God make you?<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n

And ultimately, His Kingdom<\/a> will replace this world\u2019s societies. That, too, is good news.<\/p>\n

But YOU do not need to wait until then.<\/p>\n

You can strive to live according to the word of God now.<\/p>\n

COVID 19 is NOT the End, but could it be TEOWAKI?<\/a> The novel coronavirus called COVID-19 is wreaking havoc around the world. Many states of the USA as well as countries in Europe are on lockdown with shelter in place \/shelter in residence requirements. In France, a form is required when you are not at your house. In Spain, drones are being used to warn people who are outside to got back to their homes\u2013does that bring up feelings of \u2018Big Brother\u2019? Italy, France, and other areas are using police and\/or military force to encourage people to stay inside. According to the Bible could this be the end? If not, what has to happen first? Have the second and third of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse started their ride? Could COVID-19 be the fourth horseman? Why or why not? Could we be seeing The End of the World as We Know It (TEOTWAKI) like the R.E.M.\u2019s 1987 single song discussed? Do Christians need to fear? What did Jesus teach? What did the Psalmist teach? This is a video.
\nCOVID-19 Leading to 666?<\/a> The novel coronavirus of Wuhan, China fame, is now called COVID-19. It has also been called the \u2018Coronapocalypse.\u2019 Does COVID-19 have any prophetic ramifications? What did Jesus teach about pestilences and sorrows in the Olivet prophecy in Matthew 24? Could COVID-19 be the ride of the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse? Why was this type of disease expected according to the Old Testament prophecies in Deuteronomy and Leviticus? What has the US Centers for Disease Control warned about? What has the CDC reported about the flu? Were there lessons about fear and infections in the 2011 movie \u2018Contagion\u2019? Because of COVID-19, the World Health Organization (WHO), nation of Iran, and certain French locations are telling people not to use cash, but instead electronic forms of payment. The US Federal Reserve is now quarantining money repatriated from Asia to reduce the potential spread of the coronavirus on US currency bills. Is COVID-19 worse than we have been told or could this all be a \u2018false flag\u2019 event to encourage people to move towards a cashless society? If the thousands of deaths associated with COVID-19 are pushing parts of the world towards cashlessness, how much more likely will the ride of the fourth horseman and over a billion human deaths motivate people to move to making electronic payments that can be monitored? The Bible tells of a soon coming society that controls buying and selling to force allegiance to a coming European Beast power, known as 666 (Revelation <\/span>13:16-18). Does the \u2018great tribulation\u2019 begin before ride of the fourth horseman or with the opening of the fifth seal of Revelation 6? Do the words of Jesus helps us better understand the sequence of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse and the start of the Great Tribulation? Will the ride of the fourth horseman help lead to the rise of 666? Is that ride very close? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.
\nBiological Warfare and Prophecy<\/a>. 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\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 in this video.
