The Mystery Coronavirus & The Wake-Up Call to Nations

While the world is reeling with a present danger and tragedy (10,000 deaths and counting), the actual source and origin of the virus is still an unsolved mystery.

Can this new strain of  coronavirus be transmitted from animals to humans? Why this time in Dec 2019 when certain Chinese have been eating bats for ages?

Clearly, there is no proof it jumped from bats into humans (even if it is via an intermediate animal like the civet cat or snake).

We can only find out if patient zero is found (though there are reports patient 1 was not linked to the Wuhan market).

This brings us to a very stunning narrative that has been corroborated by an American Christian called Tracy Cook. Through a revelation from God, he said the coronavirus was created in a lab in Wuhan by certain agents in collusion with American double agents.

The whole modus operandi is to scuttle the re-election of Donald Trump, who poses great political and economic hurdles to the ambitions and plans of the global elite (the deep state).

It is a well known fact for those who study the history of U.S. elections that no incumbent President can get elected when the economy tanks.

And in today's case, a reversal from 3 years of buoyant growth into a 1-2% growth in 2020 may be enough to turn voters against Trump by 3rd November. 

So China and even Russia (who incidentally has minimal infection cases and whose President is engaged in a scary oil price war with Saudi Arabia) appears deeply involved in the agenda.

While this narrative is highly plausible, in the absence of concrete proof, we can only connect the pieces as in a jigsaw puzzle. There will be missing pieces but the overall picture (or mosaic) is quite cohesive.

I am certain we shall find out more perhaps by next year after the U.S. elections in November. Once the truth is exposed, I reckon there will be a huge turbulence in geopolitics between the superpowers.

From a spiritual perspective, the chaos unleashed this year is a wake up call from God (or Providence for agnostics)  to nations and individuals as He allows everything that can be shaken will be shaken this year.

Like in the ancient times when Israel turns away from godliness to sinfulness, God allows a tide of foreign enemies to besiege the nation. And He did save Israel after they cried out in prayer and repented of their sins.

To the existential question posed by a non-believing colleague, why does a just God allow innocent people to be slaughtered in massacres like the Japanese invasion of China?

My answer is this: God is a loving God but He knows what will bring His children to their senses only after great tragedies (which are usually part of their ancestral sins, their own spiritual blindness or worldly distractions).

Shutdowns & Time Eternal

Similarly, during this period of global shutdowns and lockdown when families and individuals have to stay home, it is a time to reflect on our lives: look into our fragile mortality, our fears and the storehouse of inner resources to withstand the prospect of a new, uncertain world filled with dangers and death.

Most of all, we will hopefully spend days and weeks reviewing  our purpose on earth. The wake-up call has come early at the start of a new decade. But not too soon in God's perfect timing.
