While there have been very deadly pandemics before, Covid-19 is the first one to engulf the whole world at once forcing a global lock-down.

How we will meet the plagues will be determined by our current spiritual status during the beginning of sorrows which is now. We are in the beginning of sorrows according to Matthew 24. While there have been very deadly pandemics before, covid-19 is the first one to engulf the whole world at once forcing a global lock-down.
Like the 10 plagues of Egypt there are 10 plagues now we will contrast the two.
The first three plagues, water turned to blood, frogs and lice fell on both God's people and Egypt.
Therefore the first three plagues for this time, famine, pestilence and earthquakes, will fall on both God's people and those who refuse to obey God.
The coronavirus is a pestilence along with the famine and earthquakes that are threatening the world today. This is where we are now in earths history. During the first three plagues, God's people are to prepare themselves, get ready to meet the onslaught that is to come. It is during the beginning of sorrows, the first three plagues that God will seal his people so they are not affected by the last seven plagues that will fall on the ungodly.
After God is finished sealing his people during the first three plagues, which is the beginning of sorrows, persecution of God's people will begin. Many will be martyred for the truth. Those in rebellion to God's law will enforce the idol sabbath, which is Sunday sacredness by law. Those who do not rest on Sunday will be looked upon as enemies of the environment and will be put to death for the greater good of humanity.
During this time the gospel will be preached as never before and those who have never heard the true gospel of Christ will get an opportunity to hear it. When everyone would have had an opportunity to receive the truth and would have made their choice, probation will close on the entire world.
When probation closes on the world the seven last plagues will fall on all those who have rejected God's word and his Seventh Day Sabbath.
We are on the verge of the persecution of God's chosen people. Now is the time for all those who have the truth regarding God's word and the Seventh Day Sabbath to get ready. Put off the old man and take on the new. We must at this time be clothed in the righteousness of Christ.
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. We have a work to do, be not afraid, for God will help us…
Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, the coronavirus is a call to action, a call to wake up, to get up, to shape up and do the work we were intended to do. We must warn men and women of the soon coming of Jesus Christ and the impending danger. We must share the truth that has been hidden for ages.
