Scripture: Acts 28 v 1 - 6: "And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
2 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god."
I suppose you are wondering what this portion of scripture has to do with the Hantavirus. First of all the Hebrew word "hanta" means fake, false, sham, rubbish. This gives us a clue to the origin. It is not some rat or mice droppings from Korea at all.
The Hantavirus is manufactured in a laboratory and the active ingredients are the venom of two deadly snakes. The King Cobra and the Krait. They are linked to Coronavirus to enhance the respiratory problems experienced with Covid. Both those snake's venom produce similar breathing problems as seen in the pandemic.
For born again Christians the testimony of Paul and the viper in the above verses is encouraging. The snake bite had no effect on him and it was witnessed by islanders who knew how deadly that viper venom was.
Mark 16 v 17-18: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
Jesus spoke these words before His Ascension, which we celebrate today. He said that we would not be harmed by snakes nor even scorpions, black widow spiders or tarantulas. We have immunity. Unless we do not have faith. It says in Job....That which you greatly fear shall come upon you. We can become stressed by a spider that we can kill with a flyswatter. Or a shoe.
This is how we can control our environment. Through absolute faith in Jesus' ability to protect us from harm. If He spoke it or it is written in the Word of God and we believe it absolutely then we are safe from harm.
The wicked rulers of this world have an agenda. They believe the world is overpopulated and it's their mandate to reduce the people to a.manageable number. They particularly don't like Christians and Jews so we are targets of their fears. They are actively planning to bring famine on large parts of the world right now. Just remember that our Father has not lost the recipe for Manna. He fed the Israelites for forty years with it and quails dropped into their midst. He produced water out of a rock in the desert for The many thousands of people and animals. Our God of miracles.
The evil rulers are buying up cattle farms and turning them into growing vegetables jnstead. They need to eliminate the best source of protein in an attempt to dumb us down so we don't see danger coming our way. Jesus warns us to not be deceived. Be alert to every way they try to decimate the world population.
The wicked don't believe in our God or our Bible but secretly fear both. If we are al! conveniently wiped out by their agents, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iranian Guard, Covid pandemic, famine or Hantavirus they think it will bring them peace of mind. It won't.
The first signs of Hantavirus on a cruise ship, the first three deaths got the head of WHO excited. He wanted to declare a global outbreak immediately. He is very much part of the plot but like a bad poker player he revealed his hand too soon. This is not a conspiracy theory, this is a real conspiracy being implemented by the usual suspects. They get their plans and orders at Davos every January. Of course a cruise ship with 4000 trapped passengers is an ideal starting point for spreading a virus. It just didn't work as planned.
Jesus wants to know what the enemy is planning so that we are not ignorant nor deceived. We must pray against evil intentions with what the Word of God says - that no weapon formed against us shall! prosper. Isaiah 54 v 17.
If you are born again, baptized in water and filled with the Holy Ghost you are a new creation, no longer "only human". You are seated in Christ in Heavenly places at the right hand of the Father. Your spirit is already home in Heaven. Whether you live or die your place in Heaven is assured. So fear nothing. Don't worry about leaving your family behind. Jesus cares for them and will adequately provide.
In Revelation it warns that In the Great Tribulation, after the Christians are caught up and gone from Earth, there will be pandemics and other woes. It will be a truly horrible time here. It's called the Wrath of The Lamb. His anger is upon those who rejected the sacrifice of Jesus for their salvation. Many Jews will go through it but they have not been discarded by God. They are His Chosen ones and their eyes will be opened at the right moment. Those who believe that they have replaced the Jews in God's heart need to rethink that misconception. God will never abandon her.
The Bible in Colossians 1 clearly states that the Church is the BODY of Jesus Christ and that He is the HEAD of the body. The Rapture of the BODY is to join head and body together to make the Bridegroom. John 3 v 29. The complete Bridegroom rescues His Bride after the Battle of Armageddon. Revelation 22 The Spirit and the Bride say Come quickly Lord Jesus. Long after the Rapture.
Revelation 21 v 9-12 John is shown that the Bride, the wife of the Lamb, is made up of the 12 tribes of Israel. The New Jerusalem. It is not the Church. We all need to get the correct spiritual identity. Jesus says Be not deceived. False doctrines in the Church are a much worse pandemic than the Hantavirus or Covid. Do your own research in the Word because those who are spreading false teachings will find that their names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Prayer: Heavenly Father we worship You in Spirit and In truth. We want to walk in Your truth because it is the only safe way. Help us to overcome the dangers on our path and to witness to those who are lost and afraid. We send blessings to those who celebrate the Ascension of Jesus today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
