Daniel 12:And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Again, at no other time in history have our scientists been scrambling to play catch up with a virus which shows no sign of slowing down, and which has now mutated in so many ways that we are firing scatter shots, hoping that some antiviral would stick. It is true that former pandemics did wreak havoc on populations, but the speed at which new viruses, and diseases are emerging causes great concern.
The global economy was shuttered for a long while, bringing us to our knees, and yet we do not seem to grasp what is taking place. Our supply chains have become so clogged up that, merchants, and buyers alike are scrambling to fill the void whereas in times past, such situations scarcely existed. Thus, with the convergence of all of these problems two important questions are now being asked:
Are these things a passing, temporary blip, and will we be going back to normal? The short answer is that we have now entered into a permanently unsettled state, that will not be going back to “normal” as we know it. That’s because the four angels standing at the four corners of the earth holding back the winds of strife have already begun to loosen their grip, which is the reason why the problems of earth are intensifying as they are, and that’s why the Bible study is titled: “The Train Has Left the Station”.
Revelation 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
