Report Article
People are wondering why so much is happening in the world, one thing after another, with no end in sight. The virus has lasted for two years and now has variants. There are natural disasters and extreme record-breaking weather in unusual places. Earthquakes of 5.0 or greater are continually shaking the planet. Dozens of volcanoes are erupting simultaneously. Several weeks prior to writing this article an undersea volcano erupted off the coast of the South Pacific Island of Tonga. It was so powerful that a shock wave was heard halfway around the world, and a dramatic change in atmospheric pressure was recorded at all points globally. It sent a 50-foot tsunami over one of the small islands.
Among all the world events is pestilence. COViD falls into that category. It
serves as a good example of why so many horrible things are happening. God is trying to get people’s attention to acknowledge Him instead of trying to fix it by manmade inventions and solutions. Center for Disease Control(CDC) Director, Rochelle Walensky, has been quoted by several sources, “I want to be clear. We will not boost our way out of this pandemic.” She couldn’t be more correct! The solution is not more shots. One illness is going to lead to another, with greater intensity. Why do I believe this?
The Bible says that all kinds of calamities will happen prior to the Tribulation Period of God’s judgment on the world and the return of Christ. Matthew 24:8 compares these events to “birth pangs” that will increase with greater frequency and intensity. Yes, there have been fulfilled prophecies down through history and Jesus has not come back yet. The difference now is that all the prophecies are converging. Never before in history have all end time prophecies been fulfilled, or in the process of being fulfilled, in the same generation! Matthew 24:33 says, “...when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.”
Other times in history God has intervened in global affairs, to purge the world of sin and evil, bring judgment upon unrepentant and ungodly humanity, and with a desire for all people to call upon His grace. He did it with the flood of Noah’s time. He also did it at the Tower of Babel. People at that time were arrogant against God and said, “let us make a name for ourselves” totally leaving God out. (Genesis 12:4). God put a stop to it by confusing their languages (which happens to be the origin of all the different languages in the world).
What the world needs is not more human ”solutions” but a good dose of God’s grace injected into the hearts and souls of individuals. God’s grace is most definitely “safe and effective.”
The “birth pangs” of world events are going to continue into the Tribulation Period when they will culminate to the worst extreme in God’s wrath against those who have rejected God’s free gift of grace.
There is hope, however. Turn to God and accept His grace. He loves you and does not want you to have to face his judgment. He has provided a way out if you will just acknowledge that you need the Savior, Jesus Christ, God in human flesh, who died for your sins and rose from the dead. Humanity might provide “solutions” to spare your life, but only Jesus’s grace can save your soul, and give you eternal life in heaven.

Very nice article - you take the basics that I assume most Christians know and put it into meaningful context. You also give incentive and encouragement to any unbeliever reading this.
