It Is No Coincidence that COVID-19 Is Happening at Easter
By Julio Severo
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams appeared on CBN News where he
said about the COVID-19 pandemic: “No coincidence that this is happening at
Easter.”
Yet, most people are too worried to give
attention to fantasies. This is the reason it is more important than ever to
value the Easter season as the season where Jesus was sacrificed as an innocent
Lamb to deliver us from eternal death and angels of death.
In the ancient Egypt, God commanded a
death plague to chastise Egyptian idolaters, and God’s people were protected by
putting the blood of a lamb in their doors and by staying in their houses. They
obeyed and were protected.
Jesus is such Lamb in such perilous time.
And His blood has power.
Might there be some prophetic meaning in
what is happening? Might God be allowing
this epidemic as a consequence of sins of people and nations?
Dr. Mike Evans has commented,
As I was preparing this message in my
prayer room, I picked up an old Bible. I have several dozen Bibles, and a note
fell out of this old Bible and as I read it, I was trembling and crying. Here
is why. It was written in 1986 on a Tuesday. I was having breakfast with a
minister by the name of David Wilkerson at the Embassy Suites near the Dallas
Fort-Worth Airport. The letter he showed me was addressed to Rev. Richard
Dortch who was running PTL under Jim Bakker. It said, “Rev. Dortch, within 12
months from the date of this letter the judgment of God will fall on PTL. You
are fornicating with brick and stone. Flee now and repent. Bats will fly
through the empty building.” A month later, I was with Dortch, and he mocked David’s
letter saying, “if I fornicate it will not be with brick and stone. These attacks
aren’t against me or Jim Bakker, they are against God.”
It was exactly 12 months to the day that
The Charlotte Observer broke the PTL scandal. Twelve months to the day of Dave
Wilkerson’s letter. But he said something else to me that I wrote down. He
said, “I see a plague coming on the world and the bars, church, and government
shut down. The plague will hit New York City and shake it like it has never
been shaken. The plague is going to force prayerless believers into radical
prayer, into their Bibles and repentance will be the cry from true men of God
in the pulpit. And out of it will come a third Great Awakening that will sweep
America and the world.” —David Wilkerson.
Did you see what he just said? The
greatest coronavirus plague is in New York City right now, shaking it like it
has never been shaken.
What can we do? People need to know that
Jesus died to deliver them from sin and hell. Worse than coronavirus is to
depart to eternity without Jesus’ salvation. But how will people know about
this salvation if we do not speak about what Jesus did on the cross for them?
In 2018, Trump
celebrated Easter, Passover… and Easter Bunny, mixing everything as if they
were of equal value. I doubt that he will celebrate the useless Easter Bunny in
2020.
Coronavirus is bigger than Easter Bunny
and fantasies. But Jesus is bigger than coronavirus and all diseases and death.
His blood is powerful to protect and save. So let us run to Him.
In time and out of time, we should proclaim
and demonstrate the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, healing the sick and
expelling demons, exactly as Jesus taught us.
