Yes indeed, sister. I do not ponder for very long on it, just enough to give me a few thoughts. Such as...
With stockpiling of weaponry and ammunition in America, and with the economy and jobs severely affected by lockdown procedures, with this leading to near starvation for some families, and supposing the pandemic cannot be controlled any other way, and the guv not willing to let it run and do its worst, thusly the austerity continues until some folks just cannot cope any more, and they see stealing food as the only way of survival, at gunpoint of course, maybe stealing money, cars etc., maybe forming into groups or gangs, living in forests like Robin Hood, robbing the rich so that their families can eat, and so on and so forth.
I believe some futuristic films, which I never watch, portray such a time, when the world is unrecognisable compared to what it is today. A forewarning? Some sort of weird prophecy?

This same pattern can be perceived by reading or listening to Eusebius of Caesarea's Church history, written in the 4th-century, giving a chronological account of the developments in Early Christianity from the 1st century to his day.
One can see how the wave of persecutions arose sometimes as it were from nowhere, but they came and eased.

"He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending *evil angels* ... (this means messangers of calamity and trouble)
When he slew them, then they sought him:
and they returned and enquired early after God."

John UK wrote:
The Lord knows all these things. He knows who his friends are, and he knows who his enemies are.

At the same time he *does not know* those that say Lord, Lord, in which, even having the correct theology, his mark of ownership is not evident by their praxis.

Trust you are keeping well.

Greetings Sister B,
1. The problem with using data is, how do you know the data is true? Someone has already argued that the data being pushed is false anyway, so now what does anyone do?
2. I'm not sure what you are saying about 9/11. Have you not seen private mobile phone footage of planes being flown into the twin towers?
The flight numbers of the crashed planes are available. Check out the flight list and see if you can find any of the passengers on those flights.

1. Sure, conspiracies exist, and sometimes it is showing wisdom to expose them for our own safety.
2. ... to say 9/11 did not happen as reported is a nonsense, tantamount to treason or insanity, one of the three.
... expose the works of darkness ...

It is far worse the epidemic of modern scholarship that has removed (banned?).... warning that endangers the modern 'church'

BUT now we see the problem, and the apologist referred to is James White. Check out Jeff Riddle's above article and the same sermons also here on SermonAudio. Note his conclusion.

how does a healthy person not wearing a mask put the high risk who do wear a mask at risk? does the high risk mask only work if the healthy wear one too? kinda like vaccines, if you get a vaccine and i don't, yours won't work?!?
I am 'selfish' if i choose not to wear a mask, even though i am healthy? crazy logic. I would tell the 'at risk' to boost their immune system with lots of zinc and vitamin c...that's how 'selfish' i am....

It is far worse the epidemic of modern scholarship that has removed (banned?) the Confessional Text; the KJV disappears in most Reformed Churches, and like the toppling of historical statues, done with not a little triumphalism. Those in the pew are duped into handling that version as though it required the wearing of rubber gloves...as some dusty archaic artefact or worse still something they have been told needs disposing of because they believe it carries some unknown spiritual health warning that endangers the modern 'church'!

... The pubs and bars here (which have all reopened here in England, albeit with restrictions, and the stores, too), are flourishing and busy, except in Leicester...
But churches like Met Tab, are open with a fully masked congregation, all spaced out, and yet still they cannot sing!!! This is iniquitous... the congregation still cannot sing God’s praises,... something very wrong here!!

"O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee,
I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things:
Thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth ...

For thou hast been a strength to the poor,
a strength to the needy in his distress,
a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat,
when the blast of the *terrible ones* is as a storm against the wall. "
(terrible ones = powerful or tyrannical:—mighty, oppressor, in great power)

Yet,
"Moreover... the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away: yea, it shall be..."
Isaiah 25
