Isaiah 45:7, “I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the Lord, do all these things.”

Okay, this is one of those times I would toss out a question to a brother or two to see what they thought because I needed to formulate my thoughts.  Respond to me what you believe!  I welcome the feedback.  I welcome the thought that someone is reading this blog.  Here goes….

One of the events that had to occur as birth pains or the beginning of sorrows was pestilences (notice the word is plural!).  Remember Jesus was answering the question His disciples were asking about the sign of His return.  Pestilence is defined as an epidemic disease that is contagious, lethal, and devastating. “The God who protects and blesses is also the God who sends disaster and pestilence when it accomplishes His righteous purposes on earth.” (A statement I found on the internet – so it must be right.)  Look back at the statement out of Isaiah, “I make peace and create calamity!”  So, if the statement from the internet is correct, my question pertains to God’s righteous purpose on earth.  What is His righteous purpose?

What about the coronavirus?  Is it sent by God and why would He do that if He did?  If He sent it, He sent it as a warning or it is judgment against sin, or both.  God’s desire is that we give up idolatry and place Him first in our heart and worship only Him.  If that is not done, He brings judgment just as Hosea’s object lesson showed us.  This virus is a world-wide happening that needs to be taken seriously.  Our Heavenly Father desires that no one perish without a personal relationship with Him.  This seems to be another wake up call for people to turn to Him for their salvation; He is the only way to eternal life in heaven.  It seems to also be a wakeup call for those who have given their life to Him to get serious about their walk with Him.
