Is COVID-19 an End Times Plague?

."

This question also is on the minds of some believers. Charismatic Christians are ever on the look-out for signs of the Antichrist. While we are told to watch and stay alert for our Master's coming, certain people are fixated on finding out when they'll be "raptured

Christ's parables certainly show what we should be doing. He told one regarding three servants who received money while their master was away obtaining a kingdom. Luke 19:15-17 (BBE) says, "And when he came back again, having got his kingdom, he gave orders for those servants to whom he had given the money to come to him, so that he might have an account of what business they had done. And the first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your pound has made ten pounds.' And he said to him, 'You have done well, O good servant: because you have done well in a small thing you will have authority over ten towns.'"

What is this investment we are to make? It is to bring in many people into Christ's kingdom. That is done by preaching the gospel, not by obsessing about who will be the antichrist.

All Christians should be doing what Paul wrote in Romans 10:14 (BBE). "But how will they give worship to him in whom they have no faith? and how will they have faith in him of whom they have not had news? and how will they have news without a preacher?"

One of Satan's successful strategies is infiltration of the churches. That's why Jesus told the parable of the wheat and the tares in Matthew 13:37 (BBE) which reads, "And he made answer and said, 'He who puts the good seed in the earth is the Son of man; And the field is the world; and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom; and the evil seeds are the sons of the Evil One;"

By getting Christians distracted with the minutia of prophecy, the Devil has taken people's eyes off the main reason we're still here in this world. We must preach the gospel as well as expecting  Christ to return. I know he might not come back in my lifetime but I'll do what I can to get the truth out into the world.

If Christ delays his return by Saturday, I hope to post about not being fooled again. Fool me once; shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me.
