Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
So let's look into the prophetic word of God in the bible for the answer to this dreaded, contagious, disastrous and deadly Covid19.
2 Tim 3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Since God is the same yesterday, today and forever, by reading the OT we can have a good knowledge and understanding of His will, ways, attributes, judgment and wisdom.
From historical records we can appreciate God's love, mercy and longsuffering while dealing, teaching, protecting and chastising His people - the Israelites then and the Christians now.
2 Pet 1:21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
God the loving Father
Psalms 103:2-4 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Since He created Adam to be His son, He had displayed His Fatherly love, mercy and longsuffering to help man to be saved and then to perfection.
God's Will
I Tim 1:5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,
He gave commandments so that all those keeping them will be able to perfect their love for God and for one another.
Adam and Eve were given the command not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which they failed to keep.
God's Plan
I Pet 4:1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
It is God's plan that man will be able to cease from sinning when they had suffered as Christ had suffered for mankind.
After Eve had sinned, she was cursed with excruciating pain during childbirth (not in the case of animals), so that she will desire and love her husband and submit herself to his rule.
Gen 3:16 To the woman He said: "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."
Just like the childbirth pain for Eve, is the dreadful Covid19 the chastisement of God for our correction and salvation?
Acts 17:11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.
Just like the Bereans, we need to study His words carefully to check the accuracy so that with the revelation of His truth we will be able to get the correct interpretation.
Note - unfortunately many Christians today, without the word of truth, are making all types of conclusions and as expected many false christs are claiming all types of visions, revelations and prophecies.
