The Real Cause of the Covid-19 Pandemic and What to do About It

There are a couple of theories which attempt to explain the origin of the Covid-19 “pandemic.”  The official story is that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was transmitted from a bat to a bat-eating Chinese person in a wet-market in Wuhan, China.  Those who believe the official government story about Covid-19, or the official story about most anything else for that matter, would be considered gullible if gullible was an actual word.  Another more plausible explanation is that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was produced in the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab using gain-of-function research funding by the evil Anthony Fauci.

While the second theory appears to have compelling evidence to support it, it does not explain the real cause of the Covid-19 “pandemic.”  It is the Bible, not virus researchers, that reveals the true cause of this pandemic which has allegedly killed hundreds of thousands of people in the US.  Whether it has actually killed anywhere near that many people is highly questionable, but for the purpose of this article, let’s just assume that Covid-19 actually is a deadly pandemic.

What then is the true cause of the Covid-19 pandemic?  The answer is found in the book of Exodus written about 3,500 years ago.  The real reason that our nation is suffering with this pandemic is because God is judging it for refusing and failing to properly worship Him.  In other words, this pandemic is a result of God’s people not presenting their bodies as living sacrifices to the LORD as an act of worship of Him in His true churches (Rom 12:1).  The proof of this claim follows.

When Israel dwelt as slaves in the land of Egypt, the Lord send Moses to Pharaoh to tell him to let His people go so that they could journey three days’ into the desert to worship God.  The reason Moses gave Pharaoh for the need to go make sacrifices unto the LORD in the wilderness was to prevent a pestilence from falling upon them.

“And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.” (Exo 5:3)

A pestilence is “any fatal epidemic disease, affecting man or beast, and destroying many victims” (OED).  In other words, the Israelites needed to go worship God according to His commandment lest (to prevent or guard against) God afflict them with a pandemic.

In Moses’ day God commanded His people to worship Him in a certain place and in a particular way, and the penalty for not doing so was being afflicted with a pandemic.  God likewise commands His people today to worship Him in His churches in the manner in which He has prescribed: “they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (Joh 4:24).  Christians in God’s churches are to “keep the ordinances, as [Paul the apostle] delivered them to [us]” (1Co 11:2), and are to be “not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (Heb 10:25).  These verses clearly teach that we are to assemble together to worship God in the manner in which He has commanded us.

Are people in this country worshipping the LORD in His churches today?  At best, only a very tiny fraction of them are.  How do I know that?  These two looking eyes of mine declare it to me every Sunday morning on my drive to church, and they have for all my life.  Just compare the traffic on Sunday mornings to the traffic on Monday mornings, and you will see it too.  On Sunday mornings the highways and streets are nearly empty, and most of the limited number of cars on the road are not headed to true churches; whereas on Monday mornings the roads are jam-packed with people heading to work.  My own observation tells me that far less than 10% of people in my town are attending a church of any kind on Sunday morning, and to my knowledge that observation holds true across this country.

If the penalty for not worshiping God according to His word was a pandemic in the days of Moses, why would it be a stretch to believe that the same penalty applies to our nation today?  Even in the New Testament God killed people for not worshiping Him according to the due order.  For example, members of the church in Corinth were smitten with sickness and death because they had turned the Lord’s Supper into a drunken feast, as it is written, “For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep” (1Co 11:30).

Once a nation has been judged by God with a pandemic, what should their response be?  Should they lock themselves in their homes and cancel church for fear of catching and spreading the disease?  NO!  What saith the scripture?  When a nation is afflicted with a pandemic, God’s people should respond to it, not by cowering in fear in their homes, but by going to church to worship God and beseeching Him for protection from it.

“If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.” (2Ch 20:9)

Doesn’t the Bible teach the principle of quarantining individuals to stop the spread of infectious diseases?  Yes, it does.  But it teaches that THE SICK are to be quarantined, not the healthy!

“If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:” (Lev 13:4)

For the past two weeks my wife has been sick with Covid-19 (according to the test at the ER) and pneumonia.  She has not been in church for the past two Sundays in order to not spread it to others (and because last Sunday she was too weak to get out of bed).  We also have other members who are currently suffering with what appears to be Covid-19.  So what is our church’s response to the pandemic now that we are personally suffering under it?  Our response is the same as it has been from the very beginning in March 2020: those of us who are well will assemble together, worship God, and call upon Him to heal our brethren and to deliver us from this “pandemic” and the evil, tyrannical government response to it.  Those of us who are sick will stay home just like we did prior to the world going insane in 2020.

If the children of God across this country would repent, turn from their sins, and present their bodies living sacrifices in God’s house, I am certain God would heal our land of both the virus and the tyranny the state has exercised over us under the guise of protecting us from it.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2Ch 7:14)

But until we see national repentance, I don’t expect to see this land healed of the tyranny and oppression we are suffering under, even if the current “pandemic” eventually fades away.
