Just Saying
indianabob:
Thanks Dennis,
I just thought it was very timely considering what we understand is coming someday in the near future.
It appears to some extent that this is the first time most of the parties involved are serious about working together.
No partisan politics intended. It is just news about serious world events leading toward the prophesied "end time".
An event in which those of us on the forum are very interested.
Of course we know that we have to be patiently keeping ourselves ready.
Hey it's only been about 2000 years. What's a decade more or less...? ;)
Kindly offered, Indiana Bob

Matt.24.42 this verse has to mean, the moment you die, is the time the Lord comes. So do not be caught sleeping spiritually before that moment comes.

I saw the reports on youtube and came here quickly to see if anyone was talking about it and sure enough here we are. I must confess, I am fearful. Mostly for my young daughter as I find myself in a bad spot as my father in law lives with us and we have nurses come to the house regularly to care for him. My wife also takes him to the doctors and the hospital regularly for tests, right into the lions den. I don't have a lot of money and would not be able to afford any sort of long term emergency kit. I guess this is a true test of faith and I seem to be failing miserably. God forgive me.
James 5:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
I pray this thing is contained soon. I ask you all to please join me in that prayer. Thank you and God Bless.

It could be a matter of surviving up to a month without supermarkets. You don't need to eat well. Just good enough for everyone to survive. Things like ramen noodles do not cost much.
Or this thing may just not get out of hand. We'll have to wait and see.
But this is a little unnerving. I think we'll know more about what to expect in a few weeks.
I do join you in you fervent prayers for all of us and our families.

Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
So don't panic, we will just observe, no doubt it's a punishment from God -- Last year China planned to rewrite the Bible and Quran, forced Christians to replace Jesus pictures with images of Mao and Xi Jinping.
Rev 22
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,
19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Rev 18
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
Rev 18 is talking about Babylon, but it's also oddly accurate for the current situation in China.
"the smoke of her burning" -- there are reports of heavy smog, according to a crematorium worker, Wuhan crematoriums are burning bodies 24/7 (https://twitter.com/inteldotwav/status/1226267582740811777?s=21)
"Standing afar off" -- Now it makes sense why the kings and traders are standing afar -- because of the virus.
"in one hour is she made desolate, great riches is come to nought" -- currently approx. 70 cities are on lockdown, even Beijing and Shanghai have turned into ghost towns.
Ray taught that the Babylon is the church and we should come out of her. I am not sure if these verses can also apply to China, it's just oddly accurate.
