Why did God “not tell us” about Covid?

Disclaimer: This article contains some speculation for thinking purposes and in order to help us rightly divide the Scripture if a certain case were true. Ultimately, Deuteronomy 29:29 and Proverbs 3:5-6.

I once heard a pastor while preaching ask something like if there are all these prophets, why didn’t any of them forecast the onslaught of COVID?

I guess he was having some trouble with all the YouTube prophets etc prophesying this and that, blessings and riches and easily spoken prophesies and none of tidings of hardship. And to an extent he is absolutely correct. Because we see in the Bible the prophets of God didn’t always come with “all is well” tidings. Some were of impending judgement.

So this brings us back to the question, why didn’t God tell us about COVID? We cannot say that He didn’t. As we have not heard from every single prophet across the globe. Yet, even if He didn’t, so what, I don’t think He was obligated to.

But certainly He would say something one might say according to Amos 3:7. “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.”

Let’s suppose that no prophet across the globe knew about COVID. Since God cannot lie, it would then mean that He God did not send COVID. Because if He truly did, then He’d tell His prophets. It would then mean that if it is not of God then it is of the enemy. And the enemy when he presents the Word of God to us, he twists it to deceive us. But he himself must actually abide by the Word (Job 1). As he is ruled by his pride, has no creativity and counterfeits all that God does in order to appear as God, he copies. The devil does forecast his intentions with his prophets. Today, these are in the entertainment industry, the news organizations and the world of much finance, health and politics. Forecasts of COVID came through the mouth of Bill Gates, 2012 London Olympics Opening and many more. Just search the internet.

I for one am more inclined to believe that a prophet of God did actually know; the prophecy maybe just didn’t hit some of our ears and to the ears it did hit, it was perhaps ignored. Lord knows. Yet even if this is all a surprise to every believer across the face of the earth, it certainly doesn’t mean that prophecy no longer is alive and well, and it definitely doesn’t mean that God is not faithful to His Word and finally, it absolutely doesn’t mean He abandoned us in these times. God is FAITHFUL and He will never leave us or forsake us.

If you are struggling to know the truth in the midst of all the confusion, just seek Jesus. Leave what you don’t understand alone or at least set aside for a bit, and enjoy the company of Jesus, through praise and prayer. We relax with Him just like we’d relax with a loved one whom we enjoy their company. You know like when you don’t feel like stressing over the things of the world but just want to hang out with someone you enjoy and talk about pleasant memories and future plans? Sort of like that with God, but more, because He’s God and He doesn’t get tired of our wanting to be with Him. By the way, not to say that we aren’t supposed to talk to God about what’s bothering us, we absolutely can, yet we can rest assured that this is not the only conversation we can have with Him, and sometimes we can just “cool out” or relax with Him, worship Him, adore Him, be silent with Him and in turn just have Him love on us. He will always strengthen those who diligently seek Him.

AN APOSTOLIC REBUKE AND ENTREATY FOR THOSE BLAMING THE PROPHETS


by Johnny Enlow

Though I am often called Prophet by others, my primary gift is apostolic. My prophetic gift supports that gift but is not my primary. Without further explanation, I want to speak out of that apostolic perspective on the matter of this election and what the prophets in some kind of consensus spoke. To remind all, there has never been such a prophetic agreement on a matter and this includes many prophetic voices from especially Australia and Africa— but really the whole world. It is not “ironic” or “coincidental” that beginning in the year 2020, where prophetically “the decade of the mouth” was highlighted (associated with understanding the Hebrew calendar 5780-5789), that the whole world becomes wrongfully masked, churches are forced to shut down as non-essential and the prophetically consensus passage of the year was 2 Chronicles 20:20— where hearkening to His prophets to prosper, while overcoming an invading enemy of staggering proportions is the theme. Beginning January 20, 2021 the Jezebel spirit resident in the Body of Christ began attacking the prophetic in an unprecedented fashion with some of the most inane statements imaginable coming from even significant leaders. They will have their own consequences and “learning curve” with God and I will just leave it at that. Meanwhile, please read below.


YOU DIDN’T NEED PROPHETS FOR THIS ONE


The anti-prophet insanity is aggravated by the reality that this last election and the present process doesn’t even require prophets to get it right. God in His kindness has spoken through them anyway— BUT YOU DIDN’T NEED THIS, IF YOU USED ANY DISCERNMENT AT ALL. YOU STILL DON’T IF YOU WILL USE YOUR SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT.


Next, I am going to give you truth from 3 points that continue to make it obvious how you are to respond to election matters and it is for sure NOT about giving your strength to attacking/correcting the prophets or the prophetic. What a pawn of darkness if you remain in that mode.


POINT #1: DJT’S TRACK RECORD


You may have not appreciated our president’s tweets or confrontational style but if you stick to sheer legislative matters we have never had a more righteous leader. He is not someone who just did the pro-life talk but he actually marched with the pro-lifers ( a first for a POTUS), brought in 3 pro-life Supreme Court Justices, hundreds of other judges, amended every legal thing he could towards that end including defunding the evil-operated Planned Parenthood organization.


He also became the most pro-Israel president on record and did the incredibly courageous thing of recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, as well as multiple other mini-maneuvers that strengthened their capability to defend themselves. He also was the engine behind the unprecedented “Abrahamic Accords” that occurred right in the midst of the “hit jobs” on him of the deep state through the virus and through the related attempts on the global economy.


He also became a world hero for believers around the world with his pro-religious freedom stands. You have no idea how large this matter looms as Christians around the world are now in fear of what it means that he is not yet visibly in power.


DJT advanced in taking on sex trafficking, human trafficking and routing the drug trade as no president in history. Even the released “official” numbers of those rescued is at 10 times the best of any other presidency, but real numbers will come out that exponentially dwarf those numbers.
His pro-economic freedom for us and the nations was also unprecedented, all the while holding off the deep state from killing the world economy. The truth of this goes far beyond the record unemployment numbers, record Wall Street numbers, record employment for blacks and really all minorities— but those numbers at least speak into it as well.
For times sake, I won’t go into about 10 more significant legal acts, emergency orders and otherwise just or righteous moves that he made. If you are a believer and you do not see that DJT was and is a gift from God for us you are beyond deaf and blind and fall in the category of brainwashed and programmed. Of course, NONE who are such know they are, but only await the day the bucket of cold water is thrown in their face. It did not nor does it require a prophetic word to know he was God sent and that he is not done, and if not, seeing the good he did could get literally undone in a matter of months.


POINT #2: BELIEVERS AND PATRIOTS RESPONSE TO GOD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS


Now beyond the above point, there is the matter that never in world history have so many millions believed, prayed, repented, marched or otherwise contended not for a cult-personality but for a man who represented Justice, Life, Freedom, Prosperity, Patriotism and general godliness. The sheer numbers involved in this push for good is staggering going beyond 100 million at a national level and approaching that number on the international level as entire Christian populations such as of China, and of Iran fasted and prayed for our president to return to power that they might hope to see a day of greater freedom. THERE WAS NO LACK OF PRAYER AND REPENTANCE and that lie needs to stop being peddled. If desperately wicked Sodom and Gomorrah would be spared for 10 righteous even in Old Testament times where is the logic for tens of millions and perhaps hundreds of millions being ignored!!! STOP BLAMING PROPHETS FOR AGREEING WITH THIS!!


POINT #3: BIDEN’S PERSONAL CORRUPTION, POLICIES, AND THEFT


If the above two points were not enough to convince that YOU DIDN’T NEED PROPHETS for this one then consider the “new administration” of JB. When Kim Clement prophesied of “two presidents” and called one a “double-minded” man, not sure but that he might have been seeing that he was in fact a “double” as neither his face features, his walk, or his signature match from past years and POTUS himself was pointing that out to us for some reason. For those believers who voted for JB please go see his executive orders, his family corruption, his being bought by China and his involvement in the most blatant and criminal electoral fraud in world history and tell me why was it alright for you to partner with raw evil in this fashion? There is a difference in being imperfect as DJT was and is and being an enabler and direct participant of the most nefarious level of evil imaginable. DJT reportedly lost up to two billion dollars of his net worth by accepting the presidency and J.B. seems to have gained at least that from Communist Party sources from China. DOES IT TAKE A PROPHETIC VOICE to know what is right here? And you want prophets that hang on to what God has said — never mind the Holy Spirit-sense to JB being out and DJT being in, to apologize because evil seems presently to still have a hold?!!! You are either a blind guide as Jesus called the Pharisees or projecting on to the prophets your present disappointment with God. Snap out of it!


LET’S COME TOGETHER


Admittedly, you will sense a significant degree of righteous indignation in my post that does not always tend towards reconciliatory interaction. However, I am here going to attempt to shift from apostolic corrective mode to brotherly entreating of you who bash the prophets to properly funnel your anger and disappointment into what is beneficial. I won’t even ask you to believe the prophets. We already lost you there. How about just believe in a God who champions Life, Liberty, Justice and Freedom. How about believe in a God who does hear the prayers and cries of His saints and is still willing to move— even when it seems too late. Is that not His essential trademark? He doesn’t rescue Israel until Pharaoh is so on their heels that Israel turns on their Prophet Moses— and says “Why did you ever make us hope?”. People not willing to be honest with God turn on the prophet who fed their hopes. Sound familiar? He didn’t heal Lazarus when He could so that He might resurrect Lazarus. He had Elisha and Elijah both resurrect promised children— rather than just keeping them from dying. Jairus’ daughter was not “healed” until she was dead. And so forth and so on. If January 20 was a “death” day for you how about getting back into the saddle of faith in a good God who is always still at work no matter what the date is?


How about believing in a God who doesn’t just wink at massive fraud, corruption and criminality in a voting process? God doesn’t always say “obey governmental authority”. Our nation would NEVER have been formed if that had been followed. In Acts the apostles were clear “we are going to obey God not man” even if they faced death. Daniel and the three Hebrew children were not just going to bow. Mordecai would NOT bow to Haman— though he was “government” to him. Even if you don’t believe in prophets this present fake, evil and unsanctioned by God administration is to be resisted at minimum in every spiritual and verbal and voting way possible.


If you can’t believe with the FAITHful that God still has a Cyrus that is not yet finished— and behind the scenes being positioned for the next part of his assignment— then at minimum turn your fury away from the FAITHful and target Satan and his evil destructive agenda for USA and the nations. STOP CONGRATULATING JB!!! Rescind any congratulations you have previously given! It is personally way more serious TO YOU than you know. You cannot congratulate blatant evil! Wake up!! The LEAST important matter presently on the planet is “prophetic accountability” and you are allowing yourself to be tool of the enemy if you don’t see it. Can you not see the “bigger fish to fry”? Can you get back into contending for your nation and save the bashing of prophets still contending for your nation— for a day when your very nation’s free existence is no longer at stake? If the ground around you unexplainably shakes know that God is pointedly giving you a sign to heed this message.

Historically Accurate

The Bible is historically accurate. Since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, historians were able to compare Biblical writings of what we have today with that of the manuscripts found. The scrolls prove that the Bible have been extraordinarily preserved.

Contrary to the teaching of a certain religious ideology whose scriptures were written after the Bible, Jesus was certainly crucified and not evicted from the cross as their scriptures would like to claim.

To be unbiased in judgement on the Bible’s credibility means applying the same rules of acceptance as one would for other historical topics. To dismiss the Bible based on reason that the evidence is not convincing would call for equal judgement of other historical topics since the Bible’s historical backings far surpasses theirs in number and or witnesses.

So I was reading an article and the writer penned “that doesn’t mean the original copy was history…”. As I understand, his point is that even though we have these scrolls, doesn’t mean they are true or the accounts were actual events. True. But he forgets or ignores the Bible contains a lot of prophetic writing. So if we have writings predating the fulfillment of prophecies, then certainly we can credit the manuscripts to be authentic and accounting for actual events!

Some would claim that people can just read a prophecy and purposely make it happen. Okay then, what a stretch! Here’s a list of fulfilled prophecies. Isaiah is well documented from the Dead Sea Scrolls. So looking at that alone would suffice. It would take some superb directing to orchestrate a betrayer, the crucifixion between thieves, the beatings, and Jesus miraculous healings during His ministry etc to make this all believable. Not even Steven Spielberg could pull it off. What a challenge it would be for those who like to claim that people of the past were simple minded!

I am excited about the Bible. Are you? I trust that the reader will do a quick search on the topic and find for themselves the stats associated with the discovery of the scrolls. Don’t take my word for it.  Look it up and see, and while you are at it, if you’re not saved consider trusting in the Lord today. 🙂

Be blessed!
