God did not create Corona Virus. Jesus spoke in Matthew 24:7 about pestilences ( plural), earthquakes, wars, rumors of wars in divers places. Revelation speaks of the oceans dying. It's prophetic. We are to be aware of the signs of the times. Start witnessing as the Spirit leads. You gotta be available first. President Trump is in contact with several American churches. Blessed is the nation that blesses Israel. Not many politicians or candidates have spoken favorably about Israel. If we don't believe that..we're in for a rough ride my friends.
God's will is not the only will at work in the world. Satan has a will. He causes many bad things. He still thinks he can defeat Jesus.

Paul in 1 Thess 2:14, 16 - For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, EVEN AS THEY HAVE OF THE JEWS: WHO BOTH KILLED THE LORD JESUS, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and THEY PLEASE NOT GOD, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: FOR THE WRATH IS COME UPON THEM TO THE UTTERMOST.
So is Paul cursed for speaking the truth about those who killed jesus?

Paul was cursed but after he picked himself up off the ground and was blind...he said LORD. He knew he was in the presence of someone bigger than himself. In chapter 9 verse 15, Jesus says to Ananias, "go thy way: for he (Paul) is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear My Name before the GENTILES, and Kings, and the children of Israel. For I will show him how great things he must suffer for My names sake.

Paul was killing Christians as a Roman. He killed Stephen. He was also born Jewish. He was very learned too. After Paul's miraculous conversion he tried to connect with the Jews but they might of been wary of his sincerity. It took time. He hit the same wall repeatedly. He went away to ponder and hear from Jesus. After that he began ministry to the Gentiles. I think he had to let his old life go.
Yes Paul killed Jews then Jesus dropped in and said Why are you persecuting Me?! He left Paul in the dark to think about it. Our president has that same carnal problem: you smack me & I smack you back twice. Jesus is Alpha & Omega. Send your email & I'll send a timetable Of Paul to you.
