The COVID-19 pandemic has led WHO to declare the world in "uncharted territory." With a mortality rate of 3.4% and unprecedented global panic, this crisis has sparked major economic turbulence, including a $6 trillion drop in U.S. stock markets.

While COVID-19's mortality rate is lower than SARS (9.63%) and MERS (34.45%), it is more contagious and 30 times deadlier than the flu, particularly threatening elderly and immunocompromised individuals.

Bible prophecy indicates this may be part of the "beginning of sorrows" that Jesus described would precede the "great tribulation." Four key signs characterize this period:

1. Religious Deception

• False teachers preaching "another Jesus"
• Represented by a white horse rider with bow in Revelation

2. Wars and Global Conflicts

• Current regional conflicts intensifying
• Three major powers prophesied to emerge: king of the North, king of the South, and kings from the east
• Symbolized by red horse rider with sword

3. Famine

• Represented by black horse rider
• Current locust swarms in Africa threatening food security

4. Pestilences and Natural Disasters

• Symbolized by pale horse rider named "Death"
• Recent disease outbreaks (COVID-19, MERS, SARS) originating from animals
• Increasing frequency of earthquakes, storms, and climate events

The pandemic has exposed concerning human behaviors including panic buying, price gouging, and hoarding of supplies. These challenges present an opportunity to seek God while there is still time.
