CORONAVIRUS is a sign of the end of the world, and Jesus predicted the spread of the deadly disease as a mark of the apocalypse, conspiracy theorists have claimed.
More than 13 million people have been infected with coronavirus since the pandemic began this year, leading to the loss of more than 600,000 lives. But as if the disease was not bad enough in itself, some Christian conspiracy theorists also believe it could be a sign of the end of the world. Furthermore, some are even claiming that Jesus warned of a deadly pandemic which would bring with it the apocalypse.
According to conspiracy site End Times Truth, several verses in the Bible warn of “pestilences” – fatal epidemic diseases – as a sign of the coming apocalypse.
The verse Matt. 24:3-8 reads: “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?’
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, ‘Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, ‘I am Christ’; and shall deceive many.
“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers [various] places.”
The claim Jesus supposedly warned of a deadly pandemic as a sign of the end is enough for some to believe COVID-19 could be the harbinger of the apocalypse.
End Times Truth said: “Jesus in this prophecy was thus referring to the pain that this current world will go through to birth the new world system when He comes again, which will then give rise to the glorious Kingdom of Heaven.
“Jesus was saying that these pains of suffering would occur throughout this present time, but that the existence of any one of the events would not immediately signal the End of the Age.

“Therefore, the current coronavirus pandemic is the latest of many such birth pangs that the world has endured since the Lord predicted these events.
“A long list of known wars, pestilences, famines, and earthquakes that have occurred throughout history can be found at these links.
“Some of them have resulted in many millions of deaths either suddenly or over a short span of years. None of them, however, signalled the immediate Return of Christ.
“Jesus is definitely coming back soon, as evidenced by all the other prophecies discussed throughout this website. It is not that His Coming won’t be associated with wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes—it will be.”
