“When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, ‘Come!’ And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.” (Revelation 6:7-8, ESV)
We are living in dark times. During the pandemic, I had this verse stuck in my head. The pale horse was on a public rampage. Its rider, Death, was proudly charging across the world. He was not hiding. He wanted the world to see him.
I am no Covid denier. It certainly existed and took many lives. But I’m not sure it took as many lives as we were led to believe. And I’m concerned that the greater tragedy is yet to come. I hope those who are thinking like me are wrong, but I fear we are not.
A Great Deceipt
There is no escaping the deceit with which the statistics were shared. They were almost always greatly exaggerated. Every death was a Covid death. Car accident? Covid. Parachute failed? Covid. Heart attack? Covid. I think you get the point. Did some die from Covid? Yes, of course. But most of the reported numbers were fudged.
On top of this, the pressure that was put on the general population to “mask up" and get their shots and boosters was immense. In my lifetime, I have never seen such a high pressure campaign combining the government, media, Hollywood, business, and social media platforms. And it wasn't just here in America. It was global.
Why the massive pressure? Why the padded statistics and inflammatory language? It was because they wanted us to panic. When people panic they don’t think clearly. They make impulsive decisions out of fear instead of reason. If you can throw people into a panic, promise them something that will solve the problem, then pressure them to make a decision quickly, you can manipulate them easily. In other words, it was a trap.
The Silent Ride Begins
Now, instead of his loud and televised rampage, Death and his pale horse have begun their quiet ride. One that may well have a higher death toll than the pandemic itself. The difference is that the government, media, Hollywood, and the like will be mostly silent about it.
You may have noticed that there has been an eerie increase in the amount of unexplained deaths lately. It seems every time you turn around someone else has died suddenly. People are starting to notice the awkward timing between this uptick and the Covid vaccines.
The characteristics of the deaths match the predictions of the medical professionals who were brave enough to say something, like Pathologist Ryan Cole for example. Of course, the biggest giveaway is the crazy excuses being thrown out by the powers that be. One excuse was climate change. The latest excuse? Artificial sweeteners. You can't make this stuff up.
The Tragedy to Come
Here's the bottom line. Billions of people have been deceived. The vaccines are causing clotting issues along with many other complications. Otherwise healthy people are unexpectedly dying at an alarming rate. Still births have skyrocketed. A great evil has been carried out.
Some believe it was intentionally carried out for population control. Others believe it was sheer irresponsibility in order to line the pockets of big Pharma. There are many other theories. Despite your opinion regarding the motives behind it, the result is the same.
If what we are seeing is any indication, the world is about to experience widespread tragedy and loss. It won't just be something we watch on the news from a distance. We will see it in our churches and communities. It will hit home.
As Christians, we were overwhelmed with the challenges of living faithfully for Christ in the midst of a socially charged pandemic. We may soon be faced with a world in deeper grief and desperation than we have ever seen it in our lifetime. Are we ready?
