Who is the cause of the Coronavírus?

God?

Satan?

Or man?

Introduction:

I believe the cause of the Coronavirus is Satan and man not God, I will explain it below:

The proud angel who wanted to be like God Isaiah 14:12-14 was therefore driven out of God's Kingdom and became Satan. So, he went to the Garden of Eden and tempted Eve and Adam to disobey God and eat the forbidden fruit.

And disguised as a serpent:

Satan called God a liar:

Genesis 3:4 God had told Eve and Adam "if you eat any fruit from that tree, you will die"

And Satan said to Eve, You will not certainly die".

And then Satan called God a deceiver;

Genesis 3:5 "for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be open, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil".

God curses the serpent, the woman and the man, and then curses the ground:

We see in Genesis 3:17-18

17 Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.

18 it will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.

So, we know from the Bible that all evils, including death, sickness and the Coronavirus etc exist because of the fall of the proud angel who became Satan and the entrance of Adam and Eve's original sin into the world and the curse of the ground.

I Part:

We see in the Old Testament that God often punished men and nations for perverting their laws.

But at the same time, God promised in the Old Testament to send an Age of Grace and Salvation through the promised Messiah who would come to be punished in our place.

The New Testament is no longer the Age of the Law but of God's Grace. God does not punish men and the nations in the New Testament as He did in the Old Testament.



I am not saying that God doesn't punish men for their sins now, but we must clearly distinguish God's punishments in the Old Testament and in the New Testament.

Otherwise, we have to believe that God will cast all the punishments today as He did in the Old Testament on the Jews and gentiles.

For instance, we will stone women caught in adultery on the streets like they did in the Old Testament John 8:1-11

What I'm trying to point out is that Coronavirus, like all evils, is a result of Satan's rebellion and Adam and Eve original's sin and the ground also cursed by God.

II Part:

Some think that the Coronavirus was created in laboratories in China or in the USA with the aim of creating in the world this pandemic that we are witnessing.

They believe that there are very rich people behind everything and governments that have the objective of obtaining financial profits and also the control of the World through a Global Government.

Many say that this is not a Pandemic but a PLANDEMY that started in the USA.

It is true that there is a lot of skepticism about this Coronavirus Pandemic and a very mysterious behavior by politicians, wealthy people, world health services, pharmaceutical industries etc.


But it could be that the Coronavirus appeared naturally from original sin and from the curses God cast on Satan, man and the earth.

Anyway, Satan and wicked men will use this Coronavirus to achieve their ends.

John 10:10 ¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Satan comes only to steal and kill and destroy;

Jesus came that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Conclusion:

Of course nothing happens outside of God's Sovereignty and consent and God will use the Coronavirus to fulfil His purposes for His Glory.

And He will also triumph over Satan whom Jesus has already triumphed when He died on the Cross for us.

1John 3:8 To this end the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

Also, if people, unbelievers and believers, under this Pandemic caused by the Coronavirus, recognise their sins and confess them to God:

This will open the doors to a much greater Divine Intervention in the lives of people and the world in general.

  The Victory of Christ

Our responsibility as believers is to declare daily the Victory of Christ over Satan, sin, and over the Coronavirus: in the lives of people all over the world and in the life of the Universal Church of Christ and all our Families and Friends.

Also we must highlight the sins of men and above all preach the Great Love of God revealed in Jesus Christ.

John 3:16 God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
