Pandemic - The Real Conspiracy

I believe that there is a conspiracy but the conspiracy is not with an individual. Unfortunately I sometimes lose sight of that. This is not a battle with people against people but a battle with spiritual wickedness.

Ephesians 6:12 [KJV] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

This is one of a series of four articles that I have written dealing with covid-19 in an effort to help people who are searching for some biblical and scientific light in all the madness. I am not sure whether or not the order in which they are read is important but this in the order in which I wrote them:

There is an old proverb which I can no longer quote that empresses the sentiment If you don't know who you are someone will tell you. That is at the crux of the conspiracy. We must know how to choose the right side. The first thing that we must put on it the battle is truth.

Ephesians 6:13-14 [KJV] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

If Satan can block the truth from coming out and being understood then he will always be successful. The truth is that God has set spiritual principles that we can use in order to understand the madness. We have to be able to look past people and personalities and see the issues from God's perspective. Once Satan can get us to be looking to people as the solution or looking at people as the problem then we all lose. Satan is using people but we have to see past that and focus on the truth because the people will be imperfect. Having said that then what are the issues?

I Corinthians 6:19-20 [KJV] What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
I Thessalonians 5:19-22 [KJV] Quench not the Spirit. 20 Despise not prophesyings. 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
I Peter 3:10-12 [KJV] For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

God does not think that this is funny.

Psalms 7:10-11 [KJV] My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. 11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

This covid behaviour is wickedness and if we have the same heart of God like David did (Acts 13:22; 1 Sam. 13:14) it will anger us too. A heart like God will test situations to get at the truth.

Jeremiah 17:9-10 [KJV] The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

It is not fashionable nowadays to think of God getting angry, and indeed He is slow to anger to those who seek him and strengthens them against those who would destroy them.

Psalms 86:13-17 [KJV] For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. 14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. 15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. 16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. 17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

No matter how righteous we are we are not the only people that serve God. If we are determined to let Satan cause harm to God's people that serve him faithfully then we will experience his wrath.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE COVID VACCINE - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Explains to Theo Von
They have all of these vaccines and they realise that it is going to be very hard to get one that does what people expect so they have been lowering the standards.

The main issue is that the standard of care for people is being dropped to the lowest because of chasing after profits. Once the love of money is driving things then the Bible tells us what to expect.

I Timothy 6:10 [KJV] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Support systems and the Bible

Just a brief look at some of the scriptures in the Bible show us how our support system should work.

I Corinthians 12:12-18 [KJV] For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

The Church is structured to please God not people, not you, not I.

Fear God

I Samuel 2:1-10 [KJV] And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. 2 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. 5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble. 6 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. 7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORDS, and he hath set the world upon them. 9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

Our support system starts with God.

The Lord maintains the cause of the poor

Psalms 140:11-12 [KJV] Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
Matthew 25:40-41 [KJV] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

We are not to put unwarranted pressure on poor people.

Leviticus 25:36-37 [KJV] Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. 37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
Proverbs 14:21 [KJV] He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
Proverbs 19:17 [KJV] He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
Proverbs 21:13 [KJV] Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
Proverbs 22:23-24 [KJV] For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them. 24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

YOUR BROTHER'S KEEPER (GENESIS 4:1-13)

In this early story we see an attitude that is being expressed today. After killing his brother Cain gave this response to God

Genesis 4:9 [KJV] And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brothers keeper?

When our actions cause harm to others it is our place to accept responsibility to God. If we do not then this is what God says:

Genesis 4:10-11 [KJV] And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brothers blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brothers blood from thy hand;

The last place that we would expect to find this attitude is in the medical profession but what can you say when research shows from the biochemistry that something is harmful and yet doctors resist it with great hostility without showing how the biochemical threats have been counteracted, or even showing an awareness of the biochemical threats and could care less about completing testing before imposing it upon even children.

Eli and his sons

Eli was the priest (1 Samuel 1:9, 2:11) and a judge in Israel (1 Samuel 4:18). He had a high office over people but he sadly had serious problems in his family. Like their father Eli, Hophni and Phinehas were also priests (1 Samuel 1:3). The sons of Eli knew not the Lord (1 Samuel 2:12). Why? God had given this instruction.

Deuteronomy 6:1-7 [KJV] Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: 2 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy sons son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. 3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Deuteronomy 11:13-20 [KJV] And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. 15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full. 16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; 17 And then the LORDS wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you. 18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
Proverbs 22:6 [KJV] Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

I started with a quote from Hannah. She knew God. She knew God in a land that was judged by Eli. Eli tried to talk to his sons but he must not have gone far enough.

I Samuel 2:22-25 [KJV] Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people. 24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORDS people to transgress. 25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.

When you are in an exalted position before God it is a frightening thing: If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? God makes you your brother's keeper and his judgement is terrifying. Eli knew of God's intention but he seemed powerless to correct the situation.

I Samuel 3:11-14 [KJV] And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. 12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. 13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. 14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.

Eli lived with that terrible knowledge. This problem of men in high positions before God having problems with their children is common. It is a conspiracy. As Christians none of us can judge Eli because men after God's own heart, like David, and people that were zealous for God from their youth, like Josiah, all fell to this conspiracy. What we must do is bear it in mind and try our best to escape. These men formed the root of the support system for nations but crumbled under the weight of responsibility to their families.

We see the climax of the situation with Eli in I Samuel 4. It appears that all Israel stood under God's judgerment under Eli's watch. He had been an ineffective as a judge as well. Personally He feared God but it did not translate into the judgements that he made in dealing with his family and his nation. In one fell swoop Israel lost the ark and he lost his sons. He died upon hearing the news.

PEOPLE DO NOT LISTEN

From what I have see over the years, the main thing that dooms support systems to fail is failure to listen. We cannot have a meeting of the minds when we do not listen to the other side. This is a break down in first love. When we do not listen to people we disrespect them as unworthy to be heard. That is painful and each time they appeal to us and we refuse to listen puts one more nail in the coffin. First love breaks down because of callouses that develop as a response to emotional pain and injury. After a while the person becomes insensitive to us. When we do not listen we are saying that the person is a fool, but maybe we both are. I am not going to try to draw out every nuance in the following scriptures. We can each do that for ourselves.

Matthew 5:21-26 [KJV] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

God says that we must make ourselves available to hear people out. Snide and disparaging remarks have no place in seeking to build a support system.

Jude 1:17-20 [KJV] But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
II Peter 3:3-8 [KJV] Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

This attitude will be very prominent in the final days before our saviour returns. It is going to be in the Church. Christians won't listen to one another. They will create breaches in the support system. When we see this developing look for a scoffer (someone who in some way is saying that the other is unworthy of consideration) and pray that it is not us. A scoffer is a short-sighted fool.

Proverbs 19:29 [KJV] Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

Scoffers will start the trouble and call for punishment

Proverbs 18:6 [KJV] A fools lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

The next verse shows when the same punishment leads to his own destruction. Verse 7 A fools mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. That approach destroys the support system piece by piece. God is not looking for punishment but for healing. If you mind a fool you will be calling for punishment for everybody including yourself and the whole system will collapse. Forget about punishment and try to help. By the way, I see this as what is happening with the covid protocol when Christians side with those who want to punish others when those same laws will one day turn on us. What about when we demand that someone must bent to your will when we are the ones encroaching on their civil and international rights. Are we considering them better than ourselves? What do we actually know about these people anyhow?

Philippians 2:2-3 [KJV] Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

We cannot be of one mind when we do not even know the mind of the other. We must listen even if we think it could be foolishness. Even so we must consider that the other person could be better than us or know better in the eyes of God. Pick a situation when the support system broke down and see if communication did not break down first. People think that we understand when we actually do not, and we are not going to be aware because we no longer listen, if we ever did at all.

We are in a turmoil when dealing with people like that and it could be us.

Proverbs 26:3-5 [KJV] A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fools back. 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
Proverbs 29:7-9 [KJV] The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. 8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. 9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

Even knowing what the Bible says does not snuff out our love and care so we do not always respond with wisdom. Contending with people over things out of love is natural to Christians, but it seems to be a waste of time sometimes. We are either a fool for trying or a fool for not trying because we are our brother's keeper and as far as we are concerned we see the secret and we are the righteous.

Proverbs 3:32-35 [KJV] For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous. 33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just. 34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. 35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

Any wise Christian sees the danger and we do not want it for ourselves or anyone else. People are scoffing at God and obstructing justice but God is not mocked.

Galatians 6:7-8 [KJV] Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Romans 14:11-13 [KJV] For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brothers way.

People treat the fundamentals of our support system with disdain and we are in turmoil of how to respond. A fool for trying or not a fool for not trying.

Isaiah 5:18-25 [KJV] Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: 19 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: 23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! 24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

We may feel like Jeremiah except that we do not want harm to come to our brothers.

Jeremiah 17:15-18 [KJV] Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now. 16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee. 17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil. 18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

Or Peter who suffered the same later.

I Peter 3:15-17 [KJV] But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

And generally we see the mountain of lies that prtect the well off.

Isaiah 28:14-15 [KJV] Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

And contrast it with what we also see happening that God says He is doing.

Acts 13:40-41 [KJV] Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; 41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

I suppose that every Christian feels that we are in this position when other Chrisitans refuse to listen, refuse to check out the warnings that we present.

Proverbs 1:22-25 [KJV] How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
Zechariah 7:11-13 [KJV] But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. 12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts. 13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:

When Christians do not listen and thereby demean others, it creates turmoil and strikes at the root of our support system which is set in Christ. However we respond we are damned if it is on our own strength. All we can do is pray and keep our minds open but we cannot judge each other or give up on each other. Christ never gave up on Judas. It is hard to be hurt and betrayed and keep trying to help those that hurt us but that is what a support system is all about. It bears the stress.

LAUGHING AT THE STATE OF THE POOR

God makes provision for the poor in His support system (Leviticus 19:910).

Do not pervert justice (Leviticus 19:15)

Christians who are aware of the demands of salvation should fear God's warning to show genuine, and not superficial, love to poor people.

Romans 13:10-14 [KJV] Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Matthew 22:36-40 [KJV] Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

For this next scripture it is difficult to cut off at a point but I have selected these verses:

Proverbs 17:5-15 [KJV] Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. 6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. 7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. 8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. 9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. 10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. 11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. 12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. 13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. 14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. 15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

TRULY RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE CARE ABOUT POOR PEOPLE

I find that there are people who claim that they are authorities and firmly support wickedness and the only excuse is, Did I do that? I just did not know. People are relying on them because they are in no position to check for themselves but these authorities have not bothered to check and the reason is because they are defending the position of the wealthy. That attitude is the antithesis of what God expects from a Christian.

Proverbs 29:7 [KJV] The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
Isaiah 58:9-12 [KJV] Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; 10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: 11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. 12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Isaiah 61:1-3 [KJV] The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Luke 14:12-14 [KJV] Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. 13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

As Christians our concern is for the suffering people not those living high on the hog. No man can serve two masters. The position of the rich has always been in their favour at the expense of the poor.

WE WANT A KING (REJECTING GOD)

There is no better support than God. His laws and His ways are righteous and good. Men have this tendency to want to be controlled by a state or somebody else. God's support system is entrenched in His laws and he has made provision for us all. The support system of the state is in its social programs.

Discrimination against poor people

James 2:2-10 [KJV] For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? 8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Stiffling our conscience

I John 3:17-21 [KJV] But whoso hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

There are many stories that show us what happens when we stiffle our conscience and disregard the poor:

AHAB AND JEZEBEL (SEDUCTION AND ABDICATION OF RESPONSIBILITY TO TEACH)

This is a long story that begins in 1 Kings 16. The problems start when Ahab stiffles his conscience and lets his wife direct his life unjustly. The same thing can be caused by anyone close to us but in this story it is a wife. Ahab let his eyes go blind to the wickedness of his loved one. He allowed her to seduce him into a lifestyle that did not please God, destroying God's prophets (I Kings 18:13). God blamed Ahab for her evil (I Kings 21:17) because he knew better while she was merely acting according to her upbringing. In the end it was her that lead him to his death through her prophets in 1 kings 22. The lying spirit that God used went into her prophets and send him to his death. She and the rest of the family continued to terrorise the people all because of Ahab and God eventually destroyed them all.

Abraham's bosom

The story of the beggar Lazarus is found in Luke 16:20-31. Lazarus lead a hard life and the rich man had it easy. He did not consider the plight of the poor man and in allegory is shown speaking from the grave. He pleaded that if a man went to others like him that they would listen but God explained that they already had the Bible and it is sufficient.

Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)

The good Samaritan is in many ways the opposite of what we are expected to do in COVID. There has always been risks associated with helping people. We still have to try. Only God can truely protect us but our nature is to rely on ourselves. Many people relied on their own ability to look after themselves and passed him by but Christ showed that the approach that he desires is to treat all people as neighbours and aid them in distress.

David did a lot of good but there was tragedy in David's family over oppressing one man.

The curse is found in II Samuel 12:9-12. The story starts and develops in II Samuel 11. David had everything but wanted Uriah's wife. When is actions threatened to be exposed he tried to cover it up by killing Uriah. God saw it all and cursed him. We cannot selfishly rob the less fortunate and cover up our faults by destroying those whom we have wronged but it is what we typically try to do. When we dig ourselves into a hole we cannot justify ourselves by destroying those who are righteous just because their lives condemn us for our evil.

THE CROWN OF OUR SOCIAL SYSTEM

We want to put a man ahead of God to rule us but God says that He is the crown of our support system.

King James Version: Psalms Chapter 911 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

IN THE LAST DAYS

In the last days the godly support system will crumble. To some it will seem to happen without warning.

Matthew 24:36-44 [KJV] But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

I Thessalonians 5:2-24 [KJV] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their works sake. And be at peace among yourselves. 14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit. 20 Despise not prophesyings. 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

To Christians there are definite signs.

II Thessalonians 2:1-15 [KJV] Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

King James Version: II Timothy Chapter 31 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. 10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

King James Version: I Timothy Chapter 41 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 7 But refuse profane and old wives fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 11 These things command and teach. 12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

II Peter 3:3-9 [KJV] Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

I John 2:15-29 [KJV] Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

Jude 1:7-24 [KJV] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. 16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having mens persons in admiration because of advantage. 17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

Revelation 13:15-17 [KJV] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Support systems

As far as secular society is concerned there are four core groups that make up a strong support system: the state (especially a with socialist leaning ideologies), family, friends, and colleagues. Biblical support systems have different priorities and consist of God, family, friends, and colleagues. In Biblical support systems the state is just an extension of God and His laws and that may be in direct conflict with secular systems which usually have different laws. The level of support that you receive from each of these groups will vary, but it falls under four classes of support: emotional, instrumental, informational, and/or appraisal. When it is completely absent it is devastating.

From Emotional support we receive expressions of empathy, love, trust, and caring. Instrumental support is tangible aid and service. Informational support is advice, suggestions, and information and finally appraisal is defined as information that is useful for self-evaluation. At any given moment some people are able to tap into any one of the categories of support but the Bible shows that it will disappear when we needed it most. Right now our family is being polarised. Our friends in (Church for example or the rum shop at the other extreme) are under attack. Our colleagues ane being encouraged to ostracise us.

In the Godly support system everting flows out from God. In the secular support system if flows from the state institutions like the Cabinet and the senate, the judiciary, civil government, and so on. The secular and biblical do not always agree and we have to choose. The Bible presents the choice as you cannot serve both God and mammon. The support system that God has set up is being ruined by the secular approach. It is introducing changes in the laws of the nations that will have long term effects of people's ability to chose to live as Christians.

So whom do we serve? Does God know what He is doing and does it make sense, or do we go fully behind the secular system?
Impact on support systems by COVID19 global response

The impression given by some is that God (who represents the Biblical support system especially through His laws) has sent this evil plague on the poor and innocent with no recourse. The masters of the world (the secular system) have had to come up with some new thing and they must force ignorant people to accept it to be saved. Is that true? Is that the approach that you support?

Let me proceed by dissecting Proverbs 17:5-15. My quotations are from The King James Version.

[5] Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

What do we hear about how the protocol deals with poor people that are too foolish to accept the jab?

[6] Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

People want to see their grandchildren and help them. If you rob them of that can you compensate them?

[7] Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.

Are the leaders telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

[8] A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

Is money involved here? Where is it turning?

[9] He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

What are we repeatedly hearing about people who refuse the jab? Is it not that they are a danger to the state? Is it separating friends?

[10] A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

Even though they know that it is a trial and their threats are illegal and it is killing people have they changed?

[11] An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

This is what God says in retribution.

[12] Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

Who is the fool here? Are you sure?

[13] Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

Who are being rewarded? Is it for good?

[14] The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

When we as Christians have to face the backlash of what we encourage with this support of state sponsored bullying what will we say then? What of the economic and other hardships. What whe the results come out and people discover the truth?

[15] He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

That is how God looks at the situation.

When we compare God's perspective to the secular system how does it measure up? How does is the secular system performing in terms of the cause of the poor? Is forcing them to submit to an experimental vaccine alternative trial and threatening them with reprisals if they refuse looking after them. The jab is known to cause death and other problems. How is the support system in covid19 responding? Is it the same way that God said it should be? Is God and His system contributing anything or is it just a waste of time?

I want to make the observation that the evidence strongly suggests that the global resonse to COVID19 is a studied approach. Great minds and resources have been employed in developing a response and it has been in the works for years.

https://khn.org/news/evidence-shows-obama-team-left-a-pandemic-game-plan-for-trump-administration/

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/obama-team-left-pandemic-playbook-for-trump-administration-officials-confirm

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/03/pandemic-coronavirus-united-states-trump-cdc/608215/

That is not to say that the plan organised by an elected administration (or series of elected administrations) is the one that we now see implemented. I merely recognise that whoever concocted the present plan had a good knowledge of what to expect and hence how to accomplish their objectives whatever they may be. Seeing that so many minds have over the years been bent to devise a mechanism to save the society, this appears to be a very poor job if this is it. That leaves me to assume that the prime objective of the present measures is not to save society by following a plan approved by former benevolent national leaders. Perhaps it is focussed on creating a new one.

As I proceed I will be asking the question How is each element performing under the two systems?

Emotional support

1. Emotional support we receive expressions of empathy, love, trust, and caring. Emotional support must therefore be personalised because people are different. The approach to COVID19 is a one-pot approach when the demographics alone clearly show massive differences. Politically, religiously and otherwise people are vastly divided.

1.1 IS ANYBODY REALLY LISTENING TO CONCERNS SHOWING REAL EMPATHY?

Under God's system is He or anybody listening and how does that compare with those in the secular system?

If I tell you to put your family on an experimental aircraft where testing has not been completed and it has not been approved for general use to take you to somewhere safe when you are at hardly any risk where you are, am I really interested in you? Am I your friend? If I tell you that people with impeccable credentials have warned about its safety but you can just ignore them, am I your friend? If I told you that in previous trials the plane has crashed and killed people and nobody actually knows why but it is safe, am I your friend? If I have never even acknowledged your existence and have opposed helping you when you needed but now I want to pay to give you a trip on the plane when you really don't want to go, am I your friend? Is god and His people listening or is the state and its people listening?

People are deciding on matters of our survival based on assumptions. Assumptions that they understand why you don't want the vaccine and assumptions about its safety and defectiveness without the benefit of results from trials. Based on their assumptions they have condemned anybody who disagrees with them. Is anybody providing clear information that has real scientific support? People who refuse the experimental vaccine trial are treated like idiots when the truth is that they seem to know far more about it.

Do the jab people know that most of the people they are calling antivaxers actually like true vaccines once they are administered in a safe way?

Do the jab people know that it is a trial and that you forfeit your rights by participating?

Do the jab people know the risks like autimune disease and blood clots etc?

Do the jab people know that the results of the trial will not be out until 2022?

Do the jab people know of the risks from the vaccine to people who are not at risk to covid?

What special health care arrangements have been made for people who are high risk? Long before there was a vaccine there were successful treatments for those who contracted the disease. Previous severe virus cases showed what worked in general. Have any of them been properly explored and have people been given the information that they need to protect themselves? The demographics show that it is the same as the flu or other reapiratory diseases. Why has nothing been done? The only information that we are receiving is that the vaccine is available. Full disclosure ia not even made about what that means. Statistics are showing that greater than half of the world's population does not want the vaccine however nations are not providing support. Instead they want to legislate their solution.

Is the vaccine the only viable option to treating covid and if not why have the others not been supported? Who is listening and attempting to provide empathy, love, trust, and caring? Which group?

1.2. SUPPLY CLEAR RELEVANT INFORMATION

If you don't know then you should clearly state that you do not know. If your friend or family member is providing clear and complete information and you are doing the same them then it promotes the support system. Everyone is then able to move on the same basis. When information is concealed or distorted then the conclusions and reactions that follow are also distorted. When people are mislead into taking actions that they would otherwise have rejected it can lead to hatred and vengeance. If you are not told about blood clots but encouraged to take the jab and then suffer because of blood clots that is an example. If you are not told about severe complications that can result from a drug that is being administered to you to treat covid and is given that drug. If you are not told that it is an experiment which you have every right to refuse and is instead told that it is mandatory then if you suffer consequence it will lead to hatred and maybe worse. These and internal problems that will fracture the support system. If you are told that you cannot socialise with your loved ones and then discover that it was a lie that can also lead to consequences within the support system.Where is the full disclosure? Is anybody even checking to find out and if so who is?

What is the accuracy of a PCR test in detecting COVID19?

When you use those results as the basis for generating death rates and infection rates what are you doing?

When you use results that were tainted by monetary incentives to declare COVID deaths what are you doing?

can the PCR test be manipulated and how reliable is it?

According to the assets.publishing.service.gov.uk website at https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/895843/S0519_Impact_of_false_positives_and_negatives.pdf:

WHAT CAUSES FALSE POSITIVES?
  • Cross reactions with other genetic material.  Other sources of DNA or RNA may have cross reactive genetic material that can be amplified by the RT-PCR test.  False positives were observed unexpectedly in norovirus assays in patients with enterocolitis, due to unusually high levels of human DNA in samples
  • Contamination during sampling.  This may happen if the swab head accidently contacts,  or is placed on a contaminated surface (e.g. latex gloves, hospital surface).
  • Contamination during swab extraction.  Viral RNA is extracted from swabs in solution; accidental aerosolization ofliquid can cause cross contamination between samples. *Contamination with PCR amplicon.  The PCR amplification process generates millions of copiesof the DNA target (amplicon) that can cause false positives in subsequent PCR reactions.  If a testing lab is accidently contaminated with amplicon it can lead to sporadic false positives.
  • Contamination of PCR laboratory consumables.  Contamination can spread from a post-PCR lab into a pre-PCR lab by transfer of equipment, chemicals, people or aerosol.  Even experienced national labs can be affected.  In early-March 2020, COVID-19 RT-PCR assays produced by the CDC were withdrawn after many showed false positives due to contaminated reagents.

What is the UK operational false positive rate?
The UK operational false positive rate is unknown.  There are no published studies on the operational false positive rate of any national COVID-19 testing programme.An attempt has been made to estimate the likely false-positive rate of national COVID-19 testing programmes by examining data from published external quality assessments (EQAs) for RT-PCRassays for other RNA viruses carried out between 2004-2019 [7].  Results of 43 EQAs were examined, giving a median false positive rate of 2.3% (interquartile range 0.8-4.0%).

WHAT CAUSES FALSE NEGATIVES?
  • Poor sampling technique.  Nasopharyngeal sampling is invasive and can feel unpleasant.  It may be less effective when carried out unsupervised, so the false negative rate may increase as sampling at home becomes more common.
  • Sample degradation.  Samples may degrade when stored or while being transported.
  • Sampling too early.  Viral shedding from individuals peaks just before, or at the onset of symptoms [4,5].  If samples are taken early in infection (1-4 days after infection) they have an increased false negative rate.
  • Sampling too late.  Viral shedding declines after symptoms have peaked [6].  Samples taken at this stage of infection will show an increased false negative rate. . .
.
.
.
What is the UK operational false negative rate?
The UK operational false negative rate is unknown.

A recent study [6] combined results from seven studies (>1300 swab test results associated with time of disease onset) to create a model of the false negative rate for SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assays against time since infection.  Their model suggested that in the first four days of infection (pre-symptomatic phase) the probability of a false negative in an infected person decreased from 100% on day 1 (i.e. a false negative was certain) to 67% on day 4.  It then decreased to 38% on day 5 (day of symptom onset) to a minimum of 20% on day 8 of infection (i.e. one in five people still give a false negative result despite having experienced three days of COVID-19 symptoms).  The false negative rate then increased from day 9 (21%) to day 21 (66%).  Point estimates and confidence intervals are shown in Figure 1 [taken from 6. . .

At the time when that paper was published what were we hearing about PCR tests?

PCR CYCLE THRESHOLD (ct)

I Still have not seen anything on research into ramping up cycles and increasing the false positive but it appears that it is the case, There are claims that the ct in PCR testing is ramped up from 25 to 38 or even 48 at times. consider https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsomega.1c00166. While it shows the possibility it does not describe a precise relationship between errors and anything. Evidence like this is often disregarded because it does not establish proof but that does not mean that there is no evidence to suggest the problem. As an aside, COVID19 is used interchangeably with SARS-CoV-2, which is a hint to the fact that it is nothing new, it is essentially the same as the SARS from before. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) causes severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). One is the agent and the other the disease.

1.4. A Sales Job

When you look at the two basic groups, God and His vs. the state and its people, are you being treated as part of just another transaction or as a friend? Who stands to get something out of it? On one side the strategy seems to be to get people to take people to take the experimental vaccine alternative not to do what is right for them. One of the strategies is to appeal to peoples altruism and common humanity. If a drug causes death should there not be an immediate recall instead of a publicity program to whitewash it? There are websites that provide studied approaches to convincing people to be vaccinated not to determine the best decision for the individuals.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2021.649507/full

People are being treated as a sales transaction. From, the point of view of the state it appears to be the right thing to do but where is God or His law in all of this? It is THEIR right thing to do but is it GOD'S? Is it what is in YOUR best interest when all of the facts are considered or is in theirs? What are all the facts anyway? It is a sales promotion job. The website www.forbes.com has an article on it. The webpage //www.forbes.com/sites/martyswant/2021/04/11/using-humor-and-nostalgia-more-brands-are-putting-money-and-clout-behind-covid-19-vaccine-psas/?sh=192badac31ee says: As the Covid-19 vaccine becomes more widely available, well known companies ranging from tech giants to beer brands are rolling out public service announcements to encourage people to get their shot. It goes on to show that there is big money being put behind the Public Service Ads (PSAs).

Aristotle defined 3 types of appeals: logos (evidential), pathos (emotional), and ethos (based on moral standing). Logos and pathos are the two most common contemporary categories. These can be further subdivided. Pathos is the one most abused by advertising while the other two are more inclined to be used in rational thinking and presentation. The problem with pathos is skewed information. Information can be shewed by leaving out or otherwisse manipulating the facts. Ethos can be abused by attacks on character or by associating character with wealth or by downplaying the value of Godly character. In all situations character is important but there are situations where skill is more important. The trick is in the combination and what takes precedence.

The following seven appeals are the most common psychological strategies advertisers use to reach their target audience and persuade them to buy:

...1 Emotional appeals
- general appeals to emotion. A common example of emotional fallacy is: Daughter: Mom, I'm too full, I can't eat anymore. Mother: You have to eat everything on your plate; think of all the children in Africa who are starving every day. In that case the emotion was guilt. Wikipedia says Appeal to emotion or argumentum ad passiones ("argument from passion") is an informal fallacy characterized by the manipulation of the recipient's emotions in order to win an argument, especially in the absence of factual evidence. . .

Appeal to emotion is a logical fallacy that occurs when someone uses emotional appeals, such as pity, fear, hate, disgust, and joy, instead of relevant facts and logic to support their claim. It can be used constructively and is generally acceptable when it prompts people to do what is good. The problem is first defining what is good.

...2 Fear appeals - if you don't get it you are doomed. Who is perpetrating that approach?.

...3 Humour appeals
- more personal, a non specific recommendation. Concealing a flimsy argument by drawing attention to something comical instead of dealing with the logic of the situation. What are the pros AND cons.

...4 Musical appeals
- Who is doing this in the US?  https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/will-an-18-year-old-pop-star-convince-young-people-that-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-good-4-u) and Britain (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-57702498.

...5 Rational appeals
- Who is taking this approach? Who is asking you to become informed and make a rational decision?

...6 Sexual appeals
- in imagery of virile, good looking people taking the jab instead of the deformed or incapacitated people who took it and suffered.

...7 Scarcity appeals
- if you don't get it now you will lose out (have to pay, supplies will expire).

All of these are being applied to COVID19. The only valid appeal for a support system is love. These are not being done in the context of God's love and hence it is not real love but an emotional experience. Instead of love there are some appeals used that are despicable and sick, like enticing children to take the jab by offering them ice cream.

Instrumental support is tangible aid and service

Government-provided social support or public assistance is an element of every nation under the sun. There are international bodies set up to coordinate with it. Responses to pandemics have been discussed and planned for decades with explicit recommendation made at the highest levels in the last decade. The brightest minds and the greatest technologies ever invented are at the disposal of the local and international institutions and yet this is the best that could be done. Did nobody know that a response like this denies God and breaks the social fabric. There is current debate over the Rockefeller Foundation's scenario planning https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/blog/innovating-for-a-bold-future/. Where is God or godliness in any of this?

Social support is studied across a wide range of disciplines including psychology, religion, communications, medicine, sociology, nursing, public health, education, rehabilitation, and social work. Websites and support groups have become a standard. Why is the only support for COVID19 the jab? Why is there no set place for the people who look to God?

With reference to Wikipedia [timestamp 22:36, 5 September 2021] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_support, it is know that people with low social support report more sub-clinical symptoms of depression and anxiety than do people with high social support. In addition, people with low social support have higher rates of major mental disorder than those with high support. These include post traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, social phobia, major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, and eating disorders. Among people with schizophrenia, those with low social support have more symptoms of the disorder. In addition, people with low support have more suicidal ideation, and more alcohol and (illicit and prescription) drug problems. Similar results have been found among children. Is the only practical support the jab? Did the people of Haiti need the jab more than any other social assistance?

I was especially facinated by this quote from the same site: . . .Religious coping has especially been shown to correlate positively with positive psychological adjustment to stressors with enhancement of faith-based social support hypothesized as the likely mechanism of effect.[66][67] However, more recent research reveals the role of religiosity/spirituality in enhancing social support may be overstated and in fact disappears when the personality traits of "agreeableness" and "conscientiousness" are also included as predictors. . .

They realise that religious people have a contribution attributed to agreeableness and conscientiousness which are elements of the Holy Spirit but it is written off as a personality trait. Whether or not you believe it is a personality trait you have identified where it is most available. Why would you propose a solution that denies it? No faith based outreach.

Some of the barriers to people who are already ill seeking social assistance include fear of social stigma, financial resources, and availability and quality of support. These are also barriers to people who crave redress for being wronged by the jab. Self-efficacy may also explain why people do not seek social support. Since this is a reality, can such people be given any assistance? Are there genuine cures and preventative homeopathic remedies? Are there any solutions at all other than an mRNA jab in an experiment? If there is a cost to these alternatives is it something that the social system can handle. Creating a strong social support system for those affected by COVID19 would help such individuals avoid risks for their specific demographic group and generally to have a higher success with managing it.How would it work under God? How close are we to that? Why is the agreeableness and conscientiousness of the faith based approach rejected when it could provide tangible assistance.

Various studies have been performed examining the effects of social support on psychological distress. Researchers realized that the theme present in each of these situations is the absence of adequate social support and the disruption of social networks. So why would some propose a global solution that strikes at the heart of this and does not simultaneously compensate for it?

One particular study documented targeted police officers. Talking things over among coworkers was the most frequent form of coping utilized while on duty, whereas most police officers kept issues to themselves while off duty. The study found that the social support between co-workers significantly buffered the relationship between work-related events and distress. So why would you ACTIVELY SUPPORT A HOSTILE APPROACH that polarises sides on the basis that they are threatening the destruction of society as we know it? Breaching the Nuremberg conventions and bullying people would have to be known as counter-productive and hence must have another objective.

What about assistance for single mothers who have tight schedules and perhaps carryovers from a romantic relationship that threaten the best interest of the child? It is believed that friends of a single parent offer a chance to socialize, match experiences, and be part of a network of peers. D'Ercole (the proponent of this approach) drew from the statistics that social support from co-workers decreased the experience of stress ONLY IN LOWER INCOME INDIVIDUALS. It would not therefore impact on the state hierarchy. The author of the study hypothesizes that single women who earn more money are more likely to hold more demanding jobs which require more formal and less dependent relationships. Additionally, those women who earn higher incomes are more likely to be in positions of power, where relationships are more competitive than supportive. Why do we not have these things blaring in our ears each day and on every website? People need people. Is any of this being affected by social distancing?

Many studies have been dedicated specifically to post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). According to wikipedia In general, data shows that the support of family and friends has a positive influence on an individual's ability to cope with trauma. In fact, a meta-analysis by Brewin et al. found that social support was the strongest predictor, accounting for 40%, of variance in PTSD severity. Is the COVID19 global condition traumatic? Does the very definition of pandemic spell out traumatic? When you compound it by ruining the social structure without providing adequate alternative support what are you doing?

What about the effect on students? Students at every level are having their routines disrupted and put under stress. College students may already be coping with separation from their normal support system and other complication relating to the cost of education. Stress in these conditions have traditionally lead to things like drug abuse. Studies indicate that dysfunctional coping can cause the very social support system that is intended to help to work against the student's well-being (e.g. grant money of family gifts used to buy drugs or or odd behaviour cause the student to be ostracised). Social support would need to be targeted to the student and the other elements of the support system would need to be employed in order to mitigate against things like sedentary behaviour, drug and alcohol use, and too much or too little sleep etc.

Costs

Just throwing money at it will not solve the problem. At the national level the means for providing the support is already there and just needs to be tailored. You can already find from supported employment to supported housing, family support, educational support, and supported living are based upon the relationship between informal and formal supports, and paid and unpaid caregivers. The other arm of support systems is based upon affiliation and friendship. This cannot be bullied because it is an expression of inner convictions.

It has been proposed that in order for social support to be beneficial, the social support desired by the individual has to match the support given to him or her; this is known as the matching hypothesis. Psychological stress may increase if a different type of support is provided than what the recipient wishes to receive (e.g., informational is given when emotional support is sought). In other words just telling people nonsense that a jab will solve everything is unscientific and just plain ridiculous and could lead to additional health risks and complications.

In the past poorly handled social support has been linked to worse mental (almost everywhere) and physical (especially in India and Africa) health. COVID19 would not be the first time. in any case consider how India, Mexico, Peru and other countries dealt with their covid19 problem. Was it with vaccinations or Ivermectin? What are the true costs? Ivermectin is supposed to cost about $10 US per treatment.

3. Informational support is advice, suggestions, and information

Our support systems help to anchor us to reality. If we become detached or liked to a malfunctioning one then our reality is at risk. What happens when people no longer believe in anyone but themselves because every trusted institution has been proven to lie? many people attach special significance to the medical profession as the bastion of good intentions and practise. There is a war being fought on social media because one side's approach to this is we are following the science, take the jab but when you ask for the science it is never actually presented. As a matter of fact they trample on the science when they go about administering medication that has not been proven safe. The other side can give you the studies, tell you what to use, how long, why it works etc.etc. etc. and can also tell you why the alternatives cannot work, why they are harmful and so on. What is our reality?

At the national and international level agencies and international organisations are set up to inform us. What do they inform us about, God and the things that are important to Him? There is a lot of information about what is important to them: their financial system. their healthcare system, their educational system and so on. When it comes to God all of the information is twisted to support their objectives. This is also what happens in our family and social life. In the case of covid how well informed do they attempt to make us? Do we know the alternatives. Do we know how to get access to them?

4. Appraisal is defined as information that is useful for self-evaluation

The challenge here is similar to that for Informational support. God has one way of life and it is not the same as that of the nations. The appraisal that God and His system provides may tell you that you are killing innocent people and lying. It may tell you that you are exposing your children to unnecessary risks to protect them from something that is extremely unlikely. It may appraise the primary drug that is being administered by the social support system as poison. The other side may just chose not to make the evidence available even though tyou know from interacting with people that it is being suppressed. How many died from the vaccine? Are more dying from the vaccine than from covid? Does someone who has had actual covid have more robust resistance than someone with the jab?. Should we not have all this information at our fingertips? The appraisal system is designed for success of the masters of the national and international system not for God. Where the two objectives meet there is no problem but as nations drift further away from God we get increased conflict. The same thing happens in our personal relationships whether it is at work, within the family or in other personal relationships. Do people set aside time to look out for us and help us appraise how well we are doing? In the case of covid how well appraised are we? What kind of follow up and care does the average person who takes the jab get?

The demise of Support Systems

God made man as a social being.

Genesis 2:18 [KJV] And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

From the foundation, when they were just two, God created a support system for them, each supporting the other under God. Satan's solution to breaking it up was to introduce scoffing.

Genesis 3:1-7 [KJV] Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Adam fell prey to his human support system because he did not look to God first. Scoffers doubt God and can cause us to do what Aaron did with the Golden Calf. He knew that thing was not God but pandered to the desires of his human support system. Another classic example is the Gibeonites.

Gibeonites

The Israelites were commanded to destroy all inhabitants of Canaan. After the destruction of Jericho and Ai, the Hivites of Gibeon sent ambassadors to trick the Israelites into making a peace treaty with them. Israel did not consult God (Joshua 9:14), but went ahead and made a covenant with them. The Israelites soon discovered that they were in fact neighbours (Joshua 9:17). Again there is no record that anybody consulted God. We see in a a later example that God is very concerned for those that are repentant.

Jonah 4:7-11 [KJV] But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.  8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.  9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.  10 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:  11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?  

Israel did however demonstrate fear of God because Joshua kept the letter of his covenant with the Gibeonites to let them live but assigned them as woodcutters and water-carriers (Joshua 9:327). The Gibeonites feared God.

Joshua 9:24-25 [KJV] And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing. 25 And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.

When their city was later besieged by a coalition of five other Amorite kings the Gibeonites appealed to Joshua, who led the subsequent victory over the Amorites where God was clearly in charge because it included deadly hailstones and the suspension of the movement of the sun and moon in the sky (Joshua 10:115). God defended the Gibeonites.

The black people have this term called passing. It is when a person with black ancestry can pass for white. When in that position many descendants of blacks have turned on their own. Gibeon was located in the tribal territory of Benjamin (Joshua 18:21-25). It was given as a Levitical city (Joshua 21:17). Following the capture of the Ark by the Philistines, the Tabernacle was moved from Shiloh to Gibeon (1 Samuel 4:122, 1 Chronicles 21:29). Why was it made a Levitical city? Why was the Ark moved there? Let us also notice what is said of Saul the Benjamite:

I Chronicles 9:35-39 [KJV] And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wifes name was Maachah: 36 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab, 37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth. 38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren. 39 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

I cannot swear that this Gibeon was descended from the original Gibeonites but it seems so to me. Saul could have stood up for the Gibeonits but it seems to me that Saul was passing. We read of Saul's actions against the Gibeonites in 2 Samuel 21.

II Samuel 21:1-2 [KJV] Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. 2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)

People claim that it was not personal hatred but if that is the case then what is it? These were people that were fiercely loyal. When people get up in society they sometimes despise their past and seek to sanitise it by destroying the innocent. God does not let this behaviour slide if you claim to be His servant. God took it out on Saul's descendnats.

That is not the end of the story but in order to continue I digress a bit. On his accession Solomon offered one thousand burnt offerings at Gibeon (1 Kings 3:4, 2 Chronicles 1:6). It is hear that God appeared to him in a dream (1 Kings 3:5) and granted him wisdom (1 Kings 3:12, 2 Chronicles 1:712). Up to that time there was no fixed place for worship of God and Gibeon was an accepted place.

I Chronicles 16:39-40 [KJV] And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon, 40 To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;

but apparently Solomon continued to worship at high places after the establishment of the Temple (I Kings 3:3).

After the exile of the Israelites to Babylon, Gibeon belonged to Judea. In Rabbinic Judaism, the alleged descendants of the Gibeonites, known as Natinim, are treated differently from ordinary Jews. Up to now they submit to these discriminations and fear God. The social support system of Israel was to look after these people and when it did not God stepped in because they continued to fear Him. The ten tribes were scattered but God held on to the Gibeonites.

The demise of National support system

Many of us today are in the same situation as the Gibeonites. We fear God but do not have evidence of any Israelite ancestry. We are here by mercy and are sometime looked down on but those who think that they have pedigree or those who are passing. This happens at the national level. The leaders think that they belong to some superior group. They begin to focus on the desires of the rich (which means their own self interest) rather than the needs of the poor. This has lead to situations like the Philipenes and Haiti. Haiti is a particularly glaring example because it has persisted so long and is actually still going on in many ways. Even when Britain and teh US saw the injustice they chose to side with France and eve now the US perpetuates it and nobody repents and seek redress for Haiti. In a more subtle invasion the masters of the world undermined the political system in the US to exercise control there and subvert the support system for the poor and unfortunate.

The demise of Personal support system

The root of this demise is the same as that of the national system. We can all look back and see the difference in the good old days when we were all in the same bucket. Now some see themselves as passing i.e. they begin to identify with the goals of another more prosperous group. Once that happens the support system is in danger. We can each examine the following three areas for ourselves:

  • Employers - Employers and employees once saw themselves in a relationship for life. They cared for each other knowing that what was best for one was best for the other and that included God.
  • Friends - Friends are the people that you become intimate with. They know your private business and you know theirs. To me bonds of friendship once automatically included Godly righteousness i.e. doing right by people meant doing right by God. Today that seems lacking and the knowledge of God is missing from friendships.
  • Family - Family has suffered a similar fate to friendship. Most families feared God even if it was a superstitious fear.

In these relationships priorities have changed. Some believe that it is for the better and some for the worse. More material things but less spiritual things perhaps. These changes are reflected in our support system and its priorities. How do we cope when our foundation is shifting like sand and so many things have to be re-evaluated? What is family? What is friends? what is the employer-employee relationship?

Mob-hysteria

Are we making the adjustments to our social system based on mob mentality driven by an unscrupulous elite? In an earlier part of this article I touched on the situation with Christ and the high priests. They got the mob to murder one of their own to advance their position with the Romans. In the Bible we have other instances of mobs that evoke our disdain. The issue over Diana of the Ephesians and others. We claim that the people are ignorant and it could never be us.

If we look at the Wikipedia article on the subject Brainwashing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwashing we see various attitudes to its existence. Whatever men say God said that He hardened Pharaoh's heart and Jezebel affected Ahab so brainwashing is possible but it is officially denied by the medical fraternity and the higher ups. Since it cannot exist it cannot be a crime. Who benefits?

Governments and global institutions are deceitful. The Netflix documentary Seaspiracy deals with the issue of plastics. There was a recent plastics campaign to prevent the production and use of plastics in the domestic setting. The supposed reason is that they are the key tyrants that harm the ocean and kill endangered species. Is that true or is there a more pernicious culprit? The documentary noted above is among those that claim that the true problem is big business. The fishing industry kills more endangered species than anybody else and it is accepted as bycatch. When they trawl with their nets it is indiscriminate. In addition their nets severely damage the ocean floor and damage the ecosystem stunting its reproductive potential. For years it has been known that the practices of big enterprise fishing is unsustainable and probably a major factor in global warming. Marine life stirs the oceans and assist with circulating carbon dioxide. As the fish die off (and they apparently are at an alarming rate) this function is inhibited. Big business fishing is a terror and has driven small fishermen in African nations to crime and death because their catch is no longer available close to the shore. Now their tiny boats have to venture into the deep. It is also associated with slavery and human trafficking in places like Thailand. Why then is all the media attention on a few plastic bags and none on the fishing industry? Could it have anything to do with financial support? Institutions like Dolphin Safe that endorse fish packaging companies with labels actually cannot guarantee what they claim with those labels. Could that have anything to do with funding? The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is 46% discarded fishing nets not plastic bags!

TOWARDS AN ANCHOR TO A TRUE REALITY

WHAT IS COVID19

Coronaviruses are named from their appearance. They have characteristic club-shaped spikes that project from their surface, which in electron micrographs create an image reminiscent of the solar corona or halo, from which their name derives.

CORONAVIRUS

From Wikipedia:

CORONAVIRUS
. . . Coronaviruses are a group of related RNA viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans and birds, they cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses in humans include some cases of the common cold (which is also caused by other viruses, predominantly rhinoviruses), while more lethal varieties can cause SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. In cows and pigs they cause diarrhea, while in mice they cause hepatitis and encephalomyelitis.

Coronaviruses constitute the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae, in the family Coronaviridae, order Nidovirales, and realm Riboviria.[3][4] They are enveloped viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome and a nucleocapsid of helical symmetry.[5] The genome size of coronaviruses ranges from approximately 26 to 32 kilobases, one of the largest among RNA viruses.[6] They have characteristic club-shaped spikes that project from their surface, which in electron micrographs create an image reminiscent of the solar corona, from which their name derives.[7]. . .

History

Coronavirus disease was first described in 1931, with the first coronavirus (HCoV-229E) isolated from humans in 1965. Until the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome in late 2002, only two human coronaviruses (HCoV) were known – HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43. Once the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) had been identified, two further human coronaviruses were identified. Three groups of coronaviruses exist: group 1 (HCoV-229E and HCoV-NL63), group 2 (HCoVOC43 and HCoV-HKU1), group 3 (no human CoVs as yet). SARS-CoV is an outlier to all three groups, although some place it in group 2. . .

It is therfore not unreasonable to consider covid19 'the flu' or 'the cold' since this is the genreal treatment for decades. Influenza and Coronavirus actually look very similar and their symptoms are alike.

Was it bioengineered or a natural mutation? You may want to read The COVID lab-leak hypothesis: what scientists do and don’t know, 08 June 2021, https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01529-3

It is the uninformed that are being hysterical about this hypothesis. There are seveal indicators that it was not among any original samples collected and there are indications that it had help to spread to humans. Demands for proper research were not unreasonable but the results have not yet been returned.

THE COMMON COLD
Rhinovirus
The rhinovirus (from the Ancient Greek: ῥίς, romanized: rhis "nose", gen ῥινός, romanized: rhinos "of the nose", and the Latin: vīrus) is the most common viral infectious agent in humans and is the predominant cause of the common cold. Rhinovirus infection proliferates in temperatures of 33–35 °C (91–95 °F), the temperatures found in the nose. Rhinoviruses belong to the genus Enterovirus in the family Picornaviridae.

The three species of rhinovirus (A, B, and C) include around 160 recognized types of human rhinovirus that differ according to their surface proteins (serotypes).[1] They are lytic in nature and are among the smallest viruses, with diameters of about 30 nanometers. By comparison, other viruses, such as smallpox and vaccinia, are around ten times larger at about 300 nanometers, while flu viruses are around 80–120 nm

INFLUENZA

From www.News-medical.net:

Influenza (or the flu) is an infectious respiratory condition caused by influenza viruses. Influenza is different from the common cold. Unlike the common cold, influenza (flu) can lead to serious health complications such as pneumonia, otitis media, and death.

Although influenza can affect anyone at any age at any time of the year, it circulates at higher levels and can cause outbreaks during the winter in the northern hemisphere.

Young children, older people, and people with pre-existing health conditions are most at risk of complications from flu infection.

From Encyclopaedia Britannica:

Classification of influenza viruses

Influenza is caused by any of several closely related viruses in the family Orthomyxoviridae (a group of RNA viruses). Influenza viruses are categorized as types A, B, C, and D. These major types generally produce similar symptoms but are completely unrelated antigenically, so that infection with one type confers no immunity against the others. The A viruses cause the great influenza epidemics, and the B viruses cause smaller localized outbreaks. The C viruses cause only mild respiratory illness in humans. Influenza D viruses are not known to infect humans and have been observed only in pigs and cattle.

Influenza A viruses are classified into subtypes, and both influenza B and subtypes of influenza A are further divided into strains. Subtypes of influenza A are differentiated mainly on the basis of two surface antigens (foreign proteins)—hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). Examples of influenza A subtypes include H1N1, H5N1, and H3N2. Influenza B viruses are subdivided into two major lineages, B/Yamagata and B/Victoria. Strains of influenza B and strains of influenza A subtypes are further distinguished by variations in genetic sequence. . .

COVID19 VS. THE FLU

From the American Society for Microbiology:

Virology

Genome
Coronaviruses and influenza viruses are both enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses, and both are encapsidated by nucleoprotein. However, the genomes of these 2 viruses differ in polarity and segmentation. Influenza virus is comprised of 8 single-stranded, negative-sense, viral RNA segments. SARS-CoV-2 has single-stranded, non-segmented, positive-sense, viral RNA.

Surface Proteins
Both viruses possess distinguishing surface proteins that serve as important virulence factors for infection. SARS-CoV-2 is covered in spike (S) proteins that facilitate invasion of host cells. S proteins bind to the host cell receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which regulates blood pressure and fluid-salt balances and is expressed by multiple organ systems throughout the body, including the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, intestines, brain and adipose tissues. Upon binding, SARS-CoV-2 injects its RNA into the infected cell and uses host cell machinery to replicate its genome. Newly synthesized virus particles are then released to infect additional host cells.
 
Influenza viruses rely on the collaborative functions of 2 viral surface proteins, haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) to enter and exit host cells.
Ashley Hagen, M.S.COVID-19 and the FluAmerican Society for MicrobiologyWEBOct. 7, 2021

SEGMENTATION

Viruses that package all of their genome segments into a single particle are called segmented viruses, whereas those that package their genome segments into two or more particles are referred to as multipartite viruses. Humans have their genome packaged in 32 pairs of particles called chromasomes so a virus is much smaller.

POLARITY

With regard to polarity there are negative-sense and positive sense viruses. A virus depends on the host ribosome to make its protein and hence replicate itself. Ribosomes are the protein factories in a cell. Instructions for making proteins are pieces of modified RNA called mRNA. Ribosomes only read mRNA so viruses must present their gnome as mRNA to the ribosome. Snippets of the DNA code are transcribed into mRNA as messages for the ribosomes. It is just a part of the full DNA or RNA that form such messages. These messages (the mRNA) are transported out to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Once they arrive the ribosome produces that protein. So mRNA is not necessarily the whole RNA but a snippet that is used to send a message to the ribosome (the protein factory in the cell) to produce that protein. In (+ve) sense viruses the RNA that comes directly from the virus is mRNA. All other viruses are (-ve) sense viruses and the RNA that comes directly from them must be converted into mRNA. The enzyme that facilitates this is called polymerase so (-ve) sense viruses must bring their own polymerase. Influenza virus is comprised of 8 single-stranded negative-sense, viral RNA segments. SARS-CoV-2 has single-stranded, non-segmented, positive-sense, viral RNA.

negative-sense and positive sense viruses

These both have RNA rather than DNA but they differ in how quickly they can be translated. Positive-sense viral RNA is similar to mRNA and thus can be immediately translated (used by the ribosomes to make copies) by the host cell. Negative-sense viral RNA is complementary to (i.e. the chemical inverse of) mRNA and thus must be converted to positive-sense RNA by an RNA polymerase before it can be used as mRNA in translation. There is also the problem of the caspid or container of the virus. With Negative-sense viral RNA the original RNA may be used as a template to produce the proteins for the caspid as well as a complementary RNA strand which would now be +sense. Once that is done the +sense complementary strand can be used to produce the new virus and the coating or caspid proteins will have already been prepared.

+ssRNA is the abbreviation for positive-sense, single-stranded RNA. There is also -ssRNA which means negative-sense, single-stranded. The -ssRNA viruses use the viral enzyme RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) also called RNA replicase, which is encoded by all -ssRNA viruses. RdRp is the catalyst for producing the RNA strand complementary to a given strand of RNA given as a template. Typical DNA-dependent RNA polymerases catalyse the transcription of RNA from a DNA template.

Surface Proteins

A virus receptor can be defined as a host cell surface component of the target cell (i.e. an area on the host cell being targeted)  recognized by the virus as a gateway to entry into that cell. In other words it is the part of the cell that the virus recognises that it can exploit to gain entry.

Both viruses (covid and flu) possess compromising surface proteins that serve as platforms for their severity or harmfulness factors for infection. SARS-CoV-2 is covered in spike (S) proteins that facilitate invasion of host cells. S proteins bind to the host cell receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which regulates blood pressure and fluid-salt balances and is expressed by multiple organ systems throughout the body, including the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, intestines and brain but mostly in the lungs https://ccforum.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13054-020-03120-0. Upon binding, SARS-CoV-2 injects its RNA into the target cell and uses host cell machinery to replicate its genome.

Influenza viruses rely on 2 viral surface proteins, HAEMAGGLUTININ (HA) and NEURAMINIDASE (NA) to enter and exit host cells, hence the nomenclature HxNy like H1N1. The host cell receptor for influenza viruses is sialic acid, a sugar chain found almost everywhere attached to surface lipids and proteins of most host cells, as well as soluble proteins. HA preferentially binds to sialic acid on the surface of respiratory cells, and creates the breach for the virus. Once inside, influenza virus also releases its RNA to be copied thereby replicating itself. However, as long as HA remains bound to sialic acid on cell surfaces the copies cannot escape. NA disassociates sialic acid from the cell surface, which dislodges HA so that the new copies can escape.

To me the mechanisms used by the two viruses are similar and the symptoms are similar enough that it could be considered as the flu. The statistics on covid keeps changing but I have seen nothing to indicate that the virus does any more harm than the flu. It is the protocol that seems to be most dangerous.

IS THE JAB A JUST AND SENSIBLE APPROACH

The jab forces you body to create a pathogen that it will itself attack but that pathogen is not the actual virus. To me it is the most cost effective approach for the pharmaceutical industry and the most profitable approach for them, especially since they face no risk for malpractice as they would in developing another type of drug. In my opinion it is also the approach with the greatest risk and long term cost for citizens and increasingly so if people get jabs from infancy to adulthood. It disregards the persons ability to have a natural immune response and may completely overwhelm it. Is the approach of lock-down and mRNA induced immunity a sustainable approach? To me an approach that encourages people to avoid exposure to antibodies as a way of life and shut down economies of struggling nations is deadly. People's immune systems will continuously degrade and they will become dependent on artificial defences. The same will happen to economies. If this trend continues then for people to have pets then the pets will need inoculation because they may carry the virus asymptomatically. For farming to occur the animals will have to be sterile and on and on it goes and the $ are racking up for big pharma. All of this to deal with a virus that has a miniscule threat level. The response does not match the threat at all.

The jab is based on the version of the virus that was in China. It is specific. There are a host of variants and protection from the original does not ensure protection from the variants and the effectiveness is already low and still appears to be decreasing. Breakthrough cases are now common. This raises the possibility of having to get ten jabs each year. The medication based system protects against all variants. The risk related to the medication is almost nil but the risk of the jab exists and is very high by some reports. The medication is cheap and widespread but the jab now has to be developed. Persons who had the jab are a danger to others not the other way around and this was predicted from the beginning by one of the world's leading virologists, Geert Vanden Bossche. The people who take the jab can be asymptomatic and shed at an alarming rate causing others to be infected. To me the approach is not driven by science but by politics and the media. There is only one argument for the jab and that is its potential efficacy while the medication approach has fewer risks and is effective.
