Coronavirus and its ilk

For those of you who don't believe in God. For those of you who can go outside and see all the glory all around you and still believe we went from a rock floating through space to one that magically had life on it and the ability to sustain that life. For those of you who believe that the Bible is nothing more than just a collection of stories that could not possibly be true tell me why is it that what we are living in now is directly from the Bible. Go to your Bible and look up  2 Chronicles 7:13 which says (and this is from the Lord) "

2 Chronicles 7:13-14 (NIV)

13 When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, (emphasis mine)
 "Maybe you are saying: OK, I can see that pestilence is a epidemic disease meaning the Coronavirus but I have not seen any droughts or locusts. Well, just because God has so far protected us in Texas from drought and locusts there are places in our country and/or the world where it is happening. Here are just some of the recent articles relating to the droughts.

You'll notice I did not have to go years back to find these. Most of them are this year with a couple of them being last year. And as far as the Coronavirus goes... Well, on Dec. 31, 2019 the government in Wuhan, China, confirmed that health authorities were treating dozens of cases. And on Jan. 11th (my birthday go figure) China reported its first death. So, we have all of this from just one verse in the Bible happening all at the same time. Fortunately God in His mercy told us in the very next verse what to do when we see this happen.

Footnote: This all was brought about by a wonderful sermon that my Pastor gave. A link to it (and I highly suggest you  watch it is --- https://www.facebook.com/chad.kirk.357/videos/10221459804715718/UzpfSTEwMDAwMDk0OTA0NTgxNjozNjM0Mjc5NTEzMjgwMzE0/
