  • Daniel on Revelation 6 - 3 years ago
    I believe that this fake virus was the opening of the first seal of Revelation.

    The word pharmacy comes from the Greek word pharmakeus, which comes from pharmakon meaning 'magician' or 'sorcerer' in Strong's concordance.

    Revelation 9:20-21 (KJB)

    [20] And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

    [21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries (Strong's Greek 5333 - pharmakn), nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

    Revelation 6:1-2 (KJB)

    [1] And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

    [2] And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

    Corona is latin for 'crown'. Coronavirus - 'crown'virus.

    A bow but with no arrows. Conquering with a bow without arrows, which I believe means there is no actual warfare. This fake virus is a 'global pandemic', and has effectively 'conquered' the world: mask wearing, social distancing etc.

    Strong's Concordance - toxon: a bow

    Strong's Exhaustive Concordance - 'From the base of tikto; a bow (apparently as the simplest fabric) -- bow.'

    Toxic comes from the word toxon.

    This fake virus could possibly be regarded as 'toxic', or at least the 'effects' of it.

    Fabric - mask wearing - these masks can be essentially seen as simple fabrics.

    Mandated mask wearing - covering the face with a "fabric". A large amount of emphasis has been placed on wearing these masks for this fake virus e.g., people posting pictures with the emphasis being placed on the masks they are wearing. Masks have been required for travel, entrance to stores etc.

    I think you are right and that we are seeing the beginning of the reign of the anti Christ right now
  • Daniel - In Reply on Revelation 6 - 3 years ago
    Hi Tatjana,

    Please note that are still some years left before the antichrist is revealed based on Daniel 11:13, and this is after the wars in Daniel 11:6-12 have taken place. I believe that the opening of the second seal will be the beginning of the wars that are written in Daniel 11:6-45, since even with this 'virus' the world is still at peace.

    Daniel, may the spirit grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    You are leaving out the perimeters set fourth in the first three verses in Revelation 1-3

    .....which shortly come to pass.....

    ....signified....

    .....the time is at hand....

    Revelation 22:10 And he said unto me, SEAL NOT the sayings of the prophecy of this book: FOR THE TIME IS AT HAND.

    The truths in this book had the same meaning 1900 years ago to those readers as it does to readers today and will have the same meaning to readers in the future.

    Daniels words were sealed until the day of the Lord (first time, Christ in the flesh; second time CHRIST IN YOU in a glorified body; to those who look for him, as the Holy Spirit). The Lamb of God who only is worthy to open the seals and declare the MYSTERY of his WORKS which is CHRIST IN YOU. TRUTH, RESURRECTION, and IMMORTALITY.

    Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his SECRETS UNTO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS.

    The answers to Revelation are hidden in the words of the prophets.

    Revelation 22:19 Is a warning: are your answer coming from the prophets or a secular mind.

    (KJB) should be (KJV) and 'pharmakn' should be 'pharmakon'. The 'o' had an accent on it which was removed.
