Plagues in History....Can The Past Meet the Present??

Historically, pandemics were often interpreted as something more significant than microbes as viruses or bacteria—many cultures viewed them as manifestations of moral failings.

The Black Death, known as “The Great Mortality,” killed an estimated 15 million people between 1347 and 1350. It is rated as the worst pandemic recorded of plagues in human history.

At the time, the Black Death was seen as a warning of God's wrath for man's moral corruption. As recorded in the book, “The Great Mortality,” one of the most widely circulated public documents—a Heavenly Letter–during the Black Death period, read, “O ye of little faith ... Ye have not repented of your sins ... therefore I have sent against you the Saracens and heathen people, earthquake, famine, beasts ...”

Christians were persecuted throughout the Roman Empire two millennia earlier, beginning in the 1st century A.D.

In 64 A.D., Roman emperor Nero initiated a brutal persecution of Christians, wrongly blaming them for a catastrophic fire in Rome. He inflicted severe torture, using Christians as prey for wild beasts and burning them alive as human torches.

Over time, 10 Roman emperors, from Nero, Domitian, Trajan, to Diocletian, continued this persecution, with the most severe persecution occurring under Diocletian’s reign from 303 to 312 A.D.

According to historical records, Ancient Rome was frequently plagued by pandemics, with roughly one significant disease outbreak occurring every 10 to 20 years.

One of the biggest pandemics, “The Antonine Plague,” began in 165 A.D. The pandemic was reported to be smallpox, and it contributed to the empire’s decline.

When comparing COVID-19 with the historical plagues in Rome, similarities appear.

The COVID-19 pandemic occurred in 2019 when the Chinese regime was not only cracking down on Christian churches and believers but also continuing the 25-year-long persecution of Falun Gong, a traditional belief counting 100 million adherents based on moral values of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance. Like Christianity and other religious belief systems, Falun Gong is based on moral values of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance.

Ever since the CCP took rule of the Chinese mainland in 1949, the totalitarian government has rid people of their freedom of spiritual belief and violated their basic human rights.

Independent investigations have revealed that the Chinese regime has been killing prisoners of conscience, primarily Falun Gong practitioners, and forcibly harvesting their organs—in many cases—these horrors occur while they are still alive.

The location where COVID-19 originated from and hit most severely is China, suggesting the main issue is closely linked with China.
