Is COVID-19 like the plagues of the Old Testament? | @Dr. Michael S. Heiser

????

Some religions teach that their god punishes people for sin to keep them in a state of fear and obedience. Is the God of the Bible like that? Does God punish us for our sins here on earth? And is Covid a punishment for rebelling against Him? Sure, He sent the plagues against Egypt, but it does not mean that all-natural disasters are a judgment from God. Michael Heiser explains the power of God and the judgment we should all be more concerned about than anything that happens here on earth. ???? ???????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Covid absolutely comes from The LORD God! It came to expose modern day Christians & all their bravado of Divine healing 😒😒 Imagine covid in the time of the 1st church?, people like Stephen, Philip, Paul, Peter etc would laugh at Corona virus 🤣🤣

Is he saying that even in eden that we could still die, based off the example he used about adam wanting to live in the ocean and that it not being possible?

really? cause america and other places are sinning just like the middle east back then
@arslanthelion9373 Says:
Why is Google placing a label for Covid misinformation on this video? Do they have a different opinion on Covid being used as God's punishment? 😅😂
@rocketeightyseven1823 Says:
Something to think about. If disease and infirmities are the works of God toward those He loves..or I have heard, "If you had more faith..God would heal you," then why was Paul's eyes never healed? Or..I have heard this, "It's God's will for you to prosper." It is His will for us to prosper, but who said prosperity always equals money? If that's the case...then...why was Jesus poor? We need to let God be God and come to the conclusion, we will never fully figure Him out. Blaming God for Covid is like blaming God for the common cold.
@John14-6... Says:
Yes I totally get what he's saying but in modern times we now have man made plagues being made in underground laboratories and possibly even man made disasters
@John14-6... Says:
I am a big fan of Dr. Heiser and read a couple of his books. It's funny when he answers questions because he often chuckles first and then gets down to the nitty gritty

If Evil does exist it must exist in physical form.

His mustache is very sharp.
@Matthew_Holton Says:
No, covid-19 is a disease caused by the Sars-cov-2 virus and is steadily being contained and defeated by the application of science (including evolutionary knowledge). The Plagues of the OT were generally not diseases, often bizarre and almost certainly mythical.
@slft47 Says:
Covid is to stop wmscog preaching from samaria and to the ends of the earth... because thats the last prophecy before were raptured, not many countries left😎
@pmall4899 Says:
VERY GOOD DOES NOT MEAN PERFECT? I have to thank you (Dr. Turek) as part of the Trinity (as I call it) that brought me to Christ; You, Less Feldick and Kent Hovind were crucial in leading me to faith in the resurrected Jesus. I do however question your giving Dr. Heiser a platform on your show. Take it for what it's worth but I do not believe a fraction of what he says and not only in this video but everywhere else I have seen him.
@jakesplace62 Says:
This guy just said that being harmed and natural disasters are a part of being very good. Why do you listen to this guy Dr. Turek? If it's just because he has a piece of paper that say he knows something well doesn't mean what he knows it true.
@samcotten2416 Says:
The plagues of the Old Testament were not created in a Chinese lab—by humans—and then intentionally released—by humans—for the purpose of stealing an election. That’s the difference.
@nothingbutthetruth613 Says:
It almost sounds like he is saying God is not pulling the strings unless it's with something we would deem a "plague". I hope not because that would be complete heresy. Covid as well as any so called plague is being orchestrated by the hand of God and no one else. It might not be to the same degree or as obvious but it is all part of the master plan. It is irrelevant if it looks like nature or not.

If God does not act fast, all will be lost......
@rijin_thomas_23 Says:
Hey folks, I have a question. Can God create an object that is unbreakable and him being omnipotent, can he break it?
@adamsandler1679 Says:
Wow it proves their is a God that is full of bs but i like how he is using plagues to justify he is great so inspiring God is in control
@sierraclark6129 Says:
“If you declare with your mouth “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). Now is the time to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Obey His commands and repent of your sins because Jesus is coming back soon. Tomorrow isn’t promised.

Good video! God bless this ministry.
@briantumaini7700 Says:
@ Frank Turek... Where is the Garden of Eden Exactly is it in heaven or in the Earth?...
@chewiey1204 Says:
Problem is COVID is not "natural" disaster but man made from a lab leak in China.
@faithbycatholicism1416 Says:
Suffering , violence, and plagues are the result of SIN!!! NOT God!!! God has nothing to do with suffering. Suffering is a symptom of a disease....the disease of SIN!!
@mbkkt9094 Says:
Well no, they are not like the plagues of the old testament. We have demonstrable proof Covid has actually occurred
@buckybarnes3803 Says:
This guy says "God may throw down a plague, God may use a natural disaster." Yet Frank constantly states that God is only good and therefore not the source of evil.
@emojidinosaur7300 Says:
Covid -19 has never been isolated.
@catherinequake2621 Says:
God wants people to stop sining and to repent. He will pour out his wrath to those who do not want to repent because God is holy and he hates sin but love the sinners. The penalty of sin is death and separation from God in a place of judgment called Hell. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Roman 6:23 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Amen
@tongakhan230 Says:
How about Satan bringing on these woes to hinder people from hearing the preaching of Jesus' true followers. The Covid has stopped the house to house. Preaching. But Matthew 24:14 is being fulfilled nonetheless.
@kevin_d1988 Says:
Hold on.. man created this virus. Why would this be a plague as referred in old testament?
@KevykevHID Says:
Adam and Eve could NOT die if they were sinless. Death spiritual and physical is a wage that is paid out due to sin. Rom 6:23
@zeddicuszorrander3599 Says:
I like that the speaker said, "natural disasters may not be God punishing us." But I think you're extremely overthinking things if you say anything beyond: "Why would God use natural disasters to punish we? We wouldn't know THAT we were being punished, and we wouldn't know WHY we were being punished. So, the punishment would be useless because we could not change?"
@darlalei4303 Says:
I don't really have a different perspective, except ALL is from God. We just have an opinion about it. 😆
@jordanmeyers2353 Says:
Amen! Thanks for this!
@vincitomniaveritas8491 Says:
Nop, covid is a biological/economic weapon (Peter Daszak, Ecohealth Alliance, etc.) and the globalists like Schwab & cia. are in a hurry to reach all they can do in this interlude. 2030 is coming. Wake up, brothers.
@TTKChrisking Says:
The only plague that we are experiencing is that of the "Build Back Better" kind.
@mikeramos91 Says:
Covid is not a plague brought by God. This is all planned by the people who run this world in order to gain more control & kill people off. And apparently, it happens every 100 years. 1720 there was the plague, 1820 there was Colera, 1920 there was Spanish flu, and now 2020 there’s covid. There seems to be a pattern going on. Every hundred years pandemics are used to reset society!
@CoachJJGo Says:
That mustache tho!
@misc.endeavours8343 Says:
God's creation was what He wanted. Sin got in, corrupted much and continues to wreak havoc. At a point in what we call the future God's version of things will reign supreme again - but the components may be quite changed.
