The Coronavirus and Bible Prophecy

Some Christians have linked this deadly virus strain with Bible Prophecy of the end time; specifically with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Rev.6). This seems to be an "extreme" view of prophecy. Corona Virus is not one of the final plagues of Revelation. The Bible prophecies clearly indicate that the world will be ravaged by many disasters including terrible disease epidemics in the end times. Most of them will occur during the Great Tribulation/Day of the Lord, after the Church Age. But the present disasters have great significance for our time today. The increase in natural calamities and pestilence remind us that the "Beginning of the End" has already arrived. The birth pangs are here. Disasters will be on the increase as "signs" of the times, and it will give us a glimpse of the larger things prophesied to come. Meanwhile, these tragedies are a "wake-up" call for the world to turn to the True and The Living God.
