THE OTHER VIRUS
By Dr. Paul Fedena
May 26, 2020
As if one virus isn’t enough, we are now facing one that could result in America’s demise. This one is a real killer! If you thought that COVID-19 was bad – “You ain’t seen nothin yet!” as they say. When the Coronavirus or the Wuhan virus dies down (and it will) the aftermath could be, and in my opinion will be, much worse. After our President announced that the States should reopen churches, Gov. Murphy of NJ called Pres. Trump and told him NJ churches would NOT reopen. Today one church in NJ did open (following all safety guides laid down by the State !) and there were signs on the property warning that those attending could be jailed or fined! I haven’t yet heard what the final outcome was. The pastor said he will sue the State of NJ if they follow through with their threats. AMEN!
I will be preaching and teaching INSIDE a NJ church next Lord’s Day and the pastor who has been threatened with arrest or heavy fines for him and his members called me today and said he is ready to go to jail if necessary if it means he will not be able to follow God’s call on his life to the ministry. (I don’t know if I will have to go with him since I will be preaching there? I too am willing.) Never in my 86 years have I seen the “powers that be” be so arrogant as to ignore the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution which guarantees our right to assemble and to practice our faith.
I believe we may be seeing the demise of our Republic after the country opens back up. (It never should have been shut down in the first place.) Praise the Lord for those who are standing up in spite of imprisonment and threats and even the loss of the businesses they built. (Should the pastors and churches in America do less? We should obey laws as long as they do not conflict with our mandates in Scripture. Paul and Peter went to prison and were martyred because they stood up to Caesar!)
Thank the Lord for the owner of the gymnasium in Bellmawr, NJ who stood up in spite of being arrested and fined. The police blocked the doors and the city shut off the water and sewage to his business! Also thank God for the two lady beauty salon owners (and others) who opened up their shops in spite of being fined and arrested.
These liberal (socialist?) governors have gotten a taste of power and they don’t want to relinquish it! As Rahm Emmanuel said under Pres. Obama: “Never let a good crisis go to waste!” America will never be the same! What if a liberal or socialist democrat gets elected President and Republicans lose the Senate?
Think about these things : (Look up HR6666 (yes, it’s real) and call your elected reps to oppose it!
Here are some things that may happen with
"THE OTHER VIRUS"...
🔸Apps (or drones like in China) to track our whereabouts at all times.
🔸Further intrusions on our privacy via the internet, social media, etc.
🔸More home and business invasions by the “authorities” for whatever reason they dream up.
🔸Businesses being shut down because of new “safety violations” (who ever heard of “social distancing” before?).
🔸Routine personal temperature checks in public places to ban us from entering former “public” spaces.
🔸Hotels, etc. will no longer be able to have breakfast bars, etc. – and due to limited occupancy, charge more.
🔸Public transportation, airlines, cruises, vacations, etc. will be more expensive due to sanitizing, and limits on tourist numbers.
🔸Doctors may eliminate personal services and simply meet with patients online (as now) and order prescriptions on the phone.
🔸Sports and entertainment venues may be permanently shut down or jack up prices due to attendance limits.
🔸Restaurants will limit patrons inside, distancing tables, thus reducing revenue and raise their prices.
🔸More attacks on the 1st and 2nd amendments further controlling our movements and guns.
🔸No one should be able to circumvent our freedom documents…governors and presidents included, but they will try.
🔸Police are not bound by unconstitutional rules or executive orders…they are sworn to uphold freedom documents and protect us.
🔸Schools, including colleges, raising tuitions and going to fewer teachers and increasing online learning.
🔸No more public gatherings (church services, weddings, funerals, et.al).
🔸Shutting down senior citizens venues, nursing homes, etc. and relegating the aging population (like me!) to State run institutions.
🔸No more visiting in hospitals and possibly Govt. limitations on even visiting loved ones.
YES, THIS “OTHER VIRUS” is more deadly than COVID-19!!! Believe it!
