Commentary: The word plague in the Hebrew is Strong’s #5061. This word appears about 75 times in the Old Testament. However different English words are used in translated passages for this Hebrew root word as we shall see! The plague is acquired by physical contact with something God forbids! Sin! It could be from eating birds of prey like the bat that God forbids in the Book of Leviticus! Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden that led to physical death to all mankind! It could be acquired like AIDS from homosexual activity! The outcome from plagues can have very different outcomes based upon the scriptures! What did King David say in Psalm 38:11? “My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my [sores] and my kinsman stand afar off.” Sores is another English word for the Hebrew root word plague! The Coronavirus leads to social isolation! All plagues lead to this fact! In Psalm 39:10 David says, “Remove thy {stroke] away from me, I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.” The English word stroke is the same Hebrew root word for plague, Strong’s #5061. Now some good news! In Psalm 91:10 David says, “There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any [plague] come nigh thy dwelling.” The Hebrew word plague translated here is the same Strong’s 5061. More good news in Isaiah 53:8 a Messianic prophecy says, “He (Jesus) was taken from prison and from judgment, and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he [stricken].” Stricken is the same word for plague, Strong’s 5061. So will a plague consume you or stay away from your dwelling place? Unforgiven sin is the foundation of all judgment and judgment by God! Repentance is critical for deliverance from all plagues! Not just church attendance but repentance! So how bad does it need to get before the Pastor’s across America call for National repentance? I have not heard of one Pastor calling for National repentance? Repentance for abortion, gay marriage, homosexuality, transgenderism, atheism, Marxism, Darwinism, drugs, witchcraft, open borders, disrespect of all authority both spiritual and civil. The cancel culture and mockery of the Christian faith and National respect of America and her great history! Political correctness to remove all vestiges of Christ in our culture! If you think a vaccine is your Savior then you are a fool! If you do not trust Christ through this world wide epidemic then you have no protection! Things are not bad enough for National repentance yet so we wait until we get to a point where there is a spiritual awaking among those that see Christ is their only hope! In the mean time promote the Gospel and help those even sacrificially that have no hope! Then share where your hope is in! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
