The word corona is a Spanish word that means crown! The CDC named this virus because it’s covered with crown like spikes. Let us look at our scripture today: Revelation 19:12 “His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns, and he had a name written that no man knew, but he himself.” Comment: Mortal men who succumbed to disease and death nailed Jesus to a Cross with spikes! They put a crown of thorns on his head! So even this coronavirus is a picture that points to the need of a Savior! Science itself reveals the truth of a people who without him evolve into death! Jesus wears a Victor’s Crown! Victory over death, hell and the grave! He rose from the dead and will raise you from the dead! Some into everlasting life and some into everlasting judgment! Creation itself even in it’s death points to life! Points to the remedy for sin! Remember that old hymn? Crown Him With Many Crowns! The Lamb Upon The Thrown! Some things never change! Evolution will never change God! It will never change death! It will only confirm it! The same yesterday, today and forever! Life, death and Redemption is a constant! If on this earth your cannot see the Savior while living you will see him after your death! At the judgment seat of Christ! Either your life here on earth or your life after death will point you to the Savior! Live for him today with joy, peace, and praise for him! Some here on earth praise him and some curse him! What will you do with the breath he has given you? God conquered hate with love! He conquered death with the resurrection from death! By his stripes we are healed! His blood as a sacrifice for our blood! Only he deserves to wear a Crown! The twenty four elders around the throne in Heaven cast their crowns down before him! Only he is worthy! He won a victory for you! The question is will your receive this victory for your life? The crown of the Coronavirus with it’s crowns and spikes reminds us that there is only one crown that will defeat it! Defeat death with life! The Christ that wears the Crown for you in Heaven soon to return to earth! A true picture of the Cross is a Crown of Victory over death demonstrated by a God that loves you so much that he gave himself for you the only sacrifice for sin that is acceptable to him! His sacrifice makes you acceptable to him! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Crowns! Revelation 4:10
In the Kingdom of Heaven it is His work that will be crowned, not yours! Anything in you that He has not wrought Himself will count for nothing! Johannes Tauler (1300-1361). Comment: This statement might let the hot air out of your balloon? Just a piece of humble pie will help us! Let us look at Revelation 4:10 The events described in Chapter four is the Rapture of the Church! The earthly residence of the Church is moved to Heaven! There are other scriptures that support this like the dead in Christ being raised first! The events found in this chapter are astounding to say the least! People are not falling to sleep in church here! Part of the scene here is the 24 elders clothed in white rainment and having gold crowns on their heads! Old is gold especially in Heaven! Remember the Sanhedrin was made up of 70 elders who many believe the Apostle Paul had been a member. We get our word Presbyterian from this Greek word! The elders were worshiping Christ around the Throne of God! Then they cast down their crowns before the Throne of God! There are different root words used in our Bible for our English word crowns! The word used here is not a King’s crown! Tell me more? It is a crown given to those as would have won a military battle! You might call it the Medal of Honor! The crown was woven of oak or ivory! Wood was used like in the Cross or the crown of thorns. Then it was dipped in gold! You have probably heard of the oak leaf cluster! Given to brave soldiers in battle! The 24 elders had enough sense to know that they conquered in Jesus Name! So this old theologian who lived in the 1300’s got it right! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
