Sorry but I have to disagree with you that this is God’s judgment. This coronavirus is man-made and the result of it caused the unemployment. However, God’s judgment is certainly coming ... Per Biblestudy.org In the Bible the number 17 symbolizes "overcoming the enemy" and "complete victory." God overcame the sins of rebellious humans when he began to flood the earth through rain on the 17th of the second Hebrew month. Noah's ark and its eight passengers rested on the mountains of Ararat on the 17th of the seventh month (right in the middle of God's annual Holy period known as the Feast of Tabernacles). Jesus Christ gained a complete victory over death and the grave when God resurrected him near sunset on Nisan 17 (Saturday, April 8, 30 A.D.). In the book of 1Corinthians the thirteenth chapter, the seventeenth mention of the word 'love' comes when the apostle Paul states that it is the greatest gift of all (1Corinthians 13:13). God's unending love (John 3:16) is truly victorious over all things. Those who stay faithful to God to the end of their lives will gain the victory over the grave when they are miraculously brought back to life (see 1Corinthians 15). Daniel 7's beasts have seven heads and ten horns, for a total number of 17. They represent world-ruling powers from Daniel's time to the Second Coming of Jesus. The devil's end-time system (Revelation 13) will have seven heads and ten horns, which totals 17. All mankind will very soon obey and worship the devil and the Beast power. They will war against those who have faith in Jesus and keep the commandments, thus achieving a victory (though short-lived) against God's people (Tribulation Saints) (Revelation 13:1 - 8). One of the major themes of the Day of Atonement (commonly referred to as Yom Kippur), which occurs in the seventh Hebrew month on the tenth day, is the binding of Satan (see Revelation 20). Thus, 10 plus 7 equal the number 17, which testifies to Christ's perfect overcoming of Satan. How does the number 17 symbolize our standing with God? In Romans 8:35 the apostle Paul asks a simple question which is "What shall separate us from the love of Christ?" (HBFV). He extends his question a little more by asking if the following seven things could separate us, which are tribulation, persecution, distress, nakedness, famine, the sword or any other danger. Paul then tells us ten things that cannot get between our God and us, which are life, death, principalities, powers, angels, things present or to come, depth, height or anything created. Thus we have 7 + 10 = 17, representing a Christian's perfect and eternal standing with God through Christ. - Fair Use- Just throwing numbers around and thinking out loud while half asleep surfing the net. : ) Not saying thus saith The Lord or anything. I can be a numbers freak so to me at first glance it looked like this... 3 = God/Trinity 3 weeks = 21 days (21 Judgments of Rev.) 17 - connected to the flood of Noah's day. My whole life is surrounded by the numbers 11 and 17 so they catch my eye a lot. In fact I lost my last job on 11/17/17 lol But since I'm a Born Again saved child of God I can claim Romans 8:28 : ) Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet. Geri7 Just throwing this out there, Apparently the first known case of Covid-19 was discovered on November 17th in a 55 y/o individual. Whenever I see the #5 I think of Satan's 5 "I will's" in Isaiah 14
