Most are aware of this verse:

2 Chronicles 7:14

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from  their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.

However, the verse before particularly applies to our day and what many are suffering this year, 2020:

2 Chronicles 7:13

When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people . . .

The whold world is suffering from coronavirus; parts of Africa, Asia and Europe have also suffered severely from locusts this year and many may starve next year because of it.  Here in Arizona we are currently suffering a lack of rain.

It's interesting in verse 13 it uses the word or between each affliction, yet this year some places are suffering at least 2 out of three of these things.  And noteworthy that God takes credit for sending these afflictions.

As the Lord has said:

I will bless whom I will bless, and curse whom I will curse!

Any person or nation which worships idols, false God's and demonic entities cannot expect the His blessings!

And as scripture quoted above, we firstly have to be His people!

Although God does speak to us in layers and plainly throughout scripture— this is foremost to Israel .... the earth groaning under the weight of sin can certainly be seen on every continent. In my neck of the woods, we have an abundance of rain, flood stage, hurricanes off the coast, and weird temps.. in the upper mid west there is snow .... the supply chains are either suffering or being hijacked by the globalists, the earthquakes are increasing again as the tectonic plates shift and the undersea volcanoes erupt. The Ring of Fire has not stopped its activity in three years now —- so thankful, we are soon out of here. :prayer-hands:

Everything but a neon sign pointing towards Heaven!

Indeed dealing with the judgements and wrath of God and the anger and hatred of Satan, Earth and life won't hold the allure it did for many!

Again while Heaven will be filled with sinners, Hell will be filled with nice people!

Truly sad!
