Surely, the present Pandemic is not the worst, and will NEVER be the WORST that will ever happen to ALL Mankind.

All troubles and calamities on earth before, during and after the pandemic are still the result of the Fall of Man: Disobedience/Sin of Man from the beginning; which led to DEATH.

Death then became a GREAT enemy since then: in fact, no one would take the Pandemic and other common Troubles seriously if not because they are most times Deadly.

Meanwhile, has recorded in the Scriptures, things like this Pandemic shouldn't take any TRUE FOLLOWER of Jesus has a Shock nor by Surprise:

Matt.24.7 - For nation "will" rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there WILL be FAMINES, PESTILENCES, and earthquakes in VARIOUS places.

Matt.24.8 - All THESE are the BEGINNING of "sorrows".

Did you "catch" VERSE 8 well? If not, please do. (See Matt. chap. 24 altogether)

Now, let's take a quick look at some past and future WORSE things leading to major DEATHS:

PAST

Gen.7.21 - And all flesh DIED that moved on the earth: birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, AND EVERY MAN. (died)

(So, ALL except the Eight in the Ark (Noah and his family) DIED.

Note: The Ark is the picture of the true Church of our time: the FEW saved believers, who have REPENTED and are pursuing HOLINESS of the heart in Jesus.

FUTURE

Rev.9.15 - And the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were turned loose TO KILL ONE-THIRD of ALL "the People on Earth.

Nonetheless, THE WORST of all will be during the reign of THE ANTICHRIST, and about the End of the World altogether. (See Matt. Chap. 24; 2nd Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. Chapters 13,14,15,16,19):

Revelation 13:17 KJV
And that NO MAN mighty buy or sell, save he that had the MARK, or the NAME of the beast, or the number of his name.

Death may come for anyone, but God has made away for us through Jesus to ESCAPE The Second Death--Eternity in Hell.

It's time to REPENT of Sins and Dead Religions of Men that don't lead to Obedience to Jesus according to the New testament.

We can't fast and PRAY AWAY things that has been written and will surely happen, but we can HUMBLE ourselves in repentance, Obey and seek GRACE from Jesus to ENDURE ALL tough times of THE PRESENT AND FUTURE till the End, in order to be Saved. Matt. 24:24.

Now, this may be a type of pandemic or something else, but apparently, it will be WORSE than COVID-19: because it will kill ONE-THIRD of Mankind.

Nonetheless, THE WORST of all will be during the reign of THE ANTICHRIST, and about the End of the World altogether. (See Matt. Chap. 24; 2nd Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. Chapters 13,14,15,16,19):

May the good Lord bless his Word in our hearts and keep us to abide by it daily in Jesus name, Amen.

Seconded!

James 1:2-4 KJV
My brethren, COUNT it all joy when ye fall into DIVERS temptations;

[3] Knowing this , that the trying of your faith worketh PATIENCE.

[4] But let PATIENCE have her PERFECT work, that ye may be PERFECT and entire, wanting NOTHING.

Matthew 24:8,11,13 KJV
All these are the beginning of SORROWS.

[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive MANY.

[13] But he that shall ENDURE unto the END, the same shall be SAVED.

Matt.24.37 - As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Matt.24.38 - For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,

Matt.24.39 - and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

When you read Matt 24 and its parallel in Luke 21, it is interesting to note that Jesus actually indicated the time period of when the things He spoke of would happen.

He said that THIS GENERATION (i.e. the audience He was directly addressing at THAT time NOT a generation 2000 years after) Luke 21:32, Matt 24:34.

And scripturally, a generation is 40 years. (Matt 1)

Hence, when God told Moses that THAT generation wouldn't enter the promise land, He wasn't thinking about a generation 2000 years away, it was the people he was with THEN. That's why they spent 40 years in the wilderness for THAT generation to die off.

A generation is 40 years.

So, with respect to Matt 24 and its parallel Luke 21, Jesus said those things he spoke of would be fulfilled in THAT generation.

A deeper study of the scriptures and a good knowledge of world history of THAT generational period will show that Jesus was (of course) right.

This is something worth pondering on.
