The article never mentioned Corona,
Ebola and many others has come n go, JW didn't turn Ur attention to the awake.

Sometimes it's good we think before reacting to useless comments by useless person seeking undue attention

And do you need to attend any university to be taught "how to mind your business"?.. Is minding your business that difficult for you to do?

it seems so many Nigerians can't read and comprehend properly, this is Not a prophesy or prediction But series of detailed health, environmental analysis based on correlating events. The Awake even made inclusion of quotes from other sources. Nigerians learn how to read an article and comprehend what you read. Who doesn't know that the Awake magazine touches more on education, current affairs and general events compared to the Watchtower that deal mainly with theocratic stuff.

We go soon see olumba olumba prediction.

The virus is spreading already, killing people, killing businesses and economies at large, the talk should be more of finding possible solutions, here on nairaland it should be more of educating people on how to maintain personal hygiene to at least try preventing ourselves from getting infected and not about who predicted what and when angry

It is a pretty common occurrence, and you can be sure that it will happen again with yet another Coronavirus in the next 2-3 decades. And the next one will probably start from China as well. 3 of the 4 new strains of flu viruses did, all originally from animal hosts.

So there is nithing miraculous either about this prediction or Dean Koontz's.

I am a Jehovah's Witness and I can tell you that we will never take "credit" for this.

The way it is reported here makes one believe we made a prophecy that has come to pass. It wasn't that way.

The Bible did predict there will be pestilences during our day and that is what is happening now (Read Luke 21:11). We are simply rehashing what anyone else can see written in the Bible.

SARS was also a coronavirus, and it also jumped to people from animals in the wet markets.

SARS emerged in Guangdong and infected 8,098 people over the course of eight months, killing 774 Patients experienced fevers, headaches, and a type of deadly pneumonia that could cause respiratory failure.

Experts called SARS “the first pandemic of the 21st century,” since it spread across 29 countries. The disease hasn’t been seen in humans since July 2003.

The Awake magazine writer in predicting another virus quoted the medical journal, Vaccine, of 2003, which warned: “It has been 35 years since the last influenza pandemic, and the longest interval between pandemics recorded with certainty in 39 years. The pandemic virus may emerge in China or a nearby country and could surface from antigens or virulence factors derived from animal influenza viruses.


“It will spread rapidly throughout the world. Several waves of infection will occur. Morbidity will be extensive in all age groups, and there will be widespread disruption of social and economic activity in all countries. Excess mortality will be evident in most, if not all age groups. It is unlikely that health care systems in even the most economically developed countries will be able to adequately cope with the demand for health care services.”

True to this prediction, the influenza pandemic again began in China in December 2019, from where it has spread to other parts of the world.

The virus has presented huge problems to China and the World Health Organisation in its containment.

This is why they keep playing with the name of Jesus. Because we play with it knowingly and unknowingly. Ever seen them mention Mohammed anyhow? Get a grip of yourself you disgust me for being the one who detects who is worthy to call the name of Jehovah.

I wonder why some people are using this Awake article to bring JW down. To set the fact straight, JW don't predict or prophecies. And if you believe this you're so gullible. The article is just a fact according to scientific research. Don't drag JW name into the mud by spitting this

The deadly Coronavirus or COVID-19 was predicted by an article published by the Jehovah’s Witness, a religious group, 15 years ago, in its magazine, Awake! But the world ignored the warning.

According to the article “The Next Global Epidemic, WHEN?” published in the December 22, 2005, edition of Awake!, the world was alerted that a pandemic virus might emerge in China or a nearby country in the future.

It also warned that it might emanate from an animal and could surface from antigens or virulence factors derived from animal influenza viruses.

The prediction, seen by some analysts as opportunistic, came two years after the end of another pandemic virus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak that started in November 2002.
