JESUS SAID THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE, THAT IS AN ENDLESS SPIRITUAL FREEDOM

 

One of Jesus' miracles, walking on the sea

While preaching the word of God, Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him that “If you remain faithful to my word, you will truly be my disciples; you will know the truth and the truth will make you free”

 

Jesus was talking about spiritual freedom, but till today, many still don’t understand.

 

Jesus knew that if we proclaim the truth, the world will hate us. He confirms it by saying that “You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.”

 

In fact, many continue to suffer, be oppressed, and even killed for the truth; therefore, he was talking about spiritual freedom. Real freedom doesn't exist, and it will never be so far as the world has monsters living amongst us as human beings.

 

Just as many are confused today about this statement Jesus made thousands of years ago, the same Jews misunderstood and answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone. How can you say you will become free?”

 

Jesus replied, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever sins is a slave to sin. Now the slave does not stay in the house forever, but the son always stays there; so if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. What a great man, full of unparalleled wisdom!

 

The biblical stories, whether tampered with or fabricated fantasy stories, as atheists want us to believe or accept, remain the best book to read. The bible has transformed many lost souls and brought the prodigal sons and daughters back home to their distraught parents.

 

The bible has given hope, comfort, and salvation to many who previously contemplated committing suicide because of hardships, crimes, cruelties, oppression, suffering, and diseases that have plagued mankind from generation to generation.

 

Out of love, God offers his only Son as a sacrifice, for our salvation. Jesus performed many miracles. He raises the dead; spreads the Gospel to every corner of the world with his disciples. He walks on the waters, defends the oppressed and the persecuted. That wasn’t the end; he feeds five thousand people with five loaves and two fish and casts out demons.

 

Today, we are witnessing a different world. Churches, government officials, politicians, etc, put their hands on the bible to swear oaths, later they mock the bible and do things contrary to what is written in the holy book.

 

Nobody apart from Jesus raised the dead, yet today, there are people in our midst who decide who must live and die. A man kills his wife for life insurance; a woman kills her husband to inherit the property both have worked hard for. 

Armed robbers kill a couple, steal money, and snatch away a car. These are the disturbing news we receive daily from many parts of the world.

 

Despite Jesus assuring us that the truth shall set us free, it’s sad to narrate the tragedies, suffering, killings, oppression, domination, and the psychological torture, many have experienced because of the simple truth.

 

From the past generation to the current, if you don’t join the empire of deceitful enemies to sing their choruses of lies, hypocrisy, deceptions, and clandestine crimes, you are considered a threat and dangerous to society.

 

Since it takes courage to speak the truth, many are scared, and therefore, don’t want to be hurt, injured, lose their friends, or killed; thus, many have become chronic liars till the time they will depart from this earth.

 

As a believer of the scriptures myself, there are great words, Psalms, etc, that give us the nourishment, courage, hope, joy, and happiness to endure such oppressions that many can’t handle.

 

Whether the great stories in the bible are true or not, our faith in them has worked for us for decades; therefore, we are neither going to deny the Highest nor the Holy Bible.

 

This is one of the reasons, despite the harsh experiences Africans have passed through, the suicide rate on that continent is lower than that of Europe and America.

 

We are all facing the toughest time in this coronavirus pandemic. As a matter of fact, it’s not the wearing of the mouth mask that can save you. 

It is not the observation of the social distancing rules that can save you, and surely, it’s not the recommended vaccination that can save your life, because we have obeyed all these health rules, yet the infections keep rising daily across the world.

 

Continue to obey those recommended health rules, but look unto God for your survival because there are more lies and deceptions associated with the coronavirus than the truth.

 

We were told it kills old people, but today we know that the disease kills the poor, rich, old, young, including children.

 

Let God be your shield if all medical recommendations and rules have failed, because the assurance God gives us is “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Highest will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Together As One Let's Fight This Coronavirus Pandemic

Hate and division can't conquer the coronavirus

If a mistake is done, the correction is often difficult because of obstacles one may encounter, the same thing applies to the coronavirus pandemic. Since last year, the disease which originates from China has decimated the world in a cruel manner that the situation seems to be out of control.

Initial methods to prevent the spread of disease were better handled by many countries across the globe, while other countries that lack the right plans or resources to deal with the situation, allowed the disease to take control over its population.

Despite that Spain and Italy were among the countries that recorded the highest death tolls, they have derived proper measures to deal with the situation, while the cases in the United States of America keep rising without an immediate solution.

Why a country as the United States of America with one of the best health systems keep recording a high number of deaths daily? Many people around the globe following the coronavirus crisis in the country blame the high cost of medical insurance which many people, including the African-Americans, can't afford.

However, examining the political situation in the United States of America, one can't blame the crisis on high medical insurance alone in the country. It is very easy to identify that one of the major causes which have worsened the coronavirus situation in the country is 'political.'

Many people, including the opposition, hate Donald Trump and, therefore, want him to fail. Instead of Americans coming together to fight the disease, they remain divided, using politics as a tool to make things and the handling of the pandemic very difficult for Donald Trump.

It's not a hidden agenda that even though many openly show their support and admiration to the president, he is also surrounded by an empire of deceitful enemies who are not only praying for his failure but also will do everything to see the downfall of Donald Trump. 

Donald Trump's enemies are not giving him any help to fight the disease, instead, they are helping to spread the disease. 

There is a reason people often say that politics is a dirty game, however, if Americans will not put this dirty game aside to help the president, by the time the disease subsides, it may kill millions of Americans, including children, Caucasians, and blacks.

DID AFRICA SEE THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC COMING?

The map of global infection of the coronavirus

After the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic in China, Europe and the USA, the initial thoughts about Africa by the advanced countries is that the African continent will be hit very hard with a high number of cases, because Africa, is a traditional place for the rapid spread of any viruses, fragile healthcare, and difficult fight against diseases.

Africa is popular not because of its treasures of gold, diamond, cobalt, silver, etc, but a continent with diseases and poverty. But the truth which the foreign media never mention is, apart from malaria that is prevalent on the continent, some diseases, including Aids, Ebola, nodding disease, etc, aren't natural, they were man-made.

Surprisingly, it appears that the coronavirus pandemic in Europe and the USA have become the front page news today, without much attention on Africa because the continent often referred to as the white man’s grave, due to the malaria that killed the white explorers, has the least infection of the coronavirus.

It is obvious that past experiences of the continent in dealing with diseases, prepared them fully to maintain strict medical rules to fight the pandemic than Europe and America. In my opinion, Africa needs applause for doing better towards the fight of the coronavirus than Europe and America.

At the moment, Africa seems to have a relatively low number of coronavirus. In fact, the high number of coronavirus infections around the globe, especially in Europe and America, despite having the best medical facilities, reveals that Africa has suffered certain diseases not because the continent is poor.

Africa is actually emerging from protracted crises, including strange diseases reinforced on them by certain governments, just to destabilize the continent’s economy, to slow down its growth as a measure to prevent the continent from being independent, and  also as a means to take control over the continent’s resources which superpower countries depend on for their survival.

Paradoxically, Africa did not turn out to be the most affected region of the coronavirus in the world, rather the USA, Spain, Italy, and other countries and regions classified by the United Nations as developed countries are those hard hit.

At the end of March to the beginning of April, COVID-19 was recorded in 25 countries in Africa, including landlocked states, such as the Central African Republic and small states Seychelles and Equatorial Guinea.

Since the outbreak, more than 27,385 cases of infections have been confirmed, with over 1,297 deaths recorded in 45 countries, hitting hard in South Africa, some countries in West Africa, and Algeria.

As a matter of fact, those superpowers or advanced countries that underestimate Africa during the coronavirus pandemic because of the fragile health care system must rather learn for Africa, how they are coping and preventing the high spread of the disease.

According to Worldometer, an  organization that collects global statistics and data pertaining to the coronavirus, so far, world infection stands at 2,834,136 and 197,373 deaths registered.

STOP SELF-MEDICATION AT HOME FOR THE CORONAVIRUS

The chloroquine phosphate is a product used for aquariums 

Over the past few weeks, everyone has been looking for a cure for Coronavirus, and every day, a report comes out over progress in finding a solution to the plague. A few days ago, US President Donald Trump himself said the FDA moved mountains and approved malaria drugs for use against the corona.

However, at a formal press conference, the US Food and Drug Administration sidestepped it, announcing that the malaria drug combination was still undergoing testing and that a clinical trial was needed. Trump declared that he had the potential to stop the virus.

Even though the no drug or vaccine has been approved, that does not prevent people to stop self-medication; therefore, the desire to find a cure at all costs has increased in human life. 

Arizona man died and his wife was hospitalized after both took chloroquine phosphate, an additive used to clear aquariums also found in the anti-malarial drug, which Trump referred to as COVID-19 therapy.

According to Banner Medical Center's announcement, the couple, in their 60s, swallowed the chemical and when their health deteriorated with breathing difficulties, the man came to the hospital where he died but the woman managed to vomit most of the material and was hospitalized. 

Following this tragedy, health officials are warning the  public not to take self-medication, even as the fear of the Corona epidemic rises.

Given the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, we understand that people are trying to find new ways to prevent or treat this virus, but self-medication is not the way to do it," said Dr. Daniel Brooks, medical director at Banner Hospital, where the couple was hospitalized. 

"The last thing we want right now is to burden our emergency departments with patients who believe they have found a vague and dangerous solution that could endanger their health."

As we recently announced, doctors and researchers are trying different combinations of existing drugs to treat the coronavirus. 

One of these drugs is indeed chloroquine, sold in the country under the name Avloclor, and used for the treatment and prevention of malaria, but also for the treatment of arthritis and lupus (lupus). 

The mechanism by which treatment may be unclear but it may be related to the drug's ability to act on certain receptors in cells that are associated with viral infections and affect the degree of cellular acidity, a mechanism that affects the course of the virus within the cell that is infected. However, as mentioned, it is still being tested.

In the list of preparations tried over the last few months Nitzan also found the drug oseltamivir, also known as Tamiflu, which is the flu drug. At present, it is unclear whether the treatment has any effect against the coronavirus, but in some cases it is still possible that the lung disease generator is influenza, therefore, it is reasonable to use this device.

Another drug that is currently being tested is Remdesivir, a drug originally used to treat Ebola, and is currently being tested for corona. Initial results in laboratory tests demonstrate the therapeutic potential for this drug even against the COVID-19 virus.

The coronavirus currently has affected 2,190,010 people worldwide and has killed 147,010.

THE DANGEROUS WORLD OF THE INVINCIBLE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

China in the storm of coronavirus

It took the world by surprise, the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the world's corona disease is probably the most influential and dangerous cause of attacking humanity in the last 100 years. 

The current virus is threatening to harm hundreds of millions of people in the near future, dropping tens of millions of space and collapsing health and economic systems worldwide.

Some of the questions people are desperate to know are: How was it created? Is it possible that this is a virus engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, located in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the outbreak began? 

Examining reliable sources and tracing the chain of events create a puzzle of facts that give rise to real questions about the source of the virus.  

The virus first appeared in November 2019 as an outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan city of Hubei province with nine cases. 

About a month later, when the number of patients was already 180, Dr. Zheng Jishian reported that it was a new type of coronavirus and the number of abnormal patients raised concerns about the return of the SARS virus, which spread in China in 2002.

Dr. Zheng Jishian's report to the Chinese authorities, along with a parallel report by another physician named Dr. Li Wanliang, who after two months died of the corona disease himself.

He was initially silenced by the Chinese government and both doctors were investigated by police and accused of spreading rumors on the Internet, considering it serious harm to the public order.

On January 23, when the number of infections in China reached 830, the Chinese government imposed a full-scale military curfew that has never been seen in any of Hubei Province for its 60 million inhabitants!

At the same time, China for the benefit of scientists around the world has released its findings on the virus, including decoding its complete genome, which usually takes months and years of research.

Following China's announcement of the new virus, European countries have taken unprecedented defensive procedures, which included the immediate conversion of military camps to temporary hospitals, closing borders and imposing severe traffic restrictions on residents. 

At first, the reaction of China and the various countries worldwide seemed hysterical and disproportionate, but apparently by then they knew something we still do not know about the source of the virus and the danger it embodies

As of now, April 16, 2020, the Coronavirus or COVID 19, has already spread to most parts of the world. Currently, the virus has infected 2,088,636 and killed 134,754 people.

Coronavirus has taken over the world but the impact varies and no one can predict when the disease will subside. The disease has dealt a heavy blow on Spain, Italy, France and the United States of America.

This is the first time in history that over 2.6 billion people are required to stay in homes in a state of closure - lockdown. Will this be the end in a world that invincible epidemic can strike any time.

HOW LONG DOES A NEW CORONAVIRUS LIVE?

The coronavirus

The coronavirus pandemic has spread across to almost every country in the world, and apart from the mass infection of over 1,900,000 people, the virus has killed over 119,000 people.

Everyone wants to know when it will end, but this is not like the weather forecast to predict, and another question people often ask is, "How long does a new type of coronavirus live?"

Many people care about how often clothes should be washed to protect against a new type of coronavirus.

According to Russian experts, a new type of coronavirus is practically not transmitted through woolen tissue, since the life span of a new type of coronavirus on wool is very short, from a few minutes to several hours. 

Wool easily absorbs moisture from the body of the virus and destroys its structure; therefore, Coronavirus prefers a smooth and hard surface, including a keyboard, elevator buttons, lamp switches, door handles, etc.

It is, therefore, necessary and important for the above-mentioned to be thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant.

Coronavirus dies from the light of ultraviolet lamps and medical alcohol. In addition, chlorine-based disinfectants are also effective in fighting the virus.

The new virus spreads quickly in dry conditions, but its viability weakens and gradually dies. In humid conditions, it lives longer, but the propagation speed is relatively low.

 According to the latest research, this type of virus can exist outside the human body under optimal conditions for a maximum of five days.

To protect against viruses, it is imperative to wear a protective mask, refrain from shaking hands with other people, and wash your hands often. Cover your mouth with a hand or handkerchief while coughing.
