In our haste to examine the pandemic that sweeps the globe, we have forgotten that we live in the last chapter of history. So, maybe we should think a little more deeply about why this is happening at this moment in time.
Why has this virus arisen at such a vulnerable time?
Why are people and politicians reacting with such insanity?
Why have we forgotten that evil NEVER goes unpunished?
I sense the Hand of God in all of this, but I understand if you don’t agree. However, it is undeniable that there is something unique going on.

A Perfect Storm – Final Warning or Final Judgment
A Perfect Storm – Final Warning or Final Judgment
YouTube shortlink: https://youtu.be/QISA8S27nss
MP3 Audio:
————————————
We’ve all heard of a ‘perfect storm’. They’ve happened throughout history, where a series of catastrophic events happen at just the right time to change the course of humanity. The Plague of Justinian weakened two great empires, just before the rise of Islam. The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand happened just as the imperial ambitions of France, Britain, Germany and Russia were balanced on a knife edge. And, the return of the children of Jacob to the Land of Israel, happened just as the Ottoman Empire was falling.
All of that was God’s intervention, to bring us to this moment in time. And, I believe that this might be another divine intervention. The Hand of God is involved in this conflagration, but I don’t know whether this is merely a warning or the beginning of judgment – or both. And, it has everything to do with our fragility.
The Perfect Storm
Take a moment to think about where we stand. Our economy is more global than at any other time, while also being the most complex and fragile in history. Our economy’s lifeblood – the financial system – is equally global, while teetering on the edge of complete breakdown. The center of all of that is the United States which has never been more more militarily powerful, while also being stretched so thin. All of this power and wealth encompasses a world population that has never been so large, while also being so vulnerable to disruption. And, every bit of that is powered by a completely unprecedented level of energy production that is threatened with collapse.
And then, to ensure that this is the most complete catastrophe since the Flood…
…we have never been more morally bankrupt, than we are, right now.
We truly stand at the doorstep of great apocalypse. Not the Apocalypse of John (aka, The Book of Revelation), but an apocalypse – or revelation – that will reveal the weak and corrupt foundations of our civilization. The very act of this revelation of weakness will unleash a firestorm of financial destruction, followed by economic upheaval and then… cataclysmic war.
That is the Abyss that our civilization stares into, right now.
We are literally teetering on the edge of the chasm that all great civilizations have fallen into. And, many of us wonder if the Wuhan Coronavirus (COVID-19) is spreading hysteria at just the right time to make this collapse happen.
The timing of this virus outbreak is so perfect, I can only sit in wonder at it.
Is this another Archduke Ferdinand moment that launched World War I and started the destruction of the European empires, to make way for the American Empire?
Is this another Plague of Justinian that marked the beginning of the end of the Byzantine and Persian Empires, to make way for Islam?
God’s Judgment
I would say yes, except for the possibility that this might just be a final warning before God’s judgment falls upon us. We won’t know until we see evidence of recovery.
And yes, I really mean it when I say God’s judgment.
We have become so evil and so corrupt, that God would need to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah for destroying them, when we have proven ourselves to be worse than they. At least, with Sodom and Gomorrah, their corruption was limited to their own little valley. Not so, America. America has spread her corruption around the world, even to such far-flung corners, like Taiwan.
And yes, I truly believe that we have hit the limits on how much evil God will tolerate. It really is only a matter of time before the Lord proclaims ‘Game Over’. And, I find it very strange that so few Christians understand this.
Carnal Christians
Christians have forgotten that God does not change.
Is this why our churches have become carnal and disobedient?
The list of reasons is long, but it should be utterly clear that our churches have become dens of iniquity. We tolerate and encourage a level of sin that is beyond my ability to comprehend.
Just a glimpse at the facts should be more than enough. The divorce rate among Christians is only a little lower than non-Christians. Women who claim to be Christian are murdering their unborn children only a little less than those who do not claim to follow Christ. Christians are engaging in adultery and fornication at levels that we have never seen in 2000 years.
Worse, we send out missionaries into the world to teach and preach our disobedience and sinfulness. I have met far too many of them, and I am appalled. Just take a look at my own situation, where I live in Taiwan, in the city of Tainan. Of the several English-speaking missionaries that are leading churches in this city, every one of them is in direct disobedience to God. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. I have to travel two hours to find a church service that actually tries to follow what the Bible says.
Our corrupt churches and corrupt missionaries are a blasphemy against God. And, there is a limit to how much of this damage to His holy name that God will tolerate.
Why do we call ourselves Christian, if we refuse to submit to what God says?
Judgment Begins At The House Of God
The following verse reverberates throughout the Bible:
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Do you understand this?
Judgment begins in the House of God.
It starts with us. We are the ones that God will come to first, and those among us who have sinned greatly, will suffer greatly. And, we will deserve every bit of that judgment. And, that judgment will not end there.
The Wicked Flee When None Pursue
After it comes to us, judgment will come for the rest of the world, for the evil that THEY have done. And, we see the seeds of this judgment in the world’s response to the Wuhan Coronavirus.
Why are we in such a panic?
I’m not saying that we should not take reasonable precautions to avoid contracting such a nasty virus. I do this every year during flu season. I don’t touch my face when I’m out and about, and I wash my hands when I come home.
But, shutting down an entire economy?
Are they insane?
Well…. yes.
Proverbs 28:1 says this:
The wicked flee when no man pursueth:
but the righteous are bold as a lion.
The wicked are fleeing. They are in absolute panic. And, their panic will do far, far more damage than this virus would ever do.
But, what does Proverbs say about the Righteous?
They will be as bold as a lion.
If you need an example of righteous boldness, go here:
The Wuhan Coronavirus – A Wuhan Pastor Responds
https://omegashock.com/2020/02/05/the-wuhan-coronavirus-a-wuhan-pastor-responds/
THAT, is boldness. In the midst of a city that was terrified, a Christian pastor was not. And, his example should be our example.
Are you an example of the Peace of God?
Or, are you an example of how the wicked flee?
Unfortunately, far too many of our churches are full of the wicked, and it’s depressing to see. I can hardly believe how awful we have become. But, these are the Last Days, so I should not be so surprised.
The Road Ahead
What concerns me now is the road ahead. This moment will either mark the beginning of a global depression, or it will be just another warning. Global, civilization-destroying depression is coming. The only question is timing, and I am notoriously bad at timing.
The one person who is good at timing is Martin Armstrong. And, he is in the process of creating a report on what he sees happening, financially, in the months and years ahead. That report will be titled:
Coronavirus & Next Great Depression
The Insanity of Caution.
When it comes out, you’ll find that special report, here:
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/product-category/reports/
It will be offered for ten bucks, and it will be worth every penny. I am bad at timing. Martin Armstrong is not. So, please pay attention to what he says.
The Fall Of Civilization
The only thing that Martin Armstrong leaves out of his calculations is the collapse of energy production. And, I believe that the coming ‘Greatest Depression’ will finally reveal how dire our situation is. When that happens, civilization as we know it, will fall.
All empires eventually fall, and America will be no different. Unfortunately, the fall of America will bring years – even decades – of chaos. The only question is how fast America will fall, and when it will happen.
We have sinned against God.
Judgment is coming.
I truly hope that you’ll be ready for this
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. – Proverbs 22:3

Hi John!
Thank you for another article. Been waiting for it in the midst of all the other panicked reporting.
Would appreciate prayer: am not considered sick enough to warrant a test, but have come down with serious fatigue, mild dry cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, body aches and am consistently under temp. Am going to be staying home for at least two weeks. The doctor said to not go back to work until my symptoms have been gone from 72 hours up to a week. Since we have a lot of people come in who are 60 and above, I am probably going to go with the week.
What I have found interesting is the lack of info on what are the symptoms just as one is beginning to come down with it. I know this varies from person to person (some people run no fever, but still have tested positive and have the other symptoms). What I have found from personalized accounts that go into more detail, is it can start with a bad headache, sore throat and fatigue. Then it goes into the cough, fever and shortness of breath. The fatigue isn’t being advertised, but it’s pretty bad. And the bad body and head aches are quite painful as well. Think of the usual hit with a Mack truck analogy, and add on top of that.
Praise God for holding us in His hands. I feel peace, even though I am sick. Our LORD is already showing us His Providence and care. I needed His reassurance, as I hate calling in and my boss and manager know that.
Thank you so much for writing and keep up the good work for as long as our LORD has you do it. Please say “Hi!” to Mrs. Little for me.
The LORD bless you and keep you,
~Jennifer
Hi Jennifer,
It sounds like you have it. Ouch.
Mrs. Little says ‘Hi’ back. She also wants me to tell you that you should NOT take Ibuprophen. Apparently, we have reports that Ibuprophen (aka Advil) can make it worse. Also, you should sleep as much as you can. The pulmonoologist in the MedCram videos says that this the most important thing that you can do. Mrs. Little also says to drink lots of water. I second that one. One of the guys that came off of the ‘Diamond Princess’ with full symptoms talked about being treated with lots of something like ‘Gatorade’. I guess that means vitamins, minerals, sugar and water.
I’m so sorry that you’ve caught this. We will be praying for you.
The Lord is good, so I know that you will be fine. But, it sometimes takes a little longer for the heart to understand this.
God bless you, Jennifer! Keep us posted on how you are doing.
Yours in Christ,
John Little
omegashock.com
Thank you and will do roger!
Hi John,
Update: still feeling about the same with a couple of rough patches over the last few days. Thankfully temp is almost back up to normal (still low).
Praise for not getting worse and for the healing work He is doing in me. Praise also for giving me a great boss and manager: my boss called to check on me today. Please pray they and none of my coworkers get it. Also that our shop would survive this economic hiccup.
Thank you and Mrs. Little for your prayers and for anyone else praying. Please, LORD, help us to see You and lean into You through all of this.
~Jennifer
Praise God. Thank you for keeping us updated. It’s good to hear about someone pulling through something like this. With all the hysteria, we need to hear personal stories like yours. May God preserve you, your job and your coworkers. I’m glad that you are working with such good people, Jennifer! – JL
Hi there!
Update: doing a lot better and starting to chomp at the bit from being inside so long 😄. Thank you for praying!
The LORD bless you, Mrs. Little and anyone reading this with His supernatural immunity. We pray this in Jesus’ Name.
~Jennifer
YES! This is awesome news. Even though we know and trust that God would see you through this, we still are glad to hear of a sister getting better. Thank you so much for keeping us updated, Jennifer! – JL
Aren’t you the same person that minimized this crisis and said it was no worse than the flu? You are the expert right? What is it? Flu? Or, pandemic killer virus? And yes, the pandemic was the pin that popped the everything bubble. And, yes, we are going into an extended depression. This is historical. This is at the least, a once in a lifetime event. I remember when I got called up to go to Iraq to fight in that idiotic war over there. That event was very stressful and hard. But, its nothing compared to what is going on now. But, you said it was no worse than the common flu? You- the expert. We wait to find out. But, this problem that you minimized is going to affect us in some way for many years. I expect this time will be very difficult for us all.
Hi Glen,
Did I minimize this?
Nope.
That’s a false accusation.
The problem is that you don’t read what I write. You seem to just read the title and pop off with a comment. So, let me ask you for a favor. the next time that you write a comment, please read what I actually write. I have to wonder why you even bother to leave comments like this, Glen.
I never said that this was ‘as bad as the flu’. I said that we didn’t know how bad it was. I also said that it probably wasn’t as bad as what the hysterical media was claiming.
And you know what?
I’m right.
If you actually paid attention to what I’m saying, you would know that my point is about our hysterical reaction to this virus. So, please get this into your head:
OUR HYSTERICAL REACTION WILL LEAD TO MORE DEATH THAN THIS VIRUS.
Did you get that?
What else do I need to do to get the point across?
Are you listening, Glen?
Yours in Christ,
John Little

At 69 I’ve done a pretty fair job of learning to keep my mouth shut but not absolutely. Seldom wise to come to someone else’s defense. Don’t really care.
However, quoting “The Wuhan Virus – Frenzy, Fraud and Foolishness”, – “this virus is less lethal than the common flu. That was true two days ago, and it is still true today”. –Maybe I misunderstood also but that is what it seems to say to me. I still don’t know the facts but am definitely seeing the effects.
Thanks Bro John. Appreciate your work.

Hi Duane GRIFFITH,
I’m always prepared to clarify what I have said, when asked and even admit to error. I’ve done it in the past and will continue doing it in the future.
So, no problem.
Unfortunately, you missed some key words. Here’s the whole thing, in context:
————————-
At the moment, this virus is less lethal than the common flu. That was true two days ago, and it is still true today. And, when people claim that there are 100,000 cases in China… it proves my point. The number of people who have died of the Wuhan Virus (2019-nCoV) number in the… wait for it …dozens. If there are only dozens dead, and a hundred thousand infections, this tells you that the flu is more dangerous.
https://omegashock.com/2020/01/27/the-wuhan-virus-frenzy-fraud-and-foolishness/
————————-
Hopefully, you understand the words ‘At the moment‘.
That was January 27th. And, the main point of the article was about hysteria. This is still the main point. And, we are currently destroying ourselves, because we refuse to be rational.
I can’t help those who are unable to see that point.
So far, this virus has killed fewer people than the flu kills every year. My hope is that this continues – which would also mean that my original statement stands:
At the moment, this virus is less lethal than the common flu.
Thank you for giving me the chance to clarify this, Duane.
Yours in Christ,
John Little

Hi John, just a quick question, what is the disobedience of the English speaking Missionaries you refer to in Tainan?
The most obvious problem is female preachers. Every single one of them, and I am amazed at this – since Paul is very clear that it is forbidden. Once I see that, I’m out. Either the whole Bible is true, or it’s all a lie. Cutting out the parts that we don’t like is horrifying. I hope that clarifies my point, Steve. – JL
Turkeys. Never mind going full retard, they have gone full turkey. Wild turkeys still have brains and survival instincts but all this has been bred out of farmed poultry. If farmed turkeys are startled by anything, a weird noise or whatever, they will rush to the opposite side of the enclosure in such a hysterical panic that they will pile up on top of each other and smother to death the ones on the bottom. Since they are bred to have so much breast tissue that they can’t even fly.
Those of us who actually THINK, instead of knee-jerk react with no cerebral involvement at all, are a minority. It’s weird. I have a very intelligent, educated long-time friend who is totally swallowing the democratic and CDC propaganda and it is so bizarre I have to think there is a spirit of deception involved there. She is far from Christian. It is just this unreasoning mobthink. If I hadn’t seen the stuff about people not buying Corona beer I wouldn’t have believed it, the idiocy is just too preposterous. But the takeaway for us is, pay attention. We can’t change this herdthink phenomenon or alter the direction they’re going, but we need to KNOW what direction they’re going so we can GET OUT OF THE WAY.
Looking forward to that next report from Martin.
Hi DRG,
Well said. Assess the risk. React rationally. Avoid the herd. Above all, trust God.
I just saw a video about how Nanjing handled this. Taiwan is not quite at their level yet, but we’ve just had a jump in cases and Taiwanese students that are studying abroad are starting to come home, bringing the virus with them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfsdJGj3-jM
Martin Armstrong featured this video on his blog, and it fits with what I believe to be the best way to handle this. Unfortunately, instead of being rational, western governments will just close down their economies and destroy everything.
(sigh)
The wicked flee when none pursue.
Great comment, DRG.
Yours in Christ,

Of course this is the Revelation Tribulation. Time to be eith God very closely. Cleave unto him eith all your mind all your heart and all your soul, and he will keep you safe.
No. They are not over reacting.
They have undereacted all the way through and been way behind this scourge for msny people.
The hospitals are all over run.doctors and nurses sick and dying. They had no choice to slow the spread but isaolate people. It is horribly contagious, even for the majority that experience very few symptoms. They spread it the most. When the medical collapses, a society collapses. Temporarily. It is very integral to iur society. Millions need hospitals daily, but not ifbthey are sll full. Many that could have been saved were made to die, because they ran out of beds and ventilators.. Thank you for you wonderful essay. I do agree with you about it being the hand of God ultimately. Everyone needs to turn to God. As soon as possible. This world is spiraling deeper every day down the abyss of seperation from God, and sin.
This is a wake up call that now is the time . There is no other safe place besides Jesus.
I’m sorry Johnathan, but this is not the Great Tribulation. Not even close. It was worse during the 1918 Spanish Flu. Was THAT the Great Tribulation, too? Please think carefully about this and reread Revelation. – JL
Kind sir. You were convinced Trump is the antichrist. So am I. Pretty sutenthe anti christ is very much part if revelation and tribulation. This is only the beginning of sorrows.
Nope. I NEVER said or hinted that Trump is the Antichrist. The Bible is clear about where the Antichrist comes from, and America is NOT that place. – JL
Hi, John !
Why is there not a national Day of Prayers and fasting proclaimed in the USA & canada.
What is wrong with all the Evang. Churches , should we not cry to God to repent for our
Iniquities. Maybe Trump & Trudeau should call for it, God first . But our Countries have
no more Christian Principles. Satan is KIng….
Thanks for All your Efforts.
George,
Hi George,
I agree. In fact, it wouldn’t require all Americans. Just the ones who call themselves Christian:
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If you call yourself according to the name of God – ie, Christian – repent!
But, they won’t.
God help us all.
Thanks, George.
Yours in Christ,

Dear John Little:
I am responding to your updated article on the Coronavirus (Covid-19) Crisis. Your article is good and true. I wish to only say that the last time you criticized me for using the name/term of Covid-19, when I should have said SARS nCoV 2 according to you. Even as a trained Microbiologist from 30 years ago, I followed the WHO convention for naming the virus. So Covid-19 is easiest to relay to the average person and is not racist, etc.. President Trump got criticized for saying Wuhan Flu, Kung Flu, Chinese Virus and the worst is The EPOCH Times that calls it the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) Virus/Flu. Obvious bias as I know. Then as for the Ibuprofen (Advil type) OTC’s (Over The Counter) meds, it is correct NOT to take them as experiences /studies from France indicate. So use acetaminophen-based meds like Tylenol or Aspirin/ASA type meds instead. However, do NOT give Aspirin/ASA meds to children, even 18 years old and younger.
Next, I wish the western world countries affected would use the JAMA-CDC guidelines that Taiwan used to contain and try to get ahead of the crisis. So congrats to Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore. Yes, even China, now that it has been confirmed that China has NO New cases of Covid-19. What happens next in Italy, Spain, France, the USA and Canada? At least the southeast Asian countries mentioned are used to quarantine and lockdown, western countries I am not so sure. Can Americans handle quarantine and lockdown. American States and Democrat-led cities are using a euphemism of “Stay or whatever in Place”. I wonder what America will call Medical Martial Law when Trump implements Obama’s EO 13603.
Lastly, I agree with you on the decline of western Christian Churches, for different reasons, but also draw the line on female pastors/preachers. Women have support roles in ministry not primary roles like preaching! Despite our differences over issues like Charles Nelson Darby and Cyrus I. Scofileld, thank you for this article. It is true and more balanced and realistic than the last one on March 5, 2020.
As for the over-reaction that is seen, there are various explanations. One is that the governments and their Central Banksters are using the Covid-19 Crisis as a cover for the coming Economic and Financial Collapse. The other is epidemiological. If this Coronavirus behaves like a normal winter cold/Flu season, the resulting curve of its spread would look like a normal Bell curve distribution. By implementing the measures of social distancing, hand-washing and self-isolation/quarantine to even business closures, you decrease the height of the curve and increase the time you have to respond to the outbreak. This is called “Flattening the Curve”. This is like taking a Subway sub or McDonald’s Big Mac and just pressing down on it so it is more like a pizza. This approach of flattening the curve gives medical personnel more time to fight the virus. This is what Taiwan did. Right John!
As for virus spread, if this virus continues to spread and increase in warmer spring and summer months, the world is in trouble!
Lastly, the Coronavirus crisis is being used to, as already tasted, cover for the coming Economic and Financial collapse, the conditions for which have been here since the 2000 Tech Bubble. Next, the virus will increase government centralization, both nationally and globally. Next, is a more severe Police state, nationally and globally. Next is mandatory vaccination since this virus has not given humanity Herd Immunity. Next is also de-population of humanity as well as micro-chipping. You can thank Bill Gates for both of those with his vaccination push plus his ID2020 project. Next is the Central Banksters push to remove cash and coinage (spread virus) to get a global digital cryptocurrency. Thus ID2020 and a global Central Bankster digital cryptocurrency imply the Mark of the Beast analogy where you can NOT Buy or Sell without it.
So, thank you John for this better article!
Hi Stormin’ Norman,
Good comment. I’m glad that we have so much that we can agree on.
Those of us who are familiar with how evil the Chinese Communist Party is, will insist on using Wuhan to identify this virus. The CCP suppressed reports about this virus in December, when it could have been dealt with easily. And, they KNEW from past experience what would happen. But, they went ahead with the suppression, anyway.
So, Wuhan Coronavirus, Wuhan Virus and Chinese Virus are all good names to use. AND, this follows all the historical naming conventions, up to 2003.
Financial collapse is coming, and the Satanic elites will fight with each other over who gets the biggest share of the power that comes to them.
Thank you for that comment, Stormin’ Norman.
Yours in Christ,
John Little

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/coronavirus-disease-2019-vs-the-flu
Here is a good explanation from Johns Hopkins of the similarities and differences between covid-19 and the flu. Keep in mind that coronavirus is the family of COMMON COLD VIRUSES. It is NOT flu. Flu is caused by the family of INFLUENZA VIRUSES.
I have recently read, but not fact-checked, reports that covid is starting to affect younger people in terms of serious complications. My first thought was, does the patient profile include vaping? It’s incredibly popular and horribly dangerous, in some ways worse than actual smoking. There was a recent spate of deaths from a bizarre respiratory syndrome, in otherwise young and healthy people, which was traced via epidemiological study to a certain brand of vape which had added vitamin E as a marketing tactic, because after all it’s natural, it’s a vitamin, it’s GOOD for you. They neglected to consider that unrefined petroleum is also completely natural, but that doesn’t mean your lungs were designed to function properly when coated with a thin layer of oily substance, which vitamin E is. Poison ivy is natural, but if you try to destroy it via burning and the smoke is inhaled, it can kill you. Or an animal. All that blistering agent from oils in the leaves will carry in the smoke and do the same thing to the inside of your lungs. There are so many untested and unnatural (not that that always makes a difference) chemicals, scents, colors, flavors in vaping products there is no way to know the long-term damage it causes. It would be impossible to test them thoroughly, because they act differently in combination than together.
The point being, don’t jump to conclusions.
Good point, DRG! – JL
