USA: No place to go, but gas prices are low 
3-31-20, DENISON, Texas (KTEN) -- Now that the coronavirus crisis has cut travel to a minimum, Texomans are seeing the price of gasoline dropping to levels not seen in four years. The AAA, which monitors pump prices, said the national gas price average fell under $2. A gallon of regular fuel is even lower in Texas, averaging $1.73; in Oklahoma, the average price has dipped to $1.56. Across Texoma, drivers in Sherman-Denison are seeing an average price of just $1.38. Investors expect weak demand to continuing pushing gasoline prices lower. Contracts in New York for gasoline futures plunged to well under $1 a gallon on ... More here

Mark 14:66- 72; Matthew 26:69–74, Luke 22:55–62, John 18:15–18, 25–27
​
4-3-20, Surely human weakness and fear caused the Apostle Peter to deny associating with the Lord Jesus Christ; even knowing Him! [Mark 14:66-72] He watched Jesus being falsely accused, beaten, spit upon and insulted (Mark 14:57–66). To Peter’s credit, he didn’t flee the scene as the others did and he repented as he wept (Mark 14:50, 72).

 Earlier, Jesus warned His disciples as well as us today, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first.” (John 15:18; Matthew 24:9) Peter quickly found he wasn’t nearly as bold and courageous as he had proclaimed. [Mark 14:30-31]

Jesus revealed to Peter that Satan had asked for permission to sift Peter like wheat (Luke 22:31). Jesus could have easily protected Peter not allowing Satan to sift him, but Jesus had a higher goal. He was equipping Peter to strengthen all disciples (Luke 22:32). 

Perhaps because of Peter’s shame of denying the Lord bolstered and encouraged him to do so much better. He then strengthened other disciples, becoming a pillar of the early church in Jerusalem, exhorting and training others to follow and obey the Lord Jesus (Acts 2:1). And an example for all. Acts 2:7-38

Peter’s life gives us all hope for our temporary lapses; that even when our will is contrary to that of God, when we repent - as Peter did - God forgives us. Today, when the Lord Jesus is blasphemed and His name is used in cursing - we can have confidence to speak up:

​"Please don't use the name of the Lord Jesus as a curse." (Romans 5:8-10; 1 John 1:9)

​4-3-20, Judi McLeod, Canada Free Press -- Will New York City be Ground Zero for catching up with all the lies the media keep telling in order to keep the COVID-19 pandemic panic alive and kicking? Where are all the coronavirus patients in the Big Apple? This question remains unanswered. People trying to get to the truth in regards to where the virus patients are, are being cut off from Facebook and Twitter.

‘Facebook removes Project Veritas video for violating policy against coronavirus information’, (Washington Times, April 1, 2020). ​“Recorded inside an automobile with Mr. O’Keefe behind the wheel, the 9½-minute video chronicles him visiting a drive-thru facility in New York state where people can be tested from their cars for COVID-19, the potentially deadly respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus. “Mr. O’Keefe is seen throughout the clip goading military and medical personnel with questions about the severity of the coronavirus pandemic and how it has been covered by the media.” Bad Boy, Jimmy, for going on the hunt for the truth. (Project Veritas)

• On Laura Ingraham last week, guest Dr. William Grace had this to say: “There is no hospital in NYC that is at capacity with patients. There are no patients in the Central Park hospital. And, on that huge hospital ship that can house 1,000 patients, there are presently 3 patients total.”
• “Twitter, stepping up its enforcement of misleading and harmful coronavirus-related claims, required Fox News host Laura Ingraham to delete a tweet from 10 days ago that misrepresented details of an unproven treatment for coronavirus.” (Variety, March 30, 2020)
• “In the now-deleted tweet from March 20, Ingraham, host of the cable network’s “The Ingraham Angle,” wrote, “Lenox Hill [Hospital] in New York among many hospitals already using Hydroxychloroquine with very promising results." The tweet was based on Ingraham’s interview on the Fox News show with Dr. William Grace, whom Ingraham incorrectly identified as being an oncologist at New York’s Lenox Hill Hospital. A correction Fox News later appended to an article about the segment said Ingraham had wrongly described Dr. Grace as affiliated with the hospital and that “his opinions given below are his own.” Bad girl, Ingraham, for trying to get the truth out there about the hype the media spreads on the virus. 

Numbers about COVID-19 victims are starting to add up to suspicion.

• “It’s a joke,” said a top hospital executive, whose facilities are packed with coronavirus patients. (New York Times, April 2, 2020) “Such were the expectations for the Navy hospital ship U.S.N.S. Comfort that when it chugged into New York Harbor this week, throngs of people, momentarily forgetting the strictures of social distancing, crammed together along Manhattan’s west side to catch a glimpse.”
• “On Thursday, though, the huge white vessel, which officials had promised would bring succor to a city on the brink, sat mostly empty, infuriating executives at local hospitals. The ship’s 1,000 beds are largely unused, its 1,200-member crew mostly idle.” [..snip] What about the multiple thousands of Influenza victims? Mr. Cuomo said in a statement: “Late Thursday, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo of New York reached an agreement with Pres Trump to bring Covid patients to the Javits Convention Center in Manhattan, another alternative site operated by the military, with 2,500 hospital beds.I asked President Trump this morning to consider the request and the urgency of the matter, and the President has just informed me that he granted New York’s request.” There was no word about doing the same with the U.S.N.S. Comfort.“Capt. Patrick Amersbach, the commanding officer of the medical personnel aboard the Comfort, said at a news conference that, for now, his orders were to accept only patients who had tested negative for the virus. If ordered to accept coronavirus patients, he said, the ship could be reconfigured to make that happen. If our mission shifts, we do what we can to meet that mission.” 

4-3-20, Annette -- This article is loaded with good information about good health that causes our bodies to have healthy immune systems. I am on all recommended vitamins and minerals except zinc ... I just ordered it.

4-1-20, Dr. Mark Sircus* -- Quarantine is the wrong medical approach to diseases we have treatments for. We have never closed the world to stop an infection until now. Holier than thou medical institutions would destroy the world's economy rather than see that we do have treatments that work. Doctors are already using successful treatments that would cool the panic. The medical wisdom and protocols of the following fine doctors should be instituted. With the current China virus, even those with preconditions don’t have to die, not from this infection, though many thousands a day are dying from other causes. Medical authorities and media will not listen to:

• Dr. Andrew Weber, a pulmonologist and critical-care specialist affiliated with two Northwell Health facilities on Long Island, said his intensive-care patients with the coronavirus immediately receive intravenous vitamin C, three or four times a day. http://dailym.ai/3aFmuiR
• Dr. Vladimir Zelenko’s medical team in New York, which has used simple cocktail of three cheap, proven, widely available drugs to successfully treat at least 500 patients with the coronavirus. It’s an out-patient treatment combining the common anti-malarial drug hydroxy-chloroquine with the popular antibotic azithromycin (known as Z-Pak) and zinc sulfate.” He has been 100 percent at saving all his patients lives.
• McGill University presented the work of Dr. James Robb, a pathologist who carried out some of the early work on coronaviruses back in the 1970s, claims that zinc lozenges are the “silver bullet against the coronavirus.” Dr. Robb referred to research that had demonstrated an inhibition of the replication of many viruses, including coronaviruses, by exposure to zinc.Zinc inhibits coronavirus RNA polymerase enzyme activity, the very methodology by which coronavirus infection is confirmed in the laboratory.
• A study from the University of Turin, Vitamin D may play an important role in the treatment and prevention of Covid-19, the coronavirus. Professor Giancarlo Isaia, president of the Academy of Medicine, said that “preliminary data collected in the last days in Turin indicate that patients with covid-19 have a very high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency ”. Vitamin D has an active role in the regulation of the immune system. Researchers said, ‘Vitamin D3 presents a low-cost supplementation to improve HIV-associated immunity.’
• Dr. David Brownstein said, “At my office, we are not worried about COVID-19. We have been successfully treating coronavirus, influenza, rhinovirus and many other viral flu-like illnesses for 27 years. We have had success using natural therapies to enhance the body’s immune system as well as to kill viruses including flu-like viruses. Today, I ordered intravenous hydrogen peroxide, vitamin C, ozone, and glutathione for my sick patients.
• Dr. David Allen said, “Cannabidiol (CBD), [aka medical marijuana] may offer control of the immune system and in turn provide protection from viral infections. Cannabis has already been recognized to inhibit fungus and bacteria and can be considered a new class of antimicrobial because of the different mechanism of action from other antimicrobials.”

This is a basic medical listing of a protocol to treat the coronavirus as well as the common flu. Most of the above can be used in ICU departments as well as the home. If medical authorities were really interested in saving lives they would open their minds and hearts to the doctors listed above.

Exodus 12:2-14; Leviticus 23:4-34; John 13:1; 1 Corinthians 15:23
 
3-28-20, *-- The Lord’s Holy Day of PASSOVER is one of two MOST important Holy day of all the Lord’s annual holy days.  This study is to explain the parallels of the first PASSOVER in 1528 BC [1], the Lord Jesus dying, resurrecting and ascending in 30 AD and the end time events of 2020 AD. Prior to that first Passover, there was no Jewish nation. The Hebrews were slaves to cruel Egyptian taskmasters who cried out to the one true God for help. God’s ears are always open to the cries and prayers of “the righteous” [Psalm 34:15] He listened and set in place a new calendar year [Exodus 12:1-2] for the Jewish people with the first of His “holy days” being PASSOVER. Almighty God sent Moses to Pharaoh demanding the release the Hebrew slaves and he refused; the chronology of events of the rescue of the Hebrews with the future ‘rescue’ of sinners when the Lord Jesus was God’s lamb:

1. On the 10th of Abib, every Hebrew family was to select a lamb for a sacrifice to God to be without “spot or blemish;” a perfect specimen. [Exodus 12:3-5; Joshua 1:11, 4:19] It is the same day the Messiah Jesus Christ triumphantly rode on a donkey into Jerusalem. [Mark 11:9-11]
2.  The lambs were examined for three days to be certain it had no defects. [Exodus 12:6] For three days Jesus was examined in six trials resulting in Pilate declaring His innocence. [John 18:12-14; Matthew 26:57; Luke 22:63, 23:4] 
3. On the evening of Abib 14 each household was to kill their lamb as a sacrifice to God, and they were not to break the lamb’s bones [Exodus 12:6, 9]. When Jesus was crucified no bones were broken. [John 1:29, 19:36]
4. The 10th and final Egyptian plague was that every first born man & beast in Egypt would die, but not the Hebrews. They were told to spread the blood of the lamb to their door posts and death would ‘passover’ them. [Exodus 12:7, 13] The Lord Jesus as mankind’s ‘passover lamb’ Who shed HIS blood so all who repent trusting in Him will never die spending eternity with God. [John 11:26]
5. After Pharaoh’s first born son died [Exodus 12:30] he demanded the Hebrews leave Egypt [Exodus 12:31-33]; they were set FREE from their bondage and lived. On 14th of Abib, Israel’s Hebrews left Egypt; crossed the Red Sea rejoicing as they were a FREE people having a NATION.

PASSOVER was the time the Lord Jesus Christ became “the Lamb of God,” Who was the sacrifice for the sins of the entire world and He was the 'Firstfruit' of the Resurrection from the dead
​
The parallel between the killing of the Hebrew passover lamb to free the Jews from Egypt and the crucifixion of the Messiah Lord Jesus Christ the Savior to free all mankind from the slavery of sin is unmistakable and undeniable.
 
 The Lord Jesus arose from the dead and is the ‘Firstfruit’ of resurrections of the dead. In Leviticus 23:10-11 we see that a Jewish priest was to take a “sheaf” [not one, but many] “of the firstfruits of your harvest lift it into the air and wave it.”  Surely that ‘sheaf’ typifies the resurrection of all true believers who will resurrect in the likeness of Christ’s resurrection [1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Romans 6:5].  The inspired Word twice explicitly refers to the Lord as the “firstfruits” of the resurrection. [1 Corinthians 15:20-23] It would be grammatically and scripturally incorrect to label anything as “firstfruit” unless there are more “fruits” to be gathered. This is the third spring feast also know as 'Easter.'
 
The current world’s tribulations mirror the Lord Jesus’ prophecy of end time events. [Luke 21:11] Scoffers and scorners say, ‘Oh but there’s been wars and rumors of wars for centuries, plagues of locusts, earthquakes  and pestilences. All things go on as before!’ [2 Peter 3:4] Not like the current horrors of the world including the panic and hysteria of the pestilence of Corona virus; this is a new phenomenon. The increase of locust [2]; earthquakes [3] and pestilence [4] cannot be denied. The Lord Jesus said that all of these things would be “the beginning of sorrow.” [Mark 13:8] Not the end… “beginning”… and they are here – now.
 
This year’s anniversary of the Lord Jesus’ resurrection is Sunday, April 12, 2020.  Is it just one more “coincidence” that the days of the week for this Passover and Firstfruit [Easter Resurrection Sunday, 4-12-20] come in the ‘likeness’ [ exact same order] as they did the week Christ was crucified and arose in 30 A.D.? 

I believe this Passover season 2020 that begins at sundown on Wednesday, April 8 ending at nightfall on Thursday, April 16, 2020 may finally be the appointed time for the resurrection of believers who are ‘asleep’ and the rapture of those of us who are alive and remain [The Rapture of the Church]. [Acts 1:11]
 
Many faithful believers are now obediently and faithfully sounding the trumpet of warning [Ezekiel 33:6], please add me to the list.

 Matthew 24:21; Psalm 107:1; Joel 1:1-2 - Joel 2:16-17*
 
Original message in 2015, ** -- God's judgment will come to America; but because He loves all sinners He has warned us. Romans 5:8 I believe Jesus is soon to return to take all of His born again believers to Heaven in what is referred to as “The Rapture.” While this will be deliverance for His people, can you imagine the impact on America and the world when suddenly every single authentic Christian disappears?
 
Just as God allowed the Israelites, His people, to go through three of the ten plagues [Exodus 7:1] He sent in judgment on Pharaoh and Egypt in Exodus 32:35. God may allow His people today to go through a time of distress and trouble before The Rapture takes place. I believe we are in that time now. I believe it’s time to not just pray. It’s time to cry out to God on behalf of our nation and our world. [Exodus 7:16] Pray for:

•  the lukewarm liberal churches that must turn back in obedience to God’s word Acts 3:19
•  For a harvest of souls to be snatched out of the clutches of satan and turn to the Lord Jesus. John 4:35

The Lord loves us and has been patient as the USA has slowly descended into depravity beyond our imagination. Hopefully, His patience hasn’t expired. Joel 2:13-14 [On June 26, 2015 the Supreme Court of the United States made a landmark decision declaring that homosexual same sex marriage is legally accepted all across America and the new the law of the land. President Barack Obama lit up the White House in the colors of the gay community. Abomination on parade! Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13]
 
Many have said if the Lord God doesn’t punish America He owes an apology to Sodom & Gomorrah.
Even so, come Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20

Rush Limbaugh Warns We're Going To Destroy America:
'I Have an Overriding Sense of Foreboding'​

4-1-20, Due to the coronavirus pandemic, a substantial portion of the United States and economy has essentially been shut down. In many parts of the country, gatherings of 10 people or more are prohibited, all major events are canceled, countless businesses have been forced to closed and tens of millions of American citizens are being ordered to remain in their homes for an indeterminate length of time, often under threat of arrest and fines or prosecution. [Preachers jailed for holding church services.] While all of this is being done to mitigate the spread of the China Coronavirus aka COVID-19 and reduce the disease final death toll, it increasingly appears that this “cure” could prove more damaging and deadly than the illness itself, particularly in terms of the incalculable economic and psychological damage being wrought on the country. He said: “I have an overriding sense of foreboding here, folks. I’m really in a dilemma as to how much of what I really think do I share with you. Some of it I can’t. I’d be run out of this studio if I were to tell you some of what I think. And I’m talking about in terms of what needs to be done, not the circumstance that we’re in, but the solution, because the overriding sense of foreboding I have is that this cannot go on.” [..snip] “The number of recoveries has never been a singular item reported here, and then there is the undeniable fact that there are forces in the American culture who want you to continue to think the worst of this, and they want you to blame President Trump for it.” More here RushLimbaugh.com.

Study Finds Expected Suicides from Economic Crisis Caused by Business Lockdown over Virus 
4-1-20, Goldman Sachs reports that we looking at a man-made catastrophe!The coming crisis caused by USA businesses locked down over the Covid virus will result in economic horror. Based on current numbers; the loss of jobs and financial ruin may lead to over 800,000 suicides; four times more than the estimated Corona virus deaths.  More here

According to https://www.worldometers.info/, globally there will have been 250,000 suicides so far this year. There have been less than 20,000 deaths due to COVID-19. Many of those people are in poor health and would have died for other reasons without the virus. So if suicides increase by just 10% (25,000) due to lockdowns. unemployment and financial ruin; we'll have lost more people to suicide that COVID-19.

Brazilian Leader Jair Bolsonaro Refuses Suicidal Lock-Down of Economy to Fight Coronavirus

4-1-20, Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit -- ​Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro continues to urge residents to keep the economy going despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Bolsonaro: “We have two problems that cannot be dissociated: the virus and unemployment. The virus is here, we're going to have to confront it. Confront it like a man, not a boy! We're all going to die one day. Both problems should be treated responsibly; but if the remedy is too much the side effect will be much more disastrous.”  According to The Washington Post - under criticism he recently he called for small businesses to reopen to help the country's poor get back to work. continued to downplay the effects or longevity of the health crisis. "It will pass shortly. Our lives have to continue; jobs should be maintained." More from Newsweek here

​Sweden coronavirus strategy: Why is Sweden not in lockdown
3/30/20, Express.co.uk -- SWEDEN is one of few countries in Europe not under lockdown during the coronavirus panic. The country has recorded 110 deaths as a result of COVID-19. And has shocked medical experts by refusing to shut down the country like its European counterparts. 

​Swedish people disregarding Covid-19 lockdown 
3-25-20, DailyMail -- Reportedly the US coronavirus death toll [although lockdowns and quarantines] has more than 780 after a rise of 190 in just one day - the biggest jump to date - with 54,905 total cases and an infection rate worse than Italy. Sweden is taking a softer line, keeping primary schools, restaurants and bars open and even encouraging people to go outside for a nip of air. This stands in stark contrast to the urgent tone elsewhere and has sparked heated debate whether Sweden is really doing the right thing.Today, Sweden reported 2,299 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus with only 41 deaths. While Norway and Denmark - which each have around half the population of Sweden - reported 2,566 and 1,577 cases, respectively.
