2 Samuel 24:12-14
12 “Go and speak to David, ‘Thus the Lord says, “I am offering you three things; choose for yourself one of them, which I will do to you.”’” 13 So Gad came to David and told him, and said to him, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now consider and see what answer I shall return to Him who sent me.” 14 Then David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let us now fall into the hand of the Lord for His mercies are great, but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
I would suggest that we have a choice between falling into the hand of the Lord or falling into the hand of men. Given the choice between a coronovirus outbreak and destroying the economy and becoming even more dependent on the state, I think the rational course of action is to trust the Lord not men.
After this the state will emerge much closer to the totalitarian state of prophecy - overnight as it were. I know that the BBC will never say it but these changes are of Biblical proportions. Some shops are refusing to take dirty money and insisting on electronic money.
