Crisis Of Covid-19
Contributed by Dr. Fred W. Penney on May 4, 2020 (message contributor)
The 20th century...
What if you were born in 1900 - my grandparents for example were born in 1904 in Newfoundland.
At age 14 , World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday. 22 million people perish in that war.
Later in 1918, the Spanish Flu epidemic kills 50 million people in those two years.
At age 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%.
it lasts for 4 years.
At age 39, World War II starts. 75 million people die; including 6 million Jews in the Holocaust.
At age 50, the Korean War starts. 5 million perish.
At 55 the Vietnam War begins and doesn’t end for 20 years. 4 million people perish.
At 62 the Cuban Missile Crisis almost results in nuclear devastation.
Add to this, the assassination of President Kennedy (1963) and Martin Luther King Jr.(1968).
The Watergate scandal breaks in 1972-1974.
The collapse of the Soviet Union (1989) and the crumbling of the Berlin Wall brought the world hope for peace.
The Gulf War of 1990 shattered the signs of hope once more.
On and on it goes...
Covid-19 is another ugly chapter in world history.
We long for the day when the government to be upon his shoulders. (Isaiah 9:6)
