Hi John and Doves,
Following on from my post regarding the Covid-19 virus in conjunction with politics - this article really caught my interest.
We all remember the shocking news in 2019 of Israel allowing public transport on the Sabbath. The first Sabbath bus drove out on November 23rd, 2019. This was a monumental sin against Almighty God. Read the story of the Exodus to get the full impact of how the Sabbath is to be kept Holy unto God.
The first case of Covid-19 in Israel was confirmed on February 21st, 2020. Beginning on March 11th, 2020, Israel began enforcing social distancing. on March 19th, 2020, Netanyahu declared a national state of emergency. Please see links 2 and 3 below for confirmation.
The first link holds the news of the bus driver's strike, beginning on Wednesday July 29th. It's a VERY interesting article. It showed me just how Almighty God is using this virus to shut down the Sabbath transport debacle. Seriously - if we follow the the severity of the virus in each country (particularly Israel) we can clearly see our LORD's fingerprints. He is in total control.
It is VERY telling that this bus drivers strike is to begin the day before the ominous day of 9th Av. I am writing this on Tuesday July 28th. Perhaps, by the time this is printed on Sunday August 2nd, we may have seen further developments!
