The Bible and COVID-19: 5 Things the Bible Can Teach Us about Preparedness

Coronavirus has the U.S.A., and the rest of the world, on edge as reports emerge daily about new cases of infection. If people aren’t Googling for COVID-19 symptoms or maps showing locations of recent breakouts, then they’re searching for tips on how to avoid infection or signs of how the virus may be related to Scripture and Bible prophecy.

Others, however, are looking for reminders about trusting God amid times of uncertainty, as the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is certainly such a time.

The Bible offers ample encouragement for those who may be feeling anxious or fearful about the present health crisis.

The Bible remains a go-to source for Christians who find it challenging to pray during the coronavirus pandemic, or who simply want to be encouraged by Scripture to remain hopeful during the current COVID-19 health crisis.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, people around the world remain in self-isolation and quarantine to help reduce the rate of infections. Businesses have closed their doors, schools are keeping children away, and many Christians have, for the first time, been forced to worship at home via online services.

In addition to their health, many are also worried about their finances. So it’s understandable that people are feeling anxious or afraid. Others may be finding it hard to remain encouraged during this difficult time.

If you are uncertain of how to pray or what to pray during this uncertain time, the Bible offers plenty of guidance. Scripture is chocked full of people who found themselves in similar, if not worse, circumstances than we find ourselves in today.

5 Things the Bible Can Teach Us about Preparedness

While modern society likes to pretend we are somehow more advanced than previous generations, I believe we lack the knowledge and many of the skills that helped past generations not only survive but thrive.

What does the Bible say about Prepping?

The foundation of preparedness goes back to the beginning of time; its principles are found throughout the Bible, with numerous passages dedicated to preparedness planning and survival. For those that are Christian, many of these passages might sound familiar; for those that aren’t, there are still many truths that can be discovered by reading them.

Noah didn’t wait until it started raining to build the ark

Unfortunately, this is how most people live today, waiting until the last possible moment to prepare for what’s coming. This can be witnessed at your local grocery store every time a natural disaster warning is issued. Time after time, the unprepared masses descend on the local supermarket; only to find the store wiped out by other unprepared people, all hoping to stock up right before the disaster hits.

Genesis 6:21 (KJV)
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

482-Year-Old Secret To Surviving SHTF…

What if I told you that NASA rediscovered a superfood that’s been lost to history for the past 482 years? It’s packed with more nutrients than any other food out there and lasts even longer than pemmican. In fact, it’s so easy to store and cheap to make, you might never need another emergency food.

The wise prepare, the fool goes blindly ahead to suffer the consequences

This concept of preparedness is nothing new; in fact, long before the word Prepper or survivalist became part of the modern lexicon, the Bible encouraged the wise man to study the dangers ahead, and then take precautions to protect themselves and their family from those threats.

Proverbs 27:12 (KJV)
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

The Wise man takes food storage seriously

Even during short-term disasters, food supplies can be cut off in an instant. If that happens, you’re going to have to live off only the supplies you currently have in your home for weeks, maybe longer. During a long-term disaster, your food supplies, and your ability to acquire and preserve new food are going to be determining factors in whether or not you make it through.

Proverbs 21:20
The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.

Be Strong, and Stand Strong in the Faith

We live in a time where being a man and standing strong seems to be frowned upon. Day after day our young boys are being brainwashed into thinking being a man is something they should be ashamed of, and our girls are told they don’t need men, and manly behavior is old-fashioned and an outdated trait.

Even our military has been assaulted with the idea that there’s no difference between men and women, as physical training requirements are cutback so women can be included in the Special Forces – something that will have disastrous consequences.

I believe this perversion in teaching is a dangerous precedent that sets everyone up for disaster. We need strong men in our society; to teach otherwise does nothing to ensure our survival.

1 Corinthians 16:13
Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

You need to be alert and don’t let society dull your senses

We have a big problem in today’s society; people have let modern culture literally turn them into walking zombies; blindly chasing immorality and worldly passions, while totally checking out of the real world. They are so blinded by their lust and greed that they have become blind to the world and the very real dangers that are out there.

I’m often asked why I cover the news on a survival site. The reason I do this is that we need to be alert, and awake to what’s really going on. We can’t blindly follow the zombies into the pits of hell; we must be alert, and ready for the very real evils that are out there.

1 Thessalonians 5:6
Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

While I’m sure there are going to be a number of people who may not agree with the topic, I wanted to talk about it because when it comes to preparedness and survival, I think salvation is the most important survival topic we can talk about. In the end, if Christians are right, it’s the only way one can ensure their ultimate survival.

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. (2 Timothy 1:7)

I highly recommend this book to everyone. 300 pages, color, paperback. The Lost Book of Remedies is helping Americans achieve medical self-sufficiency even in the darkest times using the time-tested methods of our grandparents without spending lots of money on toxic drugs and without side effects. A great asset when doctors and hospitals won’t be available any more given the current situation. You may not be Claude Davis, but you can make use of his procedures and techniques to increase your chances of survival!
