Conversation With the Gods About Corona Virus

Conversation with the Gods About Corona Virus

Rev. Jake ’s on-line sermon on the Corona Virus

I am reverend Jake and I have a message from God 
Last night I had a vision from God
it was his message to the world
about this pandemic we are facing

I found myself in a large room
Jehovah, God, was sitting in the middle
surrounded by the other Gods
they were all there

Jesus on his right
Allah on his left
Buddha behind him
Ganesh, Shiva, Kali 
Mohammed, Joseph Smith and other prophets
Gabriel and other angels abound 
St Peter in front of his as his Chief of Staff
Zeus, Jupiter, Minerva and ancient 
other gods all around him

God spoke up
He said 
I have a message for you
to give to your people
all of your people

no matter what religion
or no religion at all
it is all one after all

first the corona virus 
is a natural phenomenon
we have no control 
over forces of nature

and we did not send 
it to you
to punish you
for homosexuality
or anything else at all

Second obey the health directives
stay at home
do your services on line
it is okay with us
we are fine with that

the blood of Jesus
will not save you
If you are in a crowded place
like church or a mosque service
the virus will spread
and catch you in the end 

Prayers alone will not save you
but please keep praying
we do listen to your prayers
but we can only do so much

So please don’t allow the virus
to spread
because of your ignorance
and fear

realize that in the end
the virus will do its thing
and you will survive

and we 
all the gods here 
love you humans

and wish you well
so stay at home
practice self distancing


It is God’s will 
all will survive
