The Foolishness of Man Has Caused a Plague

There are no true prophets of old who can warn us of the horrors to come, we must rely on His word by putting down the shining sword; there are no humble and comforting words coming from the mouths of the heathens who ignore every sign and step on the meadows of grass to make them complete wastelands... while wildfires destroy beautiful forests to increase the heat in the atmosphere making glacials melt and endanger bears by driving them away from the home they revere. The foolishness of Man has caused a plague able to wipe out all Humanity in a year, it's another Black Death killing the masses inducing panic among nations effected by fear; is there a lamp to carry and guide us through the darkness? Unbelievers compromise words making them vague, if believers had the incredible faith of Daniel indeed, they would be saved from the lions' den never being afraid; are we as patient as he was leaving his revenge to God... to prove how powerful He is in moments of need?

Thank you, Silent. I hope you take precautions as I do. The world has succumbed to the deadly virus. Let's pray that it may be contained.
