“Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.“
—Revelation 13:11,12

Like Job’s encounter with acts of God who gave, took away, and gave again— Europe’s great act of God took away and gave again. “The Black Death” (1347 to 1351) greatly decreased the population density of cities, improved hygiene by sweeping away much human and animal waste (and the attendant troubles), and naturally increased the amount of food available, thus improving nutrition and health overall. The Death equally struck rich and poor, thereby clearing the way for innovative men of talent from the countryside to move in and take the places once held in abominably arrogant, overweight, selfish, and idle delight by the recently dead hereditary nobility.
A rebirth of learning, art, and culture called the Renaissance took root in this fertile Death and lead directly to the Reformation, without which the Mayflower would have never landed at Plymouth Rock loaded with Puritans whose theocratic program collapsed into a deistical plot of Freemasons to overthrow the old order of kings ruling the world, replacing them with federated republics, starting July 4th, 1776 in the New World— ending soon with the end of the world, as it is finally forged into a federal republic, an United State of the World (with united economies and religions), which will be crushed at the return of the King of kings. Thank God! In short, COVID-19 is fostering unity between Islam and Catholicism, which is a dreadful “renaissance” indeed, if the False Prophet and the Anti-Christ prove to be the flowers thereof.

Mephistopheles:
“Methinks, by most, ’twill be confess’d
That Death is never quite a welcome guest.”
—Goethe’s Faust, Part 1
Mephistopheles:
“Forbear to trifle longer with thy grief,
Which, vulture-like, consumes thee in this den.”
—Goethe’s Faust, Part 1
Mephistopheles:
“I’m weary of the dry pedantic tone,
And must again the genuine devil play.
(Aloud) Of medicine the spirit’s caught with ease,
The great and little world you study through,
That things may then their course pursue,
As heaven may please.
In vain abroad you range through science’ ample space,
Each man learns only that which learn he can:
Who knows the moment to embrace,
He is your proper man.
—Goethe’s Faust, Part 1
