When the NT says that Jesus decided to go back to heaven, izt recorded his promise that he would be with his followers all the time, presumably to care for them.
So let's see how this coronavirus spread so quickly in South Korea.
Note: This video has been made by a Singaporean media group that calls itself 'Mothership SG"
Its unlikely that the woman named as a 'superpreader' is the only source of the virus in South Korea, but the church seems to have been a major source of the infection.
We can only conclude that since Jesus promised to be with his followers, he either didn't care whether they became infected with the virus, OR that he went to sleep and didn't see danger that his Korean followers were in.
The church has branches in China, and some sources that there is a congregation of that church in Wuhan and that 200 members of the Korean church were in Wuhan in January. I cant verify that yet, but since this church is known for its missionary activity it is quite likely.
Here's a video about the church and its leader. You will likely quickly understand the source of some of his ideas. This video was made by the South China Morning Post - A Hong Kong Newspaper (But owned by Jack Ma, the founder of China's Alibaba Group)
This group is a CULT. - Shincheonji, Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (SCJ), commonly known as Shincheonji
1. "Shincheonji" claims that the Bible is written in metaphors which only its founder, Lee, can correctly interpret.
2. He claims that one can truly know God only by following and listening to the teachings of Shincheonji.
3. "Those who become involved [in Shincheonji] gradually withdraw from friends and family and actively lie about their real lives."
4. Once they are into this group, they spend most of their time inviting people to join Shincheonji group and spend less time with their families, friends
Sound familiar?
This group has little to do with Jesus and everything to do with their "High Leader".
So much for jesus saving anything. And neither will joke-hova, or any leaders in the names of either. Here, one church group got the ball rolling. In the case of the jokehovians, you are likely to see the virus spreading through whole communities, one witless spreading it from door to door or contracting the virus at the door, subsequently infecting whole congregations and many in the ministry. Or, anyone stupid enough to attempt a mission in Israel this year is in for a rude awakening.
In addition to direct harm from the virus, they are taught not to prepare. "Trust in the Lord" in one form or another, is bad advice. These people should have been using field circus time and money going to the store to pick up extra supplies. With the amount of money wasted on just 3 suit dry-cleanings, they could reasonably buy 10 pounds of rice, one bag of powdered milk, a few different bags of legumes (varied legumes mixed with beans, peas, and lentils), a tub of peanut butter, a couple boxes of crackers, and a few spices. Not much, but that would be enough to not starve in a 2 week supply disruption. With the amount wasted in one month for field circus gas, one could get 10 pounds of pasta, a tub of broth, a few cans of tuna or chicken, and other ingredients to make assorted meals out of it.
This goes for all church. How much money do people waste by putting it on the collection plate that could have gone for a box of Bisquick or equivalent baking mix? Or for that bottle of echinacea or oregano oil? Now is not the time to worry about jesus getting its money. You are better off spending it on food. Even silver should take a back seat to food at a time like this--once the shortages hit, or once the crisis passes, then is a good time to resume stacking silver or gold. No, I do not advocate going in and buying $20,000 worth of stuff now. (And especially things like bottled water. Pandemics do not wipe out water. And this is not a grid down situation.)
And, with the energy you donate to joke-hova to enslave mankind, the money is the least of your worries. By putting your energy to this thing instead of using it to protect your health, you could pick up the virus. Or, turn what might have been a "cold" into something where you end up in the hospital. You need that energy. God does not.
It should be clear to all that "faith" in Jesus or YHWH does nothing to protect anyone from any danger. We all discovered that personally, but still some think that jesus/YHWH will be a magic charm against any sort of danger.
The useless 'faith' of the Korean "Mew heaven and New Earth" society can be seen in this photograph of a team of sanitisers disinfecting a sect church in Korea.
Today the number of Covid-19 infections in South Korea has reached over 5000, the second largest number of infections in the world (next to China) - and that horrible statistic is almost all a result of the stupid beliefs of this sect.
And, Australians and Americans may not be thrilled to know that there are branches of the sect in their respective nations.

The above image was published on the web-site of CNA (Channel News Asia) a government controlled media group in Singapore under the title, " Shincheonji: The secretive sect in South Korea's COVID-19 outbreak "
There are already people in the US saying they will deliberately spread the virus.
Can't we just shoot them? Why does the world put up with these despicable fools?
South Koreans have a strong penchant for cults in which membership spreads like wildfire. I've no doubt that the members of Shincheonji will view the Korean government's clamp-down on their activities as persecution.
