The fact is that a too easy life does not help sinful people to become better.
We are like children who needs God's discipline in order to start paying attention to God's righteous norms that are best for ourselves.
i was a jehovah's witnesses for 15 years (1983-1998) in pietermaritzburg and durban, south africa.
i was baptised in 1985; appointed a ministerial servant in 1987 (aged 21); refused military service on religious grounds in 1989 (served a three year community service sentence) and was appointed an elder in 1993 (aged 26).
i wrote to the governing body in brooklyn four times between 1992-97, respectfully questioning the nonsense they were publishing about science and evolution (you can see all my correspondence and their hilarious replies here: http://bit.ly/jw-md-letters ).

This video has some evidence of Noah's Ark.

EverApostate; "So, Noah and only 8 of his family were righteous in the whole world ?"
Unfortunately at that time because of Jehovah God's kindness and generosity and liberalism He had made it possible for people to live about 900 years in warm nice climate. But that evidently just gave people more time to harden in their sins and wickedness to the extent that only 8 persons were willing to obey God.
In addition God allowed angels to go against His will and come down to earth and live here. And that only accelerated the wickedness on earth.
So to change all He brought a world wide flood to change all. To make life harder on earth with scorching summers and iceing winters. And he removed the moisture in the atmosphere that protected the earth. I think that lead to a greater cosmic radiation that shortened the lifespan of people. Maybe under the crust of the earth there was also a layer of water that protected from radiation from earth's center.
Yes, in fact usually when people live trouble free life they loose their interest in God. So all the harder life conditions and shorter life span has helped humanity to stay interested about God and his will.
Sad that we humans need hardships to stay alert against our own sin.

Hello Mario, I see that you are a thinking person. So am I but I believe still in the Bible.
I would like to say about the flood. The Bible says that after the flood winter and summer would occur. That means that before the flood it was warm year round. And people could cultivate year round and survive without meat. Adam and Eve were also naked until they took the forbidden fruit. So it was warm year round. So only a world wide flood could had changed the climate for all the earth.
Would you not agree?
i hope that within the next several months we will get back to some type of normalcy.
will restaurants ever get filled again?
will you ever be able to sit at a bar or go to a concert or broadway show?.

Those who are able to connect this Covid event and the global response to Revelation 12 and 13 will be hopeful, especially those who understand the figurative woman's flight described in Revelation 12. There is a possibility to be a part of that and escape.

Under this link you can find the Rockefeller Foundation's:
National Covid-19 Testing Action Plan
In the pdf file you can find that they want to conduct 30 million Covid-19 tests per week to find every asymptomatic Covid-19 carrier.
And they want to charge 100 $ for each test. Page 13 point 5 in the document.
And they want to constantly keep on testing the population.
And they want to introduce every kind of tracking and health monitoring electronic digital devices to constantly keep track on the whole population.
If you read the full pdf document from the Rockefeller Foundation you will see what kind of tracking system they want to put everyone into and it will bring them enormous revenue.
They will be hunting the Corona virus like they hunted terrorists after 9/11.
i hope that within the next several months we will get back to some type of normalcy.

"There is no 'normal' to go back to. . ..nobody will believe the governments. The governments blew this thing way out of proportion, .
Nothing they warned about realized, not even their best case scenarios"
Yes, that is exactly what the well known statesman Henry Kissinger wrote April 3, 2020:
"Nations cohere and flourish on the belief that their institutions can foresee calamity, arrest its impact and restore stability. When the Covid-19 pandemic is over, many countries’ institutions will be perceived as having failed. Whether this judgment is objectively fair is irrelevant. The reality is the world will never be the same after the coronavirus. To argue now about the past only makes it harder to do what has to be done."

The Economist, co owned by the super powerful Rothschild banking family gives I think a realistic view of the future economy after the lockdowns. It is explained in their recent video:

No, life won't come back to normal completely. I think you will be able to quit using masks and gloves. Here in Sweden it is all voluntary and majority do not use and nothing bad happens. It is most people older than 70 who has died of Covid-19.
But the lockdowns in almost all the world's countries has created economic damage that will change the world for good.
This will usher in a new global financial authority that will demand worship and that everyone is marked with the mark of the beast or its name or its number.
Those who refuse will not be able to buy or sell. And the Bible also says that those who refuse to worship the beast will be sought out for elimination.
Revelation 13:5-8...and it was given authority to act for 42 months. And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God to blaspheme his name and his dwelling place, even those residing in heaven. It was permitted to wage war with the holy ones and conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. And all those who dwell on the earth will worship it.
But according to Revelation 12, God's woman, that is God's worldwide congregation will escape to a place in a wilderness far away from the beast system.
