1)            The existential reality of it should not make its way into the annals of issues of debate. There is, I believe, absolutely nothing to disprove the documentation of those of whom its atmospheric waves have caused their interment or cremation. Many epidemics have ravaged the existence of soulish existence on terra firma. None of these recorded misfortunes have managed to shut homes, globally. None has, until the emergence of corona-virus, engaged all heads of United Nations’ countries of the earth. Honestly speaking, the way it has been, so far, reportedly communicated to the people of the earth, I expect more than a billion, that is, a seventh of the world’s population to have dropped dead and buried. It still ravages the air, no doubt.

                Will it be God, the Creator, unleashing this virus to punish the disobedience of Adamic populace? I, categorically, will not accept it: for a scriptural reason. Who, then, is responsible for covid19 pandemic?

Prince of the power of the air

                In Ephesians chapter two, Paul makes a comparison between regenerated souls of Christianity and those who are still dwelling in the disobedience of Adamic sinfulness. Verse two is a reminder of an entity of immense manipulative power over the affairs of Adamic existentiality. This verse is a proof of the fact that the said entity is authorised by the Eternal God, to engage in atmospheric acts of pestiferousness. Why is this entity so authorised? Adamic progeny sold his authority to the spirit of the ophidian meander of Eden Garden. “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:” [Ephesians 2:2].

                Sinfulness, our lifestyle, is a depiction of the way we have always ‘walked’, which is the Greek word, peripateō (per-ee-pat-eh’-o): ‘to make one’s way, progress; to make due use of opportunities; Hebrew metaphor for to live or lifestyle.’ The next word, ‘course’ is aiōn (ahee-ohn’): ‘for ever, an unbroken age, perpetuity of time, eternity; the worlds, universe; period of time, age.’  Aiōn in this verse speaks contextually of ‘age’ i.e. this present days of human world. ‘World’ of this verse is what the Greek calls kosmos (kos’-mos): ‘an apt and harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, government; ornament, decoration.’ As the god of the designed system of Satanism, the spiritual decoration of the world suits his desideration. The designate ‘prince’ is archōn (ar’-khone): ‘a ruler, commander, chief, leader.’

                Then we have the grammatical abstraction of ‘power’, exousia (ex-oo-see’-ah): ‘power of choice, liberty of doing as one pleases; leave or permission.’ Exousia is a delegated authority. God allowed Satan to have the authority; it does not truly belong to him. ‘Air’ is the Greek aēr (ah-ayr’): ‘the air, particularly the lower and denser air as distinguished from the higher and rarer air; the atmospheric region.’ Being spirit beings Satan and his demonic entities can build and dwell in the atmospheric space of the sky. They carry out their nefarious acts from the air.

Lucifer must mimic Jesus

                As Prince of the power of the air, Lucifer calls the wicked shots of Satanism. With the connivance of his Adamic minions he can spray any scientific concoction of destruction: for he is versed in metaphysical machination. Whose establishment is witchcraft, sorcery and magic? Is it not Lucifer, the prince of evil? John 12:31, “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.” The prince that Jesus meant in John 12:31 is Lucifer, also mentioned in the next verse. “But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils” [Matthew 12:24]. 1Corinthians 2:12 “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.” Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

                Getting born again is strictly a conscious effort on the part of an individual. It is of a personal conviction that, as the word of God says, Jesus is truly the only Saviour of the world. A soteriological dependence on the finished work of Jesus is the sole belief requirement of Scripture. Get born again by saying this simple prayer:

 “Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
