Same here. I've had a lot of illnesses in my lifetime, but never one where I completely lost my sense of smell for a couple of weeks - and my nose was never clogged. Low grade fever. Some aches and pains (like the flu). Definitely never had anything like that before.
God rose Pharaoh up to make an example of him. We don't know what God has in mind for Elon, but those with power and influence have accountability in an equal amount. Let's hope Elon's purposes are for good - but I still only trust God.
Even evil men have been used for purposes of good (look up Balaam's story).
Rommel was forced to commit suicide by Hitler. He did so to save his family and associates. I seriously doubt there is enough honor among the current cabal thieves in such a scenario. They will sacrifice anything and anyone to save themselves.
I was born in the late 60's and, yes, all of this is true.
What I have also noticed is that the speed of decline has been increasing rapidly over the last few years, and much more so since January 2021.
I agree that we are probably in the final stretch - but it's also possible that things will get MUCH worse before we arrive at the end.
The ONLY thing holding back the tide of full depravity is the presence of the Holy Spirit on the earth. Once He leaves, well, I wouldn't want to be here.
God sent His Son to die on our behalf so that by believing Jesus died for you God's Grace will be imparted and you will be reborn - a new creature. For those who aren't saved, I beg you to reach out to God - pray to Him to guide you. It's not yet too late.
My prayer is that all who thirst for justice, righteousness, and freedom (all pedes) receive strength, peace, and guidance for what is yet to come.
If you think you need to "clean yourself up" to reach out to Jesus - you are wrong. Jesus meets you exactly where you are. He knows and loves you more than you know and love yourself.
