IX. Finally, someone is telling the truth about bird flu!

NEWS BRIEF: "Bird flu fearsome but fickle", By Marwaan Macan-Markar, Asia Times, November 3, 2005

"BANGKOK - Despite the doomsday scenarios being painted by some media now that Europe has detected its first signs of bird flu, the virus has left only a small signature in Asia since it first surfaced in January 2004. After two winters, and with a third cold season approaching, the H5N1 strain of the bird flu virus has still not mutated into a strain capable of being transmitted among humans - much less triggering a global pandemic, observe public health experts in Southeast Asia.

" 'The virus has been changing in the normal way we expect it to, but it has not mutated into a critical level that could be worrying', said Dr Supamit Chunsuttiwat, senior medical officer at the department of disease control in Thailand's Public Health Ministry. 'We have no evidence to suggest that the [H5N1 strain of the] virus that has been detected in Thailand has mutated to one that could cause a pandemic'."

Finally, some medical authorities are coming forward, boldly stating that this bird flu has not jumped the species barrier. Even President Bush admitted as much, even as he was proposing spending nearly $7 billion on a bird flu pandemic plan!

Of course, the time will come when scientists will solemnly announce that the bird flu virus has suddenly mutated to the point where the virus can infect humans. At that point, the panic will begin, and people will line up to accept the vaccine which is designed to kill them,.

The planned reintroduction of the "Black Plague" seems to be just on the horizon. What does prophecy say?

"When the Lamb broke open the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature call out, Come! So I looked, and behold, an ashy pale horse, black and blue as if made so by bruising, and its rider's name was Death, and Hades (the realm of the dead) followed him closely. And they were given authority and power over a fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword and with famine and with plague (pestilence, disease) and with wild beasts of the earth." (Revelation 6:7-8; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]

"Then He told them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. [II Chron. 15:6; Isa. 19:2.] There will be mighty and violent earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences (plagues: malignant and contagious or infectious epidemic diseases which are deadly and devastating)..." (Luke 21:10-11; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]
