Bible has predicted COVID-19 and Judgement Day what comes shortly after it

Why is it if the Lord is telling you this pandemic is him punishing human beings for whatever bad thing they're doing right now particularly,

"Because of the signs that he is given the power to do on behalf of, or in the presence of, the composite beast, he will CAUSE the people to.....​

I think Covid is one of the signs from Revelation 13. I don't think Covid will be the thing that kills off 1/3 of mankind. I think Covid is being used by the second beast as the catalyst to cause a major change in people's behavior on a global scale.

and He is telling you in these verses to go inside and lock the doors...

That might be the prudent course of action.

Because of the signs that he is given the power to do, he will even cause fire to fall from heaven in the full veiw of men.

Signs are plural.

Remember those early days of Covid when governments around the world were sending out planes for the purpose of repatriating their people?

"Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by.​

This was pretty much accomplished by Covid, on a global scale.

why is it that the so-called 'born-again' Christians defy wearing masks, or not gather together in church services during his plague?

Can't speak specifically to these situations.

Are they being disobedient the Lord in these verses?

There may come a time.

Have you worn your mask and obeyed distancing guidelines, such as in Isaiah?

I would expect we're not finished yet.

Would the Jews have survived God's targeted killings of all the firstborn children in Egypt, if they'd have said putting blood on their doorposts and staying indoors was an infringement upon their personal liberties, and they'll be out in the streets unprotected, no problem? What do you make of this? Are these Christians disobedient to God?

I'm not sure your two examples are accurate comparisons.

There may come a time when they will be off side of obedience.

On the other end of the scale, I doubt that now would be a good time to go on a cruise ship.

Did you know that the Titanic is being rebuilt, and you can go on it's maiden voyage.

Titanic II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Clive Palmer project.

Titanic II is a planned ocean liner intended to be a functional modern-day replica of the Olympic-class RMS Titanic. The new ship is planned to have a gross tonnage (GT) of 56,000, while the original ship measured about 46,000 gross register tons (GRT).[note 1] The project was announced by Australian billionaire Clive Palmer in April 2012 as the flagship of the proposed cruise company Blue Star Line Pty. Ltd. of Brisbane, Australia.[3] The intended launch date was originally set in 2016,[4] delayed to 2018,[5] then 2022.[6] The development of the project was resumed in November 2018 after a hiatus which began in 2015, caused by a financial dispute[7][8] that affected the $500 million project.[9]

We may be able to relive the route of the Titanic starting in 2022. Here’s all you need to know about the proposed Titanic II replica.

The wonder and awe of "all things".
Umm... no.... Here's a cool 3D visualization of the history of pandemics. It's pretty abundantly clear Covid-19 is not the first in history. See here:

View attachment 48311
It would be interesting to model those outcomes if penicillin had been discovered a millennia earlier, or if mask wearing had been understood many centuries earlier for air born viruses.

Or Covid, which globally may be curtailed by 4 million (IHME future model), re-modeled without any vaccines.

We've had global pandemics before. It affected human behavior global as well back then. Perhaps you mean to say that the current level of interconnectedness is a factor that spells these are the end times of suspected prophecy?

Bear in mind though, each generation that has existed, always considers themselves modern times and the world on the edge of the end times as well. Just as we do today. And yes, things are critical right now, just as it was for them before us on the edge of tomorrow as we are.

Oh dear, that both fascinates me, and terrifies me at the same time. Particularly so, if it's maiden voyage plans to add an iceberg sightseeing cruise. o_O

During the election, Trump said: "they're using Covid to steal the election.

He nailed it.

I'm sure he didn't know the depth of it, but he called it.

There has not been a generation since Jesus walked the earth, that has lived subsequent to these two specific decrees to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem.

For me to be wrong on this would require the Knesset Jews of 1969 to orchestrate a practical joke in cooperation with Suleiman the Magnificent in 1535.

These stones cry out to the contrary, they do not hold their peace:

It would be even more fascinating were an article to print: " 'God Himself Could Not Sink This Ship' .

But those who die in the LORD will live; their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the earth will rise up and sing for joy! For your life-giving light will fall like dew on your people in the place of the dead! Go home, my people, and lock your doors! Hide yourselves for a little while until the LORD’s anger has passed. Look! The LORD is coming from heaven to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will no longer hide those who have been killed. They will be brought out for all to see.

Isaiah 26:19-21 NLT

So, you're suggesting COVID is the result of an angry God, and he's coming to punish the people of the earth for their sins...but that locking a door will help?

I'm truly amazed by people's ability to add 1 and 1 together and get this sort of precision. Assuming this passage is 100% completely true (which is one heckuva leap, but whatevs) there is still no clear reason to think this is COVID related, and not some past or future pandemic.

I actually see the election as a the public's clear response to his poor handling of the pandemic and the countless unnecessary deaths as a result. I do not accept the election fraud lie. He lost overwhelmingly. But yes, in a true sense, Covid helped him lose the election. Covid exposed Trump's clear failure as the United States president in a pandemic situation. He was ill suited for the job, and got fired by the American public in a free and fair election. His behaviors leaving the office were a disgrace to the whole country.

These stones cry out to the contrary, they do not hold their peace:
I recall reading prophecies back in 1980, how everything was all aligned for the Lord's return in 1984. That was 40 years ago that was all ready to happen back then. And I'm sure it's been every decade since, as well as before, back to the time of the first generation after Christ.

I think the focus of Christians should be healing the world, instead of looking for it all to end so soon. I think skipping out of this life really misses the point of Christianity.

Define a pandemic, define an epidemy. They are not the same. COVID19 - very first pandemic in the history of the Universe.
Not according to the Bible:

In a number of places in the Bible, there is mention of plagues, pestilence, or pandemics killing people. For example, in Lev. 26:25, when Israel falls into covenant violations, God says, “I will send pestilence among you.” In II Chronicles 6:28, Solomon says if there is pestilence, famine or blight, may God hear from the temple the prayers of the people. In the next chapter, II Chron. 7:13, God says that if he sends pestilence, the people can pray and humble themselves (v. 14). Plague number four on the Egyptians is pestilence on their livestock, and as a result they all die as mentioned in Exod. 9:3-6. In II Sam. 24:15, God sends a pestilence that kills 70,000 Israelites because of David’s ill-conceived census. Jesus says in Luke 21:11 that there will be plagues. Both Ezekiel and Jeremiah speak of God sending plagues, for example, in Ezek. 14:21 and 33:27, and Jer. 21:6, 7 and 9. In Rev. 6:8, the “Pale Rider” kills a fourth of the earth with the sword, famine, and pestilence.

Pandemic is the GLOBAL epidemy. When Israel was sick, the Indians in America were not sick. Can you understand this fact?

Learn this fact: there are no past pandemics. We witness the very first one.

People commonly misuse the term 'fact', which is somewhat ironic.
You're doing so here.

This is certainly NOT the first pandemic. It merely suits your belief system to pretend it is. Stamping your foot and calling your request a 'fact' does nothing to change this.

Feel free to post a recognised definition of 'pandemic' that demands a given severity, or truly global event though.
