"The coronavirus is one of who knows how many diseases he meant, but the fact that is has affected the whole planet in such dramatic fashion forces to consider its prophetic ramifications," wrote Prewitt.

As per Prewitt, Egypt has suffered from great plagues in the past as they dared to touch people who were chosen by God, Express.co.uk reports. The author believes that religious restrictions in China could be one of the main reasons why the virus started its killing spree from the Asian nation.

Coronavirus fulfilling Biblical prophecies?

In the meantime, a section of adamant Christian believers has started claiming that the coronavirus outbreak is actually fulfilling Biblical prophecies mentioned in the Book of Revelation. As per these people, the world is currently going through the great tribulation period where natural disasters and pandemic outbreaks will be quite common. They also believe that these events are actually associated with the second coming of Christ.
