Babylon, "the Great"
“Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,
‘So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence,
and will be found no more;
and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft will be found in you no more,
and the sound of the mill will be heard in you no more,
and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more,
and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more…’” (Revelation 18:21-23).
Babylon, the proud City of Man, "laid waste in a single hour." 18:17) The arts, the crafts, the industries, the arenas, the markets, the meeting places and all the joys of life sink like a millstone into the sea.
All because of a tiny germ...
“The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity" (1 John 2:17, The Message).

David, fewer than 40 words of your own and two portions from The Living Word, and you have blogged the most profound statement on our current world pandemic that I have read. Thank you.
Blessings to you and Carolyn.
Notice the date...3-16, as in John 3:16
Yes, a very profound word for us today, and thank you very much.
Hanging on to Jesus!
In other parts of the world it was actually 16:3! Best not to read too much into the date but concentrate on the wisdom David channels.
Sorry Alexandra, but you missed my point. I wasn't focused on the date so much as the reference and what it means and how much it is needed to be believed in especially under the circumstances of today and what Mr. Roper was referring to in his words. We all need Jesus, plain and simple. God bless us all.
