(Jewish Group) Conservative pastor says spread of coronavirus in synagogues is punishment from G-d

Rick Wiles, the Florida pastor who claimed that the effort to impeach President Trump was a “Jew coup,” said the spread of coronavirus in synagogues is a punishment of the Jewish people for opposing Jesus.

Wiles made the claim Wednesday on his TruNews broadcast.

“The people who are going in to the synagogue are coming out of the synagogue with the virus,” Wiles said. “It’s spreading in Israel through the synagogues. God is spreading it in your synagogues! You are under judgment because you oppose his son, Jesus Christ. That is why you have a plague in your synagogues. Repent and believe on the name of Jesus Christ, and the plague will stop.”

Wiles also claimed that the U.S. outbreak started at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference in Washington, D.C., in early March. In fact, the first case and the first outbreak were both reported in Washington state.

is that when they finally die, their consciousness will end...gone...nothing.

No pearly gates.

No preferred seating for the righteous.

No reunion with family.

No snarky ridicule of those in hell.

They will not have the opportunity to see what idiots they were through their entire wasted existence.

to punish. Weird house of mirrors. I wonder how they explain that it’s not disproportionately killing LGBTs or women who’ve terminated their pregnancies...
