…your merchants were the great men of the earth,<\/span>
\nall nations were led astray by your magic potion. (Rev 18:23)<\/span><\/p>\n

AN<\/strong> article<\/a> in the National Catholic Register<\/em> (NCR) warned recently:<\/p>\n

Beware of So-Called \u2018Church Approved\u2019 Coronavirus Prevention<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Claims of apparition endorsement aside,<\/span><\/div>\n
such oils have been used for centuries in witchcraft for \u201cprotection.”<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The article goes on to cite Luz de Mar\u00eda de Bonilla, a Catholic mystic and stigmatist and Third Order Augustinian who presently resides in Costa Rica. Regarding what the NCR calls “so-called Church approved” messages, they did in fact receive what is a rare endorsement for a living seer from the Bishop of Estel\u00ed, Nicaragua. He declared:<\/p>\n
\n

The messages in these volumes are a treatise of spirituality, divine wisdom, and morality for those who welcome them with faith and humility, so I recommend them for you to read, meditate upon, and put into practice<\/em>. <\/strong><\/span>I DECLARE that I have not found any doctrinal error that attempts against the faith, morality and good habits, for which I grant these publications the Imprimatur<\/em>.<\/strong> \u2014Bishop Juan Abelardo Mata Guevara, SDB, cf. countdowntothekingdom.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

In several messages to Luz de Maria, as far back as 2010, there were bold warnings allegedly from Our Lord and the Blessed Mother that a plague was approaching, including this more recent word:
\n<\/em><\/div>\n

\n
\n

Pray, My children, pray. Do not forget that disease comes out of laboratories: use whatever I have mentioned to you for your health. <\/em><\/strong>(May 20, 2017)<\/span>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Commenting on the messages she allegedly received from Jesus, Luz de Maria stated:<\/p>\n

\n

Brothers, Christ warns us about a virus that will be used as a biological weapon…<\/strong> (October 14, 2015)<\/span>

Without wading into the debate on the origins of Covid-19, it is enough to say that a growing number of credible scientists are concluding that this coronavirus most likely orginated in a laboratory (see footnote).[1]<\/sup><\/a>While some scientists in the UK assert that Covid-19 came from natural origins,(nature.com<\/a>) a new paper from South China\u2019s University of Technology claims \u2018the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.'(Feb. 16th, 2020; dailymail.co.uk<\/a>) In early February 2020, Dr. Francis Boyle, who drafted the U.S. \u201cBiological Weapons Act\u201d, gave a detailed statement admitting that the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive Biological Warfare Weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knows about it.(cf. zerohedge.com<\/a>) An Israeli biological warfare analyst said much the same.(Jan. 26th, 2020; washingtontimes.com<\/a>) Dr. Peter Chumakov of the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology and Russian Academy of Sciences claims that \u201cwhile the Wuhan scientists\u2019 goal in creating the coronavirus was not malicious\u2014instead, they were trying to study the pathogenicity of the virus\u2026 They did absolutely crazy things, in my opinion. For example, inserts in the genome, which gave the virus the ability to infect human cells.\u201d(zerohedge.com<\/a>) Professor Luc Montagnier, 2008 Nobel Prize winner for Medicine and the man who discovered the HIV virus in 1983, claims that SARS-CoV-2 is a manipulated virus that was accidentally released from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.(cf. gilmorehealth.com<\/a>) A new documentary<\/a>, quoting several scientists, points toward COVID-19 as an engineered virus.
