Is the Covid 19 a chastisement or plague from God ?

Is the Covid 19 a chastisement or plague from God ? As I check facebook and twitter I keep seeing where various individuals are saying the Covid 19 is a chastisement from God. Other individuals are saying this is a plague from God. I myself do not think that either of these two assumptions are right. There is a very interesting place in scripture where Jesus talks about harming the little ones.




Matthew 18:6

“Whoever causes one of these little ones* who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.




If Jesus is talking about children, then he would be contradicting himself. We know that Jesus would never do harm in any way to any child. So then who is causing the Covid 19 ?




I am thinking that Satan is behind the Covid 19. It seems as though we are ever closer to the coming back of our Lord And Savoir Jesus Christ. So Satan knows his time is getting very close. He will try and cause as much destruction and death as possible. All we can do is keep an eye out and pray for the whole world.
