• Psalm 91:3-8
    Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
    And from the perilous pestilence.
    He shall cover you with His feathers,
    And under His wings you shall take refuge;
    His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
    You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
    Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
    Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
    Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side,
    And ten thousand at your right hand;
    But it shall not come near you.
    Only with your eyes shall you look,
    And see the reward of the wicked.

And I will pursue them with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence; and I will deliver them to trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth—to be a curse, an astonishment, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them, because they have not heeded My words, says the LORD, which I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; neither would you heed, says the LORD.

The Creepy-Crawler Pestilence

Commentary by Martin G. Collins

Pestilence is God's judgment on hard-hearted, disobedient people.

These pestilences were not necessarily life-threatening, but they were …


Pandemic!

'Prophecy Watch' by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Pestilence of major proportions is certain in the last days, as Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24:7.

The Four Horsemen (Part Five): The Pale Horse

'Prophecy Watch' by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The fourth horseman, the pale rider named Death, brings death by disease. His horse is chlooros , the sickly greenish-gray of a corpse or decaying flesh, the term Thucydides applied to plague victims.
