(ORDO NEWS) — If we look closely at the history of mankind, we will see that throughout its history, human society has never remained at rest.
These were either wars or mysterious and inexplicable epidemics. Are these epidemics random events, or are they caused by something more sinister? Let’s see what history tells us about the devastating epidemics that happened before us.
In the pre-Christ period, when the plague occurred, it was always considered ” an act of God ” (or gods). In all mythologies and religions, this has always been the case.
One such well-known outbreak of plague was the seven plagues of Egypt, which God, through Moses, sent to the Egyptian Empire during the famous exodus of the Israelites from Egypt.
The seven plagues, according to the Bible, show the clear and deliberate intervention of God with the specific purpose of helping his followers and showing his strength no matter what.
“And the river will bring frogs in abundance, which will rise up and enter into your house, and into your bedchamber, and into your bed, and into the house of your servants, and into your people, and into your ovens, and into your troughs. And the frogs will come out on you, and on your people, and on all your servants” – “Exodus: 8:3-4”
“I did this also so that you could tell your children and grandchildren about how I mocked the Egyptians and about the signs that I showed among them, and that you might know that I am the Lord.” Exodus 10:2
Another notable plague (before Christ) was the Plague of Athens , which occurred around 430 BC. during the second year of the Peloponnesian War and at a critical moment when the Athenians were about to win the war – the result changed the course of events.
It was an era of decay, when the ancient Greek religion no longer had power, people were unfaithful, and the gods seemed to have abandoned the Greeks.
According to the Delphic oracle, Apollo himself was guilty of the disease, who supported the opposite side (Sparta) instead of Athens. The historian Thucydides makes extensive reference to the plague of Athens in his writings.
“This year, according to the recognition of all people, was of all others, for other diseases, the freest and healthiest.
If someone was sick before, his illness passed into this one; if not, then suddenly, without any apparent cause that preceded the illness, and being completely healthy, they fell ill first with severe pain in the head, redness and inflammation of the eyes, and then internally, their throat and tongue became bloody, and their breathing became noisy and unpleasant. – Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War
After Christ, one of the major outbreaks of the plague was the Plague of Justinian , which struck the Byzantine Empire during the reign of Justinian, one of Byzantium’s most powerful emperors.
Coincidentally, the plague happened during Justinian’s plans to launch a series of military campaigns (genocide) to take back the lands that once belonged to the Roman Empire.
It was then in the middle of the sixth century BC that a deadly disease appeared . The number of victims of the pandemic ranged from 25 to 100 million people in Europe and Asia.
Recent research indicates that the plague was likely caused by a bacterium, the same bacterium that has also been linked to other pandemics, including the later Black Death.
However, it is not known how this bacterium appeared. sources from the era mention a number of unusual aerial phenomena that occurred at the time the plague broke out .
One historian, Gregory of Tours, documented a number of phenomena during the years of the plague, including bright lights appearing around the sun and burning skies .
Other reports from France mention a brightly lit night sky, making it look like day, and a huge “dragon” swimming through the city and descending to the sea , which preceded the immediate outbreak of plague in the area.
And even though some of these events may be related to phenomena such as the “sun dog” effect, some of them defy explanation.
Could it be meteorites falling to Earth and bringing deadly bacteria and viruses with them?
Or was it a deliberate intervention by the “gods” to punish humanity and change history as it was written in the past?
The ” Black Death ” later became another major plague that appeared between 1347 and 1350 and continued until the late 1600s.
According to rough estimates, more than 100 million people died from it. The Black Death began in Asia and then spread to Europe.
One of the strange things about the Black Death is that it spread at a speed and in ways that seem impossible given the lack of air transport at the time.
The plague just inexplicably appeared at the same time in several different areas . Most historical accounts of the plague mention a fetid mist that preceded the outbreak.
At the same time, strange bright lights were reported in the sky , and these reports came from various places. Many comets were seen over Europe before the first outbreak of the plague.
And again we have the same picture as in the case of the plague of Justinian: strange phenomena accompanying the plague. Of course, this plague has also been attributed to the wrath of God.
The epidemics mentioned in this article are just a few of those that have wiped out humanity.
Whether they were “natural” events, or events caused by meteorites, or the actual intervention of the “gods”, remains to be seen.
However, it is clear that something is wrong with their occurrence, and the pattern is repeated in all these major epidemics.
At the moment, humanity is experiencing another “plague” that has arisen from nowhere. Have we angered the “gods” again?
