Dear Friends,
As some of you know I am a citizen of and am living in China, your prayers for me and us are envied.
I am so saddened and angered by the disaster brought upon the free world by the Chinese of which I am not completely guiltless as a citizen of this country (china) and a subject of this regime. I am also beyond contempt of the Chinese people (My countrymen and women) who revel in and actively propagate the sheer fabricated lie about how this virus originated in the U.S.!
I strongly hope and pray that God will not let the anti-Christ's agent harm his chosen ones and that this pandemic will not cost President Trump his well-deserved Presidency. And this will only serve as the loving rod and protective staff for his flock. God is still on the throne. Nothing happens without his permission and not for the good of those who love him and ultimately his glory.
I anticipate and would embrace a global anti-Chinese and Communism sentiment and movement. I pray for the breakup of the globalized supply chain that has in the first place nurtured the regime. Even if that means I will not be able to leave this place; it is a price I am willing to pay. At another time I would have been so beleaguered by that prospect. But I am sure of God's righteousness and his mercy. Heavens shall declare his righteousness, "no one can or should escape the verdict passed by himself (his own choices or behaviors)". And I'd rather fall into the hands of the Almighty.
This is an excerpt from my journal a few days ago.
Therefore I can lift up my head and gaze on the beauty of the LORD from now until forever.

I'm assuming that you are following the news closely on the spread of the Chinese Virus across the world, esp. in the US and Europe. The surge of death in Italy and steep rise in cases in the US, Germany and Spain.

The above YouTube (and this link) is a Chinese worship song that never fails to speak to me. It is obviously based on Psalm 69 and 27 by King David during his persecution by his enemies that celebrate Jehovah's forgiving love. Encircled in the Arms of His Love in the time of flooding.The hypothesis that the collapse of China, economically and politically, should seal my personal loss, worries me not at all. I would gladly embrace it as a necessary collateral damage or sanctifying sacrifice for the demise of an evil power.
Therefore I can lift up my head and gaze on the beauty of the LORD from now until forever.
I remember the classic story plot of the hero realizing that he is part of the problem ( having a share in the evil) decides to let himself die in order to rid of the problem.
