The Father has been telling those who have prophetic ears to hear the disease was among us. We have been writing about it. Now here it is. There is more to come soon following this outbreak.

Apr.20, 2019: Pestilences

​Nov.20 2019: The Signs Of The End Times? They Are Upon Us:
I stated under point #3
"It is a contagious epidemic outbreak of a deadly disease that is devastating like the bubonic plague was." 
"Many of the diseases that are across the globe are kept quiet in the media and need to be researched to find the name of the disease and the extent of the outbreak. Once these reach full stage there will be no way the outbreaks can be hidden."

Jan.4 2020: Prophetic End Times Events That Are Currently Taking Place Or Soon Will Happen.
#5 on the list is Pestilences from Matt.24:7, Lk.21:11 & Rev.6:8

Luke 21:11 ESV  There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

Matthew 24:6-8 ESV And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. (7) For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. (8) All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.

DISASTERS:
The disasters we have seen or read about recently are not the “end” but according to Scriptures they are the “beginning of sorrows.” The kind of knowledge we urgently need is both natural and spiritual. We, as believers, do not want to be among those who wait until it's too late. At the same time we do not want to operate out of fear for fear is a tormenting spirit and is not from God.

1 John 4:17-18 ESV By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. (18) There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

WE WILL BE HATED:
At the same time we need to know that the Scriptures state that in the end times “true believers” will be hated and betrayed, and the love that many have for God and His Word will fail because of the intense increase of wickedness on the earth. We are called to endure unto the end. This means to “endure in the faith.”

This is certainly not the time to seek to be people pleasers. We will fall prey to the trials and temptations of the enemy if being a friend to the world and to lost people is more important than obeying the truth of God's Word.

Matthew 24:9-13 ESV "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. (10) And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. (11) And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. (12) And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. (13) But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
