(OPINION) BIN – The COVID-19 pandemic is a global catastrophe but hidden within that great darkness are the sparks of the final redemption.

Jewish sources predict that all of the plagues will reappear in the final Redemption but in even more powerful forms. This reload of the Egyptian plagues was prophesied by Micah. I will show him wondrous deeds As in the days when You sallied forth from the land of Egypt. Micah 7:15
It is also written in Midrash Tanchuma, homiletic teachings collected around the fifth century, that “just as God struck the Egyptians with 10 plagues, so too He will strike the enemies of the Jewish people at the time of the Redemption.” This concept was explained by Rabbi Bahya ben Asher, a 13th-century Spanish commentator, who wrote, “In Egypt, God used only part of His strength. When the final redemption comes, God will show much, much more of His power.” READ MORE
