Some people quickly claimed that Covid-19 was the beginning of the end times—a fulfillment of prophecy, a divine wake-up call, maybe even the “labor pains” of the last days.
Well, it wasn’t quite that simple. But the question remains: how should we interpret a global pandemic from a spiritual or religious point of view? Was it just another wave in history, or was it a signpost placed before humanity?
This thought takes me back to an earlier blog post—and to the central theme of my book The End. I have long wondered whether a Supreme Being could be introducing certain events in our lives to push us toward reflection, unity, and ultimately, toward Him. Could Covid-19 have been one of those markers, nudging us to pause and reconsider the path we’re on?
Could Covid-19 Be a Spiritual Signpost?
I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But I suggested once that perhaps we too can create signposts for God—markers of faith, unity, and attention that invite Him to act on our behalf.
If we agree there is a Creator, then surely He is the Alpha and Omega, the One beyond all comprehension. Such a God must be just, good, and concerned with our well-being. After all, as scripture reminds us: “Which man would give his son a stone if he asked for bread?”
But here’s the dilemma: with billions of people on earth today, how can one God answer conflicting prayers all at once? One person prays for rain, another for sunshine. One prays for success in business, another unknowingly prays for the competitor’s downfall.
The Power of United Wishes
Perhaps the answer lies in unity. When humanity aligns in desire, results come quickly. During Covid-19, almost everyone wished for the pandemic to end. Yes, some hoped to be the first to discover the vaccine or profit from the solution—but the shared wish was the same: “Let this virus go away.”
And eventually, that wish was granted. Not instantly, not without suffering—but through science, perseverance, and a strange kind of collective alignment.
Imagine if we applied this same principle elsewhere. What if humanity united—not just against a virus—but against climate change, corruption, or even spiritual confusion? What if, instead of endless division, we united to ask one big question: Who is the true Creator, and how can we walk in His way?
Unity of wishes could change the world. Divided, we mumble countless conflicting prayers. But united, our voices form a chorus too powerful to be ignored.
A Missed Lesson
Sadly, most people will miss the spiritual lesson of Covid-19. We will go back to business as usual, forgetting that when united, humanity can overcome almost anything.
But the question remains: will we wait for the next crisis to find unity again? Or will we learn to seek the True God together before the next storm arrives?
Because maybe Covid-19 was not just a passing cloud. Maybe it was a gentle warning—a reminder that humanity has the power to align, to pray, and to change its destiny.
