I recently experienced a breakthrough in the way I understand world news.

I believe I see the world

more clearly today than I did even just a few weeks ago, and in my Trumpet Brief today, I’d like to
share how this happened.

This expansion in thinking came while studying a recent message from Trumpet editor in chief
Gerald Flurry. This message is now in article form and is available for you to study. “America Has
Been ‘Fundamentally Transformed’” explains an astonishing Bible prophecy that helps us see
through the thick, confusing fog of world events.

Mr. Flurry’s article revolves around a prophecy explained in 2 Kings 14, Amos 7 and Daniel 8. To
understand it, we must first understand two principles of biblical prophecy. The first is the principle
of duality. Many of the events and trends that occurred in ancient Israel and Judah were prototypes
of what would happen to the descendants of these peoples in the “latter days.”

If things go on like this, we will all be doomed,” said a woman identifying herself as Xiaoxi, in an
interview over the weekend with the South China Morning Post. “[P]eople just keep dying; no one is
taking care of the bodies.”

Xiaoxi’s husband is among the 7,600 people across China who are confirmed to be infected by a new
pneumonia-like illness called the 2019-nCoV, or Wuhan Coronavirus. The illness is named after the
central Chinese city of Wuhan where it originated and after the halo- or corona-like shape of the
microorganism.

Experts say Wuhan is milder than other illnesses in the coronavirus family, such as severe acute
respiratory syndrome (sars) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (mers). But it is still deadly
dangerous: As of Thursday morning, the official number of dead as a result of the virus stood at 170.
And authorities expect the numbers of infected and dead to continue to mushroom.
