There is one thing you can say about every single Church of God prophet over the last 80 some years and that is all of them do not know what they hell they are talking about. Biblical prophets make definitive statements while COG prophets hem and haw with endless maybes, could be, might happen, possibly, and many more noncommittal belches of hot air. It is now 2020 and every single "prophecy" these guys have speculated about has been a lie.
Never fear though, today's group of liars are still spouting nonsense. Take a load of the self-appointed false prophet, Bob Thiel.
Jesus told of a time called the beginning of sorrow (Matthew 24:4-8).
So, yes, COVID restrictions or not, 2021 could be as bad or worse than 2021. However, since there will be ups and downs before the start of the Great Tribulation, we will see.
Some of what we are seeing, however, is a prelude of the totalitarian governmental controls that will be in place during the time of the Great Tribulation.
Bob Thiel's garbage is just a sick as Dave Pack's and Gerald Flurry's lies.
