No one ever wants to hear,
"I told you so."
So I shouldn't say it.
But I did and I will.
In two previous
Tomorrow's World telecasts,
I told you what would happen
if we, the human race,
failed to follow
laws written 3500 years ago.
Some see Covid-19
as a wake-up call,
that maybe we are not
pleasing our Creator.
One thing we know for sure:
Our world will never
be the same.
This crisis is evolving
so rapidly that
it is impossible to predict
where we will be next week,
much less a year from now.
But I can give you information,
as I have done in the past,
that is far more sure and timely
than your latest newscast.
Contrary to the opinions
of many theologians,
the Bible shows why
this is happening
and gives the solution,
so that there is no excuse
when it happens again.
You'll never hear
what I'm about to give you
from the mainstream media.
COVID-19 did not have to happen.
Our lives did not have
to be disrupted.
People did not have to die.
Businesses did not have to fail.
Economies did not
have to descend
into recessions and worse.
Governments did not
have to fall.
All this
could have been prevented,
and I told you so
in a 2011 Tomorrow's World
telecast - "Lessons from SARS",
and in a 2014
Tomorrow's World program -
"Ebola Can Be Prevented".
So join me today as I explain
the causes of these scourges
and reveal the only true
solution to pandemics.
♪
Welcome to Tomorrow's World,
where I'm going to explain
an absolute truth
that few others
have the courage to give.
COVID-19 was
entirely preventable.
It did not have to happen.
I explained this publicly
regarding SARS, Ebola
and numerous other diseases
in 2011 and 2014.
Don't believe me
just because I say this.
Check it out for yourself.
It's all a matter of record
found in two
Tomorrow's World telecasts:
"Lessons from SARS",
and "Ebola Can Be Prevented."
Both programs
were recorded in Canada
and later re-recorded
in the United States.
You can look them up
on our website
at TomorrowsWorld.org.
Or better yet,
I'll send you a copy
of these two programs,
along with this program
on a DVD.
Sadly, the very people
who should be teaching mankind
these things have been negligent
in doing so.
Worse yet,
those professing Christian
ministers reject
the very knowledge
that would save mankind
from all this heartache
and suffering.
They've chosen
to dismiss this knowledge,
spelled out in the very book
they claim to represent.
COVID-19 did not arise
out of thin air.
It had a cause.
There is more than one theory
as to how it began,
and the exact details may not
be known at this time,
and may never be known.
Many believe
it accidentally escaped from
a biohazard lab in Wuhan, China
where the coronavirus was found
in horseshoe bats
that were being studied.
Others think that it came from
a nearby "wet market"
where exotic animals
are sold for food.
This is the official view
coming from China
at the time of this recording,
but since some people
are asymptomatic,
the first person exposed
to the virus may never be known.
He or she may not work
for the bio-lab
and may never have visited
the wet market.
But whether from the
biohazard lab,
or the "wet market,"
all trails lead back
to the horseshoe bat,
or some intermediary animal
that got it from the bat,
such as the suspected pangolin.
Scientists believe SARS,
which emerged in 2002,
originated in a wet market
in or near Hong Kong.
Bats are used
in traditional Chinese medicine
as well as gourmet food
in that part of the world.
SARS, MERS, Nipah Fever,
and Ebola are all traced
back to bats,
though human infection
comes from an intermediary.
Scientists know exactly
where to look when a new
pathogen attacks humanity,
the meat market.
That is where they traced SARS
They first thought it
originated from a Civet Cat,
a creature that is considered
a delicacy among the Chinese
that is until SARS,
at which time thousands
of these animals were killed
and are no longer sold legally
in China.
While there are various
speculations about the
exact route to humans,
the Encyclopedia Britannica
on the subject
gives this explanation:
The connection between bats
and deadly viruses
is clearly known,
and SARS is not the only one.
While the mortality rate
for SARS is scary (10%),
the death rate from
Middle East Respiratory
Syndrome, known as MERS,
another coronavirus,
is even scarier.
The World Health Organization
reports that MERS is between
3 and 4 times more deadly.
The World Health Organization
recognizes the MERS connection
between bats,
camels, and humans:
So far, what I've given you
may be found in many sources.
But few connect the dots
between the cause
of these pathogens
and Biblical laws.
In light of the
coronavirus ravaging the world,
we are offering you a free DVD,
"God Answers
His Covid-19 Critics."
This DVD does
connect these dots.
It contains the 2011 program,
"Lessons from SARS"
the 2014 program,
"Ebola Can Be Prevented"
along with today's program.
All three programs
connect the dots between these
dangerous pathogens
and Biblical commands,
demonstrating
why these pandemics
are totally unnecessary.
This DVD,
"God Answers
His Covid-19 Critics,"
can be yours free of charge.
Just pick up the phone
and call the number
on your screen to request
your free DVD.
And I'll be back
with new evidence
regarding the cause
of these terrifying diseases.

We take for granted
the yearly flu season.
Yet, it did not
have to be this way.
Don't get me wrong.
The flu is here
and it won't go away just yet,
but do you realize that
the causes of such scourges as
SARS, Ebola, MERS, Nipah Virus,
COVID-19, Swine Flu,
and other common flus,
are known?
And you don't have
to take my word for it.
Listen to the scientists
that study these things,
but they will not
connect the dots
that you are hearing
on this program.
Not even professing
Christian ministers
have the courage
to make the connection
between the cause
of these viruses
and the Word of God.
Let's take a closer look
at SARS, as it was
a wake-up call for some
and scientists have since
studied it extensively.
SARS is the acronym for
Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome,
and it burst onto the scene
in November 2002.
What made it so dangerous
was that it was
easily transmitted,
it did not stay local,
and it was deadly,
killing about 10%
of all who caught it.
Popular Science published
an article during the crisis
in which it stated
the following:
Did you catch that,
my friends?
Let me quote Michael Lai again:
Not only did SARS originate
in Southern China,
but according to Dr. Lai,
"most flu viruses,"
let me repeat,
"most flu viruses,"
do as well.
Consider the profound
implications of this.
The cause
of most flu viruses is known
and if you stop the cause,
you stop the flu.
The article goes on to say:
This 2003 Popular
Science magazine article
is not the only source
calling the pig
"a genetic mixing bowl."
Here is a clip
from my 2011 telecast,
"Lessons From SARS":
What scientists are learning
is how animal viruses
can be transmitted to humans
and vice versa,
and domestic pigs seem to be
excellent "mixing vessels."
Birds, which are a source
of various flu viruses,
can transmit the flu to humans,
but human to human transmission
does not normally occur.
But when a virus is transmitted
from a bird to a pig,
it can mutate in such a way
that it is now able to transmit
not only from pig to human,
but from human to human."
This entire program,
"Lessons from SARS,"
originally produced for
the Hong Kong audience
can be yours at no cost.
We even pay for the shipping.
And we will never sell your name
or personal information
to others.
We never have
and we never will.
This DVD, "God Answers
His Covid-19 Critics,"
also contains a second program,
"Ebola Can Be Prevented."
This program explains
the source of Ebola,
and why it will keep coming back
until the cause is addressed,
and people stop eating
the things God said not to.
So order your free copy today,
and I'll be back in 15 seconds
to connect the dots between
what scientists know
and what the Bible reveals.
You won't see these dots
connected in the media so
don't go away.

Today we are looking at
the causes of Covid-19
and other contagions
that can be stopped,
if we stop doing the things
that cause these afflictions.
The annual flu
may be unpleasant,
but not since 1918
have we seen a contagion
as serious as the one
we currently face.
Yet, virtually no one
is turning to the source
that gives the ultimate solution
to the problem.
All the so-called experts,
and I do not in any way
intend to denigrate
these dedicated individuals,
but no, they have failed
to give the answer.
Why?
Because they do not have
the key that reveals the way.
As I said in my 2014 program:
The plain truth is that mankind
must come to grips
with the cause of the problem
instead of reacting
to the symptoms.
The preventative solution
to the scourge of Ebola
is right education
and changed habits.
It may shock many,
but the cause
of the problem
is revealed in the Bible,
recorded some 3400 years ago.
If mankind followed
its simple instructions,
Ebola, SARS, AIDS
and many other diseases would
be no more than footnotes
in history.
These diseases
are totally preventable.
Scientists,
health care professionals,
national leaders
and philanthropic foundations
have failed miserably
in educating people
with the only true and sure
solutions to these problems."
Simply put,
the solution is found
in the Bible,
where the God of creation
revealed that some animals
are food for man,
and others are not.
Some creatures are labeled
"unclean" and they are just that
--unclean,
unfit for human consumption.
Notice this short list
of the creatures
most often associated
with these outbreaks:
Bats, Swine (pigs), Civet cats,
Camels, Primates,
such as monkeys and chimpanzees.
Note that every single one
of these creatures
is listed in the Bible
as prohibited
for man to consume.
Regarding the current crisis,
an insect eating mammal
known as a Pangolin,
is being investigated as
the intermediary
between bats and humans:
...often sold in wet markets,
[Says Professor
Andrew Cunningham of the
Zoological Society London]...
Bats show up time and again
as reservoirs for coronaviruses
such as SARS.
The horseshoe bat
is also implicated in Covid-19,
whether the virus came out
of a wet market
or a biohazard lab.
Camels, on the other hand,
seem to be the immediate
source for the coronavirus
causing MERS,
although many scientists
believe it traveled
from a bat to the camel,
and then to humans.
Fruit bats and primates
such as monkeys
and chimpanzees
are associated with
the Hemorrhagic fevers
of Ebola and Marburg.
But there is another creature
very often implicated
in these transmissions
--swine,
otherwise called hogs or pigs.
Note this BBC report
on another dangerous virus:
So how did
that transfer take place?
Bloomberg News
provides the answer:
Swine are central
to numerous flu viruses,
from the more recent
2009 swine flu epidemic
to the more famous 1918
so-called Spanish Flu.
Regarding swine flu,
Medical News Today says
the following:
The most famous pandemic
of the 20th Century
was the so-called
Spanish flu of 1918.
It claimed an estimated
50 to 100 million lives
around the world.
Considering the enormous
death toll, one must ask,
"Does having bacon
for breakfast,
or an Easter ham,
justify the horrible
agonizing deaths
of 50 to 100 million people
AND the tears of many millions
of family members?"
When we connect the dots,
whether it's bats, pigs,
civets, camels, pangolins,
or primates,
these are ALL listed
in the Bible
as unfit for human consumption
--God says not to eat them.
Now if you would like a DVD
of this program,
along with "Lessons from SARS"
and "Ebola Can Be Prevented,"
just pick up the phone
and tell us you would like
a free copy of today's DVD,
"God Answers
His Covid-19 Critics".
You may be wondering how
this is free.
And the answer is simple,
it has been paid for by members
of the Living Church of God
and coworkers
behind this work.
Just ask for today's DVD.
It's that simple.
And when I come back,
we'll connect the dots
between two more pathogens
involving Biblically
unclean animals.

Today, on Tomorrow's World,
I'm telling you something
that you won't hear
from mainstream media
or most Christian ministers.
Yes you may read
of the connection between
certain animals
and various deadly diseases,
but who's connecting the dots
between these animals
and biblical laws
that have been here
for thousands of years?
As long as
we reject that knowledge,
new pathogens WILL
continue to afflict us,
and old ones will return.
This is why Ebola continues
to come back again and again.
This is why I told you in 2014
that Ebola would return,
and it did,
causing a greater loss of life.
As I explained in,
"Ebola Can Be Prevented":
"What is known is that
fruit bats and various so
called bush meat animals
can be infected with the virus.
This is fact.
What is not known for sure
is where the Ebola virus begins,
but one particular source
is highly suspect,
and that is the fruit bat,
which is a part of the diet
of some Central
and West Africans.
Note this headline and subhead
from the journal, Nature:
The article explains
that these fruit bats
are carriers of the virus,
but they are asymptomatic,
meaning the virus is
not a problem for them.
They are in effect,
carriers of the virus
that causes Ebola.
So while it remains to be seen
whether they are
the original source,
what is clearly known is
that these fruit bats
are A source of the virus
and when handled
as a food source
they can transmit
the virus to man
and it then spreads
from person to person
by way of bodily fluids.
Since people in Central
and West Africa eat these bats,
along with "bush meats"
that are affected by the virus,
Ebola breaks out
from time to time."
The 2011 thriller, "Contagion",
is making a comeback
as many seek ways
to entertain themselves
during their lockdown
caused by this new contagion.
The movie begins
with Beth Emhoff returning
from a business trip
in Hong Kong.
She has a stopover in Chicago
before arriving at her home
and family in Minneapolis.
Two days later she collapses
and is taken to hospital
where she dies.
Her husband Mitch
returns home from hospital
only to find that his
son has died of what appears
to be the same malady.
So begins the movie,
"Contagion", which shows
the disease spreading
from one person to another
and blossoms into
a full-blown crisis
--not only with people dying,
but also with social unrest.
I saw this movie
on a long flight
returning to Toronto
from Hong Kong in 2012,
where we stayed in Kowloon,
that's just across the harbor
from Hong Kong Island.
Oh and by the way, if you happen
to watch "Contagion",
watch it all the way to the end
where it shows the beginning
of the virus.
And then, my friends,
connect the dots.
Hong Kong
and the surrounding areas
learned a lot from SARS.
Elevator buttons are sanitized
in some locations,
as often as every half hour,
but no one learned
the big lesson
--stopping the contagion
before it gets started.
The typical diet
in that part of the world
is full of exotic creatures.
Once in Guangzhou
I literally
bumped into an alligator
in a restaurant.
I saw snake wine peddled
on a river boat near Guilin.
Now, let me leave you with this
sobering message,
from the American Society
for Microbiology:
That, my friends,
was written October 2007.
But if people read the Bible
this would not be a surprise.
Write this down:
Leviticus chapter 11
and look it up in a Bible
and see what God instructed
3500 years ago.
How different
our world would be, right now,
if we only listened
to the loving God
who created us.
Be sure to come back next week
at this same time
when Richard Ames,
Wallace Smith, Rod McNair and I,
connect the dots between
the Bible and the world in which
we now live.
