War against COVID-19 – Part 4

In this global war that we are all fighting, there are key areas we should be careful about; and they are the axe and the roots of the tree.

The Axe
What is the allusion of axe in the Bible? They are God’s battle-axe and the weapons of God’s warfare. God uses them to uproot, pull down and destroy the enemies of life.
Jeremiah 51:20

[20] Thou art my battle-axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms. How is the axe used?
It is used to cut down trees in such a way that the roots are cut, so that they fall down.
Matthew 3:10

[10] And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore, every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
There are a group of people that constitutes God’s battle-axe and they include; the priests (men of God), pharmacologists, doctors and nurses, among others. All these stand against the enemies of health and life. However, as they use the medical axes to kill and destroy sicknesses and COVID-19, they must not cut down the Trees of Faith and the Trees of Hope. Because these trees are ‘man’s life.’

Deuteronomy 20:19, 20
[19] When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man’s life) to employ them in the siege:
[20] Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
Note that it is only the trees, which you KNOW through reliable test as poisonous, that should be cut down.

The Roots Of The Tree
What do the roots of a tree or man represent?
The roots represent the spirit, soul and body of man. They also represent the DNA/RNA/gene and the chromosome of man. Also, note that health and life caretakers and campaigners must do their jobs as the ambassadors of God and serve in the name of God. They must proclaim faith, hope, courage and fearlessness as God’s messengers of good health and way of salvation. They must be agents that bring Good news.

Deuteronomy 20:1-4
[1] When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
[2] And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
[3] And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
[4] For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

God warns that you must not use force, coercion or cause to be compulsory the use and application of the medical vaccine axe on citizens, ‘thou shall not destroy the trees thereof by FORCING an axe on them…’
Deuteronomy 20:19
