This week I was reading about a pregnant woman with COVID who had an emergency C-section and then died three days later of kidney failure. They didn't say how far along in the pregnancy she was, but from the picture the baby was near term. Then today I was reading that remdesivir, used for treating COVID patients in hospitals, causes kidney failure, and I am very much wondering if that is what happened in that woman's case.
A quick web search yields mixed results on how bad remdesivir actually is for kidneys, and I don't know if she was prescribed it or not.
Also, the biggest cause of death for pregnant and postpartum women in the U.S. up through 2019 was actually homicide. I'm not sure how COVID compares, but it looks to be about the same order of magnitude.
[Edit: Homicide rate for pregnant/postpartum United States 3.62 per 100,000; 3.61 million births United States 2020; maternal COVID deaths per month in United States August 2021 was 22--a new record at that time. So 3.61 million(3.62/100,000) versus (maybe 15 COVID deaths per month average)(12 months), or about 131 versus about 180.]

As usual, I could be wrong.
I happened to read about the Gadarene swine in Mark 3 this morning before coming across this piece, which mentions it.
David Clements mentions Michael Cocchini. A quick internet search tells me that they've worked together before, and that a different Michael Cocchini--and a Susan Clements--went fatally missing in the Smoky Mountains. At separate times.
Feels like a rabbit hole.
Much like Jonathan Cahn connects the major demons of ancient Israel to today's United States, Clements says that the spirits of the Nephilim are here and active.

A couple months ago, I put a piece of paper on the fridge--our Scammer Prayer List. We were often getting multiple scam calls per day, and while probably none of them told us their real name, God stills knows who they are and where they live, and He surely has something better for them to do all day than bother people like us.
Two names went onto the list, and these scammers were duly prayed for--they still are--and suddenly the number of scam calls dropped, by a lot. The list still has only two names on it.
The Bible says that "the gates of hell" will not prevail against Christ's Church.
A boomer apologizes, albeit without much clarity.
"It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs," Jesus said; Matthew 15:26.
I recently understood that I am spending my life in rebuilding spiritual and practical foundations that had been foolishly undermined by previous generations.
