DANG (12) - Biosecurity

Infectious diseases are another form of external attack, so biosecurity is a big issue for modern governments. The Bible teaches that biosecurity problems are the consequence of sin. They are the first step down a path that leads to invasion, as God sends a biological army, before he sends a human army.

The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish.

The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth. (Deut 28:22,25).

The solution to biosecurity problems is to obey God’s law. If a nation rejects God, then no biosecurity measures can protect its border from biological invasion.
