( BI ) – The millions of Americans who have lost their jobs in recent weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic will have devastating effects on the economy going forward as workers are left without pay .
Losses in April alone could push the unemployment rate to 16 % , according to James Knightley , the chief international economist at ING .
If another 10 million Americans file jobless claims in May , that would push the unemployment rate to 22 % , he said .
“ Thankfully this is below the 24.9 % peak experienced in 1933 , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Americans aged 18-65 are not classified as employed or unemployed – they are students , early retirement , homemakers , carers or sick , ” Knightly wrote in a Thursday note .

Is the Antichrist About to Be Revealed?

( OPINION ) Michael Brown – I recently wrote that practical obedience to God today is far more important than speculation about the mark of the beast tomorrow .
I have also made clear that I do not believe that COVID-19 is one of the plagues from the book of Revelation .
At the same time , a number of recent developments help illustrate how quickly a false Messianic figure could emerge on the earth , in both religious and secular circles .
Prepare to read some shocking quotes .
But first , let me set the stage .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe that a potential COVID-19 vaccine , replete with microchip , is the mark of the beast .
And I do not believe that the virus is part of a larger , nefarious plot hatched by a clandestine one-world government cabal .
( For more on all this , see my new book . )
Yet the events surrounding the coronavirus have demonstrated how quickly the status quo can be overturned , how dramatically the fortunes of nations can shift and how a call for one-world cooperation can arise .
And what if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accompanied by plague and famine ?
Is it too farfetched to imagine that a powerful , problem-solving leader could gain an international following ?
To say it again , I do not believe we are at that point .
But I do believe that , in front of our eyes , we ’ re seeing how quickly the table can be set , even from an entirely secular point of view .
All the more does this become feasible when we add in religious beliefs .
Jesus famously warned His disciples , saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leads you astray !
For many will come in My name , saying , ‘ I am the Messiah , ’ and will lead many astray ” ( Matt .

He also warned , “ Many false prophets will arise and lead many astray ” ( Matt .

According to Express , A Professor Tom Meyer , a Bible expert better known as “ The Bible Memory Man ” , says the Antichrist will rise from a revived Roman Empire .

“ From this power structure a ‘ little horn ’ or mysterious and otherwise unknown politician of tremendous strength will rise to power and with lightning speed begin his military takeover of the world.

“ His assassination also marks the halfway point of the seven-year Tribulation which culminates with the Second Coming of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Scripture , the Antichrist ’ s pseudo-Prophet will breathe life into the wounded and lifeless body of the Antichrist and raise him from the dead in Jerusalem .
