What About Health?
A world without disease is seen by most of us as impossible, a dream that can never be fulfilled, and man with all his medical knowledge and research over centuries of time has only helped to prove the truthfulness of this sad fact!
Jeremiah chapter 10 verse 23:- 23 I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.
Cancer.
There is a difference between "Cure" and "Remission, a cure means that the disease has gone and will not return, remission means that the disease appears to be gone but could return. 99% of Cancers are said to be in remission, the "Cure" word is rarely used!
Childhood disease. Measles, Mumps and Rubella.
Vaccinations have been somewhat successful in controlling these illnesses, but again there is no cure, and in countries where the vaccines are not available because the populations are mainly very poor these illnesses thrive!
Alzheimer's and Dementia.
No cure in sight, and common among older people, and almost always in time leads to death. Then there's the Return of a supposedly cured disease. Polio? The disease is highly contagious and is transmitted from person to person by droplets or aerosols from the throat, or through faecal contamination of hands, utensils, food and water. Factors contributing to transmission include high population density, poor health service infrastructure, poor sanitation, high incidence of diarrhoeal diseases, low vaccine coverage. The Disease is still prevalent in some parts of the world and has not as some people believe been wiped out!
Ebola, Marburg, Bubonic Plague. Rabies.
If a sufferer of Bubonic plague is caught in the early stages, there are drugs that can save their lives, but the others mentioned here are almost always fatal. There is still no real cure. Rabies is also always fatal if the virus reaches the brain of the sufferer! And what about Corona virus, Long Covid, Flu, Common Cold, meningitis. The probability is that these diseases will never be cured only controlled via vaccine.
Serious Mental Illness are rising in this world today, and Illnesses of the mind are never cured, but some people with the right medication and psychiatric treatment can learn to live with the problems, again there is no real cure. The truth is we are fast losing the war against illness and many diseases today that were controlled with antibiotics are now forming a resistance to these drugs and as a consequence are becoming even harder to treat with no cure in sight!
Mad cow disease is a progressive, fatal neurological disorder of cattle resulting from infection by a prion. It appears to be caused by contaminated cattle feed that contains the prion agent. In 2000, a government enquiry concluded that the prion was spread through cattle that were fed meat-and-bone mix containing traces of infected brains or spinal cords.
Arthritis and Parkinson's. Two of the most crippling and painful illnesses in the world today that have been around for centuries possibly thousands of years, and there is still no cure in sight?
Man Made Death!
We all know what smoking does to the body, governments are responsible for smoking deaths caused by lung cancer just as much as the companies that make the cigarettes. These so called coffin nails should have been banned half a century ago, the protection of wealth not peoples lives rules the world!
The Final Enemy - Old Age.
Not really a disease, but it is the only condition that is 100% fatal that everyone will suffer the effects of without exception! Death comes to all of us!
The Only Solution.
We need to look elsewhere to find the real cure to disease, the lasting permanent solution to mankind's many sicknesses, and I include Death among them! It is not through lack of trying that doctors and scientists have failed to cure 99% of illnesses, and while the facts show that some individual people with deadly virus and bacterial diseases have recovered, it is also true that many more have died with the very same illnesses time after time! Man cannot succeed, but there is one who not only can succeed, but promises that ALL illness will be removed and even death will be no more:
Revelation chapter 21 verses 3 and 4:- 3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
That time of perfect health for everyone who is faithful to Jehovah is fast approaching!
Will you be there to share that blessing?
