• Disease

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
