This book even cites the city of Wuhan!
It is said that truth is stranger than fiction, but in this case I think that it goes both ways!
From foxnews.com
Author Dean Koontz eerily predicted the coronavirus outbreak in his 1981 thriller “The Eyes of Darkness.”
The fictional novel tells the story of a Chinese military lab that creates a new virus to potentially use as a biological weapon during wartime. The lab is ironically located in Wuhan, China and the made-up virus is called Wuhan-400.
The coincidence between the book’s virus and the actual coronavirus outbreak is uncanny.
Currently, the coronavirus which originated in Wuhan, China is causing panic throughout the world. On Thursday, officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that an American evacuee from Wuhan who is currently in Texas was diagnosed with the virus, making it the 15th case in the United States.
CDC officials told Fox News that there will “likely be additional cases in the coming days and weeks, including among other people recently returned from Wuhan.” Though the first 195 evacuees were released on Tuesday, “more than 600 people who returned on chartered flights from Wuhan remain under federal quarantine and are being closely monitored to contain the spread of the virus,” officials added.
Americans were evacuated from China on two chartered flights which brought them to Texas and Nebraska. Some 250 passengers were reportedly on the flight to Texas while an estimated 70 passengers were on the one to Nebraska.
The case also marks the first in Texas. The 14 other cases have been reported across the country, the first of which occurred in a Washington state man who has since been released from the hospital. Other cases have been confirmed in California, Wisconsin, Arizona, Massachusetts and Illinois. No deaths have been reported in the U.S., and the large majority of cases still remain in China.
Overall, more than 50,000 people have been sickened globally from the coronavirus while 1,370 have died. source
We were told by our Lord that many things would happen in these last days:
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
” All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:3-14).
Keep your eyes on Jesus and continue to pray!
Shalom b’Yeshua
MARANATHA!!

All of what is happening, not just daily, but hourly, is absolutely amazing! We were chosen for such a time as this! What caught my attention about this post was your reference to a “ novel” Did you notice Geri, that when first reported this was called the “ novel Coronavirus !!” In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God! Man’s ungodly words are a trap from the pit! No matter where we are, or what happens, all I pray is that the Living Word, that is spirit and life, dwells within us!!! If God is for us, who can be against us! I have a favourite website called Topical Bible. It has all words in the Bible listed alphabetically. Today I was led to look up “stand!!” Oh my…so powerful!! So we STAND, we Watch, and we Wait!! Hallelujah Jesus is coming soon! Love you sister in Christ 💕
Yes, I did notice that!
That is quite a coincidence, huh? 😉
Wow, that’s something! I wonder if the book will get a popularity boost. Also wonder, how does the story end?
P.S. I think China is concealing the extent of this virus.
I think you are right. I don’t know how the books ends……….
Excellent.
Amazing!
Wow
The passage you quoted is a tribulation era passage. But, we must always keep our eyes on Jesus nevertheless. And instant in season and out of season preach the gospel unwaveringly.
Even so… Maranatha!!
