COVID-19: Not "Wuhan Flu" or "Kung Flu," but it's The #AmericanPlague, bringing up a #WordByWord #BibleStudy (of #Revelation21Five-thru-Eight) | @prayerDotOrg

'That word' (below-hyperlinked to a discussion of how it has become The American Plague) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The word “Plague” #Plaguey #Plagued #Plaguing# is built on ancient words that mean "to Stroke, |Wound (possibly to Lament (by Striking the |Breast))" (a |Pestilence, Epidemic that causes many Deaths (originally referring to the |Bubonic Plague), to Infect with Disease or Natural |Calamity (or |Vex, |Bother, Harass, Annoy)).

I am wanting to look-up the Scripture that my contact (a Facebook-connection mentioned at the link above) is misinterpreting "cowards will burn in the lake of fire":

Revelation 21 (Berean Study Bible): 

5 And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.” 6 And He told me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life. 7 The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son. 

8 But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

But my contact was accusing 'people who were following orders set by city-officials' of being "cowards." I think the 'cowards' The One was talking-about were 'those who bow to false idols out of fear of spiritual curses' (not 'people who want others (who could possibly be carrying a virus) to limit their exhalations' spread').
