Swine Flu Pandemic

Why the hysteria over an infectious disease that has so far been no worse than the usual seasonal flu outbreaks?

A materialistic perspective comes with a fear of death... "Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." (Hebrews 2:14-15, NKJ)

This is the mainstream press simply exercising their increasing power to control people that will increase in the end times. As we get closer to the return of Christ, propaganda will get more and more powerful: "But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived." (2 Timothy 3:13, NKJ)
