What or who caused it?
When trying to understand the universe or world, one must begin with the premise that God created all things "good" and to His divine concept. At the end of each of the six days of earth's re-creation God declared his work "good" and the entirety as "very good".
"And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." Gen.1:31.
But though He created all things "very good", and with distinct purpose, He decreed it to be under the "dominion" and therefore the stewardship responsibility of humanity.
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over ... every creeping thing...." Gen.1:26
So we all have, not only "image and likeness" assets of our Creator, but freedom to use that knowledge, power and presence or abuse it. So humanity had free will volition of "dominion" to do good or bad things in and to this earth. But with that freedom of dominion, man has responsibility for it which will be called into account by the Creator.
I do not believe that things like Coronavirus, AIDS, Flu, and Venereal Disease would ever have existed but for the sinful actions, of those who have been given "dominion" upon this earth. The animals did not do it on their own. The plants didn't do it. And I do not believe God did it. But Satan, working through free will people did it.
Men, like those Communist scientists at the Experimental Lab in Wuhan, China, tampering with nature and nature's animals. could very well have created Coronavirus and accidentally released it. For that we cannot blame the bats in their Wuhan Lab or the wild animals in their Wuhan Wet Market.
Though Satan, by his use of people, created this plague, God can and will use it for his own purposes.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
Rom.8:28.
So look for the "good" which God will squeeze out of this deadly pandemic. Every Christian trial is a divine appointment. Listen ...
