I'm wondering if any of ya'll think that the global swine flu pandemic could be part of the end time prophecy about pestilence as recorded in Matthew chapter 24 and other books of the Bible? Please back up your answers with relevant Bible verses or other material.
Pestilences are included in the Prophecy, though seemingly Abominable, these are people induced sicknesses that spread to populations and peoples, for example Cortez and also, possibly, the troops malaria of Napolean's on Islands south of the American Republique.

Seeing how the black plague (or black death) killed as much as 60% of Europe's population in the 14th century, the H1N1 virus and even AIDS are a very long way from reaching a state of pestilence of biblical proportions.
It is estimated that anywhere from 50 to 100 million people were killed worldwide by the flu pandemic of 1918-1920. Had I lived then, that might have made me wonder if the the end was near. But nothing currently going on.

This is basically what I was going to say.
Swine flu is small fries compared to the great war flu and black plague or aids.
Of course it could still mutate and become a major killer but any pestilence could arrive out of nowhere and wipe most of us out at any time.
You should treat times as though they were the ends times any how. Times have been ending since Jesus arrived!

I believe that it is a prophecy fulfilling because it has even killed some people and the bible said that pestilences will come to kill.

The flu has killed hundreds of thousands of people worldwide every year since the beginning of recorded history -- sometimes more, sometimes less. I doubt you can glean anything prophetic about an influenza outbreak just because it's killed some people -- it always does that.
