Zhihu Direct Answer:
Ge Yimin's 2019 doomsday prophecy, along with its interpretation related to the COVID-19 virus, is based on a non-traditional interpretation of biblical scriptures. He cites prophecies from the Book of Daniel and applies the principle of "a day for a year" to calculate the time span, arriving at a cycle of 2,625 years from 607 BC to 2019, which he believes marks the beginning of a new era, the arrival of the divine governance era, with himself viewed as the central figure of this transition, referred to as "God" or "Purple Star Sage."
However, this interpretation has not been recognized by mainstream religions or academia. The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, while it indeed began at the end of 2019 and rapidly developed into a global pandemic, has been widely studied for its scientific causes, proving to be a naturally evolved virus unrelated to any religious prophecy.
General Inquiry:
Ge Yimin's prophecy contains a unique interpretation of religious texts and a specific method of calculating historical dates.
The relationship between the COVID-19 virus and the prophecy: The global pandemic triggered by the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2) is indeed a significant public health crisis, but it cannot be viewed as the fulfillment of a specific religious prophecy. The emergence of the virus is a phenomenon in the fields of biology and medicine, with its origin and development revealed as a natural process by scientific research.
ChatGPT:
At the end of 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic did indeed emerge, but directly linking it to the doomsday scenario and considering it as the "fulfillment" of a prophecy reflects clear hindsight and subjective conjecture. The COVID-19 virus is a challenge in the field of public health, with no direct connection to religious prophecies or mysticism.
