Pro-wrestler Hulk Hogan suggests the Lord will end coronavirus if mankind repents. “In three short months, just like He did with the plagues of Egypt, God has taken away everything we worship,” Hogan wrote to his 1.5 million Instagram followers. The 66-year-old “Hulkster,” born Terry Gene Bollea, believes the people of Earth should use the pandemic lockdown to grapple with their faith, then succumb to a holy headlock. To make that happen, according to Hogan, the Almighty body-slammed institutions including the Dow Jones.
“God said, ‘you want to worship athletes, I will shut down the stadiums. You want to worship musicians, I will shut down Civic Centers,” Hogan wrote Monday. “You want to worship actors, I will shut down theaters. You want to worship money, I will shut down the economy and collapse the stock market.”He also implied God shut down churches to punish people who weren’t using them. “You don’t want to go to church and worship Me, I will make it where you can’t go to church,” according to Hogan.
On a video posted to GodTv.com in 2018, Hogan said he was saved by God when he was 14. He quoted 2 Chronicles 7:14 from the King James Bible on Instagram Monday to suggest the pandemic will end if mankind repents.“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land,” Hogan wrote.
The 6-foot-7 and 301-pound wrestler finished his missive by suggesting that rather than looking for a cure for the virus, which has infected nearly 1.46 million people and killed 76,506, humanity should take advantage of the pandemic-imposed quiet time.“Maybe we don’t need a vaccine,” Hogan wrote. “Maybe we need to take this time of isolation from the distractions of the world and have a personal revival where we focus on the ONLY thing in the world that really matters. Jesus.”
