3332
It's been 3332 years since Yetziat Mitzrayim.
There are 5 pesukim with that gematria (thanks to sodtorah):
1) Bereishit 12:16:
2) Bereishit 28:1:
3) Shofetim 21:8:
4) Yoel 1:2:
5) Kohelet 3:6:
#1 is the verse that shows the מעשה אבות סימן לבנים (the actions of the forefathers is a sign for their descendants) whereby since Avraham received a great monetary reward from Pharaoh, later generations during the Exodus were to also receive a great monetary reward from Egypt upon leaving. In turn, the righteous will receive a great monetary reward when Mashiah comes.
#2 is Yitzhak Avinu's blessing to Yaakov Avinu. Perhaps, we can say that we only receive the blessing of being redeemed when we don't intermarry and assimilate with the nations.
#3 occurred during a difficult period in Jewish history: Pilegesh Begiv'ah. Perhaps, it's telling us that just as no one from Yavesh Gil'ad came, similarly, nowadays, no one can come to Hashem and to the Kahal of the synagogue or any other gathering during the coronavirus plague.
#4 was Yo'el talking about a different plague of locusts. Has there ever been such a plague in your lifetimes or fathers' lifetimes? Indeed there has not.
#5 is perhaps telling us that there are times for everything. There are times to come to the synagogue and seek Hashem. There are other times where we must abandon that thought (like nowadays). There are times where we must guard our customs of going to synagogue and keeping the schools and Yeshivot open. There are other times where we must throw that idea away (like nowadays).
Here's a partial list of other partial pesukim from Tanach with the gematria of 3332 along with my commentary:
We have to take care of our health at this time like never before. This is because we have not yet seen any picture of the cure for coronavirus that has seen the light of day (i.e. accepted by a broad medical consensus).
Devarim 4:32:
See verse #4 above.
Devarim 28: 45:
Ad Velo Ad Bichlal. May we learn our lesson and keep the Torah.
Melachim Alef 8:65:
Instead of a 14-day celebration like King Solomon had, many now have to be in isolation for 14 days within our מיצרים while celebrating 7 days of Pesah (in Israel).
Yeshaya 52:1:
Now that there are no public prayers on Har Habayit for the first time, it is a time of purity and an opportunity exists for the 3rd Beit Hamikdash to descend.
Yeshaya 61:3:
The main coronavirus restrictions occurred during Parashat Parah. We received the coronavirus (Pe'er = corona) instead of the ashes of the Parah Aduma. May our mourning cease and may we be joyous again.
Yirmiya 3:14:
We need to do Teshuva quickly before Hashem takes more of us.
Zecharia 12:10:
There have לא עלינו been many great rabbis and other great people taken from us from this virus. Each one could be considered as great as MBY. But there were actually very few people physically present at the funerals of these great people. Mere יחידים for יחידי סגולה.
Zecharia 14:4:
May the great earthquake come soon.
Esther 4:3:
The Jewish people are in mourning right now, just like during the time of Esther. Just as the beginning of the salvation at that time occurred over Pesah, may the beginning of our salvation occur over Pesah.
Divrei Hayamim Bet 18:16:
We have lost so many great leaders. We are like sheep without a shepherd. We need Mashiah.
Divrei Hayamim Bet 32:9:
Sanheriv fighting against Yerushalayim was supposed to be Gog Umagog and King Hizkiya was supposed to be Mashiah. Just as Hashem made a giant miracle by defeating Sanheriv and his 185,000 officers along with their men on the Seder night, Hashem should also defeat the coronavirus and bring us our Final Redemption on this Leil Shimurim. Amen.

TRANSLATE THE HEBREW PSUKIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You blew it.
Anonymous, I considered that, but the post was long enough as it is. If I would have added translation, it would have been too long.
Anyone who wants to see the translation can find resources on the web for the translation of these Pesukim as I provided the chapter and verse.
And I don't appreciate your tone. I am open to criticism, but I would appreciate respectful criticism - not statements in all caps or phrases like "You blew it."
Thank you.

Some additions on my part:
Paragraph 3 saw a huge parallel with the dishonor that Rabbi Eliezer Berland and no one protested against. We are suffering for that very reason.
About Yeshaya 52: 1:
It reminded me of your post from days ago about this. It would be interesting that someone who lives in Har Habayit film all night, it could be that something fantastic happens in the Heavens, "maybe a UFO", it would be interesting.
Zechariah 12:10:
I just noticed a parallel here with a post I saw on the Shirat Devorah Blog. All of these rabbis who died are anointed, working and giving their lives for Judaism abroad.
well I think its great, thank you. I'll take the 3 week option but 3 months is do-able if that's what it takes.
what does he mean ''annointed''? They were Gedolim ?
Great work YY, thank you. You are very much appreciated by those who understand.
Wishing you and your family a Chag Aviv Kasher V'Bruit
I was think that myself this morning, perhaps the Rabbis that passed and now in Shamayim are working for us, to help those who are left behind. They continue their holy work.
Rabbi Yehuda Leib 'Leibel' Groner, secretary of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, dies of coronavirus.
NOW I know that these Rabbis are working for us in Shamayim. Rabbi Groner zt”l was a tireless fighter for humanity.
Very interesting. Thanks!
חג כשר ושמח! ויהיה לנו סוף וקץ לגלותנו!
A Kosher and Happy Passover to us all. And may we have the end of our exile!
Ah, meilitz yosher. I never thought of that Neshama. Makes for good thought...
May we see Moshiach speedily and soon!!
Chag kosher v'sameach!!!
