There is much talk as of late about rising food prices. We even featured a story a few days ago here on Presenttruth.com. The interest was so great that we decided to post another article that goes further in depth. As we are witnessing all of the revolting going on in the middle east and northern Africa, we see countries with soaring food prices that are drastically throwing their way of life into a tail spin.
God told us this time would come long ago. In Matthew 24, we are told that famines would be a sign of the end. I wonder though if this is different than previous times.
I went and began looking for historical evidence of past uprisings and ‘Revolutions’ and I found something most fascinating. Many wonder if there are ‘ingredients’ to revolution and I believe there are. We may be on the verge of Revolution even in the United States.
Here is some words to consider:
History always repeats: The reasons for the French Revolution: Rising Food costs, failed harvests due to eradicate weather patterns, too much money invested in foreign wars which increased national debt, and a looming financial crisis…This sounds all too familiar with the United States does it not?
So we can see throughout the world rising food prices. I just finished a book entited ‘World on the Edge’ by Lester R. Brown and it showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that the greatest crisis that we face is not ‘peak oil’ but peak water. The world is running out of water and this is causing major food shortages around the globe. He made the statement that we are ‘one failed harvest away from global chaos’.
We should not be surprised as we were told this would take place. Here are the words foretelling this many years ago:
While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce [BEGIN P.590] tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast. “The earth mourneth and fadeth away,” “the haughty people . . . do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” Isaiah 24:4, 5. {GC 589.3}
May I suggest that not only is Satan sweeping away the literal harvests of the earth but also the many souls that should have heard a warning message long before now that may never hear it.
Also:
Again and again the Lord has instructed that our people are to take their families away from the cities, into the country, where they can raise their own provisions; for in the future the problem of buying and selling will be a very serious one. We should now begin to heed the instruction given us over and over again: Get out of the cities into rural districts, where the houses are not crowded closely together, and where you will be free from the interference of enemies.—Letter 5, 1904. – {CL 9.5}
We are told a time of famine is coming on the earth and the question is are we prepared for this time? We should be so that we can be ministers to others in need rather than in need of ministering to.
