Rising Food Prices: A Taste of What's To Come

"I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, 'A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages...'" Revelation 6:5b-6b

Rising food prices. Yet another sign of the end times prophesied in the Bible. The timing of this passage would suggest this event takes place during the Tribulation.

It's interesting to note that this Bible passage mentions wheat specifically, especially in light of recent news of the rising price of wheat. In an effort to create more biofuel, price of corn is up and the supply is low, therefore leaving less to feed our livestock. Now there is a run on rice worldwide, even here in the United States where Costco and Sam's Club are limiting how much they sell to each customer. And in Japan, butter has become a luxury item.

It might be a good idea to start growning your own food.

Keep watch, my brethren. Be vigilant.

I would have to agree on this one. My only question is why as people would we put the food that goes into our mouths into our gas tanks? 100 yrs ago or so they survived without cars and heated their homes differently, if there is a crisis would it be possible to go back to that or is our population to over bearing?
