TRAGEDY ON AMERICAN SOIL?

The following assessment was found on a message board and very accurately describes the current calamitous world events. Most of us here is America are totally unfazed by the Tribulation type events that are now happening to the millions of people on the opposite side of the globe.

Will it take such afflictions and tragedy on America's soil for American believers to wake up to the lateness of the hour??

 "20 MILLION HOMELESS IN PAKISTANI FLOODS-  "Look at those who are losing everything, including family members, in the flooding, earthquakes, and mudslides in Asia, and in the fires in Russia right now.  

The fires in Russia are spreading over vast areas of land, even into North China, and over areas where the Chernobyl nuclear disaster happened a few years back, the ground being full of radiation.  One third or more of Russia's wheat crop has been destroyed. The fires number in the hundreds, and they are not being put out. Russia estimates that about 700 a day are dying from the heat, the pollution, and the fires--heart attacks are up 30%, for example. 

 

The heat is incredible, the smog in the air is making breathing very difficult. The spread of the radiation from the Chernobyl by air to many areas of the world is very much a reality"

Eyes need to be opened to see that we are at the end of the age. Widespread famine and disease and economic collapse will be coming as a result of all these disasters. This is just as Jesus prophesied! It is time to take our eyes of the things of this world and prepare ourselves for eternity.

¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. ¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. ²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. ²¹ To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
²² “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’”

Global Wheat Shortage Feared

The potential for a global wheat famine continues to become more possible as the extreme weather worldwide has adversely affected global yields.  

Note that wheat is currently second to rice as the main human food crop so this scarcity could aid to the diminishing global food supply needed to feed the world's fast growing population.

Please see the previous blog entry covering this very real threat:

"Global Wheat Shortage Feared as Prices Surge'

"Severe drought, brush fires and heat waves in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan have driven wheat prices to their biggest one-month jump in more than 30 years, killing half the crop in some areas and reportedly fueling fears of global shortages."

"The slump in Russian wheat production has pushed prices up 62 percent since early June, and last month saw the biggest and fastest increase since 1959.

The rise prompted warnings from food companies that prices for flour and products that use flour will soar, The Wall Street Journal reports."

"Putin bans Russia grain exports due to drought"

 "MOSCOW– Russia, the world's third wheat exporter, Thursday banned grain exports for the next four-and-a-half months due to a record drought that has destroyed millions of hectares (acres) of its land."

Revelation 6:5-6

" And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see.  And I beheld and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine."
