Massive Food Shortages On The Way!!

                                                  
   In accordance with Biblical scripture and prophecies, it seems inevitable that massive food shortages are on the way. Inflation on most food products was up around 29% last year, fuel is ready to jump way up as well, and in just the last few days has jumped 13 cents per gallon in the area I live in!
   What else should we expect as we get further and further into the "last days"? The revolutions that took place in Tunisia and in Egypt have begun to spread to other Middle Eastern countries, and now Yemen, Algeria, Libya, Bahrain, and even Iran are seeing great unrest coming from their populations as well. These various peoples are saying that they want freedom, when it actually appears that they are most likely going to end up being controlled by Islamic extremists.
    Yes, they may actually have a democratic type of election in the near future, but if they vote in these Islamic extremists, they will only have that one election in a democratic fashion and that will be it.
    The only possible exception to that may be Iran, where they are already controlled by these Muslims of a terrorist mind-set, and the population seems to be rebelling against their rule. In fact the Iranian government has ordered these protesters executed! A far cry from what has happened so far in Egypt for example, where the military has shown great restraint allowing the demonstrators to have their say.
     These dictatorial Middle Eastern governments are all running scared. If the majority of theses revolutions are successful, the overall disruption they will bring to the area will further aggravate food and fuel shortages, especially in those areas where the day to day commerce gets disrupted, and eventually over here in the U.S., we will feel the impact. If you think that a 29% increase last year was bad wait until we see the 50% jump for the present year, which may very well be just around the corner.
    "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." Revelation 6:6.
Adjusted for inflation over a couple of thousand years means we could be paying $15.00 for a loaf of bread as well as $5--$6 dollars for a gallon of gas in the next few years!

Here We Go, Watch Out Israel!

  
                                                            
   This new year is just chock full of surprises. Now, after the fall of the government in Tunisia, Egypt is under siege, with Jordan also exhibiting extreme stress! All around the Middle East any government that has been friendly to the U.S. or Israel, seems to be under great attack and the results most likely will be that Muslim extremists will instill new forms of government that will no longer tolerate Israel or the U.S.!  Relationship with these new governments will be tenuous at best! Christians and Jews are already pretty much hated and persecuted throughout the region and will be more so now.
    Quite a few of these Muslim organizations that are vying for power want to instill Sharia Law, which treats women like property, and punishes homosexuals with the death penalty, in addition to the killing of Christians and Jews who do not renounce their faith!
    "And He said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing. Then He said unto them, But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one!" Luke 22: 35& 36.
    Adhering to the tenets of Christianity calls for us to try the way of peace FIRST! However, here Christ clearly is telling us that, if necessary, the taking of life in self defense or in defense of those that are weak and defenseless may be necessary at times. Please keep this in mind as we watch what is happening over there. We could be getting a glimpse of what will be happening in the streets of America in 20 or 30 years, if our government continues to ignore the will of the people!
    "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee." Psalm 122:6.
