FAMINE IS THE BLACK HORSE

This is an article in the Observer about Hedge Fund investment in farmland:

Here's one of the comments from the article:

Well, folks, I have "boots on the ground" here in Ohio's farm country. As a writer/editor and someone who has delved deeply into the politics/business of food, and the rise of Local Food and "Real Food," I can tell you that Actual Farmer and the writer of this piece have absolutely nailed key bits of the truth -- while the rest of the nation sleeps.

I, too, am an actual farmer, and have lots of "street cred" on food-based issues.Fact: Approximately five very, very large companies control U.S. Agriculture AND most of our food supply. (As a primer, watch or buy the film, "Food Inc.")Fact: The long-term record of GMO food (do your homework) is as yet unknown -- and precisely why the Europeans have very wisely, and publicly, avoided it.Fact: Most of the food you buy in the grocery store is pure garbage. The processed stuff is chemically enhanced slop; the meats and dairy bear little resemblance to actual meat and dairy products, and the veggies are grown in soil that is so burned out that they only way they can get a harvest is to essentially use soil as a medium in which to bathe the plants in chemicals. What you eat today is manufactured food. What happens when the manufacturing machine goes bust?I could go on, and on and on. There is SO much at play here, it is impossible to even begin to address the issues.Bottom line: Grow/raise your own food. Now. Every war we've ever fought will pale in comparison to the horrors that will be visited upon us when the dollar crashes, our food production/delivery cycle implodes and the grocery shelves go bare.I am not a liberal, tree-hugger or anything of the like. I am a Conservative, and a capitalist and I am here to tell you that this is and/or will be the biggest issue of our time, probably sooner rather than later.

EDUCATE YOURSELF. THIS IS REAL.

Here's another tale of world-wide food production woes I found on Globaldisasterwatch.com:

And this is what Revelation 6 says about the coming famine:

I looked up and saw a black horse, and its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice from among the four living beings say, “A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley will cost a day’s pay. And don’t waste the olive oil and wine.”

Famine is coming. Where and when it will hit is anyone's guess. But those who trust the Lord have this promise from Job and David:

Once I was young, and now I am old.

Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned

or their children begging for bread.

From six disasters he will rescue you;

even in the seventh, he will keep you from evil.

He will save you from death in time of famine,

from the power of the sword in time of war.

You will be safe from slander

and have no fear when destruction comes.

You will laugh at destruction and famine;

wild animals will not terrify you.

And so Jesus will protect His children while starvation stalks the land. Maybe we will eat manna. You like honey bread?
