Bible Prophecy - Famines and Pestilences

copyright Millie Plastaras 10/13/2001
Matthew 24:7b
There will be famines and pestilences in various places.

There are many reasons why in the last days we will
see famines all over the world. This will also upset
the balance of nature causing great pestilences in
various places.

Jack Van Impe, a leading authority on Bible prophecy says
" Warfare from earliest times has also been a primary
contributor to the destruction of crops and animals,
and subsequent blockades and attacks on cities and
ports have been responsible for countless famines".

In our generation we are facing famine and drought
in many countries all over the world now. There
are many countries that are very poor, and unable
to sustain themselves with food supplies.
Many portions of Africa, India, and southeast
Asia are suffering from hunger.
Because of the massive weather changes all over
the world, land that was once fertile is now
dry and turned into a wasteland from lack of rain.
Tropical rain forests which supply most of our oxygen
and water supply are substantially shrinking each year.
Many lands have been destroyed by great floods,
which washed away valuable top soil.

Everyday the world adds more than 225,000 people
to its roster. Most of these added in 3rd world countries
where the food supply is at the worst.
The increasing population, and the decreasing
food supply is a prescription for disaster.

Jesus said that in the last days one of the greatest signs
of his return would be pestilences upon the earth.
These diseases will wipe out 1/4 of the worlds population
during the tribulation.

In our generation alone over 20 new infectious
diseases for which there is no cure or treatment have
come into being. Even though we have antibiotics,
now because of overuse of them, we have superbugs
for which there is no cure.
Although this situation along with germ warfare
becoming a greater threat in our generation
it is nothing compared to the destruction it will
reap during the tribulation.

One of the greatest weapons of evil people is
the control of food. If they can control the
world's food supply, they can control the world.
When the antichrist finally appears on
the picture, he will say he can solve this problem,
but at a great price.
He will be given the power by satan to solve
many problems, at the cost of many lives,
and he will deceive many.

If we allowed these thoughts, they could consume us.
But we have to recognize this is all part of God's plan
and we must never fear..... because it means
we are going home sooner.

Plead the blood of Jesus over your house daily,
and God's protection over you and your family.
God bless America. Pray for our government,
our leaders, whether you agree with them or not,
it is our duty as a Christian to cover them in prayer.

Prepare for what is ahead… God will be with you
through it all. He will not leave you or forsake you.

We will soon be going to see the king!

Do not be afraid :)

remember
Only one life
will soon be past
Only what is done
For Christ will last
