Rainy days and stormy weather of the last month set to cost insurers £500 million

‎

Daily Mail – 18 July 2012

Insurers will pay £500million to those affected by floods and storms last month. The news comes ahead of more rain today. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2175656/UK-weather-Rainy-days-stormy-weather-month-set-cost-insurers-500-million.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

And of course, in 2012, weather problems, including drought, floods, and heat have affected other parts of the world as well (see, for example, Drought Reducing Wheat Yields in US, Australia, Russia, and Ukraine, Quarter Million Affected by Flooding in Japan, Food Inflation in Indonesia and USA, and Weather Extremes in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK).

Droughts and weather problems contribute to food shortages, higher food prices, and sometimes famines. Food inflation seems to be occurring (see Corn Prices Rise 33%, More Food Problems Ahead).

Notice two additional reports related to grain production and prices:

Drought spreads, boosts corn to record price

Reuters – July 19, 2012

The worst drought in a half century will continue to plague most of the U.S. Midwest crop region for at least the next 10 days, with only occasional showers providing some relief mainly in the east, an agricultural meteorologist said on Thursday.

America’s top two corn and soybean producing states, Iowa and Illinois, are now in the center of the drought as the dryness spreads to the northwest to leech what little moisture remains in already parched soils…”It got up to 102 to 103 degrees Fahrenheit in Iowa yesterday with no rain, and will be in the 90s today with no rain,” Nicholls said. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/19/us-usa-drought-crops-idUSBRE86H0MP20120719

Australian wheat yields threatened by cold weather

Reuters – July 13, 2012

Cold weather across Australia’s two largest wheat growing states has slowed crop growth, officials said, threatening yields in the world’s fourth-largest exporter and adding to concerns about the risk of dry weather later in the year if El Nino returns. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/13/australia-wheat-weather-idUSL3E8ID1NL20120713

The Bible is tells of a time that there will be food shortages and much more serious food inflation:

5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” (Revelation 6:5-6)

Back in 2009, my book, 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect mentioned the following was about to happen:

Odd weather patterns result in food shortages and natural disasters. Matthew 24:7

The world is actually in a berserk transition, as the real age of peace is not yet here. It may be a period of chaos. It is the beginning of sorrows Matthew 24:8…

Notice that John Ogwyn also wrote:…

The English-speaking nations…in..fact, they will ultimately be overpowered and destroyed…militarily. Prior to military attack and occupation, devastating weather problems, combined with internal civil strife (“tumults in the midst” cf. Amos 3:9) will bring our nations to the point of internal collapse.

Droughts and severe weather problems should serve as a wake-up call. Weather-related troubles with their related food issues, of course, have been biblically expected:

7…And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:7-8).

8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)

The Anglo-descended nations (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) insistence on pursuing legalizing various forms of immorality is going to catch up with it. The drought is only a part of that. It is not only them that will be affected, but they who have been getting many of the blessings given to Jacob will experience the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7). The severe weather should serve as a wake-up call to those nations who once claimed to base their beliefs and morality upon the Bible.
