(Deuteronomy 32:15-16)<\/p>\n<p>11 &#8220;Because you were glad, because you rejoiced,<br \/>\nYou destroyers of My heritage,<br \/>\nBecause you have grown fat like a heifer threshing grain,<br \/>\nAnd you bellow like bulls,<br \/>\n12 Your mother shall be deeply ashamed;<br \/>\nShe who bore you shall be ashamed.<br \/>\nBehold, the least of the nations shall be a wilderness,<br \/>\nA dry land and a desert. (Jeremiah 50:11-12)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>God inspired the prophet Isaiah to write:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread,<br \/>\nAnd your wages for what does not satisfy?<br \/>\nListen carefully to Me, and eat what is good (Isaiah 55:2).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But Canadians do not often eat what is good.\u00a0 Based upon my observations and visits there, they eat a lot of white bread, which is really not real bread as it has had the wheat germ and other natural components removed. This makes an inferior product which then is sprayed with synthetic B vitamins and other &#8220;nutrients&#8221; to &#8220;fortify&#8221; it. If you notice &#8220;B vitamins&#8221; added to &#8220;fortify&#8221; refined grain products or in so-called &#8220;natural&#8221; vitamin supplements (like thiamin mononitrate, thiamin HCL, folic acid, <span>pantothenic acid, pyridoxine hydrochloride, <\/span>cyanocobalamin), realize that these are basically petroleum derivatives and are not the same form of vitamins that are actually found in real, natural, food.<\/p>\n<p>But most this is not only a Canadian problem.\u00a0 The other Anglo-descended nations have that problem.\u00a0 And both the USA and UK have increasingly overweight populations (see <a title=\"Permanent Link to Obesity Continues to Increase in UK and USA\" href=\"\/news\/prophecy\/obesity-continues-to-increase-in-uk-and-usa\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Obesity Continues to Increase in UK and USA<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Many in the Anglo-descended lands eat too much.\u00a0 The Bible warns against this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>18 &#8220;If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and who, when they have chastened him, will not heed them, 19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city, to the gate of his city. 20 And they shall say to the elders of his city, &#8216;This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.&#8217; 21 Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall put away the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear. (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)<\/p>\n<p>20 Do not mix with winebibbers, Or with gluttonous eaters of meat; 21 For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty (Proverbs 23:20-21)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yet many in the Anglo-dominated lands simply do not believe they eat too much. And this includes many overweight ones.<\/p>\n<p>But notice that the Bible warns against eating bad foods and eating too much. And also notice that at least two curses are associated with this. Curses of destruction and poverty.<\/p>\n<p>Poverty and destruction will come to the peoples of Canada. And, likely, famine as well (Matthew 24:7-8) before the start of the Great Tribulation&#8211;a time of trouble for Canada and its Anglo-allies.<\/p>\n<p>Notice something else Isaiah and Jeremiah were inspired to write:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>6 Therefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts,<br \/>\nWill send leanness among his fat ones;<br \/>\nAnd under his glory<br \/>\nHe will kindle a burning<br \/>\nLike the burning of a fire. (Isaiah 10:16)<\/p>\n<p>28 They have grown fat, they are sleek;<br \/>\nYes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked;<br \/>\nThey do not plead the cause,<br \/>\nThe cause of the fatherless;<br \/>\nYet they prosper,<br \/>\nAnd the right of the needy they do not defend.<br \/>\n29 Shall I not punish them for these things?&#8217; says the Lord.<br \/>\n&#8216;Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?&#8217; (Jeremiah 5:28-29)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The end of Canada and its Anglo-descended allies is coming.\u00a0 National repentance, which does not seem likely at this stage, is the only hope. But individuals themselves can turn to God. And although obesity is a multi-factorial problem, nearly all who are overweight, even the irreligious, can eat less and make better food choices.<\/p>\n<p><em>Some prophetic articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/canada-in-bible-prophecy.htm\">Canada in Prophecy: What Does Bible Prophecy, Catholic Prophecy, and other Predictions Suggest About the Future of Canada?<\/a> There are prophecies that suggest involvement with Canada.
