A growing global population poses a big challenge in terms of providing food and nutrition to all. Rising food insecurity and widespread poverty call for a new and improved worldwide vision for food systems that supports the well-being of both people and the planet.<\/strong> …<\/p>\n

India<\/a>, the second-largest food producer in the world based on calorie content, accounts for one-quarter of the world\u2019s undernourished<\/a> and is home to over 190 million hungry people. …<\/p>\n

Understanding the importance of food system security, eight out of 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have focused on food-related sustainability.<\/p>\n

As per the Global Hunger Index, hunger remains serious or alarming in 43 countries. …<\/p>\n

To aim for zero hunger by 2030 (SDG2), we need urgent coordinated action and policy solutions, https:\/\/earth.org\/food-systems-hunger-and-poverty-the-vision-for-global-change\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, the United Nations agreed to “coordinated action and policy solutions,” but thus far, they have not worked (though I do believe that they will temporarily appear to work for much of the world after the Beast power has risen up).<\/p>\n

Michael Snyder posted the following:<\/p>\n

Extreme Global Hunger: The UN Warns That Some Of The Poorest Areas Of The World Have \u201cZero Harvests\u201d Left<\/h2>\n

June 23, 2024<\/p>\n

In 2015, UN officials established a goal of completely eliminating global hunger by the year 2030.\u00a0 Needless to say, they have failed dramatically.\u00a0 According to the UN<\/a>, someone is dying from starvation \u201cevery few seconds\u201d as the global food crisis continues to accelerate.\u00a0 Unfortunately, experts agree that what we are experiencing right now is just the beginning, because land is being degraded at a staggering pace.\u00a0 As you will see below, 40 percent of the world\u2019s land is already degraded, and it is expected that figure will reach 95 percent by 2050.\u00a0 Here in the western world, we can still use various methods to temporarily improve the quality of our soil, but the head of the UN World Food Program says that in some of the poorest parts of the planet we have already reached a point<\/a> where there are \u201czero harvests\u201d left\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Droughts and flooding have become so common in some of the poorest places on Earth that the land can no longer sustain crops, the director of the World Food Programme\u2019s global office has said.<\/p>\n

Martin Frick told the BBC that some of the most deprived areas had now reached a tipping point of having \u201czero\u201d harvests left, as extreme weather was pushing already degraded land beyond use.<\/p>\n

He said that as a result, parts of Africa, the Middle East and Latin America were now dependent on humanitarian aid.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sadly, it won\u2019t be too long before most of the land in wealthier nations is degraded too. …<\/p>\n

In Mexico, an all-time record for the entire country was broken last week when the temperature in the Sonoran Desert hit a whopping 125 degrees<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Last week, Mexico recorded the hottest day in its history, scientists have stated, with temperatures in the Sonoran Desert hitting 125 degrees.<\/p>\n

These extraordinary temperatures, measured by Shel Winkley, a meteorologist at Climate Central, were part of a deadly heat wave that has swept across Mexico, Central America and the Southwestern United States, killing 125 people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here in the United States, the \u201clargest\u201d dust storm that our scientists have ever seen just ripped through the state of New Mexico<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

In the Midwest, they are facing a different sort of a problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cCatastrophic flooding\u201d has hit the region, and this is causing tremendous chaos<\/a> in farming communities all over the heartland of America\u2026<\/p>\n

In Rock Valley, Iowa, all homes north of Highway 18 were evacuated amid high floodwaters Saturday. \u201cI cannot even believe what I\u2019m seeing right now,\u201d said Daniel Heitritter, who evacuated his neighborhood in Spencer on Saturday. As water in his home reached shin-deep, he flagged down a boat to come pick him, his wife and cat up, he said. On Saturday, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds issued a disaster proclamation for 21 counties in northwest Iowa and directed all available state resources to assist Rock Valley and other communities in response to \u201ccatastrophic flooding.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On top of everything else, the major global wars that are coming<\/a> will greatly disrupt food production and food distribution all over the planet.<\/p>\n

So what is the bottom line?<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that global famines are already here, and they are going to get far worse during the years ahead.<\/p>\n

Enormous numbers of people are going to die from starvation, and those that are wise will prepare while they still have an opportunity to do so. https:\/\/theeconomiccollapseblog.com\/extreme-global-hunger-the-un-warns-that-some-of-the-poorest-areas-of-the-world-have-zero-harvests-left\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The dry and overly wet weather mentioned above brought to mind the following prophetic scriptures:<\/p>\n

6 \u201cAlso I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities. And lack of bread in all your places; Yet you have not returned to Me,\u201d Says the Lord. 7 \u201cI also withheld rain from you, When there were still three months to the harvest. I made it rain on one city, I withheld rain from another city. One part was rained upon, And where it did not rain the part withered. 8 So two or three cities wandered to another city to drink water, But they were not satisfied; Yet you have not returned to Me,\u201d Says the Lord. (Amos 4:6-8)<\/p>\n

15 \u201cBut it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: 16 \u201cCursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country. 17 \u201cCursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. 18 \u201cCursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. 19 \u201cCursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out. 20 \u201cThe Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me. 21 The Lord will make the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess. 22 The Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword, with scorching, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish. 23 And your heavens which are over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you shall be iron. 24 The Lord will change the rain of your land to powder and dust; from the heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed<\/strong>. (Deuteronomy 28:15-24)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As far as weather goes, notice the following reports:<\/p>\n

\n

Weather woes forecast to continue as flooding in the Midwest turns deadly and extreme heat heads south<\/h2>\n

June 24, 2024<\/p>\n

Millions of Americans sweated through a scorching weekend<\/a><\/span> as temperatures soared across the U.S., while residents were rescued from floodwaters that forced evacuations across the Midwest. One person was killed during flooding in South Dakota, the governor said.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0National Weather Service<\/a>\u00a0said the worst of the heat wave would shift from the mid-Atlantic to portions of the southeast and southern Plains by Monday, brining welcome relief for major cities from Washington D.C. to Boston \u2014 but it may be short-lived.<\/p>\n

Plenty of Americans were still sweating it out Monday, with more than 60 million people under heat advisories in 21 states. High temperatures were expected from South Dakota to Florida, and the heat is expected to start climbing again in the mid-Atlantic as the week goes on, even rising back toward triple digits by Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Parts of the Midwest already inundated by floodwater, meanwhile, could see more significant rainfall in the days ahead. https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/weather-forecast-iowa-flooding-south-dakota-death-heat-wave-latest\/<\/a><\/p>\n

World breaks 1,400 temperature records in a week as heat waves sweep globe<\/h2>\n

This week, more than 1,000<\/a> temperature records broke around the world, many of them shattered by extreme heat. Hundreds have perished while making the Hajj pilgrimage to Islam\u2019s holiest site, Mecca, while some 100 million people are under a heat advisory in the United States. https:\/\/www.semafor.com\/article\/06\/23\/2024\/world-breaks-1400-temperature-records-heat-waves-sweep-globe<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The weather headlines brought to mind number 4 of the 24 items to prophetically watch in 2024<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

4. Weather Sorrows and Troubles<\/h2>\n

Of course, when thinking about prophecies, many people are concerned about prophecies such as those related to world events, the beginning of sorrows, the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the great tribulation, the rise of the Beast\/Antichrist\/666, Armageddon, etc.<\/p>\n

Jesus said:<\/p>\n

\n

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:4-8)<\/p>\n

5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 6 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. 7 But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. 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<\/strong>. (Mark 13:5-8)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Rough weather issues (watch Hurricanes and Prophecy<\/a>), fires (watch Fires and the Wrath of God<\/a>), strong earthquakes, and civil disturbances would seem to fall under troubles and sorrows.<\/p>\n

We will higher heat than what we have seen in 2023. ‘You ain’t seen nu’thin yet per Revelation 16:8-9.<\/p>\n

Expect more extreme weather in 2024.<\/p>\n

The Bible teaches:<\/p>\n

\n

2 Better to go to the house of mourning
\nThan to go to the house of feasting,
\nFor that is the end of all men;
\nAnd the living will take it to heart. (Ecclesiastes 7:2)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Do you take the damage to heart?<\/p>\n

After listing a variety of weather and other curses, God had Amos write:<\/p>\n

\n

12 \u201cTherefore thus will I do to you, O Israel;
\nBecause I will do this to you,
\nPrepare to meet your God, O Israel!\u201d (Amos 4:12)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Severe weather actually should to be a motivator for us to change and be ready to face our Creator!<\/p>\n

Of course, people say, \u201cThe weather always changes.\u201d And while it does, there are two point to consider about that.<\/p>\n

The first is that changes in the weather show us that our environment and circumstances can quickly change. As Christians, we need to:<\/p>\n

\n

34 \u201cBut take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.\u201d (Luke 21:34-36)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And that is a warning to get our spiritual life in order.<\/p>\n

The second is to consider that the severity of storms and their devastation has been increasing. Troubles are part of the beginning of sorrows (Mark 13:8; Matthew 24:4-8), and remember that the great tribulation (Matthew 24:21) comes in the same generation as does the beginning of sorrows (Matthew 24:34).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And yes, we have had higher heat in 2024 than in 2023.<\/p>\n

Do not think that famines are going to be limited to third and fourth world nations.<\/p>\n

The old Worldwide Church of God published the following:<\/p>\n

\n

The black horseman\u2019s future ride<\/strong> will reduce the proud faces of white America, Europe, and the British Common wealth into the blackened skin of starvation such as now afflicts the vast majority of mankind. (Alexander G. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Ambassador College Press, Pasadena (CA), 1973, p. 31)<\/p>\n

Notice some of the penalties for disobedience recorded in the 26th chapter of Leviticus: \u201cIf after all this you have not learnt discipline but still defy me, I in turn will defy you and scourge you seven times over for your sins. I will bring war in vengeance upon you \u2026 you shall be herded into your cities, I will send pestilence among you, and you shall be given over to the enemy. I will cut short your daily bread until ten women can bake your bread in a single oven; they shall dole it out by weight [see Revelation 6:5-6], and though you eat, you shall not be satisfied. If in spite of this you do not listen to me and still defy me, I will defy you in anger, and I myself will punish you seven times over for your sins. Instead of meat you shall eat your sons and daughters\u201d (Lev. 26:23-28, The New English Bible). Other passages warn of famine-producing upsets in weather (Amos 4:7, Deut. 28:24); ruined harvests (Ezek. 5:16, Deut. 28:17); blighted crops (Amos 4:9); harmful insect pests (Deut. 28:39, 42); and nonproductive soil (Deut. 28:23). (4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse \u2013 The Black Horse \u2013 Famine. WCG booklet, 1976)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And while the northern, Babylonian, European Beast power will prosper for a short while, it too will ultimately succumb to famine according to Revelation 18:2,8:<\/p>\n

\n

2 Babylon\u20268 her plagues will come in one day–death and mourning and famine\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We are starting to see more reports of food shortages and the potential for food inflation.<\/p>\n

We have already seen food price inflation.<\/p>\n

We have also seen signs of the ride of the third horseman of the Apocalypse.<\/p>\n

We are seeing reports of dramatic increases in world hunger.<\/p>\n

Related to food and prophecy, we put out the following video:<\/p>\n

3rd Horseman of the Apocalypse and Food<\/a><\/h3>\n

There are reports about food price inflation around the world. While it is worsening in many areas, some believe it will improve in 2023. Instead, could prices continue to rise in 2023 and get much worse in 2024 and thereafter? What are the causes of food price inflation? Is there any connection between weather, government policies, fertilizer prices, energy costs, economic sanctions and food price inflation? What are we seeing in reports from the United Kingdom, Hungary, and South Africa? What about impacts from Russia\u2019s \u2018special military operation\u2019 into Ukraine? Could EU and\/or USA policies be effecting any of this? Is the \u2018black horse\u2019 the one associated with famine, food shortages, and food price inflation in the Book of Revelation? Are there any physical lessons we can learn from ants according to the Book of Proverbs? What are some spiritual steps we should take according to Jesus? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these matters and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
