Another story hit hard this week, showing the devastating drought afflicting so many poor countries of the world right now. Remember, famines are part of the "birth pangs" of which Jesus foretold in Matthew 24:6-8 which would produce Antichrist. Listen:
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows. Matt 24:7-8
The people during the entire 20th Century have experienced exactly this type of "early birth pangs", have they not, including two world wars? Did you know that the Illuminati planned for three (3) world wars by which Antichrist would be produced on the world scene? This coming war between Israel and her Arab neighbors will be the Third World War, out of which shall stride Antichrist.
The famines, floods, earthquakes and hurricanes which are increasing more each year, also testify to the closeness of the prophetic hour. As Jesus listed them in a bundle, so are they now appearing -- as a bundle throughout the world.
Now, let us examine this most terrible famine -- in the news.
NEWS BRIEF: "Aid workers warn of another bitter harvest for Niger after season of drought and locusts", Financial Times (F.T.), September 30 2005
"As farmers in Niger begin to reap their harvest and aid agencies phase out food distributions, many aid workers warn that acute food shortages could affect the country again next year. About 3.6m people in Niger were affected this year by food shortfalls brought about by the effects of drought and locust infestations and compounded by scarce food supplies in the west African Sahel region ... Many farmers have had to mortgage this year's harvest or migrate from their fields to help raise money to pay escalating food prices in the past few months. While this year's crop is expected to be an improvement, farmers could still run low on food stocks in seven months, which is normal in Niger, and simultaneously face a cash flow crisis.
"... the fragility of the system was evident early on when a survey by WFP and Hellen Keller International, published in April, indicated a malnutrition rate of 13.4 per cent, comparable with those seen in conflict zones or emergencies, in two of the worst affected provinces ... And the decision to introduce blanket food distributions as late as August has also pushed up costs as large-scale supplies were needed quickly to quell the sudden spread in severe malnutrition and hunger. Médecins Sans Frontières said this month it received about 1,800 severely malnourished children under the age of five at its feeding centres in Maradi province every week, more than the monthly figure a year ago.
"Analysts say anti-locust programmes and assistance by the World Bank and other partners are insufficient to stem what is seen as a deepening regional crisis. This year, millions more people were affected by food shortages in neighbouring Burkina Faso, Mali and Mauritania, although not as seriously as Niger ... many farmers such as Mohammed Salissou, a millet grower in Maradi province, view their slide into poverty with fatalistic eyes. 'I had to sell off many animals last year to buy food. I have virtually no savings left. We will run out of food in six months, so we are at the mercy of the aid agencies now'."
Can you hear the footbeats of the Four Horsement of the Apocalypse?
