(Bloomberg) The world is hurtling toward an unprecedented hunger crisis. As many as 132 million more people than previously projected could go hungry in 2020, and this year’s gain may be more than triple any increase this century. The pandemic is upending food supply chains, crippling economies and eroding consumer purchasing power. Some projections show that by the end of the year, Covid-19 will cause more people to die each day from hunger than from virus infections. What makes the situation unmatched: The massive spike is happening at a time of enormous global food surpluses. And it’s happening in every part of the world, with new levels of food insecurity forecast for countries that used to have relative stability.
In Queens, New York, the lines snaking around a food bank are eight hours long as people wait for a box of supplies that might last them a week, while farmers in California are plowing over lettuce and fruit is rotting on trees in Washington. In Uganda, bananas and tomatoes are piling up in open-air markets, and even nearly give-away prices aren’t low enough for out-of-work buyers. Supplies of rice and meat were left floating at ports earlier this year after logistical jams in the Philippines, China and Nigeria. And in South America, Venezuela is teetering on the brink of famine. By the end of the year, as many as 12,000 people could die a day from hunger linked to Covid-19, potentially more than those perishing from the virus itself, charity Oxfam International estimates. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-08-31/hunger-is-threatening-to-kill-more-people-than-covid-this-year
Dennis Edwards: When asked by His disciples what would be the signs of His coming and the end of the present dispensation, Jesus responded with:
And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.[1]
The pandemic whether planned or managed seems to be pushing the world into accepting a global reset and a New World Order. All of today's world leaders are clamoring for such a move. From Guteires at the United Nations, to the head of the World Health Organization, the head of the International Monetary Fund, Merkle from Germany, Macron from France, Tony Blaire and Gordon Brown former UK Prime Ministers, Prince Charles, etc. Global government is a key phrase being used as a solution to the present crisis. David Rockefeller, who worked tirelessly towards a One World Government, said in 1994 that all that was needed for the world to embrace the idea of global government would be a crisis sufficently grave. Is the COVID -19 pandemic the crisis he was refering to? Out of safety and security will the nations of the world yield to a One World System?
As Christians with knowledge of Bible prophecy it behooves us to warn the nations of the draconian world government predicted in Bible that shall dominate the world just before the return of Christ at the famous Battle of Armageddon. Are the present steps of greater government control within the concerted united effort to contain the COVID-19 pandemic moving us closer to that vile world government? Are the new never before used vaccines being developed bringing us closer to the famous Mark of the Beast that the world government will ultimately require all to accept in order to be able to buy and sell?
These are questions we need to be attentive to. But most of all we need to develop a closer walk with Jesus who promises to be with through the dark and evil days ahead. He said,
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.[2] These things I have spoken unto to you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.[3] And, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.[4]
