When you look at bible prophecy in conjunction with world news headlines, it's not hard to see just how quickly the fulfillment of prophecy can take place. Case in point, the prophecy in Revelation 6 which foretells a time in the very near future when it will cost a days wage just to purchase enough food for one person for one day.
Take all the recent headlines about food supplies stretched to the limit and prices skyrocketing. Through in a major war like another Korean conflict or Mid-East war, both with the ability to go nuclear, and presto, you would have exactly the situation that the Apostle John wrote about.
Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!” Revelation 6:6 NIV
From the articles:
Strained by rising demand and battered by bad weather, the global food supply chain is stretched to the limit, sending prices soaring and sparking concerns about a repeat of food riots last seen three years ago.
________________________________
The threat of violent food riots in emerging countries around the world is raising questions of how best to cope with continued pressures from soaring prices for such basics as wheat, rice, meat and soybean. Flooding in Australia, snowstorms in the Northern Hemisphere, unusually dry weather in South America and rising demand for food staples in countries like China are just a few of the factors playing havoc with the global supply of food and pushing up prices to record levels.
