Millions face food poverty as northern Europe is hit by worst drought in 35 years

Prophecy Sign:  A food crisis as we near the time of the end, resulting in famines and inflated food costs.

Jesus Christ gave warning that there would be famines throughout the world at the time of the end, and the Apostle John wrote in the book of Revelation that food would become extremely expensive during the Tribulation period.  The past year we have seen countless articles warning of pending food shortages, with resulting food price increases and civil unrest.

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. Matthew 24:7-8 NIV

From the article:

Third World nations are braced for riots as Europe's heat wave creates a rise in food prices and drives millions deeper into poverty. "We are in a situation of crisis and of crisis management," said Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, the French Ecology Minister. Meteorologists say that Northern Europe has had 50 per cent less rain than normal over the past two months, while temperatures have been 4C higher than usual.

With droughts also reported in China and southern US states, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the UN fears rioting in poor countries. Officials said that the global price of cereals had risen 71 per cent over the past 12 months, and while Moscow will lift a ban on exports of wheat, barley, rye, corn and flour introduced during the heat wave last summer, it may provide only temporary relief.
