Prophecy Signs: Famines and food shortages
We have absolutely no idea of the horrors for those people that live in the world's most oppressive nation, that of North Korea. It is unimaginable to consider that 20,000 people have starved to death in just a half a year. And the reason why is because the elites in North Korea literally steal the food away from the citizens. God will deal with the North Korean leadership on judgement day, and I would not want to be in their shoes when they stand before the Almighty on that day.
Can it be that one of the reasons for the food shortages during the Tribulation is that the governing elite will be doing exactly the same thing on a global scale as is happening in North Korea? There is one passage in the book of Revelation that suggests that while food prices will sky-rocket, luxury items that are only affordable by the rich, (elites), will not experience the same increases. This suggests there will be two classes of people during the Tribulation; those running the show, and everybody else.
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 article:
A growing number of North Koreans are starving to death, even in the country’s grain belt on the southwest coast, despite increased crop yields because soldiers and state officials are extorting the grain. A defector who fled the North last summer said members of the ruling class would confiscate harvests and then blame the farmers for failing to meet regime-set production targets. “In my county [in the North], most of the harvests were taken forcibly by the ruling class,” the defector told a local radio station run by fellow defectors in Seoul . His testimony matched a report by Japan ’s Tokyo Shimbun newspaper in April that about 20,000 North Koreans starved to death in South Hwanghae Province
