Yes, men are causing the cost of foodstuffs to rise. It has had very little to do with famine, comparatively. And your op challenged me to look at the passage differently than I always have. I don’t see what’s going on as not either guided by God or allowed by God to happen. After all, HE is the one who sets rulers in their seats and removes them from their seats. He even sat pharoah in his seat. As Daniel says, HE controls the course of world events.
I believe everything happens for a reason, even bad things.
The world is getting farther and farther away from God. And to me it looks like we're on the precipice of Sodom and Gomorrah.
These horses may be a kind of final warning to repent and return to God.
But even Revelation says that they just keep heading off the cliff.
Rev 9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses
were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Rev 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Rev 9:19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails
were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Rev 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
This is where our faith is tested. Those horses aren't unleashed upon God's people. They are unleashed upon those that turned their backs on him.
Nevertheless we will still feel the repercussions of what is taking place, because we exist on the earth.
And yet, we are the voices and the witnesses crying out to the world: If you repent, God may have mercy on you.
But they are so deaf and so blind. All they see is their own power, and their own willingness to control everything and everyone.
And once they put the ball in motion, nothing will be able to stop what is coming.
Our ecosystem is strong and yet delicate at the same time. It can take a lot of abuse and neglect from nature. God has fail safes put in for recovery. But when man upsets the balance of unnatural sources, it is more difficult and takes much longer for nature to right itself.
GMO's, gene splicing. pesticides, manufactured fertilizers, weed killers....
All of these have weakened the earths "immune system" .
The remedy to allowing the earth to replenish it's nutrients, was to allow it to rest 1 year out of every 7.
But people got glutoneous and ate more than what was needed. And became wasteful while others in other parts of the world starved.
What goes around, comes around.
But what is happening now is a deliberate reduction in all agriculture around the world by the globalists, to bring us to our knees so we will submit to them for a morsel of bread or a bit of crumbs.
The energy sector is being compromised so come winter, many will freeze and starve.
This is depopulation Agenda 2030. This is their idea of how to maintain "equality" with the earth.
The earth has a way of shaking off it's own fleas, it doesn't need man's assistance.
It's all about control. Whether it's the power to conquer other nations and lands, wars, famines or biological warfare, it all comes down to control and submitting oneself to the beast.
By now you should already have at least 3 months of food stored. You should be prepared with alternative heat sources. You should have water and blankets and whatever you would need if you knew a storm was coming and the electricity would go out, the roads could get blocked, the phone lines aren't working. Like a Blizzard or a Hurricane. Only instead of a few days, we may need a few years.
Because crops don't grow overnight. And the damage done to the soil, now they want to eliminate natural cow dung fertilizer...
The bees are dying off. Big Corporations like Nestle's and Coca Cola, draining all the water out of the reservoirs making it hard to water the land.
Yeah, we're in for a hell of time. Be ready. Be prepared.
Understand that this has to happen. People won't wake up to their sins until they have their eyes opened.
And God is going to open a lot of eyes.
But keep the faith. Know that God is in control.
And trust Him.
And when the time is right, all that should be, will be right again.
It has to be this way.
Hugs
