=== Famine Caused by Politics (02:31) ===

[00:00:00]  Why do you fear the third horseman of the apocalypse is caused by politics, not famine caused by lack of food?
[00:00:12]  Yes, so Revelation chapter 6, verse 5 and 6, these are part of your notes.
[00:00:17]  It says this.
[00:00:19]  When he opened the third seal, this is the third horseman, I heard the third living creature say, come and see.
[00:00:26]  So I looked, and behold, a black horse.
[00:00:29]  As you know, if you watch this program, black is associated with famine.
[00:00:34]  We can learn that from other passages such as Lamentations 4, Jeremiah 14, and many other passages.
[00:00:39]  And he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand, and I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying this, a quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius.
[00:00:49]  And do not harm the oil and the wine.
[00:00:51]  Okay, so a quart of wheat for a denarius.
[00:00:53]  Interesting language for today.
[00:00:55]  This is in layman's terms, NLT.
[00:00:58]  A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley will cost a day's pay.
[00:01:03]  That is from the NLT.
[00:01:04]  A loaf of wheat bread will cost a day's page.
[00:01:08]  The black horse is clearly famine.
[00:01:10]  Not going to teach this whole thing, holding scales in his hand.
[00:01:14]  And I believe, I'm going through this quickly, but I believe this means that prices are inflated.
[00:01:21]  Because the book of Revelation events are not for here we're in Missouri, right?
[00:01:26]  It's not just for Missouri or Illinois or Arizona or California.
[00:01:32]  Right?
[00:01:32]  Right.
[00:01:33]  Or for one singular country.
[00:01:34]  It's for the entire world.
[00:01:37]  So think about this.
[00:01:39]  The Bible is saying in these times, the entire world can get bread.
[00:01:47]  It's there.
[00:01:50]  It'll just cost a day's pay.
[00:01:52]  So the food is there, but the Bible is saying you need to be prepared because you won't be able to afford it.
[00:02:00]  This is not speaking, this is speaking to famine, but it's not speaking to famine in the sense of lack.
[00:02:06]  It's a famine caused by politics.
[00:02:09]  And it is a famine caused by hyperinflation.
[00:02:13]  And I'm telling you right now, how would the man or woman in 1915 prepare if I was to somehow mysteriously hand them this article in 1915 telling them what the world was going to be like in less than 10 years?
