In the above link, Pastor Keith discusses the 3rd horseman of the Apocalypse...the black horse of famine. Rev. 6.
Pastor Keith majored in History in college,and is well read on the inflationary conditions that brought Hitler into power before W W 2, and his grand ambition torule the world.
Pastor Keith says that the conditions today of bankrupt nations and desperate citizens are mimicking those same pre- conditions for aW W 3 and the soon rise of antichrist.History does indeed repeat itself.
I was fascinated with the history of Hitler's lightning rise to power andhis 'blitzkrieg' takeover (lightning assault) of nations.
The economic manipulations, then, were just as lightening fast too, like ours are today.We see all of this on our horizon now.
Pastor Keith refers to Jeremiah 14:13-22 as a time of great economic deception.False prognosticators envision a future of peace and prosperity , but Jeremiah says not to listen to them.The opposite is the truth and reality.Ezekiel 7:19.
All persons on the earth are falling into categories of varying degrees ...rich, poor, unemployed, many rationing their supplies daily. We are as polarized as can be."Divide and conquer."We are losing a middle class society.
Many Christians die daily around the globe, especially in Nigeria, Africa and also Asian countries.
While it is true, that some of us will be Raptured(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), it is also true that none of us knows when... nor to what degree we will see troubles before then.
Many here in America are already suffering fromplague, and, unemployment, going without necessities, desperate etc.
There is *only one* Blessed Hope of escape and mercy,and that is the soon coming Rapture. Yet no one knows when Jesus is coming for His bride.
While we patiently wait for our Bridegroom, we must be diligent to build treasure in heaven by trusting in God--our Jehovah-Jireh-- to provide miraculously for us, while we practice common sense here below, led by the Holy Spirit.
MIRACLESOur God provided daily bread, manna, for 40 years in the Sinai desert.(365 x 40)
God provided miraculous loaves and fishes for feeding *thousands* during His ministry.
Here are the excellent verses of God, providing meals to *thousands*, with only a scarcity of substance.
Matthew 14-21;Matthew 15:32--38
Mark 6:37Mark 8:25
Luke 9--12
John 6:5
"I have been young, and now am old.Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,nor his seed begging bread."Psalm 37:25
