From RaptureForums: Food Production: God is Closing the Window By Todd Strandberg Unless you live in Death Valley or another country, you’ve probably noticed that the US has had an abundance of rainfall. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Centers for Environmental Information, May 2018 to April 2019 was the wettest year on record in the contiguous United States. This year’s corn crop is a little over a month old and it has already been negatively impacted by all this moisture. In fact, it is one for the record books, with planting at the slowest pace in 40 years. There comes a point where there just may not be enough days for the plants to mature before a hard frost, so millions of acres will now have to wait until the 2020 growing season.... Chinese farmers are also very perplexed over why 2019 has become such a disastrous year for food producers. While their weather has been normal, China faces a biological threat on three fronts: 1. Some 30% of pig farms in mainland China are rumored to have been hit by African swine fever.... Bible prophecy may be the explanation for why food production is experiencing so many difficulties. If the tribulation hour is near, the earth is going to go from a time when food is generally plentiful to a time when a loaf of bread will cost a day’s wage. Since 2019 is now certain to be a shortfall year, we may be seeing the beginning of the predicted end-time famine.... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77800607 What does it mean - for the Spirit of the Lord to move in Samson. Here's one viewpoint from biblehub: Matthew Poole's Commentary To move him at times, i.e. to stir him up to heroical designs; to show forth his power in him in the frame of his mind, and in the strength of his body “The Spirit of the LORD” came on him “at times,” giving him supernatural strength. It wasn't constant, but at those times when called for. Judges 14 reveals a weakness Samson displays his entire life; a passion for beautiful woman. In the first verse, he spots a beautiful woman and immediately without thinking it through - tells his parents he wants to marry her. Judges 14:1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines. 2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife. His parents tried to dissuade him from taking her for a wife - but he would hear none of it: Judges 14:3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. His parents had no idea this was all part of God's bigger plsn - to weaken the philistines: Judges 14:4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. |

If we follow the historical fulfillment of the Daniel 11 prophecy, it becomes apparent that this was accomplished under the Syrian invader Antiochus Epiphanes, who caused a pagan defilement of the temple around 168 B.C. Yet this was long before Jesus spoke. So Jesus must have been declaring that this past fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy was not a complete fulfillment—that the past event was a prototype or forerunner of something still to come... Is it possible to discern if we are in the end time? Jesus said it is, giving the example from nature of the branches of a fig tree becoming tender and putting forth leaves as an indicator that summer is near (Matthew 24:32). “So you also, when you see all these things [leading to His return], know that it is near—at the doors!” (Matthew 24:33). Jesus chided the religious authorities of His day for failing to “discern the signs of the times” concerning His first coming (Matthew 16:1-3). He could do the same today with regard to the signs for His second coming. Obviously we have not entered the Great Tribulation yet. Rather we appear to be in the escalation of initial birth pains. Indeed, for ages wars, famines, pestilences and natural disasters were somewhat static with occasional spikes in activity. But in the past century, mankind has seen a huge increase in all these indicators... [link to www.ucg.org (secure)] |
