The Four Horsemen

The weather is crazy, isn't it?  Lack of rain, with resulting drought and fires; too much rain, with resulting flooding; lower temperatures than normal with record snowfall; higher temperatures than normal; hailstorms in the summer; tornadoes, and on and on. 

Experts are already predicting that as early as next year (this was written in 2013), we could see shortages because of crop failures (this has begun now in 2014).  What will this mean?  Shortages and higher prices.

I have felt in recent years that the Lord has called me to be a "watchman," who warns of things to come.  I know that perhaps some people see me as a gloom and doom person...but I have the urging in my spirit to warn people of possible impending emergencies.

As Christians, we compare what is happening in our world to what the scriptures in the Bible tell us.  Remember the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
And I saw, and behold a white horse; and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given to him; and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.  
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
And there went out another horse that was red; and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword.  
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. 
And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse; and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.  And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Revelation 6:1-8  

The black horse is generally thought to be famine, with an entire day's wages being spent for one loaf of bread, and barley being used instead of wheat (which is supposedly less nutritious than wheat), because it's cheaper.

Be prepared, as much as you can.  Let the Spirit of the Lord lead you in what you should do.  If He does not return for us beforehand, we will go through some of this.  Another hard thing will be that many will not be prepared, and will be begging us for help.  Use this time to share the hope that we have in Jesus.  Never will He leave us, or forsake us.

Remember Joseph and the 7 prosperous years, and then the 7 lean years?

And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said; and there was famine in all the lands; but in all of the land of Egypt there was bread.

Genesis 41:54

He will take care of us, but we are to be wise also...  

until He comes...

Since posting the above, we are even deeper into the fulfillment of the end times...

Peace is harder to find in our world, and brutal terrorism is assaulting us on the nightly news broadcasts almost daily...along with natural disasters.

Read again the scriptures of the Four Horsemen, and you will see not only that the black horse is riding, but the red horse has now joined him.

There is no time to wait in accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior.  Don't wait too long, or you could be left behind when He comes for us.  He loves you, and wants nothing more than to call you "friend."  Just ask, He won't turn you down.

Hang on to Him through all the times to come...He will never leave you nor forsake you!

until He comes...

Ebola...

Pestilence.  One of the signs of the Pale Horse.

Yes, we have had famines, earthquakes, droughts, floods, epidemics, in the past.  But these signs are converging on us all at one time...a sign of the end times.

Be ready.  Our Lords coming is nigh at hand.  If you don't know Him, He is waiting for you with arms open wide!  He loves you.  Open your heart to Him.

until He comes...
