Please. I'm not worried about the Lord taking care of me. I'm simply pointing out that your biblical typing is inaccurate.O ye of little faith. The Lord will make sure we have what we need.
If it is inaccurate then that will become obvious in the next two months, likewise if your claim is inaccurate it will become obvious in the next two months.Please. I'm not worried about the Lord taking care of me. I'm simply pointing out that your biblical typing is inaccurate.
Your typology is wrong either way. The last 7 years hasn't produced the abundance for the next 7.qazwsxzedc

Your reading of Genesis is wrong. Pharaoh wasn't saying the first seven years were uncommonly good. He describes the kine as "full fleshed" and the corn as "rank and good". The point of the dream is how bad the next seven years are. the data absolutely supports the conclusion that the last seven years have been "well favored" and good.Your typology is wrong either way. The last 7 years hasn't produced the abundance for the next 7.
The years from 2019 to 2026 were years of record breaking abundance, not just in the US but in China, South America and Africa. Do you guys even check the data? The black cow had the really nice 7 on the forehead, the red cow had the simplest seven. For the last seven years we have been "in the black" and we are now going "into the red".Maybe 2019-2026 were the years of famine... the black cow was born first.
Who saved the crops so that all will be fed the next 7 years?Your reading of Genesis is wrong. Pharaoh wasn't saying the first seven years were uncommonly good. He describes the kine as "full fleshed" and the corn as "rank and good". The point of the dream is how bad the next seven years are. the data absolutely supports the conclusion that the last seven years have been "well favored" and good.
Genesis 41:18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: 19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness: 20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: 21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
Over the past seven years (2019–2026), global corn harvests have shown a general upward trend, rising from roughly 1.14 billion metric tons to record highs near 1.33 billion metric tons, driven by improved yields and strong output from top producers like the United States Department of Agriculture data tracker. [1, 2, 3, 4]
General Production Trends
Key Regional Shifts
Yes, global and major national corn harvests have reached historic milestones and record levels in recent years. Broadly speaking, cumulative global staple crop production, including maize, trended toward historic highs approaching the 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 crop years. [1, 2, 3]
- United States: Remains the world's top producer, accounting for roughly 32% to 33% of global output, though acreage saw slight pullbacks heading into 2026 due to rising fertilizer and input costs. [1, 2]
- China: Solidified its place as the second-largest producer, steadily increasing output past 290–300 million metric tons to meet massive domestic demand for livestock feed. [1, 3]
- South America: Brazil and Argentina expanded their market share significantly, with Brazil turning into a major export powerhouse despite periodic weather disruptions and shifting El Niño patterns
Global and Regional Records
- Global Projections: The International Grains Council and USDA tracking highlighted historic worldwide maize production bounds pushing past 1.2 billion metric tons during the mid-2020s marketing windows. [1]
- United States: The 2025 U.S. corn harvest broke modern records, hitting an unprecedented 16.7 to 17 billion bushels (roughly 425+ million metric tons) backed by record-high yields per acre. [1, 2]
- South America: Brazil and Argentina posted massive, record-shattering harvested areas and production volumes in successive seasons between 2023 and 2026. [1, 2]
- South Africa: USDA crop data confirmed record-setting commercial corn production reaching 18.0 million metric tons
But you also did not account for the fact that what King James English calls "corn" is probably wheat; because neither the English nor the Egyptians had any actual American corn.Your reading of Genesis is wrong.
So you are going to double down?Who saved the crops so that all will be fed the next 7 years?
Corn is used for animal feed, particularly to fatten cows. So the corn production is directly tied to well fed cows. The bottom line is that the last seven years have been good years, and that is all that Pharaoh's dream says. He describes the cows as fine examples of well fed cows in Egypt, not as being extraordinarily fat. The dream is not about how great the first seven years are but how extremely bad the next seven years are and the evidence we are already seeing is that this will be the case.But you also did not account for the fact that what King James English calls "corn" is probably wheat; because neither the English nor the Egyptians had any actual American corn.
US domestic wheat production has trended downward since 2019 and there is expected to be a trough this year.
Just answer my question: where are the stores of food that will get us through the next 7 years?So you are going to double down?
1. We know the seven years from 2019 to 2026 were good to great years, even record breaking years.
2. We know that the next four years at least will be very bad years and I really haven't even talked about the record breaking El Nino year or any of the very plausible other impacts that could make the harvests worse. Simply based on what we know concerning Fertilizer and existing damage to refineries.
3. We had a remarkable sign in which two baby cows were born with 7's on their foreheads within five days of each other and this hit the news on Feast of Trumpets in 2014.
But now you want to know about stockpiling of food.
Here's a summary of the landscape over roughly the last seven years (2019–2026), across three threads: elite/billionaire bunkers, mass-market prepping, and government stockpiling.
1. Billionaire and elite bunker-building
This has been a steadily growing media story, not a single event:
- 2018–2019 origin: A Bloomberg report found at least seven tech entrepreneurs had bought bunkers in New Zealand, and Peter Thiel reportedly obtained NZ residency as a fallback plan.
- 2023–2025 acceleration: Architectural Digest named "luxury bunkers" a real-estate trend of 2023. Reports on Mark Zuckerberg's ~$100M Hawaii compound (including a 5,000 sq ft bunker with independent power and food) surfaced via Wired in late 2024/2025. Builders like Hardened Structures said work had been "steady for years" but saw a "major uptick" tied to geopolitical tension — Russia/Ukraine, North Korea, Gaza, and domestic political "divisiveness." cbc
- 2026: Coverage this year describes a "2,000% increase in demand year over year" for luxury bunker builders like Vivos and Hardened Structures, driven by geopolitical instability and climate concerns. A March 2026 viral claim (from a bunker builder, not independently verified) named Gates, Zuckerberg, the Kardashians, and others as clients — treat that specific claim with skepticism, since it originates from a vendor's promotional video rather than confirmed reporting. SOFREP
2. Mass-market prepping trend
- FEMA's National Household Survey shows a real behavioral shift: 83% of U.S. adults took three or more preparedness actions in 2024, up from 57% the year before, though the "hardcore prepper" segment (continuous, high-efficacy preparation) is estimated around 6%, or roughly 25–30 million adults, depending on methodology. Realitystudies
- The commercial "prepper market" was valued at $14.1B in 2024 and is projected to hit $26.7B by 2031 — freeze-dried food, water filtration, solar/backup power, and "AI-enabled survival apps" are the fastest-growing categories. 6Wresearch
- Demographic note: multiple sources point to a Finder survey finding nearly a third of U.S. adults have invested in some emergency preparedness, with men and Gen Z showing higher-than-expected engagement — this isn't just an older/rural phenomenon anymore. Newsweek
- A July 2026 piece notes the flip side: 60% of U.S. households live paycheck to paycheck, which is a real barrier to stockpiling or affording evacuation regardless of intent. Natural News
3. Government stockpiling
- Strategic Petroleum Reserve: drawn down heavily under Biden (50M+ barrels released), standing at 395.3 million barrels as of March 2025 — about 19 days of consumption or 47 days of import coverage — well below historical highs. Wikipedia
- Food/grain reserves: the U.S. actually dismantled its dedicated national grain reserve after 2008, and the last true humanitarian grain reserves were depleted following the 2007 food crisis, a decline mirrored in many other countries. The 2025 shutdown of USAID has intersected with this — the Trump administration shut down USAID in July 2025, even as the total volume of internationally-committed humanitarian grain has been declining since the early 2000s. Institute for ProgressWorld Grain
- Countervailing trend: other nations have been increasing strategic grain stockpiles even as U.S. humanitarian food reserves shrink (other states hoarding while U.S. capacity for humanitarian leverage erodes).
- New reserve category: in March 2025, Trump signed an executive order creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a broader Digital Asset Stockpile — a genuinely new kind of "strategic reserve," unrelated to food/energy but part of the same stockpiling posture.
- Local/state mandates: PPD-8 (2011) still requires state/local agencies to maintain physical supply stockpiles as a condition of FEMA compliance and grant funding — this is bureaucratic baseline activity, not a new escalation signal.
There have been claims that the "food recalls" are in fact the government hoarding food:So you are going to double down?

It is a stupid question. No prepper is going to publicize where they are storing food for when the apocalypse hits. You will have to do your own research and see the possible evidence for this happening.Just answer my question: where are the stores of food that will get us through the next 7 years?
Preppers store food for a small relatively small number of people. There is no one storing food for the masses. You offer no evidence of this.It is a stupid question. No prepper is going to publicize where they are storing food for when the apocalypse hits. You will have to do your own research and see the possible evidence for this happening.
Take a look at this video
If they are hoarding food it will be in places like this and the best we'll ever see is some video from a truck driver.
The point is that no one is going to tell you they are storing food for when there is a calamity. Governments do not want to cause panic, so if they are doing it they won't publicize it. First you said that the last seven years were not years of plenty. That was false. Now no one can deny that all the observable information is that we are going into a period of severe shortages following seven years of famine and that this perfectly aligns with both Pharaoh's dream and these two cows with the sevens.Preppers store food for a small relatively small number of people. There is no one storing food for the masses. You offer no evidence of this.
Time to go when people start being negative. Grace and peace.
Right. But in Egypt, the government openly saved and stored the food. This was so well known that people traveled to Egypt to get it.The point is that no one is going to tell you they are storing food for when there is a calamity. Governments do not want to cause panic, so if they are doing it they won't publicize it. First you said that the last seven years were not years of plenty. That was false. Now no one can deny that all the observable information is that we are going into a period of severe shortages following seven years of famine and that this perfectly aligns with both Pharaoh's dream and these two cows with the sevens.
So now your objection is that I have not provided documentation of food being stored for this crisis when in fact any food being stored would be kept secret and not be published.
Anyway my job is not to convince or persuade, I don't care what you do with the warning, just so long as I don't have to be held accountable for you not having been warned.
Proverbs 1:20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
What do you mean openly? Pharaoh told his cabinet which included Joseph. They taxed the people and there is no reason to believe the people knew they had stored up grain because they come to Pharaoh during the famine and that is when he tells them to go to Joseph.Right. But in Egypt, the government openly saved and stored the food. This was so well known that people traveled to Egypt to get it.
So 7 years of grain was stored and no one knew? They couldn't see the places it was stored? The weren't aware of those guarding it? No farmers were contacted? People didn't know what their eyes were seeing?What do you mean openly? Pharaoh told his cabinet which included Joseph. They taxed the people and there is no reason to believe the people knew they had stored up grain because they come to Pharaoh during the famine and that is when he tells them to go to Joseph.
So the storage of grain is not revealed until the famine hits.
Your reasoning is not proof.So 7 years of grain was stored and no one knew? They couldn't see the places it was stored? The weren't aware of those guarding it? No farmers were contacted? People didn't know what their eyes were seeing?
