That's all for now though about this. Your in a situation where half the USA is in a drought and from Missouri east it's so wet they cant get their tractors in their fields to even plant it. The Ukraine isn't able to supply grain because their busy with something else it's going to catch up with us all eventually....

Seems like it happened on the farms a few years ago and then hit fake news, bypassing the stores.

lol, What I mean by the order is that it happens on the farms first so it's July 30, 2022(farmers either have already harvested or are doing it now depending on the crop) so the crops that grew from the spring till now haven't gotten to the grocery stores yet. Each individual would need to look at the farms in their area to determine the crop quality. For instance hay and cattle are what most farmers grow in my area. Since we are in a drought the hay don't grow and so they cant bale it as many times per year as usual so everyone's looking for hay,this is the current price if you can find it https://allhay.com/hay-for-sale-by-state/texas/ I worked on three or four farms over my life but the largest one was only 500 acres(small crop actually most are way larger but we grew rice seed to sell to farmers) the others were 193 acre,47 acre and a 28 acre(all raised cattle). Cattle,poultry,swine ect. also eat grain(oats,wheat,corn ect.) so most see a bad crop of wheat or corn as a loaf of bread or a pan of cornbread and never think about the meat in a hamburger or the batter on the fish sticks... Anyway to me the current drought(spring/summer of 2022) could not have come at a worst time I think because food prices are already real high and they are probably going to get way more expensive because of the drought.

It will happen suddenly.
I was taking with a local independent grocery and he told me he already has spot problems.
His supplier told him the larger store in the cities get priority and the smaller get what is left if there is any left.
Those who live in the larger cities with the large chain stores will not see the shortages as soon as we in the rural areas will.
It will come.

August 9th. If we get an attack that is an EMP attack then all trucks will be dead in the water and all gas stations will no longer be able to pump gas. That will be hard on the nation, but devastating to the big cities.

I mean now is the time to eat and drink, marry and give in marriage because in two weeks that may all come to an end.

I have been posting on this in my blog. https://christianchat.com/blogs/sum...s-on-the-rapture.197802/page-267#post-4893106
Two weeks?
It it happens as you say, It will have little effect on my life style.
I can survive for years here on the homestead if I stay healthy and the storm troopers don't come.
Wonder how all these people on social media are going to keep their sanity?

I have set my hope on meeting with the Lord in the air prior to this event. However, it seems three days after that meeting the waters will be turned to blood for anyone whose heart is not right with the Lord.

I believe things will get really ugly before Jesus returns and we are gathered together with Him.
Sooo many do not see what is coming. Just do not believe it can happen to them.

I believe what the Bible says and am open to anyone who has light on the word.

I find one of the most amazing prophecies is that the vast majority of people will have no idea what is coming until the day they are destroyed. That is what happened at the time of Noah and at the time of Sodom and Gomorrah. So although all the signs will be there and all the prophecies and all the warnings they will remain clueless until fire falls from heaven.

I also believe that just like Noah was safely in the ark prior to the flood and Lot was safely out of Sodom prior to fire falling, there will be rescue of the saints prior to the tribulation.

I also believe that what the Lord gives us is like pieces to a jigsaw puzzle. If you look at my blog there are over 4,000 pieces. As a result someone like Vicki Goforth Parnell is given wonderful pieces to the puzzle that are awesome for myself and also for Stan over at Prophecy Club. But I suspect for most others that hear what she is saying it is just confusing. If you are not actively putting the jigsaw puzzle together it is simply one more confusing piece. But if you are you can see exactly where these pieces go and how they make the whole picture so much clearer.

Noah and Lot, two righteous men, were not taken from the earth, just keep safe while seeing the destruction around them.
God will decide who he keeps safe, and who will suffer.

The Lord said His return would be as the days of Noah and Lot, not identical to.

Seems to me they will be even more evil.
Sodom and Gomorrah was completely burned to the ground. I don't think you can get more evil than that, but you can be a bigger scale than just 5 cities.

The evil of Sodom and Gomorrah was limited to that area.
Seems to be world wide today.
So, yes more evil.

What I meant is that it is strange it got to the news (or did it in it's true form?)...

Ecclesiastes 6:12 (KJV) For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

I agree,, I looked at it and thought maybe it's actually a blessing,, you know like when we try so hard to do something and it just wont work out and then a few weeks later other things happen and we realize it would have been worse if our plans would have worked out. Maybe just maybe a shortage because of C-19 followed by another because of Ukraine and then another from an drought is a blessing as if were being told "look at this", so we can be prepared for that...

I agree,,and the prices also. One of my sons is a manager at Walmart north of Houston. Last month he came over and stopped at our Walmart(small town) on his way and we bbq'd. He said our meats and the other things he could have bought for half that at his Walmart.
