  Famines and Pestilence Signs of the End Times or Times of the Past?
  

  One blight on the world is the hunger and starvation caused by famines. This is in spite of the fact that U.S. farmers are paid by the government not to produce crops lest the abundance drives the prices down, (thereby making food more plentiful and affordable).
  
  In the end times message of the Bible as depicted in the Book of Revelation, food would become extremely scarce and valuable during the time of the end. "And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying," A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley  for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine." (Revelation 6:6)
  
  This accords with Jesus' prophecy of Matthew 24:7, a chapter which speaks of the end of the age and the overthrow of the Jewish temple in A.D. 70. What many may not recognize is that these are all curses found in the Law of Moses for the people God brought out of Egypt. Mose s writes of what happens to them in their latter days when they rebel against Jehovah. See Deut. 28:58-62, Lev. 25:25-29, Duet. 32).
  
  Dispensational Premillennialists, eager to find signs for the end of the world ignore the Biblical context and manufacture famines from across the world with news media hype to create an artificial end times that has no resemblance to fulfilled Bible prophecy. See each of these signs discussed in context with Scripture.
