On the Brink of Disaster?

We honestly don’t know how much longer the American dream can continue.  Inflation, food shortages, $5.60 diesel fuel, gay-transgender marriage, transgender athletes smashing records, “pregnant persons”, Roe v. Wade division, money printing like no other time, drought, food processing plants burned, war on the horizon all around...the hits just keep coming.  Jesus said the times would be “as usual” when he returns to snatch His bride.  So how much “as usual” do we have left before all heck breaks loose?  Are we all ready?

*******************************

The warnings of coming economic peril are far too frequent to ignore. Even if food remains on the shelves at some stores, this will make it difficult for a great many people to afford to buy groceries.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently warned about a coming “economic hurricane.” He said this:

“It’s a hurricane. Right now, it’s kind of sunny, things are doing fine, everyone thinks the Fed can handle this … That hurricane is right out there, down the road, coming our way. We just don’t know if it’s a minor one or Superstorm Sandy or Andrew or something like that. You better brace yourself.” [i]

It’s disconcerting that the JPMorgan Chase CEO refers to record-high gas prices and double-digit inflation for groceries as “kind of sunny.” What might the “hurricane” have in store for us if it’s “sunny” now when a great many people are already suffering and unable to make ends meet?

Robert Kiyosaki is an American businessman, author, and the head a of private financial education company that provides personal finance and business education to people through books and videos. Michael Snyder, in his article 4 Really Big Names That Are Warning That Major Economic Disaster Is Ahead, quoted one of his tweets (with his emphases):

“DO YOU HAVE a PLAN ‘B’? We are in the BIGGEST BUBBLE in world history. Bubbles in stocks, real estate, commodities & oil. FUTURE? Possible DEPRESSION with HYPER-INFLATION….”  [ii]

Michael Snyder, a blogger and economic analyst, in that same article wrote this:

“I hope that you are enjoying these beautiful summer weekends while you still can because it appears that very troubled times are dead ahead. Simultaneously, inflation continues to spiral out of control even as economic activity in the U.S. dramatically slows down. Many have compared what we are currently experiencing to the “stagflation” of the 1970s, but the truth is that what we are facing will eventually be so much worse than anything that we went through back then. A meltdown of historic proportions is here, and as you will see below, some of the biggest names in the entire country are talking about it.”  [iii]

Britt Gillette, prominent biblical prophecy author and blogger, recently wrote:

“So, what does all this mean? It means a major economic crisis is on the horizon. It may be the worst global economic crisis ever – worse than the Great Depression. In times of chaos and economic instability, dangerous political leaders and demagogues capture the public imagination. Past economic crises led to the rise of Napoleon, the launch of the Bolshevik Revolution, and the consolidation of German state power in the hands of Adolph Hitler. All these events had grave consequences for the entire world, not just the individual nations in question. Why should we believe this time will be any different? We shouldn’t.”  [iv]

Besides the warnings of increasingly difficult economic times ahead, many are also warning of a severe crisis this fall and winter caused by dangerous food shortages and soaring costs for groceries beyond what we have already seen.

Warnings of Catastrophic Food Shortages

Below is a sampling of quotes that speak of catastrophic food shortages in our future.

Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanue recently told Fox News that the world is on the brink of a food crisis. “We are on the precipice of a global food crisis,” he told Maria Bartiromo. [v]
