Famine And High Cost Of Food; A Key Sign Of Jesus's Imminent Return

In this presentation, I will be examining the connection between global famine, food crisis and high cost of food being experienced across the world and the imminent return of the Lord, Jesus Christ, as prophesied in the bible.

The issue of food sustainability has been an agelong concern for the human race, from one generation to another generation, up to this twenty first century. This concern is a very pertinent one, since if man must continue to exist, there must be sustainable and affordable food production and supply to support the global human population. Otherwise; a ominous risk of human extinction lurks around the corner.


The Lord, Jesus Christ, however prophesied in Matthew 24:7 that one of the signs that will precede his return at rapture is famine and global food crisis. However, with the growing global increase in famine and high cost of food, many believer are of the opinion that it may be a key sign of Jesus's imminent return. 


With a rising number of people experiencing extreme hunger and drought around the world, the sustainability of the world's current food supply is being threatened. If we consider this global food crisis in isolation, one may be tempted to say that it has no connection with rapture, since our world had always witnessed food crises before now, and had always come out of them. However, if we correlate this current food crisis with other signs the Lord, Jesus Christ, gave in the book of Mathew, chapter twenty four, and the way it summed it up in verse thirty three that all the signs or events He prophesied will be happening concurrently, and now all of the He mentioned are happening simultaneously, then we can easily link this global food crisis to the coming of the Lord, Jesus Christ.


📖 Matthew 24:33 KJV

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

Some Natural and Geographical Factors Leading to Global Famine and Food Crisis

Famine and High Cost of Food that we are examining in this message, is a sign of the coming of Jesus Christ that falls under the Natural and Geographical Signs category, and as such, it will strongly underscore the point we are trying to make by examining how some environmental factors have contributed to the global famine.


Some of the factors responsible for the impending famine/food shortage crisis include.


-a. Extreme Drought in many countries

Is our World Truly Experiencing Famine and High Price of Food?

Ask our mothers and our wives; and they will give you feedback on how prices of food have risen astronomically in recent times and are still rising daily.


Somalians are dying in large numbers because they have no food to eat.


Recently, the United Nations has also raised an urgent impending famine and food shortages crisis alarm, across many nations, including Nigeria.


Is the Lord, Jesus Christ, Coming Any Time Soon?

To answer this question, let us look at Matthew 24:7


📖Matthew 24:7 KJV

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 


The Lord, Jesus Christ, prophesied that there will be famine or otherwise shortage of food at the time he is about to return at rapture. This can be said to be the reason for the global food crisis the whole world is witnessing, now. 


In Matthew 24: 33, He also said that all the other signs He mentioned in Matthew 24:7, above, as well as those mentioned in other places, in the bible will be happening simultaneously.


📖 Matthew 24:33 KJV

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.


We can also see that in confirmation of that scripture, wars, violences, bloodshed, earthquakes and pestilences like COVID 19, Ebola Virus, SARS, MERS Virus, Zika Virus, HIV and many others, are also happening simultaneously with the global food shortage. 


Based on all these, we can conveniently conclude that the ongoing global famine and expensive cost of food is a sign of Jesus Christ’s imminent return and that the Lord, Jesus Christ, is truly returning to rapture the church, any moment.


Let Us Pray

Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on me. Forgive me all my sins and save my soul. I confess You as my Lord and Personal Savior. Write my name in the book of life and take me with You when You return. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
