Recently I wrote an article titled ”Are You Hungry Yet?” about the many evils setting the stage for fulfillment of prophecy—the signals of the coming Apocalypse, Tribulation, etc.
I hoped that article would stimulate the believer’s spiritual appetite for the moment we all sit down together at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. I hope it made you look forward to that magnificent banquet with great anticipation, as I do.
Our appearance before our Lord and Savior in the clouds of glory could be in the very next moment, and we will then find ourselves before the bema—the judgment seat of Christ. With the rewards presented by Christ for the work we did in His holy name while we lived on earth, we will then accompany our Bridegroom and Lord of all lords in an exhilarating mission. We’ll go with Him to put an end to Armageddon and the wickedness that will have, by that time, completely engulfed planet Earth.
Then we’ll take part in the greatest of all banquets on a supernaturally refurbished planet. We will sit down at the Marriage Supper in honor of Jesus Christ, the Son of God who died for us and resurrected so that we could be redeemed from sin and become the Heavenly Father’s intimate family for eternity.
This great promise from God’s Word is contrasted by what will first take place. The great famine that is already in view will be just the opposite of the blessed Marriage Supper that will satisfy every need and satiate every hunger forever.
All people who turn their backs on God and his righteous Rx for living will experience famine. This is a principle understood through God’s archetype people/nation, Israel. The following describes what happens to people who become anti-God in comportment and instead go their own way, adhering to doing what is right in their own eyes.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again. (Amos 8:11–14)
The prophecy above did indeed take place on God’s chosen people. They have refused to hear God’s Word and have suffered—to this day—a spiritual famine. We know they suffered a literal famine in the Holocaust through starvation and every sort of atrocity, as they are prophetically scheduled to again suffer during that last seven years before Christ’s return. They have a disease that has blinded them to their true Messiah and His love for them. This we see in Romans chapter 11.
But it isn’t only a spiritual famine that’s coming for those who reject God’s call and prescription for life on His planet. There is coming a famine of the literal sort. And, according to Jesus’ own Words, it will be the worst of famines—the worst time in all of human history. The hunger it will produce will be deadly, but that will be only part of the Tribulation that God-rejecters will suffer.
That hunger is symbolically described as the third horseman and his black steed found in Revelation chapter 6.
The spiritual famine is already underway. Dr. David Jeremiah reported in his morning broadcast the other day that 52 percent of evangelical Christians no longer believe the Bible is inerrant. So it is not hard to extrapolate from that astonishing statistic the degree to which anti-Bible attacks are occurring and will soon be underway by the unbelieving world.
As Dr. Jeremiah said, questioning spiritual authority is in vogue; heritage is being lost. He said Mark Twain, even in his day, said: “The Bible is a book praised, but rarely read.”
So mankind is well down the broad way of biblical famine that leads to hunger, starvation, and, ultimately, eternal separation from the Creator-God who has moved Heaven and Hell to bring the only truth that can provide sustenance that assures eternal life.
Again, the best proof I can think of that shows specifically where the world is at present in that regard is this matter of Pride month.
The entire world is caught up at the moment—in June, 2023—in activity that can only be described as like in the days of Lot. Those with the loudest media voices declare through the transsexual and homosexual rants that God doesn’t have the right to declare the gender or deportment of His human creation.
This nation is guilty to the maximum extent in this wickedness. That is, America is, as I see it, at the very heart of this Sodom-like festival on a global scale. America is leading the way in pride fully showing out in total anti-God, back-turning as never before.
Again, David Jeremiah reminded that spiritual appetite for God’s Word has been greatly damaged on this fallen sphere. Mankind has thus lost the moral compass meant to keep humanity from starvation, both spiritual and literal.
The Bible is now being called hate speech by even governmental auspices and court systems here in the United States. Atheists now have stickers they place on Bibles in hotels and other places that proclaim: “Caution, this book is hazardous to your health.”
But God is not mocked, as Paul proclaims.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Galatians 6:7–8)
The horsemen of the Apocalypse are about to mount their terrifying steeds. They will go forth to put an end to the mockery of the God of Heaven and His Beloved Son Jesus Christ.
You don’t want to be a part of this increasing spiritual famine or the coming literal famine the black horse of Revelation chapter 6 will bring. Here is how to be kept from that horrendous time of judgment and wrath and instead sit down at the Marriage Supper to be filled with God’s righteousness and be within God’s family forever:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9–10)

Amen.
Remember, Terry The Word of God is always tr7ue and no matter how people
hate His Word the Bible God’s actions will not change toward
wickedness. God is always God and Christ Jesus will be with the saved
and the Holy Spirit and His guidance will give us the whole truth.
As a blind person like yourself, Christ Jesus has never failed me and
His Word says He will never leave me or forsake me. He has provided all
my needs, not wants.
Thanks again for the blog.

P. S. Pride is an awful sin. No one should be proud of perversion.

Excellent analysis!
The spiritual and physical famines are already here and growing.
I think that the saddest part of all is that though people can readily perceive their hunger from lack of food, they have no idea that they are also starving on a spiritual level.
FROM AN ARTICLE IN WORLD ISRAEL NEWS- DATED 6/14/23
THE JEW WHISPERERS: An exploration of the psychopathology of missionaries in Israel. Because many of our leaders crave American Christian support, they seem unwilling or unable to distinguish between genuine support & the toxicity of psychopathic missionary activity in Israel.The justification by Israeli Jewish supporters of overt Christian missionizing in Israel includes minimizing the impact or number of successful converts, denying the existence of missionary activity, decrying the impact on financial and political support from the United States by counter-missionary activity, noting the diminished political and financial support of American Jews, accusations of anti-Christian bigotry, outrage at articulation and presentation of proof of such activity, lawsuits of defamation and libel at counter-missionaries, and accusations of theological rigidity. For some community and religious leaders intimately involved with or supporting predatory missionary activity, it is the source of their livelihood. Some Israeli leaders fully acknowledge the harm and damage done by missionaries, but refuse to put themselves on the line for fear of losing financial or political support. Impact of the Jew Whisperers in Israel as of this writing, there have been 24,213 Israeli casualties of war since the foundation of the State and 4,255 victims of terrorism, for a total of 28,468 physical deaths. According to recent media reports, missionary activity in Israel has successfully converted 30,000 Jews to a belief in “Yeshua” (Jesus), under the guise of “messianic Jews.”These are Jews who have been lost to the Jewish people, lost to their families, lost to their communities, who have become Christians.This is the murder of Jewish souls.Missionizing in Israel is not “freedom of religion.” It is the historical continuation of social and geographic predatory expansionism of Christianity. We are beguiled fools if we don’t deal with this swiftly and decisively.’Beware of the Jew Whisperers’
**This article synopsis was just a portion of the author expressing their views.It starts by calling out and defining a sickness or neurosis, even a psychosis these people(missionaries) have. In fact, most of the article is about their quote, ‘illness defining evangelizing’, how it’s affected not just Jews, but people of other faiths.Their unabashed, unrelenting preaching of Christ. It’s articles like these and Rabbi Tovah Singer–google him–that makes me understand when the Bible says “blinded in part” why God’s Chosen people have not accepted Yeshua. Romans 11:25-27:King James Version25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Think this article goes hand in hand with Terry’s synopsis of present day happenings with the world in general-both Jew & Gentile!
Very good demonstration of the truth of Romans 11:25-27, Dave.
It reaches all the way back to the blindness of the Jewish religious establishment regarding Jesus. These “experts” should have been the first to recognize that their Messiah was standing right in front of them.
For some, their rejection was based on not wanting to give up their favored status and perks:
John {11:47} Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. {11:48} If we let him thus alone, all [men] will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
Others, like Saul (Paul) genuinely thought Christians were blasphemers:
Galatians {1:13} For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how
that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: {1:14} And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Yet, perhaps there is one major reason for t rejection which is,universal and crossing all ethnic lines throughout time – because accepting the truth of God and Jesus also requires that one accepts responsibility for his or her actions.
Its called ‘Conviction’ Ed! Until and unless you, myself or any person feels the life they lead is sinful, the thoughts they/I/we think are sinful, then they/ I/we can’t come to a point where the Holy Spirit indwells in us. I like the Pentecostal church so much for this reason as they preach this! I never could have dreamed in my wildest dreams in my youth as that song goes that I would ever come to a Saving knowledge. I don’t believe one can be truly saved without this conviction. I believe the thief on the cross points us to this because he evidently was ‘convicted’ by this Spirit when he confesses he belongs here, while Jesus doesn’t as He’s done nothing to deserve being crucifying!
You are right.
For example, an alcoholic that doesn’t admit he or she has a problem will never look for a remedy – I know this from personal experience.
Paul said:
Romans {8:6} For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace. {8:7} Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. {8:8} So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. {8:9} But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
1 Corinthians {2:14} But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them,] because they are spiritually discerned.
In other words, don’t expect to see TV pictures with a radio!
This article is so timely and encouraging! Looking so forward to the ‘catching away,’ that I’m anticipating will be very soon. Occupying until then——Maranatha!
