THE BLACK HORSE AND BLACK GOLD

(Rev 6:5,6)  And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances [scales] in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure [quart] of wheat for a penny [for a day’s wages], and three measures [quarts] of barley for a penny [for a day’s wages]; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

God bless you dear brothers and sisters. Did you know that the price of wheat doubled last year, and it looks like wheat is going to double again this year? Have you noticed the current price of a loaf of bread? Because our staff and volunteers earnestly seek to rescue lost souls from eternal damnation, and because we provide 30,000 meals a month to God’s people, both saved and unsaved, please allow me to convey to you a most relevant and excellent article that appeared in the St. Petersburg Times newspaper dealing with the rapidly growing international food crisis; a food crisis that is being greatly advanced by the United States through our vain quest for cheaper gasoline; gasoline that is partially derived from our own corn food crops (ethanol). Please read the following article which appeared on 02-14-08 subtitled “A U.N. official says food is going to bio-fuels” with my boldface, underlining, commentary and italics added:

                                                                                                                                                            UNITED NATIONS - Many of the world’s poorer people cannot get enough food because of the soaring [food] prices partly caused by the use of food crops to produce bio-fuels, the head of the U.N. food agency said. “We’re seeing more people hungry and at greater numbers than before,” [as are we at this Rescue Mission] Josette Sheeran, executive director of the World Food Program, said Monday. Higher oil prices [manipulated by our middle-eastern Muslim “friends”] are contributing to steeper food prices by boosting [personal and commercial] transportation costs, and severe weather is also hitting many countries and hurting crop output, she said. “We’re seeing many people being priced out of the food markets for the first time [this is Rev 6:5,6],” said Sheeran, who was at U.N. headquarters for a General Assembly debate on global warming.

The WFP [World Food Program] provides food aid around the globe, and Sheeran said the amount of food the agency can afford to buy for hungry children is down 40 percent from five years ago [price (demand) is going up and supply is going down]. One of the problems is the drive to use corn, soybeans, sugar cane and other crops [things that we will EAT AND LIVE] to produce bio-fuels [things that we cannot eat: poison – they are converting our food into toxic poisons that we will EAT AND DIE (do not let the point of this remarkable inversion escape you)], which are seen as a cleaner and cheaper [the oil companies, ours and theirs, gotta maintain those hefty profit margins] way to meet soaring energy needs than greenhouse gas-emitting fossil fuels.

In Rome, the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization said Wednesday that 100-million tons of cereals are diverted [converted (a really interesting word association)] to the production of bio-fuels each year. Sheeran said it would help if bio-fuel makers focused on using plants that aren’t good for food, noting that anything with cellulose can be used for such fuels, citing switchgrass, shrubs and trees as examples.

BLACK GOLD

Horses are a biblical symbol of power in the Bible. The “black horse” of Revelation 6:5,6 symbolizes flowing oil (black gold), and its rider is Allah. Ahhh…, please forgive the sweeping generalizations, perhaps I am just being delusional, seeing things that are not, but is there not indeed some source of deadly reality hidden here? I am seeing that this global world is like a yielding ball of dry (no Holy Spirit) crumbling earth held in the closed colossal hands of a gargantuan madman. THIS WORLD IS SLOWLY BEING SQUEEZED TO DEATH, STARVED TO DEATH OF OIL AND FOOD, crushed in the merciless ever tightening unrelenting vise-like grip of the big oil companies in collusion with big government who are unified in near-sighted cooperation (greed and power) with the far-sighted Islamo-fascist Muslim Jihadists (conquest and dominion); these are the two faces of utter annihilation and outer darkness. The former unashamedly strive to conquer the world for money and personal power; the clearly avowed purpose of the latter is to conquer the world for Allah and eternal bliss. Islam translates as “Submission.” Submit to Allah or die. This now is “the third seal,” opened.

Are you ready, prepared for “the fourth seal” (Rev 6:7,8)? Dear brothers and sisters, in the little time remaining, what do you think the Lord would have us do? “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo [“Fear not” Luke 5:10], I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (Mat 28:19,20).

God bless you. J

Sincerely,

Rev. Lionel

Ps. the need is great. In no particular order, we need volunteers with smiling faces, money, Bibles, food, a much larger facility, auto donations, people to preach the evangelical born-again Word of God, and places to preach. Please help in whatever way you are led by the Lord. Thank you.
