Beware the Mark of the Beast: Antichrist Control of Food and Water

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Revelation 13:16-17

Shortly after a pseudo-miracle, the False Prophet will institute the mark as a means of total control. Those not accepting the mark will be put to death as Revelation 13:15 makes this clear. "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." Massive food and water shortages will evidently contribute to the "need" to control both. Again, because man lives by God's word as well as physical food, humanity's rejection of the Word of God will force a situation where they will need to heed Satan and his False Prophet to eat. What a terrible time!

This point is certainly proven as events in Revelation 6 remind us of global shortages and economic collapse. John wrote of the dreaded black horse of famine riding worldwide. One can almost hear foot stomps of this horse awaiting the pronouncement of the third seal. "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 in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine (Revelation 6:5-6)." It will take a days wages for a meager meal at this time. What a terrible time!

Could we now be seeing the beginnings of the shortages as a warning of the nearness of the Antichrist and the ensuing Tribulation? In scenes reminiscent to Hosea 4:1-3, the mysterious mass deaths of animals continue worldwide with one of the most recent being herd animals in the Middle East and Europe dying of either disease or mysterious causes. The list of animal species succumbing to mass termination is staggering: fish, marine mammals, various birds, manatees, cattle, goats, big horn sheep, deer, starfish, and crabs just to name a few. Some of the causes seemingly are identified while others are mysterious. It is obvious that something is wrong; furthermore, the black horse of Revelation 6 will not be released until after the Tribulation begins. Consequently, the bottom line is that natural means of obtaining food will be greatly diminished. We are already seeing the beginning of sorrows! What a terrible time!

Why not just plant a garden and live off of home grown vegetables while saving seed for the next season? Unfortunately, this will not work either. Large corporations now control nearly all seed sales. Most seed available has been genetically modified and/or hybridized to the point that it will not yield adequate returns in future generations. By the third generation of a garden with these modified seeds there will be no viable return.

Unmodified or non-hybridized seed, for the most part, has been confiscated and placed in storage facilities like the Svalbard Global Seed Vault located on the Norwegian Spitsbergen Island. In essence, you are already dependent on large corporations like Monsanto for food. What happens when an evil ruler controls the world's food supply and the keys to the seed? Less than 3 percent of the available seed has not been hybridized and laws in some places actually prevent their use for various excuses.

Recent news adds another bizarre twist to the control of food as well. Scientists are diligently working to produce meat in laboratory settings. Is there something they know that we don't about the availability of herd and poultry animals?

What about water? Do you know that many states in the US currently have laws on the books claiming that rain water is state owned? A car sales owner recently found this out as he was fined for using the water accumulating on his auto dealership as a means of saving money used to buy water for washing cars. Also, there have even been international discussions on placing all fresh water under global governance. Like food production, all water may soon be regulated.

Yesterday, I drove about 80 miles round trip in a triangle pattern through the country. It used to be fairly common to see dead deer every few miles on a trip such as this. Rather than seeing deer (I saw one), coyotes were along the roadside where deer may have once been seen. There must have been around 10 dead coyotes which had been hit by traffic. Where have all the deer gone in this state? The point is that game and fish will eventually not be available as the terror called the Tribulation heats up.

So much more needs to be said! These are but the beginnings of signs and sorrows for a Christ rejecting world. What about you? Will you wait until it is too late and you must bow to Satan and assuredly go to Hell for accepting the mark or face martyrdom in the future? There is an escape now! Will you accept the warnings and the grace of God now that is found in Jesus Christ? Make your decision quickly! Jesus Christ is Soon2Come!
