“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
Most bible scholars have always said
that the black horse was a symbol of famine. But is it really? Seems
to me there is plenty of wheat and barley and oil and wine in those
verses. It's just that they are very expensive. I don't believe we
will have a true famine in America (in the Old Testament sense that
there is no food.) We may be put in a position to not be able to buy
food, if it is too expensive due to inflation or the dollar crashing
or whatever else is coming down the road. Unfortunately for us, we
are facing something far, far worse.
I had a spicy taco for lunch yesterday.
To put out the fire I thought I would have one of the chocolate
covered Nutter Butter Peanut Butter sandwich cookies I picked up at
the Family Dollar earlier in the day. I looked at the label. Contains
a Bioengineered ingredient. Shit. I decided to go ahead and eat a
couple because, you know, fire and all. I've already paid for it and
hate to see food go to waste. Excuses, excuses.
Shortly afterward I felt like total
shit. Not because the cookies made me nauseous or anything. Because,
knowing what I know, the fact that I ate the cookies anyway, made me
feel like what I had done was morally wrong. I actually felt that I
needed to repent and ask God to forgive me for eating them. Now,
maybe you might think I'm taking things too far, but read on while I
make my point.
Why do we boycott companies? It's not
usually due to the product themselves (although in the case of Bud
Light – I'd already been boycotting them because it is literally
the worst tasting beer of all time) It's because we are taking a
stand against the unethical or downright evil standards of the
corporations that make those products.
I got up and threw away the cookies. I
picked up a box of Ritz crackers that I had also bought earlier that
day. Contains a Bioengineered ingredient. I threw that away too. In
the case of Nabisco, who makes both these products – I should have
known better. Their logo is literally the symbol for Baphomet.

Will I eat the bugs? Maybe I will.
Maybe we all will. Maybe we need to decide now if we are going to
take a stand – so we make the right choice when the time comes.
First and foremost, this is a spiritual battle. If I
compromise on cookies today, what will I compromise on tomorrow? Food
is going to get very, very expensive. And the food that we CAN afford
will be tainted to the point that there will be no actual food in it.
The time is now to press into the
Lord and pray for guidance concerning the future and the food we eat.
Check the labels, because they are going to continue to poison us
with whatever bioengineered ingredients they can.
You are going to
have to make a choice. Take a stand or compromise?
Be careful out there.
