Iran's Inflation Rate Soars As They Continue To Blaspheme God's People

Iran's "loose cannon" president continues to run his mouth concerning the nation of Israel. Here is a sampling of his latest ranting.

 "The existence of the Zionist regime is an insult to all humanity," Ahmadinejad said. He was addressing worshippers at Tehran University after nationwide pro-Palestinian rallies, an annual event marking Quds (Jerusalem) Day on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan. - Associated Press

Little does Ahmadinejad know that he is belittling the very people that God calls the apple of His eye. There is great peril to all people who curse Israel. The fact that a man like Ahmadinejad could acquire the presidency in a country like Iran is the real "insult to all humanity".

Genesis 12:2-4

King James Version (KJV)
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

Iran's leader continues to curse Israel and his nation is paying the price. Iran's inflation rate is becoming painful to all their citizens. The current inflation rate is slightly higher than 25%! You can read more about this incredible condition here.

The text I just cited concerning blessings and cursings tells us what a gift Israel has been to the nations. It was Israel that God chose to give us the prophets, disciples, apostles, the church, the Bible and most importantly "the Savior"! One only needs to read the pages of history to see how nations have been judged for their poor treatment of the Jew and the nation of Israel. Iran is marching toward their ultimate destruction. The Bible predicted their annihilation centuries ago in the the book of Ezekiel, chapters 38 and 39. The world is perched on the very edge of thermo-nuclear ww3.

When you take into consideration the bizarre and record setting drought, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, solar storms and animal deaths it is hard to deny that we are living in pivotal times. The greatest preparation anyone can make now is to secure their eternal destiny by trusting Christ as Savior. I want to urge you to watch the little 3 minute video in the right sidebar and decide to cast your sin and faith upon Jesus.

The World Food Shortage Crisis Is Being Driven By Record Drought And Pests!

Revelation 6:6

King James Version (KJV)
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.

Right before our eyes we are witnessing a developing world food shortage crisis. The combined inventories of wheat, corn, rice and soybeans will drop 1.8 percent to a four year low before the 2013 harvests. This information is provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They are reporting that crops in the U.S. are in the worst shape in over 24 years. This is bad news and combined with the effect of drought in Europe and epic monsoon rains in India the problems will now escalate even further. In fact, there are reports out of China that their corn crop is being plagued by a historic invasion of "army worms". You can read more about that here.
The Scripture I cited in this article is a warning about extreme food cost inflation that is coming to this planet during the terrible time of God's wrath coming to this earth which is called the Tribulation. The time is coming when hyper-inflation will cause folks to spend a days wages (penny) for a loaf of bread (measure of wheat). Americans have been so spoiled that we think the convenient trip to the grocery store will always be part of our lives but it is becoming more and more evident that bizarre events on this planet are bringing us to a crisis of Biblical proportions.
The Bible tells us that all of those who have trusted Christ as their Savior are not "appointed to wrath" First Thessalonians 5:9. This wrath involves the coming Tribulation and an eternal state called Hell. Those are two of the many reasons that the gospel of Jesus Christ is referred to as "good news".  
The real question is "do you believe we are headed to a crisis and do you believe that you need to make provisions to avoid the calamities"?
Of course, you might consider stockpiling some freeze dried food, storing up potable water and buying silver. I think there is definitely some merit in taking these steps as far as the short term is concerned.  We don't know how much of the hard times we might have to endure until Jesus "raptures" us into glory. But the more pressing matter is the eternal state called Hell. Storing food and commodities will not prepare you for that reality. The only solution for avoiding that place is to trust Christ as Savior. The Bible calls this decision "redemption" or "being saved". 
So what about you, are you saved? Have you made Jesus your Savior? You can do it right now and it would be a good idea to do it now because tomorrow is not guaranteed to any of us. Watch the little video in the right side bar and let me know what you think or if you have any questions. I would be glad to help you avoid the storm that is coming.
