Oil And Food Shortages And It's Relation To Scripture

Present Circumstances

We are reaching closer to ‘peak oil’ with each passing day (1). Analysts predict the inevitable to come very shortly. The future consumption of petroleum in the West may drop and possibly even decrease, but are biofuels really the key to the solution?
European countries have already made a switch to biofuels and are beginning to feel the effects and complications. While it hasn’t resulted in direct food shortages, biodiesel is already causing shortages of vegetable oils (2).

Scripture Possibly Pertaining To This Issue

Revelation 6

And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6 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.

Daniel 5

MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. 27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. 28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

The Question Is What To Do About It?

1 Chronicles 12:32
And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.

Habakkuk 3:2
O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.

James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

I don't know what we can do about this apart from pray or set a website up encouraging others to not waste oil etc. I really think we need to speak out though somehow, maybe on some major website's where loads of people go; just to get the message out - there's bound to be a couple of people that follow and take the advice that's given.

Many thanks for your reply.

Was thinking that maybe God is warning us of things of judgment to come and we could prepare something and ourselves ... similar to Noah!

Blessing to you and your family, Michael

Hmm, ever thought that we might be in the end days... if we are would'nt it be useful if we stocked everything up, so that before we've got supplies and stuff before we can't buy or sell because we need the mark of the beast to buy and sell?

Ive been wondering about this too. Theres a book Im going to get...a Nation In Crisis--The Meltdown Of Money, Government and Religion, by Dr Larry Bates and Chuck Bates. Not plugging anything, but I heard them talk about the book on Prophesy In The News website.
