20 million affected by English drought

The UK implemented new policies because of drought concerns in England:

London has an undeserved reputation as a rainy city…But this year could see that image shattered in dramatic fashion, with much of southeast England gripped by a serious drought currently affecting about 20 million people.

Restrictions on the use of water were imposed Thursday from the southeast coast to the River Humber in the north and almost as far west as Wales…Driest 2-year period since 1884 http://worldnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/05/11036552-time-to-ditch-the-umbrella-20-million-hit-by-drought-in-southeast-england?lite

And of course, in 2012, many parts of the USA, Mexico, Argentina, Israel, Asia, and Africa. Because of its strident advocacy of portions of the homosexual agenda, it would not surprise me if California is not entering a time of drought.

Droughts and floods contribute to food shortages, higher food prices, and sometimes famines.

Droughts and odd weather problems should serve as a wake-up call. Weather-related troubles with their related food issues, of course, have been biblically expected:

7…And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:7-8).

8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)

Now there is good news as ultimately, God’s kingdom will come and those issues will be gone:

16 They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. (Revelation 7:16-17)

And while that is true, a terrible hour of trial is coming first (Revelation 3:10). And prior to that, we should expect to see higher food prices (cf. Revelation 6:5-6).
