ANP: Experts Warn ‘Major Food Security Threat’ In 2023 With 4th Generation Farmer Insists It Will Be ‘Worse Than’ 2022 – Food Prices Will Never Go Back To What They Were In 2020
Record 13.3% UK food inflation raises fears of ‘another difficult year’ https://t.co/Dv55JV248b #Freshtalk #FoodInflation pic.twitter.com/aV8XKHtZtZ

We are seeing many reports related to food shortages, food insecurity and food price inflation.
Here is a report from Time related to the UK:
Food inflation in U.K. stores jumped to a record high last month with retailers warning of another year of elevated prices.
The British Retail Consortium said Wednesday that food inflation accelerated to 13.3% in December, from 12.4% the previous month, reaching an all-time high for the index, which started in 2005. …
“2023 will be another difficult year for consumers and businesses as inflation shows no immediate signs of waning,” said BRC Chief Executive Officer Helen Dickinson. She cited ongoing pressures from the war in Ukraine pushing up the cost of animal feed, fertilizer and energy.
The cost of fresh food rose 15% from a year earlier, also a record high for the BRC, up from 14.3% in November. https://time.com/6244408/uk-food-inflation-record-high/
How bad might it get for the UK? The old Worldwide Church of God published the following:
The black horseman’s future ride will reduce the proud faces of white America, Europe, and the British Common wealth into the blackened skin of starvation such as now afflicts the vast majority of mankind. (Alexander G. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Ambassador College Press, Pasadena (CA), 1973, p. 31)
And, of course, the UK is not the only area of the world facing food price inflation.

Experts Warn ‘Major Food Security Threat’ In 2023 With 4th Generation Farmer Insists It Will Be ‘Worse Than’ 2022 – Food Prices Will Never Go Back To What They Were In 2020
January 2, 2023 …
2023 is not going to be all rainbows and flowers for America.
We are warned that food inflation is still getting worse, with a farmer from TN asserting there will be a “major food security threat,” in 2023, as we see predictions of food shortages that are expected, some the same as we have seen and some new shortages expected, as prices are also expected to continue to rise, while overall (not just food) inflation is touted as going down.
WARNINGS OF FOOD INFLATION IN 2023
In 2022 we saw food prices spike in a manner not seen in decades, with eggs rising 43 percent from October 2021 to October 2022. That is on top of the prices increases from 2020 to 2021.
In 2023, we will be seeing the affects of the nightmare scenarios that farmers were forced to deal with in 2022, specifically their costs for fertilizer, and the drought conditions towards the west, and to a lesser degree throughout the country.
The USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), states clearly on their website that “Food Price Inflation Pressures to Continue in 2023.” …
Reuters reports that “Food inflation is set to spill over into 2023.”
Key points:
• Drought, too much rain, war and energy costs look set to curb global farm production again next year.
• Rice and wheat stores likely won’t be replenished in the first half of 2023.
• Edible oil supplies are down because of adverse weather in Latin America and Southeast Asia.
• Flooding in Australia and severe drought in Argentina will shrink key wheat harvests and availability in coming months.
• And a lack of rainfall in the U.S. Plains could dent supplies for the second half of the year.
• Rice prices are expected to remain high because of duties imposed by main exporter India. …
At the same time the majority of the MSM, along with the Biden regime keeps insisting things are getting better, while they highlight a slight lessening of overall inflation, ignoring the unprecedented continued rise in food costs across the board.
Now ask yourself: “Self, have I ever seen food prices go down?” …
One thing to keep in mind for 2023, is that everything that happened to the food supply chain in 2022, will be felt this year, as crops produce less, bird flu (chicken and eggs), plant viruses (lettuce) and the destruction of an unprecedented amount of food plants and processing facilities. …
BOTTOM LINE
Between food inflation, shrinkflation, energy costs and shortages, 2023 will, unfortunately, be worse due to the crises that hit the food supply chain, the Russia/Ukraine war, crop damages, avian flu, and the destruction of food processing plants in 2022. …
Stay safe and stay prepared. https://allnewspipeline.com/2023_Major_Food_Security_Threat.php
Here is another pessimistic report:
The Food Crisis Of 2023 Is Going To Be Far Worse Than Most People Would Dare To Imagine
The global food crisis just continues to intensify, and things are going to get really bad in 2023. As you will see below, two-thirds of European fertilizer production has already been shut down, currency problems are causing massive headaches for poor nations that need to import food, global weather patterns continue to be completely crazy, and the bird flu is killing millions upon millions of chickens and turkeys all over the planet. On top of everything else, the war in Ukraine is going to restrict the flow of agricultural and fertilizer exports from that part of the world for a long time to come, because there is no end to the war in sight. In essence, we are facing a “perfect storm” for global food production, and that “perfect storm” is only going to get worse in the months ahead.
Global hunger has been on the rise for years, and the UN World Food Program is warning that we are heading for “yet another year of record hunger”…
“Haiti is facing a humanitarian catastrophe,” a top UN official said.
But most people in the western world won’t care until they are going hungry themselves.
Unfortunately, that day may be a lot closer than a lot of people ever imagined.
Right now, a whopping two-thirds of all fertilizer production capacity in Europe has already been shut down because of the skyrocketing price of natural gas …
the Federal Reserve is actually making the global food crisis worse by hiking rates.
But they are going to keep doing it anyway.
At the same time, global weather patterns continue to go completely haywire. 10/16/22 http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/the-food-crisis-of-2023-is-going-to-be-far-worse-than-most-people-would-dare-to-imagine/
Droughts, floods, rising fertilizer costs, rising energy costs, governments printing up money (and various other governmental policies), Russia’s ‘special military operation’ into Ukraine, etc. are all current factors.
Jesus, in both the 24th chapter of Matthew and the Book of Revelation in chapter 6, lists a sequence of events including war, famine, and pestilences.
Here is some of what Jesus said:
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:6-8)
Famines and civil unrest, such as what Michael Snyder predicted for 2023 are consistent with Jesus’ words.
That being said, we are getting to the end of the 6,000 years that God has allowed humans to rule themselves, which will soon be followed by the 1,000-year reign of Christ. Pray for Jesus to return and God’s Kingdom to come (Matthew 6:10).
Notice that the ride of third horseman of the Apocalypse results in scarcity, inflation, and famine. Revelation 6:5-6 indicates that there will be food, but that it will be quite expensive (food-price inflation).
5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” (Revelation 6:5-6)
Some will thus die as they will not be able to afford it, while others will survive but struggle.
Related to some food matters, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Did you know that the sanctioned lands of Russia and Belarus are dominant suppliers of ingredients used in modern fertilizers? Are you aware that the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that 33% of the farmland in Ukraine may not be planted and/or harvested because of Russia’s ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine? Are parts of the world like Sudan, Lebanon, and the USA experiencing food price inflation? What about impact on the Palestinians in Gaza? Could any of this help lead to the rise of the King of the South? What are some factors that look to increase rice prices? Did Jesus warn of wars and troubles? What are three foods that Ukraine exports that are associated with the shortages and food price inflation of the ride of the third horseman of the Apocalypse? What does Jesus say His followers should do? Dr. Thiel addresses these matters in this video.
Here is a link to the video: Russia, Ukraine, Food, & the Ride of the 3rd Horseman of the Apocalypse.
Expect more food inflation. And yes, there will be famines as well.
Yes, it is also wise to take physical steps:
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,
7 Which, having no captain,
Overseer or ruler,
8 Provides her supplies in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest.
9 How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep —
11 So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man. (Proverbs 6:6-11).
All who can afford it should, just for emergencies, have a week or two worth of food and water in case of emergencies and supply cutoffs. God’s statement about ants is intended to tell us to take proper physical steps.
As far as horsemen go, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
These Signs of the 4 Horsemen Have Begun
Are we at the time of the ride of at least some of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse? If so, are many prophecy watchers missing signs associated with them? History shows that authoritarian totalitarian regimes tend to arise after famines and/or pestilences. Those are events associated with three of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Could the beginning of sorrows, and the associated ride of the first horseman of false ecumenical religion, have started in the Fall of 2009? What is the significance of this rider having a bow? Is Satan the prince of the power of the air? Did Dr. Thiel warn of a prophetic threat of a “novel” coronavirus back in 2013? Could COVID-19 been related to the taking away the peace from the earth that is associated with the ride of the red horse, the second horsemen of war? What are some of the ramifications of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict and the opening of the second seal? Was Amos inspired to write that God does nothing without revealing it to his servants the prophets? Who warned of these matters? The ride of the third horse, the black horse of famine and food price inflation–specifically wheat, barley, edible oils, and wine. Since Ukraine is a major exporter of the first three, could this, as well as fertilizer shortages, have anything to do with the ride of that horseman? The pale horse of the fourth seal mentions one-quarter of humankind being subject to being killed by the sword, hunger, and pestilence–will this be a factor in the rise of the Beast of Revelation 13? Is persecution associated with the start of the Great tribulation and the rise of the Beast? Why is the Beast going to be in charge of a European-based empire? Will the opening of the first four seals and the starts of the rides of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse get Europe to reorganize such as is prophesied in Revelation 17:12-13? What does Jesus say you should do? Dr. Thiel addresses these matters and more in this video.
Here is a link to our video: These Signs of the 4 Horsemen Have Begun.
Related mainly to food issues, we also put together the following related video:
3rd Horseman of the Apocalypse and Food
There are reports about food price inflation around the world. While it is worsening in many areas, some believe it will improve in 2023. Instead, could prices continue to rise in 2023 and get much worse in 2024 and thereafter? What are the causes of food price inflation? Is there any connection between weather, government policies, fertilizer prices, energy costs, economic sanctions and food price inflation? What are we seeing in reports from the United Kingdom, Hungary, and South Africa? What about impacts from Russia’s ‘special military operation’ into Ukraine? Could EU and/or USA policies be effecting any of this? Is the ‘black horse’ the one associated with famine, food shortages, and food price inflation in the Book of Revelation? Are there any physical lessons we can learn from ants according to the Book of Proverbs? What are some spiritual steps we should take according to Jesus? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these matters and more.
Here is a link to our video: 3rd Horseman of the Apocalypse and Food.
Remember that Jesus said:
34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:34-36)
