Eurozone inflation reaches record 8.1% in May
31 May 2022
Inflation in the 19 countries of the eurozone soared to 8.1% in May from 7.4% in April, figures showed on Tuesday, exceeding previous expections.
Prices have risen sharply in the past year, initially because of supply chain problems after the COVID pandemic but subsequently because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. …
Fears of an upward price spiral
The latest figures mean headline inflation is now 4 times the ECB’s 2% target, and there are fears that the rapid rise in underlying prices could see inflation become embedded.
That means prices would continue to spiral as prices and wages become locked into a pattern of mutual escalation.
The release of the figures coincided with data showing that France’s economy shrank in the first quarter. https://www.dw.com/en/eurozone-inflation-reaches-record-81-in-may/a-61983683

US Wheat Crop Hit by Dry Winter Then Soggy Spring, Adding to Global Tightness
May 31, 2022 North Dakota farmer Dwight Grotberg wanted to plant more wheat this spring to capitalize on soaring prices since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine cut grain exports and left the world short of millions of tons of wheat supply.
Heavy rain has prevented Grotberg from planting as much wheat crop as he wanted and is hampering farmers across the state, the top U.S. grower of spring wheat.
Instead of boosting supply, North Dakota expected to plant wheat over the smallest share of its farmland on record, according to government data.
The United States is the world’s fourth-largest wheat exporter and problems are hitting output at a time when the world can ill afford to lose any more supplies of the staple grain amid a global food crisis.

Nearly 2000 years ago, Jesus taught:
7…And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:7-8)
We seem to be in the time Jesus called “the beginning of sorrows.” Notice a message related to the third horseman of Revelation and the price of wheat:
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)
Wheat prices are prophesied to go even higher in the future. Will wheat price cause people to turn to God? Or will they be determined to continue to turn further away from biblical morality?
Related to this, 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.
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).
But prior to Jesus’ return, “there will be great tribulation” as Jesus foretold (Matthew 24:21).
The sorrows and troubles are just beginning and will get much worse. Hopefully, people will wake up. While God may end the droughts, the Bible shows that He sometimes does use weather as a warning. Various lands, in my view, are being warned.
