Wheat Prices Up 50%

Wheat

As I have written earlier this year, the production of wheat has been affected by hot and dry weather in several parts of the world (see Drought: Less Wheat in Russia, Europe, Australia, China, and Argentina).

Now, BBC reports that wheat prices have risen by 50% since late June 2010 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-10851170).

Jesus foretold of a time prior to the start of the Great Tribulation, called the “beginning of sorrows”, where famines would be a factor (Matthew 24:7-8). Might we be getting close to this now?

Some articles of possibly related interest may include:

Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2010, 2011, or 2012? Can the Great Tribulation begin today? What is the “beginning of sorrows”? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord?
Does God Have a 6,000 Year Plan? What Year Does the 6,000 Years End? Was a 6000 year time allowed for humans to rule followed by a literal thousand year reign of Christ on Earth taught by the early Christians? What year may the six thousand years of human rule end? When will Jesus return? 2018 or 2019?
