dreams and droughts
Several years ago I was "collecting" dreams and visions people have had regarding the last days. The interpretation of some were definitely up for debate. Others seem fairly plain and left little to figure out.
In a couple dreams that I've read, the person saw animals coming into the urban areas. Many of these would not normally do so. Even so-called "normal" behaviors were not observed in the dream.
If someone is interested, I can take the time to look up the dreams, but for this post, here's an article that intrigued me.
It's titled, "Rattlesnakes, bears are everywhere in California now because of epic drought"
In this article, rattlers and bears are going into urban areas in search of water. And it may be that other predatory animals will start moving in when the prey also become more prevalent in people-areas because the prey is looking for water as well.
All of this goes back to the visions that John Koyle had. I've posted several times on this. The summary is he saw a severe drought hit America. I believe the famine was also worldwide.
In the US is began in the southwest and spread across the nation. The first year dry-land crop reduction was 25% below normal. The second year, 50% below. The third year it was 75% drop. The 4th year was really bad. The 5th year was bad as well, but mostly because there was so little seed to plant. The 6th year saw a little improvement, and the 7th was a little better with the drought/famine ending.
Because Koyle never recorded any of his visions, all we have are pieces of what others recorded. Before the drought there was to be a big market crash, which was supposed to start in the fall. Also, the spring before the first drought year was supposed to be a wet one.
Another sign the drought was coming was a long, hot, dry summer. I believe this was supposed to be the sign of the first year of the drought. But, some interpretations have this as the summer before the drought/famine begins.
In any case, at least in Utah and much of the west, this summer began early, and it got hot and dry quick. It doesn't even seem like we had much of a spring.
Koyle did say that food could still be purchased the first year. The second year would be harder. By year three it would be very difficult. He did say there'd be plenty of money available, just not extra food.
If you're not getting food storage, it's a great idea to do so. Even if a long-term drought isn't on the verge of happening, food storage is insurance you can eat.
In a drought/famine, would you rather have plenty of food or plenty of money?
Here's a hint. Food.
Another hint. Get extra food, supplies, and materials that would be valuable to barter with. If you have lots of extra, you might just be able to trade it for money or other valuables that would be worth something after the drought years. Just don't let people know you have extra or you'll become a target.
If people know you have extra, you'll be forced or coerced into "sharing" for the greater good. You'll be attacked and villainized for being a greedy hoarder, for not caring about the starving (and they'll use children to make you feel extra guilty).
There are lots of people who earn a whole lot more money than I do. But I don't buy the toys, gadgets, gizmos, and other devices. I don't go out to eat a lot. I don't go to concerts, sporting events, etc. I rarely go out to watch a movie in a theatre. If I choose to be prepared, that is my choice. If you choose to spend money on things that will have no value in a long-term emergency (such as a drought) that is your choice, and your consequences.
The biggest problem is people want to be free to choose, but they don't want the consequences of their choices. They want to be given what they want, when they want it. They don't want to make sacrifices. They don't want the responsibility or accountability.
I'll feel bad that I don't have more to share. But what little I have is for my family. They are my responsibility. I am accountable to God if I do not provide for my wife and children.
I think it would be a horrible feeling to see my children starving and realize that my poor choices, the thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars spent on toys, electronics, recreation, athletics, etc. are what caused the suffering. And to think that if I had spent some of that money on food storage and preparations then my children would have something.
Any parent who is not prepared, at least for short-term emergencies (I'm talking at least 90 days), needs to repent and get prepared.
