We definitely need to be prepared. I'm tempted to go buy more....
And at the rate this president is spending money (which isn’t really there) do we think the gov’t will be able to give real money to people or companies to provide food or housing? It’s not something I would want to put my trust in.
The Pharaoh’s prepared for a 7 year famine as Joseph predicted. The people and their local chieftains and governors did not.
Are we headed into a similar famine?
Who is our modern day Joseph?
Biblical record:
So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. The Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields, because the famine was too severe for them. The land became Pharaoh’s, and Joseph reduced the people to servitude, from one end of Egypt to the other. (Gen 47:20-21)
“You have saved our lives,” they said. “May we find favor in the eyes of our lord; we will be in bondage to Pharaoh.” (Gen 47:25)
Archeological findings:
The local chieftains found their own grain silos exhausted and were forced to sell their land holdings to the Pharaoh. The power of the governors of Egypt was broken and Pharaoh became the sole authority in Egypt — the evidence for this is that the grand tombs of the governors of Egypt ceased to be built. This signals the diminution of the authority of a semi-independent nobility and the return of political control to the kingship. (pg 342)
I know not what course others may take - but as for me, I will prepare to maintain my liberty - or die trying.
Sorry for the modification of Patrick Henry...
