Revelation 6:5-6

Revelation 6:5-6 are the key verses to focus on when trying to quantify the end time cost of food. These verses give us information about the price of food items like wheat and barley:

“(5) And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. (6) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.” (Revelation 6:5-6)

The Greek word for “measure” is choenix, which is equivalent to a dry quart.

A dry quart of wheat is approximately enough to make 1.5 to 1.875 loaves of one-pound bread or the average amount of bread a person living in the Roman Empire ate per day.[1]
Meanwhile, the Greek word for “penny” is denarius, which was a coin that was used during the time of the Roman Empire.
