Here is what I saw inside a Neighborhood Walmart in Hot Springs, Arkansas today. The shelves that normally hold fruit juice was barren. I thank God, however, that everything I was there for was available. How do the grocery stores look in your area?

Hah, it's brewing time! That's why the juice is all gone, the weather is warm enough to ferment again. I got a bit going myself.

Pickings are slimmer than usual at the stores, but still way more crap than I want or need. If there are real food shortages there ain't going to be Doritos and Little Debbie snack cakes, staples will be too precious to use on junk food.

    In Arkansas? In Hot Springs Arkansas? (It's a dry county, and I think their main reference to wine is in the New Testament.) idk - it's the most religious state I've been in, and their idea of food is fried anything, with a coke. But perhaps I have this wrong.

    Alcohol is bought and sold in large quantities in Hot Springs. Alcoholism is a big problem here. The local horse race track attracts gamblers and drinkers.

    I have not consumed a Coke in over a decade and never want their products in my body again. Hot Springs does have natural spring water freely available to the public which has refreshed me many times.

    There are also many unbelievers here. Those of us that know Jesus our Lord and Savior are definitely the minority. But it is the end, and it is the time of the Antichrist, so that is to be expected. But greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world.

    Good to know.

    It's not really the time of the Antichrist, however. We'd know if it were. And as Christians should say about unbelievers:

    It’s the “not me” in thee that makes thee precious to me. —Rachel Davis DuBois

    [–]In-the-clouds[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

    We'd know if it were.

    We that that have eyes to see and ears to hear know what time we are in. Yesterday at the Neighborhood Walmart, two elderly women told me they thought we were in the end and one said she thought the Antichrist was here now. So even out in public, not just online, I hear people agree that it's the time of the end. Most would agree with you, however, and most also do not believe in Jesus, either, or they believe in "another Jesus" and a "false gospel".

    If you want to know what time it is, pray and ask God, the look and listen. He does not want you to be deceived.

    listen

    That's what we Quakers do - sit for an hour and listen

    God isn't telling us what you've mentioned.

    Happy Good Friday, BTW.

    MASS STARVATION IS COMING SOON ENOUGH.

    SOCKS IS BLIND.

    [–]skank 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    SINCE THE DAY THAT JESUS DIED, PEOPLE HAVE THOUGHT THAT THIS ANTICHRIST IS EITHER COMING OR HE IS ALREADY HERE.

    WHY WOULD SOCKS THINK THAT SHE KNOWS WHEN THE ANTICHRIST IS COMING?

    SOCKS DOESNT KNOW.

    Good Friday... Yes, I remember that as being the day when the world crucified the Lord Jesus Christ, which is not a happy event to me but bitter-sweet. I am thankful for his sacrifice for our sakes, but sorry mankind is so lost that it was necessary for him to die for us. And it was the government, religious leaders, and soldiers of that time that carried out the public execution of an innocent man. Not much has changed.... as those with power today continue to kill, steal, and destroy. And most people go along with it, or even support it. Repent if you want to live.

    Repent if you want to live.

    For what reason must I repent?

    Am I currently dead?

    Hold on, So there's a time when to brew. I brew all year round and anything from beer to brandy.

      I have also noticed pasta in low supply for months. Lately, I have ordered organic pasta online through Amazon, which I could not find locally.

      Fresh fruit sells out quickly in UK shops, since BREXIT.

      Not if my 2 horse town's only grocery/Coop runs out of blueberries 24 hours after getting them

      Similar. And I find it strange that the things that I buy are always there, and have not moved up as much in price as the things the general public buys.

      [–]In-the-clouds[S] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      strange that the things that I buy are always there

      It looks like God is blessing you. He doesn't wish for any to perish, and he wants you to have the food you need. When people are rebellious toward him and live selfishly, not regarding the lives of their neighbors, he sends judgment. A man's end in this life is determined by how he lived. If you share food with the poor, God repays you for that kindness.

      Jeremiah 15:2b Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.

      It could be that famine is not for you.

      John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

      Thanks for sharing your observation.

      Fruit juice isn't food.

      [–]binaryblob 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      Shelves are full (of unhealthy foods) here. For the fruit, it's probably made with pesticides that will kill me in 30 years. Same for the vegetables. Regulation exists, but has no teeth. As long as not too many people die too fast, it's considered A-OK.

      The people that built this food system are fucking morons.

      You live in the fucking dessert and you ain't got no juice. Maybe your neighbors know something you don't.

      Hot Springs is not a desert. We are surrounded by lakes, receive plenty of rainfall, and have natural spring water bubbling up out of the ground. God has blessed this area.

        The currency of the mark of the beast which will soon be required to buy or sell anything will not save you or anyone else, because it costs the person their most prized possession: their soul.
