Chapter 7: Prophecy 5
Number Five: Revelation 6.
Videos have emerged from Sudan showing scenes almost too horrifying to process.
Civilians eating grass just to stay alive.
And here's what's truly chilling.
This could be connected to one of the horsemen of the apocalypse that apostle John saw in his vision.
Sudan's civil war has raged for years now, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake.
The armed forces are locked in battle with the rapid support forces, and the result is utter ruin.
Cities like Cartoum and Senna have been reduced to rubble.
Senna's main hospital was destroyed, leaving thousands of people with no access to medical care whatsoever.
The numbers are staggering.
Over one hundred fifty thousands (150,000) civilians have died.
Ten (10) million people have been driven from their homes.
Twenty-five (25) million depend on meager food rations just to survive.
Every single day, children are dying from malnutrition.
The UN has made it official.
This is the worst humanitarian crisis on the planet.
But out of all these statistics, there's one that should send chills down your spine.
In Cartoum, the capital, wheat prices have skyrocketed by 300%.
A simple loaf of bread costs the equivalent of a full day's wages.
Think about that.
An entire day of work for a single piece of bread.
Now, listen carefully to what the Apostle John wrote nearly 2,000 years ago in the book of Revelation. " And I looked, and behold, a black horse. He who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand, and I heard a voice saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, a dinarius."
The coin mentioned in the original text was precisely that, a laborer's wage for one day of work.
The rider of the black horse in Revelation 6 is the rider of famine.
The scales in his hand are not a symbol of justice, but of extreme rationing.
And the price he demands, a full day's labor for just one day's food, is exactly what is happening today in Sudan.
And this leads us to a troubling conclusion.
If the black horse is already riding, it means the other horsemen can't be far behind.
