What's in Our Food?

The nations of this world appear to be blindly forging ahead in their efforts to modify the pure strains that exist in the animal and plant world. What will be the end result of modifying the pure animal and seed strains that we rely on for food? No one really knows...could man be contributing to the prophesied famine that will occur as foretold in Revelation?
Revelation 6:5
5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”
Genetically Modified (GM) foods were never supposed to enter the consumer market, until they had been tested and proven. What happened? GM products began showing up in consumer foodstuffs and the modified foods were being distributed before consumers were even aware! The full extents of the impact that these GM products have on the human body is not even known! One GM variation of corn actually produces its own pesticide that is contained within each kernel. Can it be healthy to consume something like that? This is only one instance of the type of gene modification that is being done to food crops.
Now the FDA warns that cloned animal products are in US food supplies. What are the long range effects and implications of cloned animal products being introduced into our food supply? Again, who knows? There has not been time for sufficient studies or testing to provide conclusive results either way. God is the creator, God created the plants and animals and all living things. Is man more knowledgeable and wiser than God? Certainly not! God created it all and said it was good. Man is tampering with and modifying what God set in place! Read the story here.
There are some that are concerned enough about protecting the pure seed strains, that a seed vault was constructed in Norway to safely house and protect seeds from a variety of plants. The Norwegian government contributed more than 7 million dollars to the vault, which was constructed in the Arctic and opened in February of this year. Read the story here.
As oil prices continue to fall, Iran is calling for a cut in production to keep prices up. Oil has fallen in recent weeks from a high of $147 a barrel to $107. Venezuela and Iran plan to use $100 as the benchmark to maintain. An Iranian official stated that OPEC members must immediately stop exceeding production quotas, which would amount to an immediate half million barrels per day cut in the oil supply. Read the story here.
A wall dating back to the time of the second temple has been uncovered in Jerusalem. The wall is 2,100 years old and lies just outside the present day walls of the old city. Read the story here.
Until next time...
