The drought will spread and cover thousands of square
miles. Smaller dry zones in various parts of the nation
will also develop. Thousands of acres are already in
dust-bowl condition.

Runaway Food Prices
The threat of major food shortages in the United
States will cause a wave of hoarding. Stockpiling of
food staples will lead in turn to runaway inflation of
food pricer Flour, dried foods, sugar, rice, beans, and
canned foods will skyrocket in price. Supermarket
shelves will be emptied of staple items. A wave of fear
buying will cause shortages in other markets. The mass-
es who were purchasing high-priced items will go wild
trying to stockpile bare essentials.

Alas, this terrible day of punishment is on the
way. Destruction from the Almighty is almost
here! Our food will disappear before our eyes; all
joy and gladness will be ended in the Temple of
our God.
(Joel 1:15,16LB)

Killer Instincts for Survival
A tidal wave of fear always strikes when the populace
begins to realize the dire consequences a drought-
stricken nation faces. Animal instincts of survival
surface and guns and ammunition sell at a record
pace. The price of dried foods will eventually more than
quadruple. People will be prepared to kill in defense of
their hoarded food supplies.
Drought will, at the same time, be spreading through-
out provinces of China and Russia. Russia will be faced
with near-famine conditions and will try to rape Cana-
dian and Australian wheat crops. The United States will
eventually be forced to reduce all foreign sale of grains.
