Investing In Food

One of the things that has made  the United States a great nation is its God given ability to be a mass producer of food, due mainly to the  largest fertile valley  in the world, the Mississippi River valley with its mighty river flowing down through the middle of it like a huge strengthening backbone and its many tributaries flowing into it like blood vessels,  providing life. Without it we would be a desert stretching form sea to shining sea with the exception of our limited coastal regions east of the Allegheny mountains and west of the Rocky mountains, crowded with three hundred million people in isolation, a nation divided,  completely depending on food imports of the world to survive. But thanks be to God we are blessed with the massive Mississippi River valley and the abundant ability to produce food.
 
Why should it be more than a thought in the minds of men that one hungry soul should exist in our blessed nation, yet it is. This massive Mississippi River valley has the capacity to sustain a much larger mass of people that the present.  Hungry people are coming, bring their families with them.  It will take more than walls to restrain the hungry.  Who can resist the will of God, that all men be filled. Far be it from the righteous to resist the poor.  The scriptures state that whosoever has pity on the hungry is lending to the Lord and He will repay.  How shall he repay.  He shall open up the windows of heaven and pour out blessings that are too large to receive upon our great land.  The Mississippi River valley has been described in song as, Amber waves of grain having purple mountain majesties over looking its fruitful plain. It is the life of America.        
 
It is possible that food will bring a higher price that gold in the end times.  There is but so much land that is capable of producing food on the earth.  Environmentalists are expressing concern about the health of our oceans today.  Rivers and streams are being trashed with environmental toxins daily. The scriptures state there will be great famines on earth before the return of Christ.  World populations continue to grow. Poverty continues to grow. 
 
Today, there are seed companies with plans to dominate the world's seed supply. They have technology to make GMO seeds that will not produce reusable seeds. These seeds are called "Terminator Seeds".  Farmers would have to purchase new seeds each planting season from seed companies instead of saving their own seeds for replanting.   
 
The  fight for world food control goes on.  All of these things add up to high food prices and signs of the  one world government that the Bible speaks about before the return of Christ. We are told in the scriptures to not be troubled over these end time signs.  God has always provided for a nation that listens to and follows him.   As we continue to open our hands wide to the poor this nation will continue to walk in the abundance of God.  
 
 


A Good Time To Invest In Food
 
It makes good sense to invest in food companies (not seed companies) that have strong balance sheets, who are involved in the worldwide food market, especially in China. Investing in food will be one path to take as we get closer to the return of Christ. 
 
Remember back to 2008 when oil prices hit $147.  What happened to rice?  Rice also hit record highs, almost tripling  in price in six months, and was  rationed by some stores. 
 
One of the main objectives of extremist/radical groups of the mideast and worldwide, is to keep oil pirces high.  From now on, food will be a big time player.  Seeing the risk, finding the opportunity and investing in end times food would be a wise move in my opinion. Do your homework, study commodities, learn which food companies to invest in and be led by the Holy Spirit.
