Behold, the days
come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a
famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the
LORD. And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to
the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and
shall not find it:Amos 8:11-12
And the seven years
of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth
was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.And
when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh
for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what
he saith to you, do.And the famine was over all the face of the earth:
and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and
the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.Gen 41:54-56
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.Gen 45:7
There is currently a spiritual
famine on earth and just as it was in the days of old, God has raised
His Joseph's to store up food (His Word) to preserve and sustain all
those that fear Him.
As can be seen in Amos 8:11 above, the famine is not going to be a famine of the Word of the Lord but one of hearing the Words of the Lord meaning the famine is not going to be caused by a lack of the Word but by a lack of desire for
the Word i.e the End Time Joseph's have made the Word that can save
humanity readily available to them but they have no interest in it and
thus remain farmished.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.John 3:20
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.John 7:7
Also note that the people ran to
and fro and north and east etc but did not find the Word. They rejected
and despised the truth that the Joseph's had on offer because it
exposed their sinful ways and because of this, they sought the truth in
the wrong places i.e.they settled for the lies and flatteries that the
false prophets and the world had to offer and that is why they remained
hungry.
And he said, Behold,
I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and
buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.Gen 42:2
Like Joseph's brothers who had
to go down to Egypt before they could partake in the food that he had to
offer, only those who develop interest in the Word that the end time
Joseph's have on offer and 'go down'(make efforts) to seek and eat it
will survive the Famine. All those who reject the food on offer and
settle for lies will perish.
