The world is fast approaching a “climate apartheid” where only the wealthy can afford basic resources in the face of fatal droughts, famine and heatwaves, while the rest of the world suffers. Revelation 6:5-6 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Saudi Arabia buys 315,000 tonnes of hard wheat. ‘A measure of wheat for a penny.’ ‘Only the best for the beast, at the quality he requires.’ The coming food grain apartheid.

Saudi Arabia’s main state grain agency bought 315,000 tonnes of hard wheat in a tender, the Saudi Grains Organization (SAGO) said on Monday.
The wheat is for shipment during September, SAGO said in a statement.
The wheat purchased was of European, North American and Australian origin at the seller’s option, SAGO director Ahmad al-Fares said.
The tender had been for wheat with 12.5 per cent protein content.
The wheat was purchased in five consignments for shipments to the ports of Jeddah and Dammam, Fares said.
Of the total, 190,000 tonnes are for Jeddah port and 125,000 tonnes for Dammam.
“I think wheat from the Baltic Sea region is likely to be used to source the Jeddah shipments,” one European trader said. “This could include wheat from Germany, the Baltic States and Poland.”
“The Baltic region as a whole is looking price competitive for the quality Saudi Arabia requires.
