Ten ‘10’ Denotes God’s divine ‘COMPLETENESS’ as to things on EARTH. In Revelation 10, he is opening up the ancient scrolls and ‘little book’ of prophecy that Daniel was told to ‘SEAL UP’ and not write of what was spoken. He was prophetically being told additional things that would transpire or occur ‘in the end of days’ and during the 7 year ‘tribulation.

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the ‘time of the end’: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the ‘time of the end’.

‘Time of the End’:

Revelation ‘10’ And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

2 And he had in his hand a ‘little book open’: (NWN; Daniels ‘little book’ is now being opened by God’s Great Angel of Prophecy) and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven ‘7’ thunders uttered their voices.

(NWN; I ‘discern’ that these are seven ‘7’ other great prophecy angels who are ‘confirming’ that NOW IS THE TIME to OPEN DANIEL’S ‘END TIME’ Book of Future Prophecy.’)

4 And when the seven ‘7’ thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven ‘7’ thunders uttered, and write them not.

5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

(NWN; The Great Prophecy Angel is proclaiming the ‘LAST DAYS or END TIMES’ have come, in no uncertain terms, and that NOW IS THE TIME to reveal prophecy related TO the Last Days or End Times and Tribulation.)

7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh ‘7’ angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

(NWN; Seven ‘7’ denotes God’s divine completion to his plan or purpose for this ‘7^th’ prophecy angel to commence and complete prophecy related to the Last Days and End Times. Think of the Great Prophecy Angel as a ‘General’ and the ‘7th’ prophecy angel as a Major or Colonel or someone of rank who has been given authority to physically ‘begin something or start something.’)

8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open (NWN; notice that the ‘little book’ is OPEN) in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

(NWN; the prophecy angel(s) are HANDING the little book to physically alive men on the earth. In essence, they are handing or ‘transferring’ the ‘little book of prophecy’ to physical men ALIVE on the EARTH during the ‘End Times’ or ‘Last Days.’ God conveys prophecy to Angels who in turn are ‘messengers’ of God’s prophecy to mortal men alive. Angels, throughout the past 6,000 years have been ‘messengers’ for God to mankind.)

9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

(NWN; this is a ‘discernment’ on my part. ‘Take it and eat it’ is a spiritual ‘consumption’ of understanding the End Times and God’s related prophecies to go along with ‘signs of the times.’ It takes ‘7’ knowledge, wisdom, obedience, humility, persistence, prayer and the Holy Spirit’ to work prophecy in man’kind. This is a great and wonderful thing, just like a ‘7’ course meal. However, once the prophecies are apparent ‘consumed and understood’ they will be prone to make one sick to the stomach because of what they foretell. Just like eating a ’7’ course meal will likely make you feel like you could explode. God’s UNFILTERD WRATH poured on evil man’kind who refuse Him, and refuse His Son Jesus Christ and His eternal offer of salvation. Seeing prophecy happen and unfold is a wonderful and miraculous thing. Understanding the implications of seeing prophecy unfold, leaves one’s stomach bitter and sour because of the ‘gastrointestinal storm’ that is coming. Pass-the-antacid-pills, please.)

10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

(NWN; the prophecy angel was prophesying what would happen to anyone who attempted to reveal what was in the ‘little book.’ This verse ‘confirms’ that what was prophesied, did in fact occur and was experienced by those given the task of being Watchmen. This also ‘suggests’ that some men are ‘willingly’ allowing themselves to be Watchmen because they consciously love prophecy (God’s Word) and are completely open and receptive to it.)

11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

(NWN; since this is verse ‘11’ it suggests a WARNING(S). The purpose of prophecy is to inform, proclaim and WARN. It suggests that the Watchmen who proclaim the Word of God, will have their ‘7’ words, letters, videos, blogs, sermons, articles and books proclaim God’s WILL to those during the End Times / Last Days and Tribulation period. God has ALWAYS used Holy Angels and physical men (Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Enoch, and others) to speak on behalf of God. He will do this also through the Tribulation via; 1. Prophecy revealed to mankind via his ‘little book’ to Watchmen, 2. The ‘two witnesses’, ‘lampstands’ or candles who proclaims God’s light to the world for the first 3.5 years of the tribulation, 3. The various Angel warnings given to men to NOT TAKE THE MARK of the BEAST and lastly, 4. The 144,000 Jewish Evangelists who have the ‘seal of God’ in their foreheads (and NOT the mark of the Beast) who proclaim Jesus Christ’s offer of Salvation ONE LAST TIME, before the 7 year tribulation ends.)

Acts 2:17-21 And it shall come to pass ‘in the last days’, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

Joel 2:28-29 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids ‘in those days’ will I pour out my spirit.

Inside Egypt’s plan to tackle the wheat crisis

Cairo turns to local producers to make up for the loss of Russian and Ukrainian wheat – with a carrot-and-stick approach

By  MEE correspondent in Cairo

Published date: 16 March 2022 16:38 UTC | Last update: 7 hours 5 mins ago

Egypt is hoping that a new plan to rely on its own wheat reserves and local production will be enough to cover domestic consumption of the vital grain until 2023.

Facing difficulties in importing wheat because of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine – the two countries are the largest sources of wheat for Egypt – the government now has to increase dependence on local wheat. 

To achieve that goal, Egypt’s plan for self-sufficiency in 2022 is twofold. 

Firstly, the government has offered incentives to local wheat producers to encourage them to sell their produce to the government instead of the private sector. 

Secondly, the minister of supply has issued a decision that regulates the sale of wheat by farmers, with a requirement to sell a certain amount to government-affiliated buyers.

Those who do not comply could be punished by up to five years in jail.

The purchasing authorities specified in the decision are the Egyptian Holding Company for Silos and Storage, the General Company for Silos and Storage, the mill companies affiliated to the Holding Company for Food Industries, and the Egyptian Agricultural Bank.

The decision that was declared on Wednesday, stipulated that whoever owns a crop of wheat for the 2022 harvest season must hand over to the above authorities part of the crop at a minimum of 12 ardebs (a unit of capacity used in Egypt equivalent to 5.62 US bushels) per acre.

It added that in the event of selling any quantities of wheat to the private sector prior to the decision, buyers must deliver the quantities specified in this decision to the authorities with the same terms and conditions that apply to the crop owners.

The decision prohibited the sale of the remainder of wheat resulting from the 2022 harvest season to private entities without a permit from the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade.

The permit must include approval of the quantities and purpose of the purchase, as well as approval on storage places.

The 2022 plan

The Egyptian wheat harvest season is due to start next month and last until the end of June.  

The government needs to bring together around 10m tonnes of wheat to ensure a continual supply of bread for 72 million people registered in the nation’s food rationing system. 

In 2021, Egypt imported around 18m tonnes of wheat, including six million by the government, while the remaining amount was imported by the private sector. 

Almost 80 percent of this wheat came from Russia and Ukraine, 69.4 percent and 10.7 percent respectively.

When the Russia-Ukraine crisis erupted on 24 February, the government said it had four million tonnes of wheat available in its warehouses.  

The minister of agriculture then said the government wants to buy six million tonnes of wheat from local farmers.  

Added to the four million tonnes available already, these six million tonnes will make the 10 million tons of wheat needed for the production of bread for those enrolled in the national food rationing system. 

If it succeeds in collecting this amount of wheat, the government might not need to import additional amounts of wheat from other countries until the end of the year.  

Over the past few weeks, government officials have referred to incentives several times, with the nation preparing for the harvest season. 

During his meeting with a group of ministers on 13 March, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi asked the government to offer incentives to wheat producers who would sell their output to the government.

On Monday, Cabinet spokesman Nader Saad said the government would declare some stimulants to encourage wheat producers to sell their output to it, including providing subsidised fertilisers that would cover their needs during the summer season. 

“There will also be an increase in the price the government will pay to buy wheat from the farmers,” Saad told a local TV channel.

Challenges

But the rising price of wheat and the incentives will add to Egypt’s financial burdens in the wake of the Ukraine crisis. 

On 6 March, Minister of Finance Mohamed Maeet revealed that Egypt would pay an additional $1bn for wheat imports because of the rise in the price of wheat on the international market.

In the first nine months of 2021, the government imported 6.1m tonnes of wheat, coughing up $2.2bn, according to the national statistics authority, Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statistics. 

There are also a number of challenges to the government’s plan.

Egypt has been working hard to increase the space it cultivates with wheat for economic, social, and political reasons. 

Bread is a staple for tens of millions of Egyptians, constituting the dominant part of their diet. 

Successive governments have recognised the importance of the price of bread.

Dependence on foreign sources for wheat supply has always been viewed as an affront to national pride.

This was why successive governments and presidents have used the cultivation of wheat as a key campaign issue. 

This year, Egypt is cultivating 3.7m acres of its farmland – which is around 8.3m acres in total – with wheat.

This is around 415,000 acres more than the space cultivated with wheat in the previous year. 

Sisi’s government has also launched a large number of land reclamation projects, including in Egypt’s vast deserts, to increase the cultivable space and national wheat production. 

However, self-sufficiency in wheat appears to be a dream far from easy to realise. 

Water scarcity is one of the challenges to this self-sufficiency, specialists said. 

“Water has always been the main challenge to achieving self-sufficiency in wheat production,” Alaa Azouz, a senior Ministry of Agriculture official, told Middle East Eye. 

With 55.5bn cubic metres of water from the Nile River its only source of freshwater, every year, Egypt is water-poor already, especially given its growing population of 102 million. 

Egypt’s Nile water share covers less than 50 percent of its needs, and the country has had to depend on underground water and treated water for the remaining amount, according to the government. 

Egypt also faces a problem when it comes to its wheat storage capacity. 

In 2014, the Arab country had a capacity to store 1.5m tonnes of wheat. But the warehouses available at the time were outdated and caused a massive loss of the crop.

In the past few years, Egypt succeeded in increasing its wheat storage capacity to 3.4m tonnes, having constructed a large number of modern silos, investing tens of billions of pounds in this process. 

But this still means that, even if the government succeeds in collecting 5.5 million tonnes of wheat from local producers between April and the end of June, it will not have enough storage for this amount of wheat, specialists said. 

“The wheat storage capacity will be a challenging issue as the government tries to collect as much wheat from local farmers as possible,” Hussein Abu Saddam, the head of the Farmers Union, the independent guild of the nation’s farmers, told MEE.

The government says, however, that it has enough storage capacity for the amounts of wheat it wants to collect.

Ministry of Agriculture spokesman Mohamed al-Qersh, said that apart from the silos operated by his ministry, the Ministry of Supply would also make its warehouses available for the storage of wheat during the harvest season. 

“Together with our silos, these warehouses will be enough to accommodate the amount of wheat we want to buy from the farmers in the harvest season,” al-Qersh told MEE. 

Lack of clarity

Egypt has taken a series of measures in the wake of the Ukraine crisis to ensure a sufficient supply of food to its people.

The measures included a ban on the export of a number of food items, including wheat, fava beans, lentils, and pasta. 

The government also said it would work to diversify the sources of wheat supply.

“We have a list of 14 suppliers, from which we can get our wheat,” Saad, the cabinet spokesman, said on 23 February.

Tens of thousands of tonnes of wheat arrived in Egypt in the past few days from Russia, Ukraine, and Romania, demonstrating the government’s ability to maintain an uninterrupted supply of the essential grain from the international market. 

Nevertheless, the lack of a clear plan looks worrying to some local experts who call on the government to determine its list of alternative suppliers.

“The presence of a clear import plan, including a list of alternative suppliers, will send assurances to the public,” agricultural economics expert Gamal Seyam told MEE.

“This clarity also will stabilise prices in the local market, including the price of bread.”

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).

. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).
