The Economist published a finding from a Who Article that
said that Obesity more than doubled since 1980,
which caught my attention.
According
to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s OECD’s Obesity Update
Over half of all
adults are overweight. Overweight and obese people are a majority today in the
OECD area. The obesity epidemic continues to spread, and no OECD country has
seen a reversal of trends since the epidemic began. Until 1980, fewer than one
in ten people were obese in OECD countries. In the following decades, rates
doubled or tripled, and are continuing to grow. Across the OECD, 18% of the
adult population are obese.
And the rates grew rapidly in Australia, England and the
US. The US has always been dubbed the
land of plenty and now it is the land of plenty of fat people.
I knew as a sign of
the end times we would see increases in violence, alcohol and drug abuse, but I
never gave a thought to the idea that a sign of the end times would be fat and
obese people. But, this lines exactly
with the increases in drug abuse.
Why?
The Bible states in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 that
in the end times people will be without self-control.
This describes an overeater.
2 Timothy also states that in the end times people will be lovers of
pleasure.
This also describes fat people. They love the pleasure that comes
from eating. I am not talking about people who are truly genetically
predisposed to being overweight, I know that those persons exist. I am talking about those who sacrifice their
bodies to the love of eating and the god of food.
I know that many obese and fat people who can change how
they look are not happy. They eat out of their misery,but they feel such
pleasure in eating and the moment they ingest food they feel better. They
become addicted to food like one becomes addicted to drugs because it is a
pleasure god, and it helps them escape
their bad feelings. Feel good chemicals
are released when we eat certain foods like chocolate or carbohydrates.
There
is nothing wrong in enjoying food. God gave it to us to enjoy, but when you
destroy your body to have more food than your body can handle then it is a
problem. Part of the problem is that we have a corrupt food supply
that is not rich in the foods that God gave us like fruits, vegetables and
whole grains. Instead we have chemical man made variations, which start with
processed sugar, salt and flour, which once processed becomes a poison to the
body. Why were these foods changed by
big business?
Processed foods are tailored to your taste buds and they help big
business sell more of their products. It
is as if Satan himself has tampered with the food supply. Not only are people fatter by processed foods
and become addicted to them, but they also suffer the related health problems
caused by these adulterated foods.
What is surprising about the OECD obese report is that sales
of organic foods, which are natural, whole foods have grown steadily since the
year 2000. Yet society is still getting
fatter. This is because we are in the
end times and fat and obese people are a sign of the end times.
What is great about
the gospel message it does not matter how dark the times become, God still
reigns and Jesus Christ still saves and if you are suffering from within the
food addiction prison house you can get deliverance, which I write about in my
book Free From Captivity, Biblical Secrets to Overcoming Addiction.
While this article and accompanying video might offend many,
including many within the churches I
have to report it because
it is a sure sign that parallels increases in other
excesses and vices that are sure signs that we are living in the end times.
If you liked this information and found it informative:
I have a small request. Many read my website and the
information is free of charge and the only revenue coming in from my articles
are from Google Ads, which amount to shockingly such low amounts- literally
pennies- that you cannot count it as a viable source of revenue without
millions of page hits, which this website being a niche site does not get.
Book sales do not generate the income one would expect due to the
hundreds upon hundreds of books published in every category. I do not charge
fees to read my material because I want the information I provide available to
all. So I am requesting your help.
This site's articles and videos take a lot of time, money
and hard work to produce. Bible Prophecy’s message is an important one
to get out. It is a warning and even more so, it proves the Bible as the
Word of God and opens the door to give the Gospel. If you regularly
