We were just settling in for bed when I read the last news scroll on Fox News—and it gave me chills.
The UK will now be charging by weight for food items such as eggs and bread rolls, rather than by the number of items in a package. Does this remind you of a certain Scripture?
Rev 6:6-"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."
When a laborer went into the field to labor, during the time of Jesus’ walk on the earth, the standard wage for a day’s labor was a penny a day. Of course this is not a “penny” of our day, but a coin of that day. The value of it must be measured it what it represented – Payment for a day’s labor. The rich ate wheat bread. The poor ate barley bread. A “measure” was approximately what a man with large hands could hold in his two hands cupped together. A measure would make a small loaf of bread.
This verse obviously represents sky-high inflation, but see that it shows a measurement of wheat for which one is to be charged!!
Look up, look up- our redemption draweth nigh!
