Nostradamus & Bible: Food prices so high that many people resort to cannibalism?

in news •  2 years ago 

"Nostradamus predicted that humanity may face the threat of cannibalism due to a failing economy, writing: "There are no abbots, monks, no novices to teach. Honey will cost much more than candle wax, the price of wheat will be high. Man will be agitated and eat his friend in despair.""

"These words, apparently, predict that the cost of living will only continue to rise in 2023, and leave many hoping that the reference to cannibalism is only metaphorical."

"5And 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. 6And 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."

"Some commentators use this detail to state that Revelation 6:5-6 implies that a dry quart of wheat will cost a person a whole day’s worth of wages.

Some Bible versions go as far as to change the words “A measure of wheat for a penny” (KJV) to “a quart of wheat for a day’s wages” (NIV) in Revelation 6:6.
A few Bible versions and some commentators go as far as to say that **a loaf of bread will cost a person an entire day’s worth of wages**."
