Mexico’s drought blankets the nation.

“Mexico is being battered by its worst drought in seven decades, which has devastated farm life and is expected to continue into next year.  The lack of rainfall has affected almost 70 percent of the country,” with the northern states experiencing the most severe drought.  “The government has cut its forecast for corn production [the staple crop] two times in 2011,” and nearly half-a-million cattle have died in desert-like pastures.  The deputy director of Mexico’s National Water Commission has noted that since the dry season is now underway, the nation’s hopes lie with rainfall next June.  Corn and bean production are down drastically and if the weather does not change, Mexico will be forced to increase its food imports (Drover’s Cattle Network, November 25, 2011).

End-time prophecies highlight the fact that severe drought and famine will devastate the earth and result in massive starvation someday (Luke 21:11; Revelation 6:5-8).  The current drought in Mexico and the U.S. Southwest is just a foretaste of what is to come.  In the days ahead the world will see the sad results of God’s prophesied punishment for disobedience leveled against the Israelite-descended nations and the rest of the earth.
