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' (Rev. 6:5-6).
The foreboding call for the rider on the black horse to gallop forth foretells a coming time of world-wide famine'of death from starvation for millions. There will be, at the same time, great riches. The wine will flow sumptuously, and there will be plenty of medicinal and other of life's soothing emollients for living luxuriantly. However, the prophecy indicates a catastrophic division of the haves from the have-nots. The rich will get richer and want for nothing, while the rest of the world goes deeper into earth history's blackest hour of depression.' "
