In the May PTNews [Newsletter] Mike addressed the fact that the Bible predicts that the end of this age will encounter a world-wide food crisis. The recent pandemic crisis is a clear warning of this impending disaster. Even before the pandemic started, many voices were sounding the warning of an approaching global famine. In a recent article of Breaking News Israel, David Beasley, the executive director of the World Food Program, said, “The world is heading towards widespread famine ‘of biblical proportions’ due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the chief of the UN’s food relief agency warns. He added that we only have a small window to act before hundreds of millions starve …. Over 30 developing worldwide could experience widespread famine. In 10 of those countries, over 1 million people are on the brink of starvation” (Breaking Israel News, April 26, 2020).
Please read the May PTNews. In the June issue, Mike will share some practical insights from the Bible as to how we should respond to living in these last days. We need to cry out to the Lord for wisdom to know how to live, pray, think, hope, prepare, and plan in these unique days. He has promised to give us wisdom (James 1:5). As COVID-19 has illustrated, we are living in unprecedented times. We need to learn how to biblically “occupy” until Jesus comes.
During this coronavirus crisis, God is in control, and is doing some incredible things in the lives of many people. Recently, someone shared the following video with me. I was so blessed,
I wanted to share it with you. It is about a young man in Ireland who had the virus and saw the Lord reach out to him. He sent him a special servant to touch his heart. Please watch the

I believe that the present circumstances in Israel are preparing the hearts of many Israelis to find salvation in Jesus as their Messiah and Savior. The effects of the coronavirus are having a big impact upon the tiny nation of Israel. Israelis have a great value for the sanctity of human life. Therefore, they have been taking great measures to protect their people for this very contagious virus.
The entire country is on a strict quarantine to remain in their homes. Presently, 25 percent of all the adults in Israel are unemployed. This ongoing condition is bringing many Israelis to their knees emotionally and economically.
Added to this is the political dilemma in Israel. Israel has been without an elected government for one full year and may now be facing an unprecedented fourth election in a little over one year. Furthermore, Israel continues to hear the call for their destruction from Iran and the other terrorist groups on their borders.
As a result of all of this, Israelis are being humbled and spiritually broken. They are seeking for help and many are turning to the Lord. Recently, many Jewish residents in the disputed territories gathered on their balconies to sing Psalm 54. To watch this go to
Looking at our present world conditions, it appears that our Lord could come at any moment. I remind you that the Tribulation Period will begin with a massive Jewish spiritual turning to the Lord for salvation (Ezekiel 39, 7, 22; Joel 2:28-32; Revelation 7). Salvation requires that people humble themselves and turn to the Lord for salvation. Could it be that we are witnessing the work of the Spirit that is preparing Israel for the great moment of salvation of tens of thousands of Jews at the opening of the Tribulation?
Great ready for the shout that will take us out!
