Number Two is:
When you go to the grocery store,
just get an extra can of beans. (@24:22)(Daystar, “Are Food Shortages Coming? Jimmy Evans Talks Famine & the Last Days | Full Episode,” YouTube, Jul 18, 2022, https://youtu.be/BZe4n_J2sIQ?t=1403)
Reality Check
A “few extra cans of beans” is a joke. Neither this man nor the host has any idea what’s going on in the real world—no offense. I guess their ministries didn’t skip a beat when the election was stolen or during the COVID lockdowns.
This is what people in the real world have been dealing with already for 2+ years:
- Job losses
- Fuel prices
- Housing crises
- Rental and home prices skyrocketed
- Increase in living expenses
- Widespread homelessness
- Unexpected deaths or vaccine injuries
To all those people, what part of:
- Just get an extra can of beans (@24:22)
had any relevance to the millions suffering these past 2+ years? Only:
- Just get an extra can of beans (@24:22)
To be fair, at least they addressed the topic, no doubt because plenty of their viewers have raised the question. But instead of a smooth-talking alleviator, a better thing to have done would have on EXPERTS in:
- The real world
- Real-world solutions
The expression “talk is cheap” has relevance here because no real-world solutions were offered for the past and current crisis millions are suffering from RIGHT NOW, and no real-world solutions were offered for the additional MILLIONS just around the corner.
For every hour of talk, there should be a mandatory one hundred hours of work to even begin to make a dent in the current crisis. And, one thousand hours to even begin to make a dent in the coming crisis.
Where are the parallel CHRISTIAN products and services just waiting in the wings for when the economy collapses that are sustainable long-term? Anything? So the Christian alternative to the mark of the beast will be what for every product and service now enjoyed??
There will be Hell to pay for the talkers:
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? CAN FAITH SAVE HIM?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in PEACE, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding YE GIVE THEM NOT THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE NEEDFUL TO THE BODY; what doth it profit? (James 2)
