A monetary collapse will happen for sure. The only question is how soon.
We grow some of our own food but we don’t grow enough to be self sufficient. I grow vegetables and have a variety of fruit and nut trees. So Spring through Fall there is always some fruit ripening. Winter would be the really difficult time.
We have a dozen chickens and a bunch of ducks. My wife and I “process” ducks or chickens once in a while. We ate a duck a couple of weekends ago. And of course we collect eggs every day. I have a couple of incubators and have used them to hatch ducklings the last two years but probably won’t this year. But I have the knowledge to do it if there is electricity. Of course I have had a broody hen that has hatched the eggs for me.
I don’t care how many MRE’s someone has, they are eventually going to run out.
We will just have to trust Yahowah to help us through. Manna anyone? I know what to look for.
Exo 16:15 And the children of Yisra’ĕl saw, and they said to each other, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Mosheh said to them, “It is the bread which יהוה has given you to eat.
Exo 16:16 “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need, an omer for each being, according to the number of beings. Let every man take for those who are in his tent.’ ”
Exo 16:17 And the children of Yisra’ĕl did so and gathered, some more, some less.
Exo 16:18 And they measured it by omers, and he who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each one gathered according to his need.
Exo 16:19 And Mosheh said, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.”
Exo 16:20 And they did not listen to Mosheh, so some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Mosheh was wroth with them.
Exo 16:21 And they gathered it every morning, each one according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.
Exo 16:22 And it came to be, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Mosheh.
Exo 16:23 And he said to them, “This is what יהוה has said, ‘Tomorrow is a rest, a Sabbath set-apart to יהוה. That which you bake, bake; and that which you cook, cook. And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until morning.’ ”
Exo 16:24 And they laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded. And it did not stink, and no worm was in it.
Exo 16:25 And Mosheh said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to יהוה, today you do not find it in the field.
Exo 16:26 “Gather it six days, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, there is none.”
Exo 16:27 And it came to be that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none.
Exo 16:28 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “How long shall you refuse to guard My commands and My Torot1? Footnote: 1Torot - plural of Torah, teaching.
Exo 16:29 “See, because יהוה has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for two days on the sixth day. Let each one stay in his place, do not let anyone go out of his place on the seventh day.”
Exo 16:30 So the people rested on the seventh day1. Footnote: The seventh day of the week, the weekly Sabbath, was observed before the Ten Words were given on Mt. Sinai.
Exo 16:31 And the house of Yisra’ĕl called its name Manna. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like thin cakes made with honey.
Exo 16:32 And Mosheh said, “This is the word which יהוה has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it, to keep for your generations, so that they see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim.’ ”
An omer is about a quart. A quart of wheat has about 2000 calories or enough to sustain a person for one day.
Shabbat shalom
