There will be powerful earthquakes, famines and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky. -- Luke 21:11
Famine in Israel
"Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his own country. But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Eli'jah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land; and Eli'jah was sent to none of them but only to Zar'ephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow." -- Luke 4:24-26
