Revelation 6:6 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.
Luke 10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in
oil and
wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Same with the word famine always having to do with the unseen eternal the signified understanding
Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a
famine in the land, not a
famine of

a thirst for water, but of

Revelation 11: 3 -4And I will give power unto my
two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a
thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the
two olive trees, and the
two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
