The 128-point index represents the first time global food prices have risen significantly without a clear catalyzing crisis - unlike previous spikes tied to COVID-19 or the Ukraine war. This 'stealth inflation' in food commodities, occurring during relative peace, suggests a systematic manipulation of food security that aligns with prophetic warnings about controlled scarcity.

📰 What Happened
The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization reports global food prices have risen to 128 points as of June 2025, marking a 28% increase from the 2014-2016 baseline period. While down from the March 2022 peak of 160 points following Russia's Ukraine invasion, prices are up 6% year-over-year and 35% above 2019 levels. The increase follows recovery from COVID-19 disruptions and changes in Ukraine's grain export routes after the Black Sea Grain Initiative's end.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The 28% baseline increase in food prices reveals a deceptive economic system that obscures true scarcity through complex metrics and financial instruments. The FAO's price index system itself represents a form of spiritual deception warned about in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10, where economic 'signs and wonders' mislead people about resource availability. The transition from crisis-driven spikes (COVID-19, Ukraine war) to steady increases during peace fulfills 1 Timothy 4:1-2's warning about 'deceiving spirits' that gradually normalize control over basic necessities.
