That's in the Bible as well. Revelation 6:5-6

โ€œ(5) And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "Two pounds of wheat for a day's wages, and six pounds of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"

 

It means keep the wine and oil for the "Lords" of the land.

 

There's more >>218807 The Greek word for โ€œmeasureโ€ is choenix, which is equivalent to a dry quart.

 

If you consider the context of the first century A.D., it is clear that John predicted a very dramatic increase in the price of wheat. A person reading Revelation 6:5-6 in the first century A.D. would have read that a denarius would buy only enough wheat to make 1.5 to 1.875 one-pound loaves of bread instead of 25 loaves of bread in the future. This would represent between a 1333% and 1667% increase in price!

The federal minimum wage in the United States is $7.25 an hour (each state has their own minimum wage laws, so Iโ€™ll use the federal minimum wage to make a generalization about the entire country).

The standard work day in the United States is around 8 hours.

A choenix of wheat would theoretically cost $58 ($7.25 x 8) today if the conditions associated with the opening of the third seal were prevalent in the world right now and we assume a dayโ€™s wages could only buy a choenix of wheat. A choenix of wheat costs approximately $0.13 given a $4.37 wheat price per bushel, so prices would need to increase by an astronomical amount.5

In sum, Revelation 6:5-6 does indeed describe extreme famine conditions throughout the world.

 

Whom has enough money to feed the starving children for a whole year? Several people actually.
