What is a dearth?
- Dearth "a scarcity or lack of something.' From the old English "dirth" meaning a lack of, or insignificant amount.
synonyms: lack, scarcity, shortage, shortfall, want, deficiency, insufficiency, inadequacy, paucity, sparseness, scantiness, rareness; absences
Any many countries there shortages due to shutdowns of the different economies, production and supply line interruptions just like we saw during the decline and fall of the Roman empire.
Many people relied upon they the government institution for they had developed an appetite for benefits and aid often in the form of free bread provided by governments that exercised authority one over the other.[1]
Bureaucracy, inflation, and corruption lead to failure and famine, followed by disease and crime and eventually civil unrest and sociatal collapse.
The Greek dearth
- In the Greek scripture we find the word limos[2] translated dearth but more commonly translated :'famine and is defined in the concordance as ar "scarcity of harvest, famine".
It was famine that brought Israel into the bondage of Egypt. But there was a more dangerous famine of the soul that would degenerate the people into perfect savages ushering in tyranny
A shift in thinking
At that time in history there had been a major shift in the way people thought about calamities and disasters and the remedies formerly relied upon by free societies.
The way in which the people provided for the daily care of the needy of their society sets the pattern and practice both individual charity within communities and during famines or dearths or major calamities of wars, earthquakes, and floods etc..
Historians like Polybius warned 150 years before the birth of Jesus that these changes in the mechanisms of social the structure and culture would alter the course of history by degenerating the character of society and the people themselves.
This inevitably begins a political process directing the outcome of their political landscape and diminishes personal liberty.[3]
The loss of liberty and the break down of morality and the family would bring about calamitous consequences that the people and their leaders often remain blind to until comes upon them like their in the night.
Shifting back
John the Baptist explained the solution for the ill effects of those social and religious changes from a network of fervent charity to legal charity undermines the fabric of society.
When the early Christians faced shortages of food or other needs they provided provisions to cover those shortages through charity as taught by John the Baptist and Jesus who was the Christ written about by the prophets of the Old Testament.
Jesus would call out a group of men, train them up with special instructions, and appoint them, even commanded them, to organize the people so that they, the early Church, could "feed His Sheep" in a daily ministration of Pure Religion which counters the effects that was dominating societies and the thinking of the people at that time in the world of Rome.
The dearths of Acts
Someone said that doing Church is not a big part of serving God. The phrase "doing church" is not in accordance with the meaning of the word ekklesia. How do you do called out?
Unless it means pretending to be the "called out".
There are people who do that. It would depend on who called out the people and what they are doing. We could make a pretty short list to distinguish the Church of Constantine from the Church of the Christ.
- Are the members "exercising authority" one over the other from the top down,
- Are they "coveting their neighbors' goods" through men who call themselves "benefactors" but exercise authority,
- Are they telling people it is okay with God if they do that,
- Are they actually "loving one another" or
- Are you "biting" one another through the power of rulers,
- Are they the lovers of the "reward of unrighteousness"?
All those practices are okay in the Church of Constantine but not in the Church of the Christ.
The Church of Christ rightly divided the bread of the people from house to house through a daily ministration of Pure Religion.
In fact, they were so good at that we see them in Acts doing that all over the known world during times of dearths.
The provision of aid and welfare provided by Paul and Barnabas during the dearths and famines swept across the Roman empire for a variety of reasons.[4] we see them mentioned in Acts[5] to the Christian community by the early Church established by Christ was at the heart of the Christian conflict with Rome.
Romans had accepted a form of "legal charity" provided through the state supported temples and Herod and the Pharisees had set up similar forms of social welfare through registration and government enforcement.
This was the sacrifice or Corbanpreached against by Jesus as making the word of God to none effect and causing the people to often do no more ought for their own parents.
The Corban of the Modern Christian has become more like that of the Pharisees than the Corban of Christ.
Are Modern Christians under a Strong delusion, have they returned to the mire, and again become entangled in the elements of the world?
In the Old Testament
Famines were a major part of many stories and events of the Old Testament. One word we see in the Hebrew text is Raab (ReishAyinBeit)[6] is also translated hunger and dearth.
