Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
A New Delhi worker can’t even think of taking a day off to avoid the deadly heatwave that has gripped India’s capital and much of the country’s north since late March.
That would mean losing a day’s wages, and his family of four simply can’t afford it. Hundreds of millions of workers in India and Pakistan spend every day outside, without the option of avoiding even the hottest hours of the day.
Those workers may face increasing life or death choices about going to work, and record-breaking heatwaves like the one hitting northwest India and Pakistan right now.
In recent weeks, temperatures over 120 degrees Fahrenheit have scorched parts of India and Pakistan, killing dozens of people, destroying crops, increasing the demand for energy while triggering electricity blackouts, forcing authorities to shut schools, and prompting officials to warn people to stay indoors.
“I have seen heatwaves before, but this is something entirely different,” Shankar said. Shankar migrated from the central Indian state of Uttar Pradesh to New Delhi years ago to work in construction.
He spends most of his earnings home to his wife and two teenage children can put food on their table.
Scientists say prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures poses a risk of fatal heatstroke and can impact the functioning of vital organs including the heart, lungs, kidney, liver, and brain.
Authorities do urge workers to take time off on the hottest days, but as laborers only get paid if they’re on the job, that can mean a crippling loss of income for millions of families like Shankar’s.
“I earn 300 to 400 rupees about ($5.00 USD a day),” Shiv Kumar Mandal, a rickshaw driver in Delhi’s shopping district, said. “What do you mean, ‘why am I working in this heat?’ If I don’t work, we will die of hunger.
The current heatwave in India has already had a global impact, helping to send the price of wheat soaring to a record high last week after India banned exports of the crop, which has been badly damaged by the dry, hot conditions.
Revelations 6 speaks of 1/4 of the world is in war and the price of wheat a measure of wheat for a penny which means a day’s wage.
Revelations 6:5 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.
Revelations 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.
A measure of wheat for a penny is approximately one quart of wheat for one day’s wage for a worker.
Revelations 6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
Revelations 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Proverbs 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
Proverbs 28:27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
1 John 3:17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
