The Great Dearth
In terms of definition, a dearth is a scarcity or lack of something, such as food.
As it is with most prophecies, and the one written in Acts 11:28 as The Prophecy of Agabus, this dearth can occur any time on earth. However it was claimed as truth during the time of Claudius Caesar.
EMPEROR TIBERIUS CLAUDIUS CAESAR AUGUSTUS GERMANICUS
Born August 1, the year 10 B.C.
Emperor of Rome from 41 A.C. to 54 A.C. Which was when he died.
Became Emperor of Rome after the assassination of Caligula.
Nero, his adopted son succeeds him as emperor.
Cities conquered: Thrace, Noricum, Pamphylia, Lycia, Judaea
His religious reforms were for a state religion, going against celebrations added by Caligula, and brought back lost festivals. He was against many of the newer religions, and it is said he threw the Jews out of Rome, and was uneasy about Christianity.
Emperor Claudius was afflicted. The cause of his ailment was often debated, but at this time, he was thought have Tourette syndrome. The cause of his death remains unknown, except that he was possibly poisoned.
