I have said this for as many years as I can remember, even back before I became a Christian and started to understand more about the end times and what the world will be like before before/during the Tribulation: the next great global fight won't be over oil, but WATER, and the power to control and distribute it at will.
Not only is water necessary to keep our economy going (name it--water is probably involved in the process in some form or fashion); but as one of the most essential building blocks of life itself--what keeps us alive--I fear that its price will soon become "far above rubies" and other precious metals or gems, and will become wanted, coveted, hoarded, and fought over.
After all, one can't eat a bar of gold, or snack on a handful of gems, but one needs water to live.
