Famine for the Word

Might this be the case in the US today? 

Amos 8.11-12:
Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God, 
“when I will send a famine on the land— 
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, 
but of hearing the words of the Lord. 
They shall wander from sea to sea, 
and from north to east; 
they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord, 
but they shall not find it. ..."

I know my Redeemer lives!

“Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
Oh that with an iron pen and lead
they were engraved in the rock forever!
For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
yet in my flesh I shall see God,
whom I shall see for myself,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!”
- Job 19.23-27
