In this vision, the darkness is approaching the land. One of the reasons for this is that pulpits are serving stale manna. Pulpits are serving stale word or food to their congregations.  Stale food has caused faithless lives, decay in health, no love, and lack of fear of God. The believers’ lives have decayed and become rotten as a result of consuming stale food. Stale food does not create an appetite for true manna or word of God. It creates a sick lifestyle. Because the pulpits serve stale food, the congregations have lost interest in reading the Bible, praying, and showing love to others.
