Yes, the Biblical 'Last Days' of this world system of things are to be recognized by intense suffering and problems facing mankind, one of which is 'world hunger', spoken of as 'food shortages" in The Bible.
They are mentioned as one of the 'signs of the end' at: Matthew 24:7&8 "For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress."
And again, The "Horseman of the Apocalypse" depict the problems which will face the earth at the 'end times' . The THIRD horseman is FAMINE (Revelation 6:5-6) "And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say: "Come!" And I saw, and, look! a black horse; and the one seated upon it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice as if in the midst of the four living creatures say: "A quart of wheat for a de‧nar′i‧us, and three quarts of barley for a de‧nar′i‧us; and do not harm the olive oil and the wine."
A 'Danarius' is a 'day's wage', showing that costs worldwide will soar. The Bible says that these 'signs' would indicate that God will soon step in with his Kingdom to end earth's problems.(Matthew 6:33)(Matthew 24:3-14, 32, 33)

I do, its in The New World Translation. You can look up Psalms 83:18 in a King James Bible and a few others too.
"be still and know that i am God""I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
It's like all the other Bibles. No more chapters and verses; - - No less. Jehovah's Witnesses can and do use any Bible translation available when teaching, however, the New World Translation, which is published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, has the same number of chapters and verses as any 'standard' Bible (minus the apocryphal books). Occasionally some Bible translations will change the numbering system slightly(such as when the Douay Bible incorporates Psalm 10 into Psalm 9 causing the rest of Psalms to be one verse behind), but the basic information stays the same.
All of them -- He is the Living Word of God... the LOGOS, the WORD, the Spokesman for God who was in the beginning with God who created the universe [John 1:1-3]. The verses of the Bible testify of Him. When they speak... it's He who does the speaking. The verses of the Bible are the "manna from heaven"... the "Bread of Life" that have proceeded out of the mouth of God. "For the Bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth Life unto the world... and Jesus said unto them, I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE..." (John 6:33-35) Every verse of the Bible is attributed to Christ. Jesus Christ is the Bible.
Some Bible verses that discuss the importance of being different from the world include Romans 12:2, which says, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Another verse is 1 Peter 2:9, which states, "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, Gods special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." These verses emphasize the idea of living a life that is distinct from the values and behaviors of the world around us.
The calendar we use now in the English-speaking world was not used in the time when the Bible was being written. Therefore "Saturday" is not in the Bible. It was instead called "the Sabbath." The word "Sabbath" is in the King James Version of the Bible 137 times. It is in 116 verses.
