I'm surprised nobody mentioned a generator or 2?
I have a Generator and in the floods when we had no power, I could not believe that so many did not have one, mine only cost $150 in 2002 I think and it's a 950W 2sroke thing, it ran the fridge and a small beer fridge, TV, fans and for food I have a little gas camping cooker thing and a gas barbie to cook on.

I have a atheist mate who is a mad prepare but he is too dumb, he lives in a fantasy world thinking that by his shear will he will win out.

I think the hardest situation is if you had to get out of your home and travel by foot to a safer destination. Particularly if you have children or animals. My family and I have thought long and hard about this. Some live in other areas/towns/cities. We had decided to designate an area in the ranges closet to where I live. Somewhere we can all meet up if everything falls to pieces. A topical map and compass is also handy when on the move. Just some thoughts...

Great thinking. And I agree with the basis premise, but disagree with the if. I am convinced it is inevitable that the final remnant will need to face that situation. But even then... Especially then... God will provide the means, and in particular the protection, needed. I all also convinced that demons, fallen angels, will be visible and acting on the world as leaders and instigators in the persecutions and the intended destruction of God's people. But heavenly angels shall also be with us. Our water and bread sure.
But remember, even in the mountains modem technology will not hide you from the authorities. It is so important that the only reason the authorities and the world is after your blood is because you have chosen to worship according to your conscience rather than according to the dictates of the global community.

Well, I'm not a Futurist, so I don't read Revelation as a crystal ball of doom. I expect that my life will be lived out in relative comfort and safety. Of course that doesn't mean that I can't see the civil war that is soon coming to America. But, I think I can handle that.
Well, Revelation is rolling out as we watch todays' news. Floods, earthquakes, pestilences, scandals being reveled.

I'm not much of a prepper but my friend and I have been thinking about this area lately.

He's more of a prophet/watchman and senses the need to stock up on food, other grocery items and store water.

Here's a question : If prophetic dreams become a reality, Would you be able to survive in an emergency situation with what you have in your home?

Remember you would need ~ food and means to cook and clean~water~warmth~clothing and means to clean, ~ first aide/ medical supplies, shelter and security/protection of family. Means to travel if necessary.

Image a scenario

realize you only want a certain reply on do you stock up for an “in case”...but as a person who can really begin to fear and curl up in the fetal position, I wanted to share both thoughts. The Coronavirus is freaking me out. Mostly since my husband and I have children around and thoughts begin pertaining to those who would be looking to us if things went all lord of the flies. Not to go crazy but in considering if our country was hit hard by a disaster or if there were mandatory quarantines where we couldn’t go to the grocery store. Last night we were discussing stocking up supplies: medicine, food, the essentials. Enough for at least a month. Problem is we already live day to day and week to week: not able to invest in months ahead for “what if”. Woke up yesterday depressed and overwhelmed truly convinced if there was no food ...God is not going to deliver food to our doorstep. What church, when we do not belong to any, is going to bear fruit by bringing supplies we haven’t stored ourselves? But then another member posted on Gods promise to provide daily bread. His bread of the “I am the bread” and His Living water: those being what is assured and as God said His living water fails not and His bread fails not: that if we drink we will never go hungry or thirsty again. Now they are saying that this Coronavirus victims from January over in China are testing positive again. They do not know if they have been carriers the whole time but only that they are now sick again with it. Point is...we can plan all day long but the only plan is Faith toward God as we are ultimately at His mercy and in His Hand. The world appears to be falling a part yet He said while they look after those things coming upon the earth men’s hearts will fail them. Do we trust Him. He never said it wasn’t going to get bad but worse, and He would be the strength and preparation of those who put their trust in Him.

"I do have a gas cooker and could probably heat things up with that. We have some great rivers around my area and I have a few water tablets available...and I also have an array of candles and fire starters."

Sounds like a good start to me! Maybe some dehydrated stuff...fruit, meat, fish...

Are You Prepared If Things go all "Lord of the Flies?"

So were in SCRIPTURE do you get that something like this is going to Happen?

You are Sci Fi..
Got it I like to talk about SCRIPTURES.

Where in Scripture was anything even REMOTELY LIKE THIS?

You think your Sci FI is Scripture?
You are sadly mistaken.

... Do we trust Him. He never said it wasn’t going to get bad but worse, and He would be the strength and preparation of those who put their trust in Him.

It ain't about "trust", when HE calls us to "OBEDIENCE":

Lke 22:35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one.

It tell you now, there are unsaved who see the "signs in the skies" and are preparing for approx. 14 months from now, (according to my best understanding) when we won't be able to buy or sell, and an additional 6 months when we'll see global thermonuclear war. And THEY WILL SURVIVE to see the Millennial Kingdom.

But the "church" is deaf, dumb, and blind, and most will perish in "The Great Falling Away", -- which MUST be fulfilled. And I'm glad to see so many participate in that PROPHECY!


(... and the best "preparation" is NOT OUT IN THE OPEN. It's "keeping your head down" in a remote location stocked with provisions.)


SUCKERS!

Bobby Jo,
You are wrong again.
On 10 december 2018 the False Jew-Canaanites-Muslims of Jerusalem had a barbecue and burned some meat on a new altar to signify the start of the 7 years Tribulation.

You have the “obedience” warped. first our weapons are not carnal, as He said but mighty for pulling down strongholds. though he was a son he learned obedience through the things he suffered. That obedience being “love” perfect love which cast out fear and being made perfect He became the Author and finisher of Faith. His obedience brought Him to “not my will Father, but Your Will be done.” Right before He was taken and crucified as the way the life and the truth.

It tell you now, there are unsaved who see the "signs in the skies" and are preparing for approx. 14 months from now, (according to my best understanding) when we won't be able to buy or sell, and an additional 6 months when we'll see global thermonuclear war.

Say what?

”the "church" is deaf, dumb, and blind, and most will perish“ says you.

1 John 3:14-16 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. [15] Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. [16] Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

GOD sent an angel to bake bread for Elijah.
GOD sent angels to minister to Jesus after he had starved 40 days in the desert.
GOD sent angels to keep Daniel safe from the lions.
GOD sent angels - or was it Jesus himself? - to join Shadrach, Mesach and Adednigo in that blazing furnace so their clothing waasn't even singed!
Even Satan sends Watchtower magazines to JWs in Russian jails!
Tribulation is coming regardless.

There is NO "7-year Tribulation". It's a FALSE rendering from Daniel 9. Rev. 13:5 says 42 months, which is correct.

Perhaps you need to check the LIES of the commentators before parroting their assertions.

Well, then according to Scripture (Lke 22:35-36) JESUS IS CARNAL, because HE said to use our PURSE, BAG, and SWORD. So you've made your ill-advised judgement against Scripture.

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: [4] (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds

Again, that is your perspective. He also said Luke 12:32-33 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. [33] Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

42 months is the second half of the 7 years. 7 x 12 = 84?

Scripture does not refute Scripture. OBEY ALL, or obey none, -- and you've chosen! :)

Bobby Jo

yeah I’m pretty sure unless I’ve mistaken you for someone else: you told me before I’m not in obedience unless I go buy a gun. How the sword gets twisted into a gun...can’t figure that one out or pushing an agenda.

To All,

The Topic whether you're prepared. The consideration is what Lke 22:35-36 requires. -- If you haven't done what Jesus instructed, then you'll suffer the consequences, plain and simple.

Of course Eve accused the serpent, and Adam accused Eve, -- and christians (small "c") make their excuses. Perhaps OBEDIENCE is required of ALL.

You got the wrong guy. But the intent should be obvious, -- however you decide to DEFEND yourself and your household.

Maybe you can threaten your assailant with a "PAPER CUT". And good luck.
