One of the problems with "Prepping" is the "WHEN". People have been "Prepping" since the EARLY 1900's, in anticipation of "Jesus Return"; some in the 1950's over fear of Nuclear War; some in the late 1980's due to "88 Reasons"; -- and virtually every Front Page Headline since. But "WHEN" is "WHEN"? --"NOW"! "NOW" is "NOW", according to the movie "Space Balls".

And although people misunderstand the "no man knows ..." as though it said Week, Month, Season, Year, Decade, Score, Century, Daytona, and Millennia. But Scripture actually says the opposite:

1 Thess. 5:2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 When people say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief.


And although I understand that Scripture DOES SPECIFY THE YEAR, there are OTHER CLUES as we get closer, -- i.e., seeing through a glass darkly helps being "closer". And one of those events is given both in Ezek. 38 & Dan. 11:40, which maybe closer than we might expect:


US Launches Preemptive Strike On "Rocket Sites" Near Occupied Syrian Oil Fields | ZeroHedge

US Launches Preemptive Strike On "Rocket Sites" Near Occupied Syrian Oil Fields
by Tyler Durden, Tuesday, Jan 04, 2022


Late in the day Tuesday (local time) the US military carried out what's being described as a "preemptive strike" against rocket sites in eastern Syria that "posed a threat" - according to a US coalition official statement.

"The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the coalition saw several launch sites near the Green Village in Syria," Reuters reports, referencing an American base in Deir Ezzor province. "The official did not specify from which country the coalition carried out the strike."

The base that was being "threatened" is in Syria oil-rich eastern region, which for years American forces have occupied in support of Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). In the same area lies the country's largest oil facility, al-Omar oil field, as well as Conoco gas field - both under US-SDF control, something Damascus and Moscow have long condemned as an illegal occupation presence intent on blocking Syria from its own vital energy resources.

Over the past year the US base has seen occasional attacks, which is typically blamed by the Pentagon on "pro-Iran" militias, or also possibly Syrian national forces.

In this case too, at least one regional correspondent has been told by a coalition official that "Iranian militias" were targeted in the new strikes.
...


... and although Dan. 11:40 doesn't specify who the "thrust at HIM" is, it's probably a safe bet that it's Syria (Russian/Iranian associated); or Iran (directly). And where it appears that Iran has had many of it's underground facilities decimated in recent weeks, -- the most likely candidate reverts back to Syria (Russian/Iranian associated).

But while we consider the above NEWS Article, it's important to anticipate that ESCALATION is a key component to CONFLAGRATION. So this may simply be a "warm-up" toward the inevitable "Battle Of Armageddon", -- WHICH STILL ISN'T "NOW", but will ensue when the U.N. takes center stage to not only resolve the Conflict ( -- where Nuclear Weapons WILL be used -- ), and establish a New World Order where NO MAN CAN BUY OR SELL WITHOUT THE MARK OF THE BEAST.

And THIS will be when the estimated 6 months of provisions will be required, -- until Jesus Returns LATE THIS YEAR as I best understand Bible Prophecy.


Of course the Scoffers and Nay-Sayers will now come out of the woodwork, -- but the TRUE TEST is whether we see the Armageddon attack against Israel by early summer, -- "a HOT July", according to Kim Clement.
