PREPARATION FOR THE COMING TRIBULATION.
In the end, natural preparation for the tribulation will have little or no effectiveness, unless inspired by the Lord. The greatest thing we can do is to resolve ourselves to be possessed by the Lord Jesus, while resolved to obey Him & Trust in Him....even unto the worst of natural possibilities;
Starvation, Thirsting, or even seeing our family members suffer; death, & abuse. This cannot be projected as to how we might react, nor can we plan ahead; because it will never happen the way we may think.
"God has never forsaken ANY who put their trust in Him!" I see Hebrews 11, the hall of fame of faith chapter, as more than a historical event. I see it as a roadmap for us; a prophecy to expect, to resolve ourselves as righteous Job; "EVEN THOUGH HE SLAY ME, YET WILL I WORSHIP HIM!"
I want us to consider this, too. There will be a remnant of Jesus's here in America that will endure to His appearing, & Parusia...gathering together. God will stop time, & all on the Earth will be able to peer into eternity, where He sits & rules, while they watch Him gird His Sword as the Avenging Son, & powerful Father.......& slay the wicked while sweeping the faithful alive to Heaven..[ in the twinkling of an eye..].
This is the time Jesus warned of us...when I believe Islam will be in control of America totally. This is when MANY will betray one another...in order to survive...& deny Christ....& even their family members. They will proclaim Christ as Allah, as Mohammed.
"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
I think that many so-called Christians will justify capitulating to Islam under the premise that Allah is Jehovah, & has revealed himself through the power of Islam's savior, the anti-Christ & his prophet...who calls down pillars of fire on the Earth...[ I met them, & witnessed this in Eritrea...]
Remember..the way that so many will bow to Allah, is that you cannot buy food, water, heating or rent a home without the MARK, & without the mark, you must be beheaded! When this becomes a reality, most everyone will capitulate....to survive. Those who do....will ensure their place in Eternal Fire...without mercy from God. This is the test that comes upon the entire Earth.
There were ten Virgins, but only five were wise. The foolish virgins oil of anointing; the resolve to cling to Jesus more than the Love of their own lives, had dried up. The World, their Satanic Natures, themselves, & temptations from Satan in the World, had quenched Him out & they were empty & cold. These, could not, & will not endure the Tribulation Period...which will be rather long; 42 months.
" But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
During this time, the Church will be hunted, & overcome.
"And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
This is the Islamic Anti-Christ, who is alive today, & I believe resurrected from the deadly wound to the head; Osama Bin Laden. I believe I met him, & his false prophet in N. Africa.
"Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. "
This must be our victory & our true preparation.
