Guardian asks: Is it time to join the ‘preppers’?

A reader send something from the Guardian out of the UK that had the following:

Is it time to join the ‘preppers’? How to survive the climate-change apocalypse

The floods and storms that have wreaked havoc across Britain this winter could be just the beginning, and now a growing number of people are making preparations for the end of the modern world. Here’s what you’ll need to do to stand a chance…We are getting close to what might be called The Noah Scenario. Last month was the wettest January in Britain since records began in 1767. So far this month has been no different, and the Met Office expects the wind and rain to continue until March…You might not want to panic just yet, but you might decide that it is time to join the “preppers” – people who are secretly preparing to abandon modern life when the apocalypse, in whatever form, does arrive. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/17/time-to-join-preppers-survive-climate-change-apocalypse

Now this is a little tricky, people really need to focus first on getting their spiritual house in order. That being said, it also is true that natural and other disasters are coming to the United Kingdom, the United States, etc. And it is true that everyone should try to have supplies to handle disasters. On the other hand, stockpiling weapons is not going to properly prepare people for the long run.

When destruction comes to the United States and its Anglo-Saxon allies, most will either ultimately die or be made slaves. Of course, overall, the “mainstream” considers the idea of the destruction of the USA absurd and a fringe idea. However, just like some are noticing that the preppers were essentially right to be prepared for natural disasters, some will notice that the warning message that the USA will be taken over by the Europeans is true–but few will repent and truly be ready for it. Instead they will notice too late, as will likely most in the COG (cf. Zephaniah 2:1-4; Revelation 12:14-17).

Jesus noted that people simply often did not understand the “signs of the times” (Mark 16:2-3). Jesus also made it clear that food shortages and/or famines would come as part of the ‘beginning of sorrows’ (Matthew 24:7-8).

In addition to weather issues, there is the possibility that a country like Iran will use EMP bombs (electromagnetic pulse bombs) that could massively disrupt the infrastructure of the USA, etc. Iran, North Korea, or others could also use ‘dirty bombs’ and/or possibly real nuclear bombs to cause massive disaster.

I mention Iran because one of its leaders recently stated that Iran has the ability to destroy the USA from the inside:

A top commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards boasted Saturday that his forces have plans in place to attack the United States from within, should the U.S. attack the Islamic Republic.

“America, with its strategic ignorance, does not have a full understanding of the power of the Islamic Republic,” Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami said in a televised interview. “We have recognized America’s military strategy, and have arranged our abilities, and have identified centers in America [for attack] that will create a shock.”

Reports indicate that terrorist Hezbollah forces — allies of Iran — have infiltrated the U.S. and have mapped out targets.

“We will conduct such a blow in which they [America] will be destroyed from within,” Salami said.

This is the second warning by a high-ranking officer of the Guards in two weeks. The chief commander of the Guards, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Jafari, addressing Secretary of State John Kerry, said on Jan. 24 that a direct conflict with America is the “strongest dream of the faithful and revolutionary men around the world.” http://dailycaller.com/2014/02/01/iranian-commander-we-have-targets-within-america/#ixzz2tizjrGsv

It is believed that Iran has tested missiles possibly intended to detonate EMP weapons. This might not happen, but the USA, USA, and others are at risk. And weather risk in only one of them.

Spiritually, people need to repent, confess their sins, believe the gospel, turn to the true Jesus, and “seek first the kingdom of God” (Matthew 6:33). The ‘Philadelphia’ Christians who do so are promised protection by Jesus from “the hour of trial” that will come on the earth (Revelation 3:7-10) which is after the “beginning of sorrows.”
