Here’s some principles to live by for those of you who may be living in the tribulation.

Revelation 13:
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

You probably should be stocking up food and supplies because you won’t be able to buy anything unless you take the mark.

I can see that discussions about the living through the Great Tribulation and a Post-Tribulation Rapture makes you nervous, but that's why I started this thread on how to prepare for it.


2ndTimeIsTheCharm,-----you don't know me very well ------I am far from nervous about God's Wrath affecting me ------as I won't be here ---like you will be -------may you prepare well for your Horror show--I think you had better stock pile your food though -----and have a bunker to hunker down in so you weather the storm that is coming ------

So put your faith into action and dig a hole for your safety ------Faith without works is dead faith ----God provided the rock for Moses ---but he had to strike it -----action was required -------



I send this Right back at you ---as I believe you need it more than I do ------Hope you make it through God's Wrath ------



So ask God to help you trust Him now, not only for instructions in prepping, but also to trust Him for miracles in provision and protection. And He will start doing them to help you to practice trusting Him now so that you'll be able to trust Him in the GT when we refuse the mark and the ability to provide for ourselves becomes more challenging.

I spiritually moved by the Holy Spirit to pray for you now:

"Lord, thank you so much for my sister in Christ! Please help her to truly trust in You, not only in helping her to provide for herself, but to also trust in You for miracles of provision. I know you are happy to do just that for her. Please put her faith into practice in terms of trusting you for miracles right now, in preparation for what's to come. Thank you so much for moving my heart to pray for her. It shows your great love and concern for her. In Jesus name I pray. Amen!"

That passage is for ALL Christians. If it was only for the disciples that Jesus was talking to, it would not have been included in the Bible for the rest of us to read through the centuries.

🍨

It was only for them. Most of the bible is written to or about people long ago. It's history of God and his people through much time.

Can you clarify why you posted Isaiah 5:8? I don't understand that one.

I totally agree with you about the second one, Matthew 24:4. Building up your walk with the Lord will really help us in regard to Matthew 24:4 because if we consult God first in everything, God will help us not to be deceived!
🍨
Hey there…
The practical reasons for Isaiah 5:8 is you don’t want to hear your neighbors anniversary night, or if they are dirty attracting bugs, or if they are irresponsible and start a fire.. etc

As far as the tribulation goes… I believe we will be here… Will Christians die in the tribulation? I believe so. If there is any kind of roundup,’the people living in metropolitan cities, house to house apts will be easy pickens…

Luke 21:16
16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. KJV

John 16:2
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. KJV

At some point you will no be able to leave the packed cities…. The heavy populated house to house cities will be madness.

Ask yourself, where would you want to live when these orders are activated..

Executive Order Number 12148 created the Federal Emergency Management Agency that is to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning and funding. An "emergency czar" was appointed. FEMA has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies. The bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic.
Executive Order Number 12656 appointed the National Security Council as the principal body that should consider emergency powers. This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States and grant the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians. The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry. Here are just a few Executive Orders associated with FEMA that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen:
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the nation.

You probably should be stocking up food and supplies because you won’t be able to buy anything unless you take the mark.

I will if that's what God tells me to do when the time comes. A long time ago, early in my walk with the Lord, I had a dream that I was distributing food to people who didn't have any. This was during the beginning of the Great Tribulation in my dream.

Wow, you really are afraid.

You'll remember all this though when the AC is revealed and you're still here. Don't panic and remember to stick to close to the Lord and trust Him to help you!

It doesn't matter to me if you insult me to try to discourage me from continuing with this thread, because this is really important. I did know before I posted this thread that some were going to be offended by it, but God did move me to post it to make people aware about how to prepare for this event.

With God placing this in my heart to post this thread at this time, what this tells me, is that there is still time before the Great Tribulation comes, enough time to strengthen our trust and faith in the Lord, enough time for Him, if we let Him, to put us into situations where we can practice that faith and put it into action. All this if we start now.

If you don't want to do any of that, well I've done my job of raising awareness. It's not my job to convince you. But this thread WILL reach the people it needs to.

In the past who was it that took the mark and worshiped it's image(where do you see it fulfilled and by who)?

Thanks so much for clarifying the first verse - quite informative!

1 Corinthians 10:11
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

But who bought and sold with the beast money and when did they worship it's image? People always say that it's past tense but nobody ever says who did it way back then...

Why take that out of context? It's talking about various sins people committed and that we should avoid doing those sins ourselves. It's unrelated to things written only for the disciples in the 1st century.



1Co 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1Co 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1Co 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
1Co 10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
1Co 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
1Co 10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
1Co 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
1Co 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
1Co 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
1Co 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

Attempt to draw them out then,,who is it you think may have worshiped the image and used it's mark(money?) to buy and sell? Was it the Jews in the 1st century? was it the Christians? Was it Rome? Just saying,a lot of people say it's all over from way back then but then again nobody ever say's who did it and explains how and why. Is it that they just keep parroting the others who said someone did it in the past?

Although the money system may be different… Do you see any similarities here?

Daniel 3:5
That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

Revelation 13
15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed

Well although I may see them fitting together quite well(which I do), I also see that your still not saying who or when in regards?. Who,when? Surely whosoever taught you that these things where fulfilled in some manner in the past has also explained it out to you and convinced you of this. Again who fell down and worshiped that image and who bought and sold/took it's mark?

It doesn't matter to me if you insult me to try to discourage me from continuing with this thread, because this is really important. I did know before I posted this thread that some were going to be offended by it, but God did move me to post it to make people aware about how to prepare for this event.

With God placing this in my heart to post this thread at this time, what this tells me, is that there is still time before the Great Tribulation comes, enough time to strengthen our trust and faith in the Lord, enough time for Him, if we let Him, to put us into situations where we can practice that faith and put it into action. All this if we start now.

If you don't want to do any of that, well I've done my job of raising awareness. It's not my job to convince you. But this thread WILL reach the people it needs to.


🥧
My post was neither intended as an insult, nor was it intended to discourage you, but rather to point out that you made your conclusion very clear.

The reality is that those who trust in the Lord have nothing to worry about. The verses that prepare us for the vicissitudes of everyday life also prepare us for anything that may happen in the future. ;)
