Preparation for the tribulation.

Has anybody done any preparation?? do you think it's necessary??
I have thought about it a hell of a lot. and I have done some preparation for the war. You know, after the big war things get expensive. The supermarket shelves become empty because people start to panic. So I've done some preparation for that. Um, the power going off. I've done some preparation for that. But nothing regarding the tribulation. The last three and a half years. But I'm going to do something.

What about anybody else? have they thought about it, or done something? love to know.

Those left behind are martyred right away for refusing the mark.
Read mat 24 and 25.
Both say the same thing.
Half the church taken pretrib, half left behind.

Get on fire for Jesus.
Those are the ones worthy to go into the wedding in heaven.

No believers " go through the trib"
All are martyred.
All

But some probably take the mark. So yes those do " go through" it via selling their soul to the devil

I'm building a time machine so I can go back in time and experience it.

Just my view thank you

Matthew 6:34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Mark 4:19
and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
Mark 4:19
and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
Luke 21:34
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

Matthew 6:34
“So don’t be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time.

however it all turns out, it will turn out according to God's timing, wanting no one to perish as I know this in me, God's mrercy of Love through Son that does not quit
God's kindness is meant for repentance. To change our mind and want to see Father's view through Son Jesus after the Death he did willingly first, for to be given reconciliation to us all to either believe that or not. Then the new life offered starts, and people learn new and stop ignorant stuff as when anger ruled them, learn to simply let anger pass and stand in truth God's love that over came, comes all evil as did that at, at the risen Christ for us all, Done once for us all to stand in thanksgiving and praise over it, so thankful continuously there will be no time to sin or continue in trying to not sin again
As person thinks so are they. Emotional thought, can steal, kill and destroy us, when those emotions lead!
look at a train, the engine leads right? The Caboose follows yes?
The Caboose is emotion y'all. I see two not get on any train where the Caboose leads, anyone else? Emotions know no right or wrong, they predictably respond to one's thought(s) go to a scary movie, watch it and control your reactions, Can you?
Not if your emotions are in the lead, at least for me this I see presently
Not possible as Jesus said

Matthew 19:26

Living Bible

Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, no one. But with God, everything is possible.”


Authorized (King James) Version

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

I am seeing he was talking of his death, burial, and resurrection
resurrection, where new life is given us to walk new in and not of self doing it anymore

Zephaniah 2:3 "Seek ye the Lord, all the meek of the earth, which have wrought His judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: It may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger"
Does not matter what preparation you make if you are out of God's will. Out of fellowship with Him.

Therefore believe, receive and see new, only if one will not quit, think on that wisdom when go through adversities too
It is done by Son to believe he is raisin for you too


Living Bible
Col 1:21-23

This includes you who were once so far away from God. You were his enemies and hated him and were separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions, yet now he has brought you back as his friends. He has done this through the death on the cross of his own human body, and now as a result Christ has brought you into the very presence of God, and you are standing there before him with nothing left against you—nothing left that he could even chide you for; the only condition is that you fully believe the Truth, standing in it steadfast and firm, strong in the Lord, convinced of the Good News that Jesus died for you, and never shifting from trusting him to save you. This is the wonderful news that came to each of you and is now spreading all over the world. And I, Paul, have the joy of telling it to others.

Not all Christians will die in the great tribulation. According to the Lord's will and wisdom, He will keep some alive to the very end:

1 Thessalonians 4:15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

There's no pre-trib rapture though. You WILL go through the great tribulation along with the rest of us and will die when you refuse the mark. Dying is not the worst thing to happen to a Christian though. You get to sit out the rest of the great tribulation (which is suppose to be the worst time in all history anyway) safely in Christ.


🔮

The first thing is to get right with God. Until you do that nothing else matters.
Next is to get out of debt.
And get out of the cities and learn to live a simple, no frills lifestyle. Be satisfied with the food and shelter God provides.

Therefore be dead to self daily in risen Son for us. Ask, trust Father to reveal the whole truth and nothing but the truth in God Father's risen Son Jesus for us to be given new and not earned as was thought to be earned, not seeing it as a gift given to us by Father for us to believe and be set free

Rev12

Rev12

Members of the Church, the Body of Christ, won't be here for Tribulation, but for those left behind, it is going to be so horrific I don't think one can really prepare. They may think they can... but I don't think so. The best thing to do is to accept Jesus Christ into your life so you won't be here for those 7 years.

The mark of the beast won't even be implemented until the SECOND HALF.

So, while it is true that there will be believers (who'd come to faith FOLLOWING "our Rapture"--when they are IN the Trib) who will be "martyred" IN THE FIRST HALF (Seal #5), it won't be because of refusing "the mark" that won't even be in existence yet, at that point in the chronology

Jesus' Subject in His Olivet Discourse was NOWHERE speaking of "our Rapture [IN THE AIR]" event;

He [Matt24-25] was covering the Subject of His Second Coming TO THE EARTH (FOR the earthly MK age) and the specific, future, LIMITED time-period which will immediately precede and LEAD UP to THAT (i.e. the Trib yrs that LEAD UP TO His "RETURN" to the earth)... EVERYTHING from Matt24:4 thru chpt 25-end, is telling of what FOLLOWS "our Rapture"


["the beginning of birth PANGS" = the "SEALS" at the START of the (7) TRIB yrs]

Ditto what I said above.

[this is NOT "the church"]


The "Partial Rapture Theory" is based on a MISAPPLICATION of a host of passages. It is not biblically accurate.

For the readers, Luke 21:36 is NOT a "rapture" passage/verse.

Luke 9:3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.


Moving closer. to where it's safer was one of the best answers I thought.
When I was younger. Luke 9:3 That would have been me. But now I am older. I need my comforts. I'm going to need some kind of blow up mattress. You may laugh. and I am laughing too right now, but it's true.

I'd like you to show me that in the Bible, without speaking, because I can show you in the Bible that we are going through the tribulation without. speaking

Rev11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

1Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the DEAD in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the CLOUDS, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1Cori15:51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Obviously, you have to know your Bible. You have to know revelation 11.

CONSIDER the following:


--BlueLetterBible shows the "parallel passage" where it says (in the HEADING):


Ministry of the Twelve
(Mat 10:5–15 [/U] )

Luk 9:1
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
Luk 9:2
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
Luk 9:3
And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.



So when you go to that LINKED parallel passage, it says this:

Mat 10:1
And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
Mat 10:2
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Mat 10:3
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
Mat 10:4
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

Mat 10:5
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: [Is this what He has "commanded" TO US?! No. This was a particular "command" at/for a particular time (and to a particular "12" ).]
Mat 10:6
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 10:7
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is at hand.
Mat 10:8
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Mat 10:9
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
Mat 10:10
Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

CONSIDER:

There are THREE "entities" (for lack of a better term) [besides the dragon/satan] in BOTH of the following passages:

--Revelation 12:4-17 -
1) "the woman";
2) the man child, or "the male [G730 - arren / arsena]"; and
3) "the REMNANT of her seed" (v.17);



--Micah 5:3 [distinct from Jesus' Own Birth in v.2] ["Therefore WILL HE GIVE THEM UP, UNTIL..." ] -
1) "she [/ the woman]";
2) the one she gives birth to; and
3) ["THEN" (after "she" gives birth)] "THEN the REMNANT of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel."




See the correlation?





["the REMNANT of her seed" is NOT "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY"/us; Nor is "the woman"]

The church talks about birth pains . Here they are.
We are the only ones that bring forth Jesus..
There is no other woman in Jesus' life Besides the body of Christ.
The woman in revelation 12 is the church. we bring forth Jesus. We flee into the wilderness. We are hunted by the beast.

If you are a pre tribulation believing Christian obviously you won't believe that.

Whether or not it's for any sort of spiritual tribulation, my family and I do stock up on essentials in our home just in case things get wonky. (i.e. toilet paper shortage in 2020) We have some food, water, pet food, and other items just in case things ever get crazy.
