Thanks for your reply to the Christian trying to tell everybody to repent. This is a survival site and I came here to learn how to prepare, NOT to be preached at. I left Christianity many, many years ago because of the damage they’ve done to my family and me. And it’s rare to ever see a TRUE Christian, one that actually lives by his beliefs. 90% of them don’t.

It's amazing how the mention of God can bring out the best/worst in people.
I am not here to mess up this blog with a religious war, the wise will take heed with what I shared, others will ignore me, and still others will mock and rage.
God Bless!

I forgot to share my preps.
I bought more canned goods over the weekend, with expiration dates extended as far into the future as possible. Don't have the resources or time to can myself.
I live in an apartment, wish I had some property of my own, but I don't.
You may be wondering if he(I), believes in God, well then why doesn't he do nothing and let God take care of him?
God expects us to do our part.

2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 10For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."
11We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busybodies. 12Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat.

Proverbs 27:12 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.

Are you preparing to survive alone?
Here is some more Biblical advice;

-Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

God Bless everyone!

I would want to know all of what is coming, so I could best prepare for the situation.
On the blogs I have come across, I have not seen anyone mention these visions of America's demise.
Do I want this to happen to America?
OF COURSE NOT!!!!!!!!!
I am a Christian, I study God's Word, and these visions, God led me too, show what is coming.
I compare to the Bible these visions, and they make sense.
God does judge wicked nations.
God judged Israel for it's wickedness, and sent the sword, and famine, and captivity to them.
Yet he sent prophets, time and time again, to warn Israel, (His chosen people), to repent and turn from their sins, so that these judgments would not happen.
But they rejected God, and these things of judgment came upon them.
Actually, I have been reading Jeremiah lately, and Jeremiah was chosen, before he was born, to go and warn Israel, but they wouldn't listen.
America needs to repent, and maybe God will relent and not allow these things to happen.
To come to all of you and not show why I believe these forewarnings, would not make sense.
These things that are coming, line up with how God judges evil.
I have shared, and am convinced they are going to happen, (unless we repent as a nation).
Now you preppers know what is really coming.
It is much worse than probably most of you had any idea of.
Getting right with God is the most important thing you can do.
You may be one of the millions killed in a nuclear blast, or shot by invading armies, or even tortured to death.
And those of us who are Christians know once you are dead, "it is too late," to make a choice for Christ, only eternal suffering is your lot!
Romans 10:9-10
I wanted to show what is coming and I had to show you why I believed this.
Didn't mean to preach.
Keep an eye on the news, see what Russia and China are doing.
———————————————
Mk, I am not bothered by your protest.
I have had "much worse" thrown my way.
I want to applaud the courage of this blog owner to allow me to post this.
God Bless Him.
