What Are You Preparing For?

[bbyrd009]

Are you preparing for Armageddon? Do you find it strange that that is pretty much what secular society is preparing for, this Biblical "battle?"

So, what are you preparing for?

I'm preparing for the Super Bowl.

I'm preparing to finish the race, where ever God's track may take me.

I haven't started preparing anything as yet but I think that there is a good chance of the deflation of western economies to a point where there could be civil unrest in larger urban areas.

Is it worth hiding out in a bunker during an armageddon situation or to be out in the mix trying to help and save others?

I'm preparing to be blessed by God.

Deuteronomy 28

Blessings for Obedience
1 “And if you faithfully obey the voice of the LORD your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the LORD your God.
3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock.
5 Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
6 Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
7 “The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
8 The LORD will command the blessing on you in your barns and in all that you undertake. And he will bless you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
9 The LORD will establish you as a people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in his ways.
10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they shall be afraid of you.
11 And the LORD will make you abound in prosperity, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your livestock and in the fruit of your ground, within the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give you.
12 The LORD will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. And ou shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
13 And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail, and you shall only go up and not down, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, being careful to do them,
14 and if you do not turn aside from any of the words that I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

I have considered buying a few survivalist books and starting to stockpile nonperishable items and bottled water, batteries, fuel, etc in the event that civil unrest does become a reality. I wouldn't be surprised if there was another financial meltdown resulting in worse conditions than the last one in 08. Ifthe banking industry burst then theres a good chance we all would find ourselves without any money. It could be a repeat of the bank runs a century ago.

If it is widespread, people may just turn violent. I'd like to be somewhat prepared and able to hunker down in my home and wait it out safely with enough supplies to keep my family secure.

Of course, theres also that whole zombie apocalypse thing. That would be the real problem.

Funny you should mention this. Last night I just bought a very nice water filtration system off of Amazon. The thing is good for up to 13,000 gallons which, as one reviewer noted, allows you to filter a gallon a day for over 30 years. This will allow us to store water in barrels versus cases of bottled water and make better use of the rain. We're also trying to find the cheapest way of allowing our solar panels to provide electricity when the grid power goes out (currently they are required to go off line when the power goes out).

This is the water filter.
