siege

“When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city.”

-Luke 21:20-21

Jesus hands out some pretty solid advice in today’s verse. Not only did it prove to be wise counsel when Jerusalem was sacked in 70 AD, it is always going to be better to not be in a major metropolitan area when wars break out or tough times come around. One of the main reasons it’s better to be in the mountains or the countryside is because the cities are targets because of the high concentration of people. They are easier to quarantine and control because of the limited geographical area to cover. If the objective of the invading force is to terminate life, everyone is corralled into a single kill zone in the city. In other types of disasters, cities become battlegrounds for limited resources. If you live inside of a city, make sure you consider today’s verse and come up with a good bug out plan.

If you are new to prepping or would like to learn more about how to prepare for tomorrow, please read our 7 Step Preparedness Plan. Come back every Sunday for a new Prepper Bible Study! The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.

Have a blessed day and happy prepping!
