Prepper Recon

Sunday Prepper Bible Study- Jeremiah 18:7-10

 ^“If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, ⁸ and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. ⁹ And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, ¹⁰ and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.”

Despite this warning from God through Jeremiah to the people of Israel, they did not turn back to him. They did not change their evil ways and they did not try to follow God’s laws. The Bible as well as history books tell us that Israel was destroyed by the Babylonians shortly after this warning.

Prior to this invasion, Israel had been the very definition of prosperity. As they enjoyed their prosperity, they forgot from Whom it came. They quit worshiping the God who had made them so prosperous and worshiped idols from other cultures. They turned their affections to objects of wood and metal rather that the God who loved them so much.

You may be thinking to yourself “this sounds familiar”. Indeed it does. Not only has America turned from her Christian principles on which she was founded, but our government has completely rejected God. America has banned God from the classroom. We can no longer teach our children the truth of creationism. We are forced to teach them the lie of evolution. We are not even given equal time with the lie to allow them to choose for themselves. Our children are no longer allowed to pray in school. We have banned God from the courtroom. We have stripped the 10 Commandments from every courtroom in America. We have replaced his laws with our own laws. We have assumed the role of God for ourselves.

Deuteronomy 28 tells the blessings for obedience and the curses for disobedience of God’s laws. If you look around at how we have abandoned God’s laws and made up our own rules, you quickly see how far from The Bible we have turned. Read Deuteronomy 28 and 29. It is hard for me to understand how anyone who believes the Bible can read that section and not see the need to be a prepper. It is some pretty hard prophecies for the nation that turns its back on God. For those who don’t believe the Bible, consider that the prophecies of Deuteronomy and Jeremiah have already come true for one nation. The history books are chock full of information on the invasion of Israel by the Assyrians and the Babylonians.

Despite all of our recent hardships, I see little evidence that America is ready to turn back to God and accept his laws. This doesn’t leave God much room to bless us. He has stated in The Bible that a nation such as ours would be cursed. He cannot bless us and maintain the integrity of His word. We are the ones who must change, His laws and ways are steadfast and eternal.

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. 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 week and happy prepping!
