Prepper Recon

 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.  And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord‘s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

Ezekiel 8:15-16

As the last days of ancient Israel drew to a close, God granted Ezekiel a vision which revealed just how bad things had gotten in the culture. The vision begins at the outer courts of the temple where he is shown the idolatry of Israel’s leaders. Next, the vision proceeds to the gate of the temple where Ezekiel sees women worshiping Tammuz. Finally, he sees men inside the temple, between the door and the altar worshiping the sun. No one else would be inside the temple except the priests, so this must be an indictment against the spiritual leaders of Israel.

America has recently made a turn in the right direction. The prepping industry is taking a major hit because of the confidence that people are feeling since the election. I understand that. We’ve averted a major catastrophe politically.

It’s okay, take a break. Enjoy the win for a few minutes and celebrate. But, don’t let your victory lap turn into a couch of complacency. Don’t kick off your shoes and lay back with the remote for the next four years.

We’ve still got a long way to go. Abortion is still legal. We still have 20 trillion in debt. The nation is divided more now than ever before. And, like the temple in Ezekiel’s time, the American pulpit is festering with abominations. Our pastors barely know the Bible and are willing to make compromises on sin and truth to be seeker friendly.

So, finish your celebratory ice cream sundae. You deserve it. Then, clock back in and get to work. We need personhood bills in every state and at the federal level to end abortion. Start getting involved.

Make sure you are financially hedged to weather the economic storm that is coming. President Trump is limited in what he can do to dodge this financial maelstrom barreling down the tracks.

Hedge yourself for the inevitable civil unrest that is still boiling in the hearts and minds of the left. They’re doubling down.

And finally, find a ministry. Maybe it’s sharing the gospel with people at work. Perhaps God’s been urging you to teach Sunday school. For many of you, there’s a painful awareness that the church you are attending has reached the apostate tipping point. It’s time to start your own home group or find another church. You’re number one ministry is your family’s spiritual health.

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 you will meet your 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!

 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.  Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

Proverbs 26:4-5

Aha! There’s that contradictory passage all of your atheist friends have been badgering you about for the last ten years! Or is it?

Massive demonstrations are going on at JFK and all across America over President Trump’s fulfillment of his campaign promise to close the borders to refugees and immigrants from terrorist hotbeds. The protests come on the heels of the THREE HOUR rape of a Swedish girl by Muslim immigrants which was live streamed on the social media network of self-proclaimed fake-news czar Mark Zuckerburg. The Islamic devotees, whose religion sanctions such actions against unbelievers, kept the camera feeding live to Fakebook during the young woman’s horrifying ordeal.

Swedens open-door policy to Muslims has made it the rape capital of the world where 77% of the rapes are committed by Muslim males who make up approximately 2% of the population. Rape by Muslim men is an epidemic, not only in Sweden but also in Germany and all across Europe.

Despite these sobering statistics, the crowds of protestors are filled with young attractive women, who are at risk of being the next victims humiliated on Facebook for the world to see.

So how does all of this prove that today’s Bible verse isn’t a contradiction? Try having a conversation with one of these protestors. It’s your job to enlighten them, right? Since you understand that Islamic culture isn’t compatible with Americanism, you need to explain to them how every country where Muslims are in the majority, women are oppressed, Bibles are illegal, and unbelievers are subject to rape, imprisonment, harassment, torture, and execution. And please, let me know how that conversation turns out.

The bottom line, as today’s verse suggests, you can’t win. If you try to help them understand, you’ll end up engaging in a conversation with a fool that goes nowhere. And if you say nothing, then you’re allowing them to go on thinking that they’re right. It’s the epitome of the old saying, “you’re danged if you do and danged if you don’t.” So, the verses aren’t actually the fabled contradiction that proves God’s Word can’t be true. It’s simply Solomon’s perfect example of the futility and frustration you can expect when you have to engage with fools.

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!
