Prepper Recon

“Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.” Isaiah 1:17

I’ve received multiple messages and emails from readers and listeners who are still struggling with what to do on Tuesday. None of them are considering voting for her, but some are thinking about staying home. So I’m going to recap what I believe is the right course of action and why I believe it.

In the 60s, when the Bible and prayer were stripped out of the classroom and replaced with an atheistic wordview promoted via Darwinism, 93% of Americans self-identified as Christian.

In the 70s, when Roe v Wade was decided, 90% of Americans self-identified as Christian.

Even now, as homosexual marriage has become the law of the land by edict of the Supreme Court, 70% of Americans still self-identified as Christian. Under the current administration, men have been permitted to enter girls’ bathrooms, Monifa Sterling was court martialed over a Bible verse on her desk, Kim Davis was incarcerated for refusing to participate in a homosexual religious ceremony, Sweet Cakes Bakery was sued out of business for the same offense, Coach Joe Kennedy was relieved of his duties for praying on the field, and the Mayor of Houston subpoenaed the sermons of pastors to make sure they did not contain what she considered to be hate speech.

Edmund Burke said the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. I think that best explains how our country has fallen so far despite the statistics I’ve cited.

Isaiah 1:17 says, “Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.” I can think of no better example of the fatherless that need defending than the 3,288 children that are murdered each day in abortion mills around America. That daily-recurring number is larger than the combined death toll of 9/11, Sandy Hook, as well as the Orlando, Dallas, and San Bernardino shootings.

It’s true, Trump is a sexual deviant and promoter of vice through his casinos, night clubs and strip clubs. It is a disgrace and absolute failure on the part of the Church that we allowed him to gain the nomination over men like Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee. But, American pulpits were largely silent during the primaries and we’ve gotten what we settled for.

With that said, Clinton is criminally insane, on par with a villain from the next Batman movie. But, to get to the point, let’s ignore the lies she’s told over her emails, and the hundreds of millions she stole from the Clinton Foundation.

In the last debate, she pledged to select Supreme Court Justices, of which there could be as many as four during her administration, who will uphold Roe v Wade and the gay marriage ruling. Trump vowed to nominate justices which would strike down both. This simple fact should be enough to make this election a slam-dunk decision for any professing Christian.

I pray you’ll consider all of this when making your choice on Tuesday.

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!

Mark

They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon. For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me. And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another. In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us. So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.

Nehemiah 4:17-21

Last week, we talked about the Jews who had returned to Israel, following the refining fire sent by God to purify his remnant. In today’s verse, we see that in the rebuilding phase, security was a major concern. The people who had survived the assault and exile all had to pull double duty, working on the wall and being ready to engage in a fight at a moment’s notice. Unlike the foolish leaders who had been swept away during the fall, Nehemiah recognizes Israel’s dependence on God to fight for them, as well as their responsibility to have a constant security force posted around the camp.

It’s easy to identify the specific needs of a retreat or camp in a post-apocalyptic landscape after the event has happened. But for us, who are still awaiting the Refiner’s fire to sweep through our nation, it’s difficult to know the nature of the event. Will the Refiner’s fire come in the form of an EMP, a financial collarless, or a foreign invasion? Many of the steps towards being prepared are similar for all possibilities. And two common denominators present in all large-scale disasters are mentioned in today’s verses. The first is the need for security. This requires weapons, ammunition, personnel, training, and communications. And the second, which is always present whether we recognize it or not, our absolute dependence on 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!
