Our world is on the verge of living the worst parts of the Bible – the apocalyptic parts. You are living the Book of Revelation whether you want to acknowledge it or not. This means that you will witness the short-lived reign of Anti-Christ, the fall of Babylon, the judgements of God upon the world, and the cleansing of mankind to prepare the way for the return of the King. How seriously are you taking this?
Too many people are carried away with optimism for the awakening they see happening across the world. They are ignoring the parts of prophecy that foretell the horrors that will precede the Millennium. They see a new golden age emerging but don’t recognize the shocking growing pains that will precede it. When Babylon falls, it’s going to flail and lash out and take billions of souls with it. Are you ready to survive the fall?
Are you ready for massive earthquakes, gigantic hail stones that destroy the earth’s crops causing global famine, catastrophic weather, a desolating scourge that decimates earth’s population, flesh-eating flies, stars falling from the heavens, ocean life dying, nuclear war, the collapse of order and stability, the implosion of the global economy, grid-down living without electricity and the internet, the rise of the Anti-Christ, the rampaging of nihilistic mobs and merciless militaries, and all the other things the scriptures have foretold? Are you taking this seriously?
Seriously, how ready are you? If something happened today, such as a nationwide power outage that was not resolved for three weeks, are you prepared this instant to survive and cope? I know I’m not exactly where I would like to be, though I have made many preparations to safeguard my family in the dark days ahead. I am pushing forward, gathering supplies, learning as many new things as I can, examining the situation, and closely observing the signs of the times.
I urge you to take stock of your life, your supplies, your location, your skill level, your physical health and fitness, your network of friends, and your overall preparedness level. If you find yourself lacking, do your best to make up the difference NOW while we still have relative peace and prosperity. Things won’t get better from here on out; they will get progressively and exponentially worse.
If you need a necessary skill, such as first aid, preparing tinctures, identifying edible plants in your area, gardening, shooting, hunting, butchering animals, sewing. welding, small engine repair, food preservation, well digging, HAM radio operation, knot tying, lock picking, or whatever it may be, start developing it now.
If you want to harvest food in the proper season, get the seeds in the ground now; both figuratively and literally. Do you have seeds? Do you have a garden? Have you ever practiced? Growing food to survive on is not something you do willy-nilly; it takes practice. So, practice!
If you want to defend yourself when the crap hits the fan, obtain the means and gear to do it with now. This should include multiple types of firearms, sufficient ammunition, optics, tools, spare parts and batteries, light, and other accessories. Don’t pay much attention to the videos you see saying that you must have this or that style of weapon, but get something and learn how to use it. A .22 that you have trained with and have ammunition for is far better than the AR-15 you bought and put in the safe and never touched.
Do you live in a safe area away from high population centers that will turn into mobs when the power goes out? If not, move or make serious preparations to relocate at a moment’s notice. Generally speaking, the Intermountain West will be the safest part of the United States. Other areas such as the Ozarks will be safe, too. Acquire some land if you are able. Begin putting in survival preparations such as garden plots, fruit trees, berry bushes, fish ponds, fences, wells, defensive preparations, supply caches, storm shelters, bunkers or safe rooms, etc.
Are you prepared to survive nuclear war? It is more survivable than most believe. Do you have a gas mask or potassium iodide tablets? Have you considered what you must do to survive? Have you looked at a map of the most probable nuclear targets in the United States and a map of nuclear power plants near you? Have you read “The Good News About Nuclear Destruction” and the other great information at ki4u?
Are you out of debt? This is a hard one for most people. Having financial Freedom is better than being in debt slavery. Poverty without the fancy things of the world is better than having all the outwardly nice things but being in debt to big banks.
Do you have a food storage? How much? 72 hours of food is insufficient – unless you only want to survive for 72 hours. I assert that you need at least a year’s worth of food and water; society will be offline for that long. Do you have water and/or water purification or filtration methods? Do you have warm winter clothes – a nice coat, boots, gloves, scarf, hat, thermals, etc.? You’ll need them. Do you have a power generator that will run on natural energy sources? Do you have a faraday cage or faraday cloth to protect sensitive electronics against EMPs and solar flares? Do you have a sturdy tent just in case? Do you have tools – axes, hammers, saws, nails, duct tape, etc.?
Do you have a network of family, friends, or like-minded acquaintances who can be trusted? You don’t want to be a lone wolf during a cataclysm. No one person can do it all. You need someone who specializes in medicine, another in agriculture, another in communications, another in organization, another in defense and tactics, etc. It is wise to train for disasters with friends and family whenever possible. Discuss all the potentialities and develop contingency plans. Everyone should be aware of the plan, their role in it, and the backups. Few things trump training and having a plan.
Lastly, how strong is your relationship with God? How finetuned is your discernment? Are you in tune with the Holy Spirit who has the power to tell you all the things you need to do, where you need to go, how you can best prepare, and how you should react in a real crisis? Above all things, get close to God and His Son Jesus Christ.
Preparing for the collapse of society is a daunting task, but you need to do it if you want to survive. The scriptures are true. Being true, we know that the world will be rocked by disasters and horrors the likes of which we’ve never seen as a species. Cities will fall into the sea. Hundreds of millions if not billions will perish in wars, famines, and plagues. Earthquakes will split the land. The weather will go haywire. People will go berserk as society devolves into anarchy, mobocracy, and tribalism. And there will be signs in the heavens and in the earth. I wonder how seriously we’re taking our situation and how sincerely we’re considering how to survive what we know in our gut is barreling toward us.

The American Citadel 
It breaks my heart that like your belief as you wrote, and too many others think that is how things will go down and share it, do not know that those things are not Biblical. And therefore, it keeps people that read these things in confusion and fear, when what People need now is to seek and study GODs Word from a trusted KJVB Right knowledge now can only be found written in HIS Word, not as so many that rely on the tales and stories of today’s Pharisees and Sadducee – mere men that spin tales that are just not in GODs Word. It is wise to have some preparations, I agree, but overkill is not needed as the time will span a total of 5 months and satan as antichrist will be here 2 1/2 of that. Eitehr the 5 or the 2 1/2 are not long to have to stand strong. I believe GODs Children are can do People and will cut it just fine, they have nothing to fear. Still, GOD will take care of HIS Children during those days coming even if they lack provisions, they lack nothing standing with and in FATHER. The political OWO is rising, as it is written it shall, but the Christian nations of People I believe will whack its head good…, as the global communist et el., drives all its lunacy forward, the People that know right knowledge will back out of it, away from it and it shall lose its foothold and all but utterly collapse and fail. And that is the key – being the most critical point in the finishing up of this dispensation.
It is what happens immediately after that ‘smashing of the head’, that Zack is where the ultimate and real danger arrives, defacto, here on this terra-firma. The moment that head receives that crippling blow, satan in his role as antichrist, shall arrive with his army…imo and it will be seen ww, and that one spectacular event causes the world to believe that he is Christ come back to save the world. We are told by GOD WOE< WOE< WOE< to the people of the earth, Revelation 8:13, for the deception will be beyond magnificent and utterly complete without exception, save GODs election during those days. I’ll add it is precisely that moment we are now to be preparing for, and by preparing, I mean searching – seeking Scripture to gain right knowledge with understanding in order to be sealed in HIS Truth which is where our strength and powers are given to us through Christ Jesus, given us freely that we may absorb it as best each are able to, that the same will be able to withstand and stand against the ww deception that will capture the whole world that choose to remain ‘unsealed’. The antichrist will have changed everything then [because the world will see him as Christ come back…and satan as antichrist will shower them with everything their lil ol hearts desire. Meanwhile he and his sick twisted ilk army will pursue and trying to prosecute, by hardship after hardship, those that refuse him and know he is the false one, the fake one. And the 2 witnesses above all, abhorring them for not complying and believing that he is Christ. Again, he cannot, by the command of FATHER, hurt a hair on their heads. and those of GOD that refuse his gifts of every sort will be made to struggle because the world will abhor them for not being able to see what they believe is truth that Christ is right here in front of our faces. This is where it is a good idea to have some provisions and things, or talents to use to batter for what may be needed. Again, it is a 2 1/2 month time span. The ‘unsealed’ will believe that he is Christ with their whole being, not having sealed themselves in Truth, they will not stand, nor have a chance against his supernatural powers – in any way, shape or means. They will adore him completely. The only ones that will be able to withstand and remain steadfast against his deceiving wiles, deceptions, lies and fiery darts will be the 2 witnesses, and GODs election, and those that here their testimonies and recall hearing the Truth and will also be saved at that time … the elect are ‘special’ but rather FATHER knows HE can trust them, because they proved their love and loyalty to FATHER from the first fall, of the first age, and they shall stand again and will not fail to complete their part.
Finally, and exactly, 3 1/2 days after antichrist loses his mind over the 2 witnesses,
and murders them in the open arena, for the world to see them dead, and the world ‘wildly’ celebrates their final demise, will watch them rise alive and see the 2nd coming of our One True LORD * GOD and KING! In that instant “ALL” will be transformed back into our original and true spiritual bodies, some to eternal life and some into the Millennium still having a mortal soul. Then and only them will GOD fight and destroy Every evil rudiment from off the face of this great GOD crated earth and so violent will it all be that it will shake the earth back to true north, it may last on 3 or 5 minutes, but it will be done.
That is – The great and mighty Day of The LORD!
It is all so easy to learn, as it is all written, and it is all going to go down exactly as HE has written and told us it shall. You know, satan in this role as antichrist is not coming to cause chaos, he is coming to deceive the world into believing he is the Christ and to be worshipped, and he will reward those that are in his camp with peace and prosperity in abundance. It is written. I write this because some may read the tale you have shared and think what a horrible ending this will be. But the Truth of it all is that the Children of GOD and HIS election have nothing to fear, except that of fear itself, because FATHER already gave satan the command that he is not to even so much as harm a hair on the head of HIS Children; that is also written. One more powerful gift we have been given is found in Luke 10:19-20… Another outstanding deep study is found in Lamentations, which brings one to search 2 Thess 2; Matthew 24:15; Daniel 9:27 and Ezel 16 … what a deep, wonderful and eye-opening study it is. How some do not understand how marvelous FATHERs Word is and revealing. Or worse, those that absolutely refuse to study it at all, so astoundingly inconceivable to my mind.
All the Prophets and Apostles GOD used and kept helping us learn through one ensample after another, to help guide us back to Truth, and home.
Hosea 4:6; Rev 13:3 and on and on and on and again, it is all written by GOD for all HIS Children to seek, learn and understand HIS great and wonderful plan.
What a time to be alive! Even the prophets wanted to see these days.
All that shared, there is ‘nothing to fear’ for those in GODs Truth, sealed in the mighty and powerful name of our LORD Christ Jesus name; it is for those a time of reward, Romans 8:31. For those that refused to seek and learn it – earnestly, enough to be sealed in HIS Truth, it will ultimately prove to be a seriously grievous error a day will arrive when they will see with their own eyes what their ignorance and refusing wrought them… awful is not the right word – when they realize they were deceived by satan. I cannot think of sadder words to hear then Matthew 7:23…how crushing it will be to hear them. Even then, GOD is such a loving FATHER that HE has prepared The Millennium. Another magnificent dispensation ending at The Great White Throne Judgment and then nothing ahead but blue skies and the wonderful earth life that GOD created for HIS Children from the start … Eternity ❤
GOD is great in ALL HIS ways in Christs most precious name. There is so much to look forward too who could refuse to want to understand it, well? That is all I can share, and I pray it reaches whom it is intended to reach.

You made many good points and it’s clear we are mostly in harmony. For instance, you said that Babylon will fall and fail. That is true. I have written about it endlessly for years to give people hope. I have written of the triumph and victory waiting for the faithful at the end of the dark tunnel. I’ll give only one example of many. I wrote an article all about that in January 2023 titled “The Final Years of the NWO.” In it, I started out by saying, “The New World Order is almost dead. We are entering its death throes – the final years before the true King of the world returns and obliterates it forever. The final years of the NWO, however, will be the most horrific, ghastly, and demonic the world has ever endured. They will be years full of blood, misery, war, horrors, plagues, natural calamities, mobocracy, economic ruin, rapine, plunder, and global Satanic oppression. Buckle up.”
That is something we most definitely agree on. Jesus has already won the victory, but the road to the Millennium is one of horrors and destruction! I will therefore caution you against the idea that just because we follow and worship the Lord Jesus Christ we will escape the tribulation unscathed. We won’t. His word does not say that. We have no promise of escaping the tribulation and trials. So many Christians think they’re going to be “raptured” out of this mess and won’t have to endure it, but that is refuted by scripture and logic. In fact, all of history shows that the Lord’s people have always endured hell, and specific prophecies refer to our day and tell us that many of us – Christians – won’t make it. John tells us in Revelation that Satan will overcome the Saints. The Lord, when speaking of the coming judgments, says we will suffer. He also gave the parable of the ten virgins to His followers. Christians should expect, then, to have half (if taken literally) of our number left behind. Half think they’re so great, but they’re not; their oil lamps are empty and their testimonies are dry and fruitless. They are blind leaders of the blind who will fall into the ditch. The coming trials (everything we have seen so far is barely a prelude) will be so severe that many Christians will fall away and be consumed. Many good and worthy people will also suffer and fall as good people in every dispensation have. As Jesus and His apostles, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and others, were persecuted, abused, and often even murdered by Satanic governments and evil societies, so, too, will Christians of the last days be marred. If anything, being a Christian makes us MORE susceptible to suffering because it makes us more of a target to Satan and his minions who maniacally makes war against the Saints (Revelation 12:17).
That brings us to preparedness. Anything less than a one-year supply of food is insufficient and nearsighted. Let me give you a brief glimpse into some of the many reasons why. We are headed into WWIII. It will be a nuclear war at least at the outset. I have written an article titled “The Inevitability of Nuclear War” which contains some very good research. Contemplate what a nuclear war entails. For one, it entails a preliminary EMP strike that will wipe out the power grid (regular nuclear explosions also cause EMP effects, but an actual EMP strike is when a device is detonated in the atmosphere, saturating a large area below it and wiping out electronics). How long will it take to bring the grid back online? For numerous reasons, it will take at least six months, but probably a year or more to produce the necessary transformers and other equipment that the United States does not presently produce or stockpile (we get most of it from China). With the grid down, what functions? Not fuel pumps. Not farm equipment to plant and harvest in abundance. Not trucks to supply food. Not electricity. Not the internet. Not banks. Etc. Unless you have sufficient food stored, you won’t survive said scenario (which is why a government report – which I think is exaggerated – estimated that 90% of the nation would perish in the aftermath of a total grid-down scenario resulting from an EMP strike). The effects of nuclear fallout also last about one year according to the scientific literature. After a year, soil starts to replenish and you can grow food again safely in many places. Unless you have sufficient food and water, you won’t survive no matter how faithful you are. There is nothing “overkill” about preparing to feed your family, to defend your family, to save your family in nuclear fallout, to relocate to safe areas, to get out of debt, etc. To not do everything we can to prepare when we have the opportunity to do so is to forfeit the Lord’s help. We can say all the prayers in the world, but if we neglected the opportunity to use what the Lord put into our hands for our protection, they will avail us but little. Such a display is mockery of His generosity. He gave Egypt 7 years of plenty precisely so they could prepare for the 7 years of disaster and famine. If Joseph had not been wise and faithful enough to prepare when he had the chance, he would have suffered like the other slothful people who failed to prepare and he would not have been in position to help save his father’s household. We need to be like Joseph.
In addition to, and superseding all of that, I testify from the depths of my soul that the Lord has sent living prophets to earth in modern times as He did anciently and as the Bible promises, and that those prophets have, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, urged people everywhere, who are able, to gather a one-year supply of food, water, clothing, fuel, and other necessities for the coming days of darkness. I personally won’t have any less than a year and I can’t in good conscience, knowing what I know spiritually and what I have learned through secular study confirming it, recommend anyone have less than that. Very few will make it through to the Millennium when Christ comes to reign. Those who do will be those who did their best to prepare ahead of time during the figurative seven years of plenty. If you are one of those, you may also be in the blessed position Joseph was in when he was able to help save his loved ones and many others. The time to prepare is now; time is running out before the full measure of God’s judgments and Satan’s wrath are poured out. God bless!

As an afterthought to my original comment, and since it’s almost the Easter season, here’s another article I wrote that perhaps you would enjoy. It’s about Christ’s victory through His Atonement.
