Many unbelievers, and especially those in high stations of life, (think governments) actually know what God and His Christ say in the Holy Bible but in their hubris don’t actually believe. Many highly educated elites like Yuval Noah Harari of the WEF and others often quote God’s word, but to them it’s just another piece of literature to be accepted or rejected as one wills, and they will to not believe in exchange for trusting in their own self-centered egos. In the same way many wealthy millionaires and billionaires believe not in God’s word, but in their own devises to save them from the prophetic destructions to come. And in yet a third way many put their faith in the military to spare them God’s end-time prophetic destructions. Today, I will reveal four futile attempts of unbelieving man to try to protect against God’s prophetic Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ and coming destructive events that will bring this present age to its apocalyptic end.
First, after the great Flood of Noah’s day, God gave the world a sign that He would never again destroy the earth with a flood and that sign was the rainbow which yet often appears today after a heavy rain. At the same time God promised that “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease” (Gen. 8:22). Therefore, as long as Earth exists it will have four seasons of renewal, planting and harvest. But to unbelievers God’s promise is meaningless as they’ve made post-apocalyptic provisions for themselves with thousands of stored seed species at the underground Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway, in which 131 depositor nations participate. The facility is kept at -18 degrees Celsius, which is -0.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Government seed depositors into this vault believe they will renew earth’s agricultural productivity to foolishly preserve their progeny. It’s a waste of money, time and resources as those seeds will never be used after the Seal, Trumpet and Bowl Judgments of the Revelation, but governments don’t believe Christ. In fear they try to preserve what will never endure, for God creates new heavens and a new earth, Isa. 65:17, 2 Peter 3:13 and Rev. 21:1.
Secondly, there’s the egotistical and self-centered conduct of those super wealthy who, just like many government politicians and leaders know God’s word and know that mankind is on a path of self-destruction, and accordingly plot their own self-centered security, or so they think. This <1% of super wealthy individuals are reportedly building, not just modest underground bunkers, but elaborate strongholds affording them the same above-ground lavish lifestyle of convenience, while allegedly shielding themselves from wars, nuclear bombs, civil unrest and coming plagues of Revelation. They believe their plans of underground bunkers will shield them from coming destructions, but little do they know that, “Behold, He [Christ] is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen” (Rev. 1:7). And at the Sixth Seal “the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’” (Rev. 6:14–17).
Then, thirdly, we have these great military complexes of world governments. No doubt private wealthy citizens have taken their example of self-centered protections from militaries who have buried deeply into the underground with so-called iron-clad, nuclear-proof bunkers to hide them from the coming destructive prophetic end-time wars disclosed in the Books of Ezekiel and Revelation. It’s beyond the pale the vast amounts of tax-payer money governments have seized upon to build their own Top Secret underground habitats of so-called security. And many sites of buried military complexes are like small cities with infrastructure and highways that rival any above ground city. Just like private super wealthy citizens who have lavish underground bunkers, these deeply buried underground military complexes and the people who run them will suffer the same fate as described above, because at the Sixth Seal “the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, [reference to military leaders] the mighty men, every slave and every free man, [a possible reference to the super wealthy and their domestic servants] hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’” (Rev. 6:14–17). All this is relevant because “there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account” (Heb. 4:13). Unbelief of God’s prophesies is disastrous.
And to my fellow true believers who, with true faith serve God and His Christ, what should be our response in preparation for the very difficult days to come, because we will be right here on earth during the seven-year tribulation? Believers are at different maturity levels of faith, and I understand that, and many are at different stages of physical and monetary ability. That said, I encourage you, no matter your social, physical or economic position, pray for the Lord God to guide and help your decision making. Do what you can. Don’t do what you can’t. And for those who can, you should prepare a reasonable amount of water and food. But I sincerely caution, do not hoard vast amounts of food and water as though you’re going to live forever on this earth! Be reasonable. Use biblical common sense. Use Godly humility and Spirit-led guidance. And when the world cruelly begins shutting out true believers from society in the waning days of the first half of the tribulation, (and it will) you’ll have reasonable provision for your family, 1 Tim. 5:8.
We know there’s a time coming at the middle of the seven-year tribulation when no one can buy or sell unless they have the mark of the beast which seals ones eternal damnation and separation from God, Rev. 14:9–11. So, I’m not suggesting to prepare for those remaining 3 1/2 years of great tribulation, for that would be futile as Antichrist and his followers pursue those who refuse the mark of the beast, Rev. 12:17. But we believers who know of God’s provision (and knowledge of that provision is the key) for those 1,260 days of great tribulation, Rev. 12:6 and 12:14, we will enter that provision and be shielded from the Antichrist, Rev. 12:14. This is why my book “ON EAGLES’ WINGS” is so important as it explains in detail how to know Christ and find God’s Bozrah sheepfold of safety and place of provision for those last 1,260 days of great tribulation. If you haven’t yet, I encourage you to get my book for you and your family.
But it’s the first 1,260 days or 3 1/2 years of the seven-year tribulation for which true believers should be concerned about making reasonable provisions for themselves and their loved ones. As the world continues spiraling into lawlessness and combining of AI, robotics and bio-tech, it will become increasingly difficult to stand against the pressures of failed currencies, (and they will all absolutely fail) Digital IDs, government surveillance and persecutions for not conforming to the standards of the rapidly changing world. And during those 3 1/2 years, true believers, with eyes and hearts fixed on the future, and knowing the warnings of God’s word, should have at least a reasonable amount of sustenance stored to help during the waning first half of the tribulation.
Noah prepared for the coming Flood of his day. It’s also a biblical example that Joseph prepared for the seven-year famine in Egypt that devastated that nation and the tribes of Israel living there. Preparation and provision for times of known or prophesied trouble is very biblical and don’t let anyone tell you it’s not, because “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, ‘You have faith, and I have works.’ Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works” (James 2:17–18). And God said “if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever” (1 Tim. 5:8). Its true faith to prepare for what we know is coming.
And fourth, to those fellow believers who still believe in the delusional pre-tribulation rapture, well, I can’t help their unbelief, only the Holy Spirit can. All I can do is pray they come to faith in the end-time testimony of Jesus Christ who is “the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6). It’s a travesty that tens of millions of believers have been seduced by the Dispensational propaganda and indoctrination of the ear-tickling pre-trib rapture deception and pernicious lie. It has robbed believers by exchanging Christ’s truth for a deceptive promise based on fear. Interestingly, many fearful unbelievers know what’s coming according to God’s word and build underground havens to shield themselves from the apocalyptic end-times. Similarly, pre-trib rapture believers are also fearful of the end-times according to God’s word and have built a religious elaborate escape plan that they foolishly think shields them from the apocalyptic end-times, but their unbelief will lead the great and sudden falling away, because “then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another” (Matt. 24:10).
I can empathize with people who believe the pre-trib rapture because I was taught and promised it from childhood into adulthood. I foolishly believed what I was told to believe and not what the explicit word of God revealed. I now know that the pre-trib is a proud, selfish and entitled belief that silently mocks the sufferings of Christ, the 1rst Century apostles and millions of subsequent believers who suffered persecution and death for their faith, John 15:20–21, and that “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22). But Dispensational Theology rejects that. And in June of 2007, I’m so grateful God called me to look to His word, specifically the testimony of His Son, completely free from the assumptions, conjecture and commentaries of the pre-trib rapture tradition of men that make God’s word of no effect, Mark 7:13. I learned the truth and the truth set me free to prepare for the seven-year tribulation. This is also why my book “ON EAGLES’ WINGS” is so important. If you value Jesus Christ’s teachings, His truths will set you free! I believe you actually want to know the truth. Jesus Christ is that truth. Amen!
