Dear Sister,

My first thought when reading your post was that your priorities are correct, to trust in the Lord Jesus no matter what.

It would seem to me that storing up food and supplies is a wise and prudent thing to do under any circumstances, be it due to war, natural disaster, terrorism, a breakdown of society, famine, disease, you name it.

I too believe that Christ will be coming for us before such events increase in their frequency and intensity, but I would still suggest storing food and other necessities in a safe place, with your testimony, Bibles, highlighted Scriptures, etc., so that perhaps your hidden supplies might serve as a Christian witness to someone or some group of people left behind.

Perhaps a note saying something like:

"To Whomever finds these supplies: I am so terribly sorry that you and perhaps your loved ones are suffering during this difficult time, and yet even now Jesus Christ has seen fit to lead you to this food and other supplies to help you survive. Whatever you do, do NOT take any sort of 'mark' or implant into your body in exchange for some promise of economic freedom or safety. That is the mark of Antichrist and it will doom you eternally. Place your faith in the King of kings and Lord of lords, Who is able to save BOTH body and soul from the fires of Hell, just as He has provided this meal and more to you this day, His Name is Jesus, and He is coming in Judgment and Glory soon, and we will be with Him! Hope to see you then! Until that time, "Give thanks to the Lord for He is Good, for His Mercy endureth forever, Amen!"

I can see no harm, and perhaps a lot of good from something like that Cinda.

The Lord be with you!
