I want to thank those of you who have posted the encouraging words of how we are not of this world and how our Good Shepherd is taking care of us through what is coming until our deliverance, hopefully this year.
About ten years ago, I used to attend the Preparedness Expo each year for the years around the mid 90s. Then it seemed to disappear. Anyway, I remember there was a significant number of Christians and patriots who were relocating to the mountains of
Idaho
and forming a tight knit community of like-minded folks who were preparing for
the big bad wolf etc. I was challenged by these folks to maybe join them, and I of course prayed about it. I wanted to do whatever God told me He wanted me to do.
I prayed very specifically because if these folks were correct, and we needed to get ready, then they were talking about storing food, buying gold, having guns and ammo and being ready to last through at least some amount of bad times before being raptured. (Many of them did not believe in the pre-trib rapture, which I am very strong in my belief of.) Nevertheless, I wanted God's personal answer for me on this matter.
I love the way that God takes His Word and shows that it is alive and powerful and able to answer this sort of specific question. For, as I was praying about this and wanting to know if He wanted me to relocate to their mountain and do like they were doing, He told me to read Psalm 11. Well, I had not previously read that Psalm specifically nor had any inkling of what it might say, so I couldn't have come up with this on my own. But my answer was there and has been ever since.
I share it with all of you now:
Psalm 11
1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the
upright.
Just as an extra tidbit of info for those up on the conspiracy stuff and also those who are aware of the idea that you can match up the Psalms with the years of the current calendar, from 1901 on, making Psalm 11 correspond with 1911, etc… Do you remember what significant secret meeting was held that year, in a
Jekyll
Island
gun club? There was a very secret meeting between private banksters to come up with the plans to destroy the foundations of everything in
the free world with the “Federal Reserve Bank”. In other words, the wicked were privately planning to shoot at the upright in heart and destroy the foundations of this country. God already knew what they were up to. So the question is asked, what then shall the righteous do? Flee like a bird to the mountains as those folks at the Expo were doing? No! God’s very specific answer to me is right here, that God is in His temple and on His throne and we will be with Him (his countenance doth behold the upright) when He rains his judgments on the wicked as the portion of their cup, not ours. I do have stored up treasures, but they are in heaven where my heart is also, not down here where moth and rust doth corrupt and thieves break through and steal.
Love to you,
