"To PREP or not to PREP?  A friend is watching all the same news we are, but has a different conclusion....how imminent is the Tribulation/Rapture?"


 
Things are just getting bazarro....   !!
 
Remember, one week ago, when the Russian meteor hit.....I sat next to a Born Again Christian at a lunch, and he had "taken the day off" because of the meteor hit....and thought it "could" be the end of the world.....so he wanted a day off and a good lunch!!  Hmmmmmm....... 
 
Well.....
 
For 25 years, I have a strong Christian friend here in Florida.....happens to be a World-Wide Christian Missionary, helping out immediately after earthquakes and tsunamis, delivering WATER PURIFYING Equipment and doing Evangelical work.  He has been featured (in the background work) on TV shows  on NBC and even had their home in Florida rebuilt on ABC's show "Ectreme Home Makeover" 2 years ago.
 
In a conversation Thursday, he and his wife are prepared to leave their coastal Florida home to literally "head for the hills" of Tennessee.....SOON!  They are "prepping" (as the TV show calls it) for an End of the World cataclysm......
 
He and I have always held 2 different views on the Last Days.  I'm Pre-Trib.....and he is "Pan-Trib"  (It all Pans out in the end....  lol...)  Cute....
 
He worries that we WILL go through some level of Tribulation.....and IF Christians are NOT prepared, they could fall away from their faith by having been LEFT BEHIND......so, he'd rather have some level of preparedness......than none at all. (Which is MY plan!)  (BTW....he is the kind of survivalist I'd want to run to if the world totally was falling apart!!  ) 
 
Actually, I told him I have 3 plans.
PLAN A:  A Pre Trib Rapture.
PLAN B:  IF I'm wrong about plan A......Plan B is....I just don't care!!!   No, seriously.....there will be so MANY people left without a preparedness plan if we all end up in the Tribulation, I will just TRUST God for everything I need....knowing, that death will take my home anyway...... so, WHY WORRY?  WHY PREP??  How long could it last anyway..... ?
and
 
PLAN C:  Join my friend at their place in the mountains of Tennessee.
 
He said...."Randy.....you need to throw out YOUR PLan B......and move me up one spot!!" 
 
What is interesting is this:
1) We are both WATCHING THE SAME NEWS.....THE SAME SIGNS ..... that Jesus said would come upon the earth just before His return!!
 
and
2) He is connected to some pretty high up government people.......and he seems to think some of them "know" that something bad is coming......soon.  What??
What could it be?
If my friend is worried about needing to be prepared to live "off the grid" ......no electricity, growing your own food, etc.....  WHAT IS IT THAT COULD CAUSE ELECTRIC POWER TO disappear in the United States?
 
Well..... we know only 2 things could do that.
 
1) A HUGE Solar Flare.  Interestingly I JUST posted here on this in the last couple days myslef!!
and
2) A Nuclear explosion high over the USA (east coast, west coast, both?) causing an EMP that would take out the electirical grid over cast areas and causing chaos with all electronic equipment.
 
Hmmmmmm........  We've heard of the threat of a high altitude EMP for years now.  Hey, Even John McCain brought this up (or was it the Ex Speaker of the House from Georgia?)  saying it was a real terrorist threat.
 
So....what will come?  Do we need to prep?  ( I don't think so..)   HOw soon will this all happen?
 
I maintain......that ALL the dominoes are ALL LINED UP!   Just waiting for the Rapture...and THEN...
 
All HECK BREAKS LOSE..... including Solar Flares..... War......Nuclear stirkes...... EMP strikes...the eocnomy implodes all around the world......etc, etc, etc....
 
THAT is my PLAN A!!
 
Things are HEATING UP!!
 
TICK TOCK,
