Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 6 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
(G.C. pp 589) In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hail-storms in tempests, floods, cyclones tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast.
Furthermore, the Bible, as well as the servant of The Lord instructs individuals, and families never to start stockpiling food and other items in prepping for the big one. Doing so shows a lack of faith in the God of heaven who has promised to take care of His people during that terrible time….. Isaiah 4: 5 And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defense.
Isaiah 4:6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain…. [E.W pp 56] The Lord has shown me repeatedly that it is contrary to the Bible to make any provision for our temporal wants in the time of trouble. I saw that if the saints had food laid up by them or in the field in the time of trouble, when the sword, famine, and pestilence are in the land, it would be taken from them by violent hands, and strangers would reap their fields.
Isaiah 33: 16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word, God bless!
