I realize that there has been; to say the least an urgency on my part as to the impending doom and the need to get things out quickly; etc. I never heard of only one piece of well; you know stuff hitting the fan as opposed to the whole motherlode; but my idea that I'm trying to convey is it is more likely if He tarries that there will be short term issues that affect our lives in regard to power outages; martial law; food supply issues and the like. A limited event of whatever form needs to be something we prepare for.
In this segment I want to emphasize some things that indeed may tie into the Tribulation but have some reality this side of the Rapture. Namely; the verse that says if you live by the sword; you will die by the sword ( Matt. 26:52). We can see the same concept in Revelation 13:10 states in KJV He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. Other translations seem to indicate we go by whatever fate we must endure but don't emphasize our actions leading to these countermeasures. Nonetheless; we need to be wise and realize that whenever possible we should live at peace with all men; and yes I would say there is some precedent even if an invading army takes over under certain circumstances. In terms of our own ruling establishment there are many who would want to refuse instruction should things get tough and I won't say that certain situations may arise when something fundamentally goes against what we believe or someone is simply out to arrest and kill us we shouldn't take some other recourse. Presumption here isn't wise; however and again our primary reason for being here is to be a witness to the world.
We need to show others our faithfulness as no doubt we may be assigned at that point to help others who we can as our government may be lacking. Let's entrust the Spirit to give us the words.
