I think those considering moving to the rural areas and farming are thinking there might be an economical crash foretold in Revelation 18(and other Scriptures)
https://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/18.htm ... It's interesting to ponder this from that point of view because not only does it say that Babylons gold,silver ect.(money?) will crumble but that they will also suffer "famine" and loss of cattle,wheat,spices,fruits ect. so food substances also.
I do agree with the Scriptures you gave in that they both apply to those in the cities as also the rural areas. To me it seems an important part of the process of delivering the Gospel to both those in the cities and the rural areas that in the Revelation Jesus himself by pointing out these events unfolding at all is to reveal these events that we might not be caught off guard by them. It would probably be an frightful event to behold unfolding for some but in Jesus revealing these events to us he himself seems to have thought it would benefit us to have foreknowledge of it. Pondering this I wonder has our Lord reveled this to us and we should have confidence that we can survive this and not fear?
In the cities when these events unfold and they try to garden on their patios it will dawn on them that it will take about three acres of good arable land to feed one person. They will simply do the math,,,me,my wife and little Joey is 3x3=9 acres that I need to farm every square inch of for us to eat. They will pull out all the lawn and plant every square foot even in the ditches and still not have enough arable land to feed all the people in the cities. Then they will ponder moving to the rural areas and find the new cities that sprang up in the aftermath.
If our lot is to be martyred for following the Lord Jesus Christ,
It will happen no matter where we are living.
1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful,
who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
2 Timothy 2:12 KJV
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : if we deny him, he also will deny us:
The Lord is worthy that we should follow Him, all the way.
John 15:18-26 KJV
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
[19] If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore
the world hateth you.
[20] Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If
they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
[21] But
all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
[22] If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now
they have no cloke for their sin.
[23] He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
[24] If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
[25] But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law,
They hated me without a cause.
[26] But when
the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
