Doomsday Preppers

A lot of people believe that they won’t go through the end time tribulation, so maybe this is not for them, but I was curious about surviving through the tribulation when times get tough.

I have different views on the matter. Some people go all out and store food, items , build underground bunks, etc for a doomsday event, not so much because they are doing it from a biblical perspective etc.

But for those that do believe they’ll go through it, What is the necessary steps, if any, that should be taken. And I’m not referring to spiritual preparation, obviously that is first priority and a must. I’m referring to the physical aspect of the tribulation that will occur.

Two views come to mind when I think about “prepping” for such an event. One being the story of Joseph in Egypt, years of plenty and years of famine. They collected, prepared for the years of famine during the time of plenty. Is that something we should be doing?

But then the second view comes to mind, the manna in the desert. God said only to collect the ration for the day and not to collect more than needed and sure enough the ones that did got worms in the manna. Does that mean we should not be storing or preparing in such manner and just hope and trust God everything will be alright?

Wise men see evil coming and prepare for it <---this is in the bible and a biblical principle....

There are 4 things that KILL tribulation saints........a wise man can do something about 3 of them and maybe even all 4............

There is no imminent return of Christ....POST GREAT TRIB-PRE WRATH ingathering.....BE wise!

I have never considered myself a doomsday prepper, but I have always been prepared for any difficult times that may come.
Israel was to let the land lay every seventh year and had to prepare for that year.

There are several verses that I live by in this regard.
1 Tim. 5:8
Rev. 18:3-5
Prov. 22:3
Zephaniah 2:3

I have made plans for the well being of my family.
I have chosen to live away from the cities and their wickness.
I keep my eyes wide open for any coming danger and plan accordingly.
I pray that God will hide me and my family when the coming tribulation comes.

Matthew 25 New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.

11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’

12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

13 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

This parable alone can provide so many theological truths. The lamps needed oil. One group prepared for the day and one group did not. One group planned because they did not know the day or hour. So they planned for arrival by buying extra oil. Preparing for the arrival and not knowing if they would even need the extra oil. Then of course once the groom came then the lamp and oil was no longer necessary. They already arrived to their destination. But they indeed needed it until they reached that destination.

Keep watch, be alert, be prepared, and always stay in a state of constant training as you plan to face the evil to come and as you anticipate the arrival of your destination. But until then we keep on doing the commands of Jesus and fighting the good fight.

You have said itin your closing...Because it is the last of this age, there is no real reason to prepare for the needs of the flesh...God will help where needed. You say not to bring up th e spiritual, but for those who know Jesus, Yeshua, there is no alternative. God bless you always..

Doomsday preppers are generally unsaved and don't really understand Bible truth. Christians will not be going through the Tribulation, which is designed for the unbelieving and the ungodly.

Daniel tells us God's Word is that those of understanding will help those who do not during the Tribulation. At least this is what I have been given to understand.

He also mentions that we will be helped with little help during that time.

I am well aware that my love is not perfected yet as is our Father's always, but in the love I have been given I cannot believe our Father would leave everyone alone during the greatest tribulation ever, so those who believe will be here during that time and some right up to that enting moment..Otherwise there would be no believers in the flesh to be gathered up by His angels.

If you have a relationship with God there is nothing to fear. We need the Holy Spirit to live in us and if we are in need that badly God also sent ravens to feed Elijah. The flour and oil didn't run out with the widow until the famine was over. Mana as mentioned before and Angels ministered to Jesus after his 40 days in the wilderness.

We may have to run for our lives but God is able to take care of us if need be. My preparation is mostly spiritual and I am planning to move to a more country location and start growing a garden again which I'd love to can vegies and that sort of thing but when it gets down where the rubber meets the road God is going to be faithful to us and I will put my trust in Him that He will let me know what I need to do at that time

The word for ravens is the same as for Arabs………….It has been revised by linguists that actually God sent Arabs to feed Elijah.

It is like the unicorn mentioned in some translations of the word, I believe the word should beffalo or ox.

I believe the best preparation is our spiritual preparation, than God will led us what to do. About 20 years a go I meet a man and his son sale all his belonging and make a small ship, he believe the Lord will come soon and the tribulation is very near, so when he not able to buy food, he able to eat a fish from the sea. It has been 20 years and the Lord not show up.

I have stored up many doomsday peppers in my basement

James 5 tells of those living in the last days, the tribulation, before the coming of Lord. It’s a warning of heaping up treasures. Those that heap up treasures have taken the mark and able to buy and sell.

5 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

I think Food storage is smart anytime and who knows if preppers might be called on in case all the ravens get eat lol
I believe unicorns are rhinoceroses according to the description and appearance

I don't believe running away and hiding is the right thing to do for the tribulated Saints in the end times.. I think going out and sharing the Gospel in the hope of seeing just one more person saved would be the better policy.. Yeah you would probably end up as being one of the first people with your head on the chopping block but at lest your tribulation would be short and swift and you would be with the LORD early on..

I don't believe any amount of material preparation is going to make ones life worth living during the terrible end times.. Like the scriptures say that things are going to get so bad during the end times that the living will envy the dead. They will desire to die but death will flee them.. Do people really want to survive on an earth that has eventually reached that level of suffering? Do you really want to bear witness to it all?

I believe there will be some Christians that God will cause to live right through the great tribulation and through the times of the pouring out of Gods wrath upon the earth.. They will witness it all,, Maybe in eternity it will be their job to give an account of what happened during those days?

Just to clarify i have no trouble with people prepping for disasters and nuclear wars.. Yeah buy that emergency food and store that clean water.. Build a bunker if you like.. Prepping for disasters is a good thing.. But prepping in an attempt to survive the end times tribulation and wrath??? Nope..

If one is destined to go through the end times to witness the day of the return of Jesus they will get there not by their own efforts.. They will get there because God will cause them to get there.. As the scripture says Angels will be placed in charge over you and protect you from harm..

Psalm 91 is good reading for the end times Saints who will go through the End times..

Psalms 91: KJV
1 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. {2} I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. {3} Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. {4} He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. {5} Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; {6} Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. {7} A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. {8} Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. {9} Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; {10} There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. {11} For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. {12} They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

100 Yrs ago every body prepped compared to today .. My wifes uncle Bo can't read or write his own name, no AC, wood stove and heat, still plants his fields, cans, can slaughter cows and hogs until this year, no need for computers and he gets along fine .. And he appreciates his stuff, what he has and don't give away .. I freak out when the power goes off for an hr or two .. LOLOL ..

Dooms day preparation isn't necessarily about end times. It can be about a catastrophic United States ending event.

Acts 14:23

What in the world does this verse have to do with Doomsday Preppers?

That was in response to your statement that Christians would not go through tribulation.
