Preparing for the Future

World War III will not be the end of the world. It is impossible to specifically know how the war will play out, which areas will receive the most devastation, or how the radiation will impact our lives.

Then again there is the economic crisis, which is also largely responsible for the flare-up of wars that we are now seeing. In terms of suggesting preparations, I certainly have no special ability. What I give will be only what I have learned by study, though tempered by God's wisdom. At or near the end of this blog I will list a number of other websites that we have found insightful. Research and use these resources at your own discretion, according to your own situation in life.

Many would be the professing Christian that would respond, "Well, God will take care of me." Most of the time this only means that the person has faith in themselves, or their country, and naively believes that they will somehow be immune from impending disaster. God warns us of the future that we may prepare; that is a way He will care for us. To ignore such warnings would be a sin.

Above all else, I encourge everyone to turn to Christ for salvation. He is our only true hope, no matter how things may appear outwardly. Life here on earth is destined to end, even under the best of circumstances. Please look at the article, How to Receive Salvation on our website;  http://www.heedthewatchmen.com/.

1) Get out of debt. 2) Sell all unnecessary possessions, cancel services you can live without (like TV), or pare down. 3) Eliminate vacations or leisure activities, or sharply curtail them. 4) Stock up on food and water; a 1-3 month supply. 5) Sell your home. 6) Choose a good investment, some commodity. Gold is good, but you will need to be careful about the type you choose. It is likely that at some point the gov't will confiscate all the gold, like it did during the depression. 7) Keep a supply of a foreign currency, one that you will find useful. 8) Plant a garden ASAP. 9) Buy a gun, mostly for hunting. 10) Don't hold on to excess cars, or extravagant cars. What do you really need? Cars are expensive. 11) Move out of larger metropolitan areas. These will be the most crime-ridden during the hard times ahead. The largest ones will also be a target in war-time. 12) It is best to invest your money, rather than to just hold large quantities of it. Only keep enough "cash" for 6-12 months. The dollar is set to have a deliberate devaluation, which is why cash itself is not a good investment.

Preparations are good, but you should also be actively involved. Our situation is dire enough that it needs to be PRIORITIZED. I know some of you are very busy, and I cannot judge what you should be doing. Yet if we see all these problems around us, and do nothing, do we not deserve what we get when calamity befalls us?

This blog is pretty well now up-to-date, and the ongoing situations will be monitored and made known from here on out. Let's be diligent; with God, all things are possible!
