Making Final Preparations - What's coming?

I feel young and vibrant and age is a matter of the mind.  One has said, "If you don't mind, it doesn't matter".  But, unfortunately I get all these mailings about final preparations. "Have you bought your grave"?  Do you need "knee replacements"?  We have discount "wheel chairs and elevators to take you to your second floor".  Good night, I'm offended, but often laugh off these special mail offers because of my age.  Computers kick out the information to those of us who have passed 70.  The study through the book of Revelation that I am giving also sends a strong message to planet earth... it's getting late and you better prepare.  Better to not laugh this one off!  God tells us that if you can read the clouds in the sky, that it's going to rain, you can read the "signs of the times".  What can we do to prepare for what is about to happen on planet earth.  First, don't be shaken in unbelief, but stand firm on God's word.  "We are not the children of darkness that that day should overtake us as a thief..." We will know because of the prophetic word coming at the end of this age.  We hear it everywhere, even in the news. Second, prepare your family, your business and your personal life for what is coming.  I have spent some time discussing these events with my children, especially my two youngest who are still at home.  Do you have a business plan to take you through the tribulation and into the millennium?  Sound's kinda crazy doesn't it? But who is going to rebuild this earth after the terrible destruction during the great tribulation?  The bride of Christ, which includes Jews and Gentiles together as we return with Him in clouds of believers. As we reign with Christ, He will be using us to rebuild this earth into what the Father calls the "glorious kingdom of His dear Son", Jesus.  Have you discussed an escape plan with your family from cities of destruction that is coming?  Jesus says many will flee into the wilderness and places of protection.  Not only is Israel going to escape the coming great tribulation in it's land, but all true believers will be warned to flee to safety.  Doesn't it make good sense to make some preparations?  I live in Florida and every time a hurricane heads this way, people stock up food, board windows, fill their cars with gas and prepare to flee...especially along the coast. If I told you that the grocery stores will be empty don't you think it might be wise to have at least a 100 lb bag of beans and rice in storage? I was raised on a ranch in Colorado and we made preparation for hard times. We were located about 60 miles from the great Rocky Mountain range and Pacific storms would often send hail raining down on our crops.  I remember getting "hailed out" three years in a row.  We made it but it was because my dad made preparation for hard times.  Perhaps that is why I am writing this post...because I see my father.  Finally, get yourself tuned into God's divine purpose during this age.  Make His kingdom the first priority in life.
