When Joseph was thrown into a pit by his jealous brothers, and then sold to a traveling band of desert people, ending up in Egypt and in charge of much of the country's commerce, he learned from Our Heavenly Father that there would be 7 years of plenty and 7 years of famine.

He didn't look upon it as "hoarding" because he prepared for the famine, by storing food for the coming hard times. His wise actions actually saved many people's lifes, including his own family.

Don't feel guilty because you are storing food for the coming times. Many will say "if you trust in the Lord, you won't need to hoard food". Joseph trusted in the Lord and acted on his blessed foreknowledge of the coming events by storing food.

But God Specifically Gave Joseph The Divine Gift, of foresight into the interpretation, of the Dreams.
Where as we have not been given that.

Just as he Gave Noah, the same sort of knowledge, as well as Instruction.

The Problem with Preperation/hoarding, for the dark times to come, is, that unless, you have an exceptional hiding spot, that Only God would know of, sooner, or later You will be found, by someone, who will not have a single problem, at all with taking all that you have, and possibly ending your life in the process. think about it, During states of anarchy, You just dont hear about people coperating. Sure many will be taking the mark, But I am sure you realize , that Christians, arent the only ones who see the mark of the beast coming, and those that do, A very large segment, Just flat out Don't believe.

He could have also "trusted in the Lord" and starved himself and many others as well.

If the Lord told us that the spot where we are standing, a meteor was about to hit, are we going to say "I trust in the Lord" and keep on standing in that spot?

NO, we're going vacate that area ASAP!!! [/QB]

But there is a difference in him telling us of something that is coming, and to PREPARE, and something, that is coming, and to trust in him.

Just like the Pre tribulation believers ,tend to stretch the meaning of verses, Do you not think, you might be as well?

Just because, you don't agree with their view of the end times, doesn't mean you have to take an extremely polarized opposite view of it.
For example, Texas Grandma has stated A few times, that God has not given us preparation instructions, for surviving the Great tribulation. Well he didn't give Moses instructions In advance of the Exodus either.
When a need arose, the lord provided. But he didnt just part the red sea before they arrived. He did it according to his own will.
the manna, from heaven, is a good example of God providing. Another Is psalm 91, where He speaks of thousands Dying around David, and he was literally untouched, even by plague.
The Lord provided protection, Just like he did during the final judgement on Egypt, Though he did instruct them, to place the blood of the lamb upon their doors., but other than accepting his offer of salvation, I am unaware of any commandments currently similar, other than possibly baptism.

quote:


Just as God told Joseph of the coming hardships for a reason, he is also telling us for a reason.

Again, that is the blessing of reading the book of revelations.

By ignoring the warnings, we are provoking our God, because he told us about it and we failed to respond.

The coming powers will control the food supply, thereby having an iron clad grip on the masses. Use your wisdom, prepare for the years of famine.

Also,if you have garden room, store up seed, for they are already trying to issue seed that will not give off seed, thereby making the people behoven to them for seeds each year.

Soon, you will not be able to go to the local grocery and buy your food, but rather have to stand in line to be issued your allotment.

Be like Joseph,prepare yourself physically.

Be unlike the apostle Peter, and prepare yourself spiritually.

Learn from the blessing in the book of revelations,be ready,so in the times of testing, you may be considered worthy in the day of judgement and gain everlasting life.

I am not quite sure what you mean about provoking God.I dont recall any verses telling us to prepare by stockpiling.

quote:

Thats the whole point, it is a systematic agenda, do you really think, that they wont be actively searching for stock piles?
Look at history, just in america.
Prohibition, they were looking for liquor.
I live near a hidden moonshine distilery, although Granted, It is not nessesarily from the 20's

Look how pharmeseutical companies have cornered the market, by using PAC's to pass laws forcing alternative medicines, or herbs, to pay exorbitant fees, or not make claims of healing, and therefore not be classified as "drugs"

Have you not noticed how communist russia like Grocery shopping feels RIGHT NOW?
go observe for yourself, how utterly mirror like capitalism has become to communist russias food lines. the differences between the 2 are illusion, because in the end their function is the same. Both are corrupted. Though buying and selling, mentiuoned as often as it is in the bible seems remarkably capitalistic, in tone, especially in reference to merchants, and babylon.

Again in stockpiling for the bad times coming, you are in essence gathering a WORLDLY TREASURE.
After all once wormwood poisons most of the worlds water, Just how valuable, do you really think, Gold diamonds, platinum, etc will really be in comparison to a drop of water?

The bible speaks of families turning against each other, parents turining in their children, and children their parents.

We all hope and pray, that no one we know would do this sort of thing, but God has already told us it will happen.

I once asked a friend If she could refuse to take the mark of the beast, if her child, were sick or starving, and she told me she didn't think she could. She also said she though't God would forgive her if she did.

But the bible is Quite clear on the result of accepting the mark. But Not so clear, when speaking of pre tribulations raptures, or stockpiling for tribulation.

I don't want to come off as being middle ground on the issue.

But I Do feel that your view, is Just as extreme, as those who actually think they will not be around, during at least part of the tribulation.

And by all means, If you think what I am saying is off, provide scripture.

I like you am concerned for people either not taking the possibility of going through some tribulation, as well as your point of view.
Just suggesting you re examine your viewpoint in the light of scripture

ARE YOU READY?

In the past I have issued information that,I know, has seemed fearful and frightening.

My reason???

Rev 1:3 ¶ Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

verse 3 doesn't mean that you are issued a blessing in the sense that you are commended because you read it, but that upon reading it, you may gain the insight on the coming events and thereby prepare yourself physically and spiritually.

That you may be ready when confronted with the options between acceptance or derision, food or hunger, and even life or death. That you may be ready when it's necessary to make the choice that leads to everlasting life.

The apostle Peter, at the last supper, told Christ that he would gladly give his life for his Lord and Heavenly Father.
Christ, knowing the future, told him that he would deny his Lord Christ 3 times before the crowing of the **** .

When they took Christ before the courts, Peter was lagging behind and was noticed. When asked ,3 seperate times, if he was associated with Christ,each time he denied knowing him. Then the **** crowed and Peter realized what Christ had predicted had come true.

Peter went outside and bitterly wept.

Peter wasn't prepared for this confrontation spiritually, just as many today won't be prepared for it, without some knowledge of future events.

That is the blessing for reading the book of revelations.

That is the reason, I'm revealing many things that will come to pass so that you, my brothers and sisters,may be ready when the **** crows and not be shocked into losing your everlasting life.

So please forgive me if I have upset you, for the future events will be quite traumatic, especially if you have no foreknowledge of them.

My actions are guided by love for my brothers and sisters and nothing else.

NO, we're going vacate that area ASAP!!!

The Lord is telling us in the book of revelations of the times of famine. Are we going to be like Joseph and prepare for it, or are we going to be like wandering sheep and choose to ignore the prophecies concerning our near future?

Just as God told Joseph of the coming hardships for a reason, he is also telling us for a reason.

Again, that is the blessing of reading the book of revelations.

By ignoring the warnings, we are provoking our God, because he told us about it and we failed to respond.

Other info

The US starting covert action in Cuba now.They will use terrorist prisoners in the invasion also.

"That man belongs to the mercenary groups paid by the United States," said Alberto Lisea, insisting he and other neighbors had the right to "defend the revolution."

Below is the particle beam that I mentioned in a previous posting. It is what I believe they will use instead of the Nuke.

Looks like they are adjusting it.

Suddenly there was this flash, it's the only way I can describe it – it was so bright it was a white flash and it lit everything up. It was like somebody had turned on 50,000 spotlights."

If you are interested in finding out about this haarp weapon I have mentioned,you can obtain information at the url below.This is a christian site and the people here are very up to date on what's really happening in this world.

http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1207.cfm

HAARP can create nuclear-sized explosions without radiation! [Page 38, 62]. This process is protected by patent 4,873,928. This might be the "great" sword being wielded by the forces of Antichrist in Revelation 6:4. With this weapon, you could attack targets with nuclear-sized explosions without having to deliver nuclear warheads on missiles, or on aircraft, or any carrier!! This development could render all military calculations about how to defend against an enemy's attack completely useless.

God bless you brothers and sisters
