Newt's a Christian who appears to be calculating in his own self effort here without godly counsel IMO. Highly unlikely that the tribulation will begin within the year. I could, but not likely IMO. I think there's still a harvest yet to be had before it all comes crashing down. And if that were true, Christians would be jettisoned out of here anyway before it all came down.
This doesn’t have to be related to the Tribulation in the Bible.
There have been plenty of mass exterminations of people without it being the end of times. The black death killed half the population of Europe, and people thought it was the end, but it wasn’t.
God helps those who help themselves.
AMEN Papa
