I read the Bible too, and no one knows for sure if the time is near, but I intend to move to another "city," or in my case, another country. I have fought the socialists/communists my entire life. It is time to go to that south sea island beach, and continue the fight from there.
Or Idaho .
My point is it is self-preservation is not a sin one would be a fool to shout on a street corner knowing the Beast would crush you in a heartbeat , be it physically spiritually or financially, like a bug against an M1 tank.
But, if you do move there are better Christian countries out there than the now secular humanist gaia USA. Philippines is one that pops into my head immediately.
