There are even "prepper" verses in Revelation.

Rev 13:10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

What he is saying is if you plan on killing to get your food, or maybe rape your neighbor, or steal others food, your not going to last long. He talks about the "patience of the saints". What exactly is that?

Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Rev 14:13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write: 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.' " "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them."

What he is explaining is, if you are claiming to be Christian, you must act like a Christian even when there is no law. You can't kill or steal, commit adultery or fornication, and to sum it all up, you must love your neighbor as yourself if you claim to love the Lord with all your strength, mind, and soul.

If you miss the Rapture, then you must serve the Lord even with the Antichrist as ruler of the earth. What verse 13 is saying is you will be blessed if you go ahead and die with your works unspoiled. If you start to murder and steal to live, it will go against the record of your works if you break Commandments in the Last days.

Most people seem to miss the "big picture" of the Bible thinking it's all about life here on earth. Our life here is to get ready for your "real" life to come. If I tell you the earth and sky will burn, then you know this life is temporary. The "Real Life" is in eternity with heaven or hell as the only destinations offered. Reality for a Christian comes from faith in something he hasn't seen.

Jesus died for you and you are expected to die for Him. You can die to your flesh in the baptismal, or you can die to your flesh at the hand of the Antichrist. The souls heard from in Rev 6:9-11 are these people that were NOT Raptured, but were left behind to face the Beast. The "Bride" Jesus comes for in the Rapture are those that gave up their flesh for Him and lived their life for Him after Baptism. These were referred to in Mat 25 as "wise virgins". The foolish virgins were left behind to buy and sell. If they take the mark, they are lost. They receive the same plagues as the non believers and end up in hell no matter if the claim Christ or not. This is where "prepping comes in. Th3ese people will try to survive as long as they can, but what God is looking for is faith. They are relying on their own strength and not God's. You must NEVER take the mark or DENY Christ. That's hard to do in the Satanic Kingdom run by the Spawn of the Beast. Just give up your life for the Lord and you will be accepted in Heaven. Why fight it for a maximum of 3 1/2 years more life.

Jesus said many times "I never knew you" to people that obviously called themselves Christians but didn't live the life of one. If you deny Him before men, He will deny you before the Father. Why would you fight for life here knowing God wants you for eternity? No one wants to die, but everyone dies once, and then the Judgement. Your first death should be at Baptism. If you are baptized and really serve God from then on out, you will never die. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. If you don't lay down your flesh at baptism, then you will be left behind to face the Antichrist. If you haven't even committed to Jesus you will die and the SECOND death is a doozy. It will involve hell and fire.

Jesus is doing everything possible to not lose even one soul. We have been given many chances for eternal life. Once the church leaves, the "pew sitters" will be obvious and will realize what happened. If you think it was "space aliens", you obviously didn't read your Bible carefully enough. There is a level of dedication Jesus is looking for in His Bride. Salvation can still be had, but you will face the Tribulation in the flesh. I don't look down on prepping for disasters, but to believe they have a chance in the Last Days is foolish. I'm sure there were plenty that thought they could tread water long enough to survive the Flood if it came. It did and they couldn't.

Dying for a Christian is a reward. The people "left behind" will mourn, but us "left behind" should do everything possible to rejoin them in Heaven. Put the Kingdom of God first, and everything else will be added to you. Put Jesus second, and you are gambling everything no matter how much food and bullets you have.
