I think all human-kind instinctively know something has been set in motion. Not just preppers. Just look at the multitude of popular TV programs that are now focused around post-apocalyptic survival skills and guns. They are on every channel. It’s an epidemic of TV programming targeted to an ever growing audience. JMO - Like dogs that can sense an upcoming earthquake, I think God has given man the senses to detect something much much bigger.
That’s what I’ve been saying - we’re near the end, and every human has a sense of that.
Those that don’t have the truth of God’s Word, and the Spirit to understand it, are truly anxious and worried and looking for something to pin that anxiety on.
Sun spots. Meteors. Peak Oil. EMP.
People of Christ, look UP, for your redemption is nigh.
