But we should watch and pay attention to the things that were said to pass, so we'll know and prepare
and hopefully avoid the destruction and flee when we should flee.

That goes without saying, that we should first seek God, pray and use wisdom in all situations in life with the Holy Spirit as our helper.

Last night I could not articulate what I wanted to say.
What I was driving at was the ways of man, or the traditions of man, the influence that this culture has on us, the thinking of the mind of the natural man.
I understand what you mean that we should watch out and pay attention the things that are going on around us, or things said and be prepared, however ? if we are listening to God's word, and God's voice would he not be the first one to warn us of danger ?
As Pastor Thomas Jakes ( T.D. Jakes ) said in his sermon on YouTube ( why did God chose me ) he said he got tired of the counsels of man, the fodder of man, and I would go on and say, the concepts, the ways, and yes, man's traditions that they have set up.
He found comfort in in God's word and a reason to go on living.
When it all boils down to ? God is the only one worth listening to.
I don't care what the main stream media has to say any more because I tune them out of my hearing, and out of my mind and I am more at peace because of it.
I tune out what people have to say if it is not what the spirit of God is telling me.
My brother was fit to be tied and worried when he kept listing to the media talk about how North Korea is going to fire another nuke missile.... I was not worried any more, I told him ? It will be over for us when GOD says it's over.
I told him I am not worried in what North Korea has to say or does, it will be over when God says it's over.... not before.
