Beloved; America, which was founded during the Philadelphia Church Age (from about 1700 to about 1900 – the church of the “open door” – Rev 3:7-13), was established on the bedrock of natural and moral laws and foremost acknowledged the RIGHTEOUS Person of Almighty God at its founding. Beloved, just read the Declaration of Independence, our nation's precious birth certificate, and see for yourself how Almighty God was included! Oh, how the haters love to slander our founding and twist the truth of its inception! In the fullness of time, at the end of world history, some 4000 years after the Tower of Babel America was established for Almighty God's purpose and plan. Tragically after 246 years of our nation's history and journey, we have reached socially and culturally the point of no return!
Dear friends, in a day of global EXPONENTIALISM in every facet of life, there is absolutely no time left to counter the EXPONENTIAL growth and spread of lawlessness and godlessness of our day and its EXPONENTIAL ravishing of our nation due to the abandonment of sound moral principles and its restraints. There is not enough time to put out the EXPONENTIALLY burning fires which consume our nation in lawlessness! Today's tragedy for millions of Americans is that we who live in this EXPONENTIAL deteriorating day are living at the end of America and it's a great experiment! Beloved, when America's dam breaks, what then for America and this world? What then? Today, America's only hope is to be found in a PERSON and that PERSON is the Lord Jesus Christ and His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS salvation (John 3:16-17; 1 John 4:10)! We must see the ETERNAL today to understand our hour; for the Kingdom of Heaven is indeed at hand, with the seven years HORRIFIC Day of the Lord preceding it (Matt. 24; Rev. 6-19).
Dear friends, there has been no other nation in this world's history in which believers in Jesus Christ have sent out the ETERNAL Gospel LIGHT as America has! In our day of EXPONENTIAL technology, faithful believers in Jesus Christ are sending forth the ETERNAL Gospel LIGHT EXPONENTIALLY via all the mediums of our day, reaching billions before the Rapture of the Church! No day ever has seen such outreach and though the church its self is failing, faithful believers in Jesus Christ are able to reach ALL the world through these technological tools and mediums (Matt. 17:20, John 14:12, Gal. 2:20, Eph. 3:20-21, Rev. 3:8)! America, as a nation has been a beacon of freedom to the world's oppressed and has been a global dam holding back this world’s anti-Semitism, oppressive tyrannies, and the unbridled passions of fallen despots, especially in this last century. With her gone; what then? What then?
Dear friends, let me ask you this very sobering question, “What do you think will become of the world once America's restraining influence has been removed from the scene?” The very sobering answer is... GREAT global tribulation and global anti-Semitism (Zech 14:2, Rev 6-16). Just begin to read the Book of Revelation from chapters 6 to 19 and you will get a good enough picture of what will be! America in these last 60 years has truly given herself over to lawlessness, lewdness, godless pleasure-seeking, immorality, vice, abortion, anti-family values, godless ambitions, demonic euphemisms, and to the absolute hatred and disdain of biblical TRUTH and REALITIES (Eph. 2:1-2). Dear friends, when the American dam, which is holding back Satan and this world's EXPONENTIAL evil designs breaks at the Rapture, what then my friends? What then?
Beloved, may we who personally know the Lord Jesus as our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Savior, pray with one Spirit that our Heavenly Father will give us His ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE and His DIVINE INSIGHT for our day and in this hour to be the bright burnings lights for Jesus that we so need to be; and that we might have eyes to see REALITY and TRUTH, not just from our position in Christ (Eph. 2:6, Col. 3:1-4, Rev 4-5), but also to comprehend our day and hour in which we live (Prov. 2:6, Matt. 7:7, James 1:5). Dear friend, if you are reading this post and know not the Lord Jesus; may you place your trust in Him today! In Jesus is ETERNAL hope!
Maranatha! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
Live away from cities and in Red States. Best advice I got, unless you have access to some kind of private island somewhere.
Agreed. My wife and I moved from Oregon to rural Oklahoma to be near my daughter. Life transforming.
CW II followed by Russian attack against our mutual enemy, the deep state.
bkmk
Agreed. But there are a lot of us who just cannot afford to do that.
Or hide in caves...??
Rev. 6
When we moved off the East coast to rural MO, we landed with $73.00 to our name but my wife got a transfer to USPS. Problem is, she was an associate rural mail carrier aka a fill in for the regular carrier when they called in sick or went on vacation. The route wasn’t big enough to get one day a week guaranteed. We lived primitive and dirt poor for two years, off grid.
Then we found a fire damaged house to tear down for the materials and I found a job near there. Then we found 8 acres for sale, owner finance with little money down. We brought the materials from that fire damaged house here, cut down a bunch of trees, made a driveway and built a cabin and small shop. The wife found a job here and I went to work on building a homestead. It was almost three years before we got electric service installed. I had to clear the easement.
Then we signed a contract for the adjoining 7 acres and I fenced in about 12 acres, mostly going through woods. Then I bought three meat goats last Spring, a Boer buck and two Kiko does. Next Spring we’ll be putting any bucklings in the freezer. We did get a buckling this past Spring but I decided to keep him for breeding because he’s higher percentage Kiko and Kiko are known for low maintenance. We’ve got one laying hen and she’s broody right now so I need to get some fertilized eggs from the neighbor and swap them out. She’s the last of 5 hens and a rooster that the hawks got but she’s a survivor. I quit feeding her months ago but she still lays an egg most every day. I want her to raise chicks and teach them how to avoid hawks and hopefully give us more 100% free eggs. I did spend $80 on hay last winter and need to clear a LOT more trees to get more grasses/forbes growing but will likely always have to feed some hay.
Kunekune pigs are next. The only true pasture pig that can eat grass alone. They root very little as well.
If you’re willing to make a sacrifice and work you butt off, it doesn’t take a lot of money. The place we lived for that first two years was called ‘primitive campsites’ and cost $495/yr for rent. No utilities. We brought a 350 watts solar panel setup with us from FL and added another 150 watt panel later. That ran a 12vdc chest freezer/fridge, charged our phone, ran 12vdc LED lighting, TV and DVD player. We had the smallest generator available from Harbor Freight, 900 watt two stroke model which is just enough to run a 5,000 btu AC unit after the sun went down past the trees to cool things off a little for bed time.
Been out here going on 11 years now. Still don’t have a well.($10k price) I want to pay the 8 acres off first. I have a 220 gal tank on a trailer and fill it from a Spring fed creek for general purpose water and fill a 55 gal drum from a neighbor’s well for coffee/cooking. We buy 24/30 pack drinking water for drinking because the well water here is limey and doesn’t taste great.
I’ve got a couple of 1950 Chevy trucks to fix up and sell to pay off the 8 acres.
Took two years to find this place but we’re surrounded by Springs that put out potable, if limey, water. We’ve got 12-24” of top soil and the USDA soil survey refers to it as Prime Farmland soil. It’s classified as Clayey Loam.
$42/yr property taxes. Electric is cheap for now though I’m thinking about getting the solar panels set up again and maybe expand on it. We still need a real house and that will be of passive solar design with a greenhouse full length across the S/SE facing elevation.
$73.00 we started with. BUT, I’m crazy and good with my hands. Haven’t heard a siren or foreign accent in years. We hear gun shots but their aimed at targets or game animals instead of people. Neighbors on each side own their land for recreational/weekend use so we usually don’t have neighbors.
I’ve been looking for an island to move to!
Outstanding!
First two years we were here was the heat wave years with temps up around 110 for weeks. Miserable. The second year was when we tore the house down. I would work from 6am to 1pm and then a little in the early evening.
Got the frame for a high tunnel and got a spot picked out for a root cellar on the little North facing slope we have. We’re gonna survive dammit.
