So here are some practical questions. How much should you prep? I mean, if you're offering everyone who shows up at your doorstep food, just exactly how long do you suppose that supply will last? And if you have enough to feed everyone for 5 years and the disaster lasts 5 years and 3 months, you still don't have enough and you'll starve just like everyone else, albeit 5 years later.
The point I'm trying to make is the prepping movement is doing so blindly. When Joseph had a dream to prep, he had very specific directions from God on what to do, how to do it, and how long to prep for. Peppers today have no such thing. They're just prepping. For something. Maybe. That will last an indeterminate amount of time. Perhaps.
I'm truly not trying to be critical. As I've already said, if people feel God telling them to store up, then by all means they should store up. But there simply is no directive nor scriptural basis for prepping for some unknown occurrence that might happen someday. Noah and Joseph are often spoken of in the prepping movement. But those men had specific directions from God on what to do. The same cannot be said of this current prepping movement.
