Preppers are not prepping for the tribulation. I know of no-one who does this. The vast majority of preppers do so for economic collapse... something that is a certainty.
To a lessor degree we prep for natural catastrophe, social upheaval, or a government gone bad.
Nobody can deny that these things happen. History is on our side. Look back over the last 2000 years and just observe the facts. Christians have starved, been tortured, been executed in every age. When people died in catastrophe, social upheaval, and war... Christians were right in there dying with them. No-where does God tell us that we have to simply lay down and be victims. The scripture is jammed with examples of how we should behave and what we should do. It is not die.
Interesting that Noah and his family were said to be saved... not above it. Not taken out of it. But they were brought safely THROUGH the water. Through the trouble... through the tribulation.
1 Peter 3:20
"who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water."
You cannot go against the word of God. You can resist it. You can deny it. But you can never defeat it or overcome it. Surrender to it.
Noah was warned of God and FEARED.
He feared because he BELIEVED the WORD of God insomuch that he PREPARED and ark.
Heb 11:7
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear,prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Do you beleive God? Do you believe His Word? Do you "fear" because of it?
Do you beleive so much that you will "PREPARE"?
Do you "PREPARE" so that you can be brought safely "THROUGH" the tribulation?
Those who hear, believe, fear, and prepare will also stand in condemnation of those who did not.
We are the heirs of righteousness which is by faith.
BELIEVE!
FEAR!
PREPARE!
Save the life of your family.
