  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I believe the end of days is near and soon there will be persecution that Christians will need to be fleeing from even here in the western hemisphere. I also don't believe the "pre-trib rapture" theory is scriptural.
This post is not to convince you the end is near, it is not to debate the pre-trib or post trib rapure doctrine, the point is for those who already believe it is here and are feeling a call to prepare themselves.

Here are a couple of videos I made talking about surviving during the tribulation for purposes of continuing to spread the gospel.

I agree that its not pretrib.. After all 1 corinthians dpes say at the last trumpet. That would be right before the bowls of God's wrath.. The part i don't agree with is the fleeing part of your plan. Why flee? Is that just avoiding the inevitable. To be martyred for Christ's name sake. Now there is great reward in that. But to flee and live a life on the run. Then die of natural causes if your lucky only a few years later.. I don't think so. Remember that if you are fleeing to the woods that the fear of man will be taken outta the animals in that time.. So now you really are being hunted.. Or you could spend a few seconds being beheaded or killed some other way.. Then you are eternally in bliss. I just hope i don't have to look at the faces of those so called christians running to save their lives as i am ru ning toward them to get to the executioners platform..

i agree with you bro these things are near. At the door. as for martyrdom. i would say that all professing Christians have one of three fates before them 1. martyrdom, 2. suffering hardship and persecution until the Lords return., .3 Deny Christ and fall away. i fear that many in USA will fall into the third category

Yeshua said it will be like in the days of Noah. Noah followed God's instructions and built an ark (protection by God for obeying), the waters raised (tribulation) the waters were 15 cubits above the mountains. So why 15 cubits? 15 is one of the numbers of YHWH's name, so those in the ark were raised up with God, though they rode the storm of tribulation in the ark.

Not being able to buy anything by not taking the mark of the beast shows we need to prepare

Preparing like Noah is the right thing to do, knowing protection will come from obeying. And like those in ark, like kind should gather with like kind.

In Matthew 24 we are told to flee and don't turn back for anything (i think of Lot's wife).

Martyrdom is sacrificing ones self in faith so others may live. Not waiting for the inevitable. First century martyrs dying in the arena showed the strength of their faith, waiting to die at the hands of the servants of the Beast would be throwing pearls before pigs.
