One problem though, is many Christians do not listen to God today. They have been told that his commands are not for them or are no longer valid, so they listen only to their preacher, pastor or whoever.

Yes. How can we reach them? I personally think that will be at least part of the reasoning behind the Great Tribulation. I think it will be one last attempt by God to reach the world before Jesus returns. I guess we just have to faithfully keep plodding on...

The only ones we can control are ourselves. We warn others as we go, but their decision is ultimately theirs. Judgment always starts at the house of God, and goes from there.

All good sentiments. Only problem with the video I have, is this. You assert that God is vital to the self-reliancy enterprise, and I would not disagree. Nevertheless, you never actually provide an argument why this might be so; you never actually state what faith provides over and above useful skills, tools, stores, etc. So, I think addressing this issue might make your video more persuasive. Not negativity, just constructive feedback.

Best wishes, Strivax.

They have been deceived into thinking that believers never suffer hardship. Scriptures and history destroy that notion. Having to prep is a hardship that averts great suffering. It is not easy to prep. It takes time and some money. Wisdom says do it. Common sense says do it.

Nice video. The point about not really owning your land is really important. The constant need to pay rates means as soon as you don't your land is forfeit, so basically your renting your land.

Also belief in God and following God's path for you will be essential in the end times. You may be forced on foot and self-sufficiency and survival skills would be very useful. But keeping close to God and following Him can assist in many other ways. Are you to stay, are you to flee, are you to move to this location, do you act now or later. We can receive guidance on all of these things.

Another point is that the events of the great tribulation and the beginning of sorrows involve war, death, famine, persecution and death on extreme levels. Being close to God is essential if we are moving into those times. Thanks for the video.
