The scripture I had in mind was Matthew 11:28-30
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Chosing to to carry our own burdens is selfish in my opinion. Hording anything and refusing to give away or share is selfish. He's selfish in an area where many of us are selfish. These burdens are hard to share at times because we feel like we've earned them and they become our property of sorts. So it wasn't a judgement on him personally, just an observation according to my understanding of your description.

Don't lose sight that the Tribulation is not a time of trouble towards believers, but rather toward unbelivers. The AC is permitted to make war against believers, but the real trouble is coming from God Himself.
