While many prepper plans seem to be for someone like the above photo, most American families are not that fit or able.
There is a lot of false and fake prepping. Do you want to avoid the false and prepare for reality?
The Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following Bible News Prophecy video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel related to these matters:
14:37Prepping for Reality
With world conditions being what they are; with the wars and rumors of war with the mushroom cloud of nuclear war hanging over our heads are you prepared? Are prepping plans designed for the real world with elderly, ill, and young people? Do you have a flashlight, batteries, a can of tuna fish, and a hand crank radio stuffed into your 50-pound bug-out bag? Does your grandmother have one too? How about your young son or daughter with chronic physical problems in need of regular prescription medicine? Do they have their bug out bag stuffed under their bed next to their Barbie doll or Darth Vader sword? Are you really prepared? Or are you kidding yourself? Are you prepared for this, which Jesus prophesied, “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened” (Matthew 24:21-22). In other scriptures, Jesus gives information on how to prepare (cf. Luke 21:36; Revelation 3:7-10). Are ALL true Christians going to be protected? Or does Revelation 12:14-17 reveal two groups of believers, one group that is protected and the other which is subject to Satanic persecution? What did God inspire the prophet Zephaniah to write about how the faithful in these times should prepare? Do you want to be really prepared? Do you want you and your family to really be prepared for the worst? Then… Watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical truth on fake vs. reality prepping. Through the use of scriptures Dr. Thiel makes clear the path to safety from the horrors of the great tribulation that is right now looming on the horizon
