Delivered by Trouble!

Listen to this blog.

Michael, the chief of the angels, is the protector of your people, and he will come at a time of terrible suffering, the worst in all of history. And your people who have their names written in The Book will be protected.  Many of those who lie dead in the ground will rise from death. Some of them will be given eternal life, and others will receive nothing but eternal shame and disgrace.

Everyone who has been wise will shine as bright as the sky above, and everyone who has led others to please God will shine forever like the stars.

Daniel 12:1-3

If the worst suffering in all of history is still in the future, how do we prepare to "get through it?"

Survivalist techniques can help you last a bit longer in a dire emergency. Food and water storage can give you time to address other urgent, but maybe not life threatening issues. Preparing for disaster is becoming a very big business in the United States.

But if the trouble that appears to be coming is the trouble that is predicted just prior to the return of Jesus Christ, all your gathering of supplies is fundamentally futile.

Here is the hope! If your name is written in the Book, you will be protected! That means if your name is not written in the Book you will not be protected. So spend your preparation time insuring that your name is in God's Book! If it is, even though the storm may come you will be safe. If it is not, no amount of stored supplies will get you through the trouble that is coming.

"Thank you Lord, that whatever trouble comes to Your children you will deliver them from it, or by it. We most look forward to that moment when we arrive in Heaven to live with You forever! Amen."
