MATTHEW 24 in speaking of the future troubles Jesus says
9“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,
It will be easy to round all the Christians up when they are in the same place.
My answer:
Okay, let me try to draw a picture that will explain the real situation.
There are 3100 counties in the US.
Many of them have Sheriffs who will play ball with the Hegemony. Many will not.
What percentages turn out to be will not be known until that time.
However, one thing is an absolute, very basic, and easy to understand truth:
The large cities, and in "Bad" counties where Sheriff have taken MRAPs etc, etc will be the easiest places to round up, impound and control / imprison, export, and execute, etc the largest numbers of the population.
Get out of the cities. Find out where your sheriff is going to come down on gun control. If eh is a Federal Sycophant, make plans to get the hell out of that county. Pretty simple stuff.
Follow Francis Schaeffer's sequence of remaining free:
Protest (too late)
Flight (still an available option)
Fight (always an option)
Most of "their" resources will be used up in those high population areas.
Technology is expensive and is "removable" with cheap, effective and readily available materials. rest assured, much of that technology / assets will be exactly that "Used Up." This was the basis of the Star Wars missile defense under Reagan.
(And an aside, this is a damn good reason to read Sci-Fi authors such as Jerry Pournelle co-author of Lucifer's Hammer.
Pournelle was the co-author of The Strategy of Technology which is used in war colleges and was the basis of the Star Wars defense.) The idea is -got incoming missiles? Throw rocks at them -like a giant shotgun blast. Or, Kids with remote control cheap, stripped down fighter planes... predator drones anyone -and You thought those were new?
I suggest that instead of people making blithe, banal, off the cuff, vapid,
knee jerk comments, they should first read a bit of history.
We are due to repeat quite a bit of it in this nation very soon.
It is going to be bloody. It is going to be horrifying.
It is going to be well nigh the end of the entire population base of this nation.
I have read history, and what I say I see coming, is based on everything
-scripture, science, history, etc, because it all agrees and it all says the same thing.
Ignore me at your own risk.
In an area six times larger than Switzerland, which is better provisioned by a factor of a magnitude or two,
what you are saying, "It will be easy to round all the Christians up when they are in the same place," will be highly unlikely to impossible.
"Consider all of these diverse factors
that also line up with history,
ie the same escape route applies to every nation in every century
when invaded,
as to where refugees go in time of invasion -the interior of the land mass, and high ground which is defensible
We are living in a time when the cultural, historical, religious,
racial, economic, and geographical study of regions / nations like
Switzerland & Afghanistan become critical.
What do I mean? Afghanistan is what is historically called >THE GRAVEYARD OF EMPIRES.<
Why? If you are stupid enough, and proud enough, and over extended
enough to attack Afghanistan,
it means your empire is about to die.
Russia failed. The Berlin Wall came down. The USSR broke up. We will
fail. Period.
You cannot defeat and rule a nation of warriors when they own the high ground. Period.
Why did Hitler not invade Switzerland? He did confront them;
He asked them: >What if I invade with one million troops?<
Their answer? >WE WILL SHOOT TWICE...AND GO HOME.<
Anybody know the Swiss Militia Credo??? No? It is:
Ein Schweizer, Sieben Deutsche. –(One Swiss, Seven Germans:o)
How did Russia fare when they invaded Finland In 1939 in what is known as
The Winter War???
Russia
had superiority in tanks, airplanes, and troops up to 200 to one.
450,000 Soviet troops crossed the border. They were met by the small
Finnish army which initially numbered only 180,000. The Finns were
badly outnumbered in all areas during the conflict with the Soviets also
possessing superiority in armor (6,541 to 30) and aircraft (3,800 to
130). http://militaryhistory.about.com/od/navalbattles1900today/p/winterwar.htm
The
Finns had Skis and rifles, and knowledge of the terrain.
Who won?
Stalin said that 1.5 million troops went to Finland,
one million stayed
there...forever. The kill ratio was 40 to 1.
I have stated many times;
"It does not matter what you believe. It does not matter what you want.
It does not make a hill of beans difference what your favorite theologian or prophecy writer says.
The only determining factor is what the Most High God has determined from the foundation of the world
will come to pass in the end times, and what He has clearly been doing over the past several decades.
I
am only looking at his work in history, in scripture, in the movements
of hundreds of thousands
of families over the past decades, and in personal prophecies.
If you have a problem with the way He is handling things, please take that up with Him.
If you will humble yourself, and be willing to listen, He will freely shed light on the issue.
The other option is; ignore what I say to your own demise, and that of others that you could have warned.
A Caveat is -of course the safest place for you is in the center of God's will.
However, far too many people are going to die, because they thought that they were smart enough to think for themselves.
Millions of others will die because while they realized they were not smart enough to think for themselves,
they chose the wrong theologian, prophecy guru, or patriot leader to do their thinking for them."
