Governments All Over The World Are Asking Their Citizens To Become Preppers
6 November, 2026: Recently, many European countries released statements asking their citizens to prepare for at least three days without normal services that society normally provides. Among those requests were water, food that doesn’t require cooking, necessary medications, and a cash reserve kept in the home.
Even the United States has issued these alerts. Glenn Beck, an American conservative political commentator, radio host, author, entrepreneur and television producer. He has released a commentary video on the fact that these alerts have been issued on a global scale. His video has had 6.4 million views. While I’m not here to talk about Beck’s remarks, this does show the concern worldwide for some undisclosed event about to happen.
So, the question is, should we prepare or not? That depends on your level of faith. If the thought of something coming upon you frightens you, by all means, take the steps you feel might be necessary. But do it in faith! Do it with the confidence that God has promised to meet your every need according to His riches in glory! Not the world’s riches, because the Great Depression taught our grandfathers just how quickly earthly wealth can disappear.
But you have the promise from God to take care of you. And don’t let anyone else make you feel like there is something wrong with you for wanting to prepare for an upcoming emergency. Your level of faith is enough to get you into Heaven, and that’s enough faith. I have a story I like to tell:
A man stands on his roof during a flood, the water is up to his ankles. A boat comes by; “Hop in, we’ll take you to safety,” they say. “No thank you,” the man replies, “I’m depending on God to save me.”
An hour goes by, and the water is now up to his waist. Another boat comes by; “Hop in, we’ll take you to safety,” they say. “No thank you,” the man again replies, “I’m depending on God to save me.”
Another hour passes, and the water is now up to his neck. This time a helicopter passes by overhead. They throw down a rope ladder; “Grab on, we’ll take you to safety!” They shout. “No thank you,” the man shouts back, “I’m depending on God to save me!”
A final hour goes by and the water is over the man’s head, and he drowns. In Heaven, he stands before God. “What happened,” the man complains, “I was counting on you to save me.” God looks at him and replies, “I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what were you waiting for?”
That’s what you need to keep in mind. This may be the exact way God is preparing to be ready for the events about to come upon us.
GOOD NEWS: For Christians Only
The absolute wonderful news is that there is nothing, and I mean nothing on this earth can hurt you. You have wonderful, amazing, astonishing promises in the Bible to call on and depend on to keep you safe no matter what comes upon the earth. First of all, you have the real possibility of being raptured before anything takes place. There is a catch 22 built right into the Bible, and Satan hates it. But there is nothing he can do about it.
Satan has a person just waiting for the right time. Waiting for the perfect opportunity to reveal him to the world. This man is the Antichrist. But the Bible tells us this man cannot be revealed until the Spirit holding him back is removed. Many scholars believe that this is a direct reference to the rapture of the church and the Holy Spirit. Right now, the Holy Spirit in on this earth, because he dwells in the Christians of this world. Should the Christians be taken away, the Holy Spirit goes with them.
“And now you know what is restraining him, that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains it will do so until he is taken out of the way.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 ESV
So there is a very real possibility that before the Antichrist is revealed that the church will be raptured away. In that event you have helped your fellow man who may come along after you’re gone and find your stockpile of food and water.
But even if that doesn’t happen, cling onto God’s word! Some of the most quoted Scriptures I rely on is in the 91st Psalm:
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
the arrow that flies by day,
6 the plague that stalks in darkness,
or the pestilence that ravages at noon.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand,
the pestilence will not reach you.
8 You will only see it with your eyes
and witness the punishment of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the LORD — my refuge,
the Most High — your dwelling place,
10 no harm will come to you;
no plague will come near your tent.
11 For he will give his angels orders concerning you,
to protect you in all your ways.
12 They will support you with their hands
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. – Psalms 91:5-12 CSB
How can you read this and not get excited! You will not fear the terror that comes at night, nor the weapons that are shot toward you in the day. No plague, no sickness will come near you. If a thousand people die on your left side and ten-thousand die on your right side, it won’t hurt you in the least. But you will be able to witness what happens to the evil people who tried to cause you grief. No harm will come to you. Neither will sickness visit your home.
God will provide angels to protect you in every possible way. They will pick you up off the ground if they see you’re about to stub your toe on a rock!
You have all those promises for yourself, not because of anything you did, but because you have accepted God’s gift of salvation. Therefore, these Old Testament Scriptures that are actually promised to Jesus, become ours because the Bible says we are joint heirs with him!
So this world wants us to wring our hands in worry. I say, “No thanks! I know Jesus!” Yes, the world would love to see us every bit as anxious and upset as they are. They can’t get over how calm we are in what they consider to be very troubled times. But they don’t understand that as Christians, we fear no man, no group of men, no country of men for that matter. Because we are untouchable!
The worst thing any government can do to us is take our physical lives. In that event we are immediately ushered into the very presence of God himself. And we will remain there forever. That’s more of a reward than a punishment!
Persecute Me!
The world is so confused, so ignorant, so simple minded they don’t even know the status of the genuine Christian. They act so smart and like they’re above us. Little do they know the Bible calls them fools.
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it is the power of God to us who are being saved. 19 For it is written,
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and I will set aside the intelligence of the intelligent. – 1 Corinthians 1:18-19 CSB
In the book of Acts, Christians who were persecuted considered it a privilege and an honor to be persecuted.
41 Then they went out from the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be treated shamefully on behalf of the Name. – Acts 5:41 CSB
So who cares what they say about us behind our backs? Who cares what they say to our faces? We can actually pity those fools who do these things to us, because we know they will be held accountable for every single spoken word that came out of their mouths. We can endure such punishment because we know what Jesus endured for us, and we know that we are 100% committed of having the privilege to suffer for being a follower of Jesus.
In Conclusion
So, my precious brother or sister in Jesus, what does it matter what this world is worried about? We are more than ready to face anything, and I mean anything this wicked, evil world has to bring upon us. Because not only are we conquerors, but we are More Than Conquerors!
Think of this: In March of 1775, Patrick Henry gave his own preparedness speech. And that speech is still remembered to this very day. But Henry knew more than the worriers who couldn’t find their faith or courage when it mattered. Those words ring just as true today then they did over 200 years ago:
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” – Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775.
I’m ready to fight for what I believe in, I’m ready to resist evil anywhere, any place, any time. I’m not only willing to fight for what I believe in, but I’m ready to die for it as well. And that separates us from cowards. That is the definition of a coward: Someone unwilling to die for what they believe in.
