A voice of warning:
Doubting the interposition of God changes the picture in our minds from a spiritual to a worldly one. If God does not have a strong presence in our lives, it is only reasonable to be fearful and to commune with the rest of the world about the things that could happen to us right before his coming. Thus, I also think that at the very minimum there should be a degree of preparation in us all to endure both physically and spiritually all or some of these great and dreadful things that have been prophesied.
Of the dreadful things such as catastrophes and cataclysm or war, famine, plagues or pestilence we have an idea already of what it takes to prepare ahead in order to attempt to survive. Or, whether it is worthy or not to even prepare at all because of the magnitude of the expected perils. One should do at least the very minimum in form of temporal preparedness or contingency.
One advantage of the great things about the day of the Lord is that we have been warned for over two thousand years already, and we have been given some instructions of what to do to be able to stand that great and dreadful day. Another great thing is that we are living in times of great knowledge and of information. Resources are available everywhere to helps us prepare for what is to come. We just have to stretch our hand and partake of such knowledge and information available to most if not all.
Thinking about what the human body can reasonably endure for days, weeks of months or even years in times of crisis, for instance, we know or at least have an idea about the essentials necessities of life. And, at the very least, some basic survival skills that should help us cope with chaos. This requires some degree of preparation in advance as well as lots of courage.
Many of us will not think twice when warned if imminent danger approaching to go and buy or do whatever it takes in order to be ready to attempt to endure any of the perils that will immediately anticipate the Lord’s coming. It is the survival instinct inside of us all that compels us to prepare and to be ready for almost anything.
A good food and necessities storage plan at home and an emergency back pack with survival needs for at least three days for each member of a family will be a good idea to have handy. This just in case the calamities of the last days happen today, tomorrow or even next week and we have to flee our residences. Hopefully, we will have more time than that to prepare if it is that we have not prepared already. But we should not be complaisant or procrastinators and wait until the last minute to do it. Or else, we will face utmost difficulties.
Now, what about our spiritual instinct? How do people prepare for life after life? What does it take for us to be able to endure the brightness of the presence of God both physically and spiritually? What is the plan of God in our behalf and how do we gather the essentials necessary to survive the brightness of his coming? What powerful changes are roughed upon us and what is needed form us to receive them? And by what means or miracles some are able to survive the coming of God in glory? The answer we may have had it long ago. It is entirely imbedded in the eternal plan of salvation and in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the merits of his universal atoning sacrifice.
