If you want to ‘prep’ for the end times, it must be done from a biblical standpoint otherwise your efforts will be in vain
The Lord Jesus told us that all of the law was summarized in these two sayings— Love the Lord your God and Love your neighbor
I firmly believe the proper manner to prep (sustain) can be done in the same way
First and foremost, before we do anything, we must Love the Lord God Almighty with our entire heart otherwise we will be led astray by deceitful spirits
Led into fear, led into believing lies, etc.
The Spirit foretold of a specific end-times season when the Christian community would depart from sound doctrine
That being said, to Love the Lord your God is to be spiritually prepped
We must ground ourselves in faith. This can be done through prayer, reading the Word, fellowshiping, and researching
Study to show yourself approved and seek the Kingdom of Heaven first. Everything else will be added unto you
In regards to the physical, I believe a good way to prep in this manner is to take your loved ones (neighbors, family, etc.) into account first
Not everyone has received the blessing from God to have the eyes and ears to see what’s on the horizon
There was likely a time where we too thought the end times was ‘crazy talk’
To love your neighbor is to care for them and where their soul ends up
Share the Good News with them, warn them of what’s coming, and also have an abundance of items that may be proven vital during the event of chaos/collapse. Keep in mind not everyone prepares. Those who might’ve ridiculed you in times past will be flocking to you for a meal
Physical preps can be anything from extra food, water, seeds, Bibles, Guns/Ammo, a safe haven, Solar/gas power, tools, gear, gold/silver/jewelry, etc.
If you’ve seen the movie Fahrenheit 451, you know that predictive programming has foretold us there will be a time where physical copies of books (the Bible) will be outlawed
So make sure to have a few extra Bibles on hand
Anything that has inherent value that you find yourself using on a day to day basis will most likely come in handy when chaos erupts
I’ve always believed that having extra food/water on hand will not only help you feed a loved one or a stranger in a time of need but it will also present you with an opportunity to share the gospel with that person
That’s what all of this boils down to. The end times and the great commission go hand in hand
Many will depart from the faith, but many new believers will enter into the faith
If you are in a financial bind: exercise, training, and general survival skills/knowledge can be of a huge benefit to you or your loved ones
You could even set up ‘bug out bags’ for you and your family/friends with things you already own— extra clothing, spare food, first aid, etc.
Some people can’t afford to prep. Others don’t believe in it. That’s why I say the most important thing to focus on ‘prepping’ is your spirit
Let’s say you have stockpiles of food, guns, the best gear, etc. and something tragic happens on the way to your rendezvous point and you die
Having the most or the best of something doesn’t mean anything after that. The only thing that matters is where your soul goes
We may prep for years and never get to use said preps
No matter how hard we may try to extend our lives, our future is ultimately in Gods hands, and He can call us out of here at any point in time
That’s why spiritual prepping is most important. It’s the one thing we can all afford to do. Salvation is literally a FREE gift
Fill your heart and mind with Gods Word. Don’t let the worries of the world lead you to a place distant from God
Pray over the matter. Let God guide you to whatever He sees best
Prepping is fun. Guns are cool. There is peace in having a little extra of everything tucked away just in case
I am no expert in prepping, so if I missed anything feel free to comment below
God bless y’all

Yanis Varoufakis (former Greek Minister of Finance) describes AI as a new form of capital that produces not goods, but behavioral modification. This is achieved by engineering perceptions.
The answers provided by ChatGPT, or the images rendered by StableDiffusion — as these increasingly inform our perceptions, they in turn define the reality we experience.
This is what makes AI so powerful — he who controls the AI, defines the reality of tomorrow.
⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.

My older sister lives in the country in between Velma Oklahoma and Duncan Oklahoma near the Fuqua Lake area, this story was told by a rural mail delivery woman who delivers the mail in the country.
The incident happened while she was on her route, when she came upon to the mailbox a male Chinese nation came out brandishing a, AK-47 rifle being very hostile,
I don't know if he pointed it at her since it is against the law to do so but she was terrified and said she was never going back and that the location that had a guard tower. Was the sheriff department notified, I don't know, did she notify her supervisor, don't know. But word is from the country folk who live in the area they have seen the guard tower at the pot place;
I refuse to call it a farm because it is an insult to farmers.
And yes she was traumatized by that ordeal
