If the U.S. Economy collapses or things get progressively worse to the point where various families can no longer make it on their own, what will you do? What should you do?
Of course keep in mind that this and other articles are written from the perspective of whether it happens before the Lord returns for His Church/people.
Whether or not we stay where we are or move elsewhere depends on how the events unfold if this happens. Here are some questions for your prayerful consideration that I believe every family and church needs to take seriously. Again, I hope this doesn't happen at all or the Lord returns before it does, like most everyone else. But we don't know if He will, and the economy worsens by the second.
Do you have a mortgage? If so, is it paid for? Will banks go ahead and foreclose on homes that are not paid for and you fall behind in your mortgage payments if it is a collapse? Even if your home is paid for, will your county and city let you stay if property taxes cannot be paid?
If you rent will your landlord need to move back if you're in a house or condo, and will they still have you evicted regardless of the type of home you rent if you fall behind in your rent payments?
Is the collapse accompanied by a natural or man-made EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse)?
Will the federal or state government declare martial law? Will the federal or state government mandate evacuation to the closest FEMA Center?
If you have to drive to where you're planning to go and no EMP is involved, will you have the fuel to get you there? Do you live in the city, suburbs or rural area?
Do you have enough land to hunt and/or garden? Do you live on or by a waterway?
Have you tried to talk to physical family members or Christian/Church family members to come up with a plan based on who has their home paid for, how much property they have, and where they are located?
Does your church have land and is the property paid for? What does your church think about these concerns?
Do you have food, water, and more stocked up, or will you have to go to others who do?
Who will be able to help protect you from those who would try to take things from you?
It would be wise to plan and prepare now if you haven't already. If the Lord returns before a possible (actually 'probable' is a better word me thinks) economic collapse, it won't matter anyway.
Remember: Joseph, Pharoah, the famine, and the plans & prep; The parable of the man who built up his barns for his own glory; That we should say "if the Lord wills we will do this or do that;" That he that does not provide for his own is worse than an infidel; That a man plans his way but the Lord directs his steps; To trust in the Lord with all of our hearts and lean not on our own understanding, in all our ways acknowledging Him and He will direct our paths.
Soli Deo Gloria!
