To build a bunker OR to sit on a mountaintop. Hmmm...
I know! Build a bunker ON a mountaintop!
Just kidding.
But seriously. There is always alot of questions about
Just What are we to do?
Is the rapture going to happen before the tribulation,
or are we going to have to live through it and perhapse
lose our lives?
The only way to prepare is to be right with God
and to know His voice. Whether we get caught up
on a blissful afternoon, or we are fleeing to the wilderness
we NEED TO be obeying God`s voice.
Jesus will speak to you if you ask Him.
If you are supposed to store up food, He`ll tell you.
If you are supposed to flee or stay put, He`ll tell you.
We need to live as if Jesus is coming back right now...
and I mean RIGHT NOW.
(Im not saying stop all life and sit on a mountain)
But expect His soon return.
Soon - as in NOT 10 years from now -
but right now.
We could be raptured before any calamity,
or we could still be raptured before the trib
but experience suffering.
God knows what He`s doing,
we need to trust and obey.

What Ive done to Physically Prepare
If we get raptured before we need any of these things...
I won't care one bit about leaving this all behind to be with Christ.
I pray that someone else will be able to use my stuff.
But ultimately, if you are going to survive the tribulation,
it would be by God's grace, not your preparation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come up with some general ideas.
What are you going to do for shelter? Heat? Food?
How are you going to store water?
What are you going to cook with?
How are you going to transport children? elderly?
What if there is no gas?
If you need to leave the city, do you have a place in mind to head to?
And of course, everything changes depending if
you are taking the initiative to leave populated places
before chaos erupts, or if you are leaving quickly
and as lightly as possible.
If something disasterous happens or an emergency
arises Ive heard you have about 72 hours
to get out of populated centers before
people start getting aggetated and violent.
Below is a list of items that you may consider stalking up on.
Some are essential more or less,
others are just part of a bigger stash.

Notice I DO NOT have a radio in my list. Any type of communications device they can send signals to to locate your whereabouts. Leave your cell phone, radio, etc. I wonder if there are trackable chips inside credit cards, drivers lisence and even maybe the bands on money bills.
