Basically the Fourth Reich on a global scale.
So my question for those of you who believe in the post-trib rapture, what preparations have you made to 'go through it?'
Not merely in the area of personal, individual, family preparation, but CHURCH preparation? Have you established a network of fellow believers, trustworthy and known to you, that you can depend on (and who can depend on you)?
And finally, what would you say to someone who just recently came to the conclusion that post-trib is correct Bible truth?
Just pray and keep going to church?
Or are there specific steps to be made to prepare for such a time of trouble? Contacts to be made, things to be acquired and things to let go of...?
What say ye?

One man in the 60's preached to get out of the cities and learn to live in the country, and raise your own gardens. He also preached to get out of debt. He went on to call certain areas "Blessed Area's" where church folks should move and learn to live together and strengthen one another. While I think this is good in theory, I don't know that it is what God had in mind.
The first church existed and grew during times of persecution. They had to scatter at times in order to survive, but they did survive. I am convinced that regardless of what happens, the body of Christ will survive.
