As the end of this system approaches, we can expect more civil unrest,
war, and violence to occur. As Revelation 6:4 prophesies, the
fiery-colored horse that represents war will continue galloping until
Jesus steps in to destroy Satan's godless system of things (compare Zechariah 6:1-2).
Since we
can expect more civil unrest in the future, it is imperative for us to
be prepared, both spiritually and physically. How can we prepare in both
ways?
To prepare spiritually, we should identify Bible
principles and scriptural accounts that build our trust in Jehovah and
his earthly organization. Moreover, we should strengthen our determination to be
neutral regarding this world's political affairs. 1 Peter 4:7-8 likewise
emphasizes the need to have intense love for one another, so it is
important to build strong friendships within the Christian congregation.
We
can prepare physically by having an effective plan to shelter in place and we need
to have a reasonable amount of supplies to facilitate such preparation.
What if we have to
leave our homes? In that case, we'll need a go bag, personal protective
equipment and money, and we'll want to make sure that the elders know how
to contact us. Furthermore, we need to know their contact details. Isaiah 32:1-2
reminds us that the elders are a source of protection within the
congregation: they have our best interests at heart.
