"They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand" (Isa.44:18, NIV).

Shabbat shalom kol beit Yisra'el and may the grace of Yah'shua (Jesus) our Messiah be upon you! We're in the 13th and last month of the current biblical year, the month of March in the Roman system, and we are precariously close to the final collapse I have been warning you about for the last few years even though we have been on a gradual descent now for some years. A prophetic day of judgment is inescapable now. In case you think I have in any way done a U-turn from what I have preached let me assure everyone that I have not - far from it. I stand by every word I have said.

Having assured you of that, what, you may be asking, can we now expect, and what should we be doing now at this late hour? I'll not beat about the bush but get straight to the point.

1. What can we expect? We can expect the same pattern as the last century. When the Great Depression started in 1929, the world was at war within 10 years. That economic depression didn't end until after the war. So:

• (a) We can expect complete financial collapse in the next few weeks or months. If you have electronic money in the bank, it's going to be wiped out. If you have paper money, only keep enough for imemdiate needs. Only the other day the citizens of Cyprus learned what the banksters have been planning for all of us. Overnight, the banksters stole 10% of their bank deposits and called it 'tax'. That's nothing to what's going to happen;

• (b) We can expect global war within the next few years, or maybe sooner. A nuclear North Korea is on the brink of war with South Korea and her American allies, China and Japan have been rattling their sabres and the Middle East is ablaze. America and Israel are on the brink of war with Iran, a war they cannot win - America hasn't won a single war since World War 2 (Panama and Granada excepted) and they'll not be able to defeat Iran if the most powerful military in the world can't defeat Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam and North Korea.

2. What should we do now? Every one of the following is essential if we are not to go under and be killed or enslaved:

• 1. Get what Gerald Celente calls the '3 G's' - Guns, Gold (or silver) and have a Getaway Plan (if you don't live in the country) - make sure you have somewhere safe to go (a house - your own, a family member's or a friend's) or something mobile you can live in for a good while (like a converted bus or caravan) and make sure you get off the grid and are self-sufficient;

• 2. Don't spend a cent or penny on anything you don't absolutely need to - this is not the time to go on vaccation or get a fancy car - and certainly don't get a mortgage or borrow any money from anyone. You should have cleared all your debts, loans and mortgages by now. Instead you should be investing every last penny in food, water, medical supplies, fuel and other forms of storage (to last you a minimum of 3 months, preferably a year), make sure you have some surplus with which to trade or help others, and make sure you keep a low profile so that those who refuse to do this don't rob you when they find themselves in dire straits (that's what the guns are for - to protect yourself when law and order breaks down and the police are overwhelmed);

• 3. Dig up your lawns and grow food this summer - and if you don't have a lawn, grow it inside your houses or in greenhouses or on your walls - anywhere where vegetables will grow, and store it for winter - this will become a way of life for the survivors;

• 4. Learn an entreprenneurial trade (like a plumber, builder, farmer, chimney sweep, teacher, nurse, doctor, herbalist, pharmacist, etc. - insurance salesmen, bureaucrats, politicians, psychiatrists, social workers, etc. will likely be useless or very low priority for locals) so that you can find work in your local community after the collapse, and above all, make sure its something you enjoy because you will likely have to depend on it for the rest of your life (things will never fully return to the way they were before) - create your own opportunity and do not depend on the state for anything because you are going to have to live without the state if you don't want to be totally controlled by it. This will also give you the freedom to live the moedim (appointments) according to Yahweh's Divine Calendar and not be forced to break the Sabbath because it falls on Roman weekdays and your employer won't allow you to take time off to honour Yahweh;

• 5. Tell your relatives and friends and make sure they understand that if they don't help themselves by doing these things that you won't be able to support them when the balloon goes up (unless you are very rich and have provided for far more people than are in your current family) - many people will come to your door expecting to be fed, and if you don't have surplus (which most won't), you will have to refuse them so as not to endanger your own family's survival. Yes, really tough decisions will have to be made. Remember, the 5 wise virgins did not share their oil with the 5 foolish ones - just as your own faith and obedience cannot purchase salvation and exaltation for others who refused your witness, so you cannot be expected to endanger your family's lives because others refused to make their own preparations (which is not the same as sharing if you do have surplus, which is required of us) - at the very least they must bring their own provisions if you are giving them a roof;

  Find Others to Network With Locally

• 6. Find other like-minded people in your local community who believe in these things and whom you absolutely trust and plan how you can support one another when the collapse happens - going it alone is a lot tougher than working together with others; and last but not least,

• 7. Turn your life completely over to Yah'shua (Jesus) by getting right with Yahweh, obey His mitzvot (commandments) fervently, and teach all of this by word and by example to your family and to those of your friends who will listen. Don't bother with those who refuse to listen, for as Yahweh warned:

  "They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand" (Isa.44:18, NIV).

  What's coming is going to shake up everyone - it will turn your world upside down and nothing - I repeat, nothing - will be the same afterwards. A lot of people's hearts are going to fail them, unprepared believers as well as unprepared unbelievers. So continue to warn others of what's coming and of these things that they must do making sure that you have properly taken care of, and by no means neglected, items #1-6.

Brethren and sisters, this is not a pie-in-the-sky rant, it's down-to-earth, practical, sober reality. So wake up! Millions are already in this situation around the world and it is going to affect everyone else even - and especially - in the formerly affluent West. Whatever you do, don't rely on the government to take care of you. Look what happened when hurricane Sandy hit the Eastern United States. The government was impotent, and only preppers were prepared. Lawlessness and violence was not slow to raise its ugly head. The only thing the government is likely to do is inturn you, or worse.

Only those who are willfully blinkered are refusing to see it. They just don't want to face reality. Don't make their mistake. Don't choose slavery. I realise that the majority will not believe or accept this, including some of you reading this (including, probably, my own family) but at least responsibility for your misery or your blood will not be on my hands if you choose to ignore it. And even if I am wrong - which doesn't look very likely now - you will be none the worse off: you will be free of debt, have a sound economy, be able to take care of yourself, have learned new skills, and be better off all round - you'll be a better man or woman. And you'll be prepared for what is going to be a very unstable and uncertain few decades before Yah'shua (Jesus) returns and for the mass sell out of people to the devil in order, as they wrongly suppose, to save their skins or to gain some minor advantage at no apparent cost to themselves. Don't suppose that believers won't sell themselves out because they will and already are. Expect also to see a lot of double-mindedness.

What if you don't have the financial or other means to do all of the things I have counselled? Do what you can, be willing to do what you cannot, and trust Yahweh to take care of the rest for prosperity will come to those who choose the right - He will provide for the faithful and obedient. So become Yahweh's cypress tree! The vision of the five skycrapers leads me to believe that we have until the end of June to get the bulk of what needs to be done, which isn't very long.

Please don't fall for the lies of the politicians in America and Europe who tell you that we are now economically recovering. They have been saying this for a long time now and each time it has got worse. If you're wise you'll either hastily start making prepartions or complete them. There are plenty of good websites which can give you advice for your particular part of the world. Above all, take your plans to Yahweh and listen carefully to what He says. Make Him and the Kingdom your priority but don't neglect the practical necessities of life for your families.

I will be available if anyone wants to counsel with me though I cannot say how long I will be free to promulgate my messages on the internet before they start closing it down - or trying to. Christian internet sites have aleady been closed down in their millions by some providers on instruction from the government. It could be our turn next. We will see.

In the meantime trust Yah'shua (Jesus), guard the mitzvot (commandments), do what He tells you, follow such practical advice as I have given today, and you will be taken care of. Amen.
