Hands up those of you who thought World War III or the Collapse would start today? World War III and the Collapse have been in the process for a very long time now and it takes little for those open to the emet (truth) to realise where we are inevitably headed. Arguably there has been an undeclared Word War since the peace that ended the European and Asian theatres of World War II in 1945.

I say this not to be a smart aleck but to be a realist. You only have to read books like Zbigniew Brzezinski's The Grant Chessboard, Carol Quigley's Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time or Robert Fisk's The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East to understand that the Trotskyite notion of 'perpetual revolution' has been built into Illuminist plans since the very beginning. It just more developped now.

Since 1945 the nature of war has changed dramatically. Armies no longer face one another along classical lines or fronts of offence or defence because the accepted codes by which Christian nations once fought wars have long since been abandoned. Largely left out of the direct conflict in olden days, now civilians are part of the strategies and conduct of war. Wars are fought by guerillas who have mutated into terrorists with government armies copycatting them. We have indeed been conditioned - purposefully - to accept the idea of living in a state if perpetual war - the enemy can, and does, strike anywhere at anytime while all around appears peaceful. But it's an illusion. Worse, in many respects, our own governments are openly waging wag against their own civilians who elected them for protection.

The world has forgotten what true government is for. No longer does is serve its divinely ordained purpose as defender of the nation, keeper of the peace and protector of property. The nation (country) doesn't matter any more because the Illuminists want to do away with them and totally centralise power globally...in their blood-stained hands. The government no longer keeps the peace but incites lawlessness, racism, immorality, you name it, in order to create as much chaos as possible to give them a pretext to establish martial law. And the government no longer protects private property but is systematically looting its own civilians so that it has the wealth to maintain absolute power. This is what is happening. Governments have lost their divine mandates and civilians have turned away from moral living and have embraced lawlessness, so really the two - government and society - deserve one another. They feed off one another's greed and wickedness.

Judgment has to come for the sake of the righteous who will otherwise be overwhelmed. Judgment is coming, therefore, not only to corrupt and wicked governments but also to wicked civilians. It is also coming for the sake of the wicked, to give them a last chance to repent before Messiah returns when the day of repenting is at an end. We are now going through a dress rehearsal of the Final Judgment. It's not going to be fun, believers need to be prepared both by getting right with Elohim (God) and by materially preparing for a protracted period of lack, danger and want. The 72-day count is one of several counts taking place both serially as well as concurrently or in parallel.

The 72-day count was (and is until the current day is at an end) primarily about getting spiritually right with Yahweh. But it was also for getting your preparation completed. I can't say whether there will be more time for prepping or not, there may well be. One thing is 100 percent certain: there is going to be a complete economic collapse within the next few months this Gregorian year and if you are not prepared you risk either dying or becoming totally impoverished and a perpetual debt-slave to the élites. Those are the stakes and they're nothing to laugh about. But it won't necessarily do you much good if you have physically prepared but haven't spiritually prepared. You still need divine protection.

Yah'shua (Jesus) warns about the rich man who prepped for his old age but didn't realise he was about to be taken home (Lk.12:16-21). His motives were wrong. They were egocentric and selfish - "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward Elohim (God)" (Luke 12:21, NIV). The reason we are prepping is not primarily so that we can survive for our own sakes but so we can survive to prosper in His service. We do not live for ourselves - we live to be of use to the Master. And if we are destitute, homeless and starving, what use are we going to be in serving others? We will need taking care of instead of the other way round. We have to be both practically available as well as to be a spiritual light, examples of what Yahweh does for those who are obedient and trusting.

So what was the 72 count for? It was, primarily (though not exclusively) to get people spiritually prepared. Those who haven't made fundamentally important salvational choices by the end of today probably won't have the time to work through the processes and issues that hold them bound before all hell is let loose. Think of the five foolish virgins in Yah'shua's (Jesus') parable. They were unprepared and didn't leave themselves enough time to get oil. They were not allowed into the wedding, were they? And that is a type of the Sanctuary to which the Remnant was called during the Great 16 Day Dedication of Messianic Israel. They were left outside in the Courtyard to weather the storms with everyone else, believers and unbelievers alike. The parable is all about the Second Coming and the Final Judgment, of course. Let me just share it with you so that we do not miss what is going on:

"Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!' Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' But the wise answered, saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.' And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Master, Master, open to us!' But he answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.' Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming" (Matt.25:1-13, NKJV).

We obviously cannot apply this parable directly to our situation because this isn't, as the false prophets of Christendom are claiming, the evening before the Second Coming (or Rapture), even though it may look like it. Yes, the parable can be applied to those who die without the Besorah (Gospel) but that isn't its principle meaning. The last generation will be able to apply this passage directly knowing that those who remain in the Outer Court then will most certainly perish.

The application to us in the dress rehearsal should be obvious. Those who have not prepped are going to be like the virgins who did not have enough oil. They will ask those who have prepped for help but those who have prepped will tell them, "No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves." That is one obvious application of this parable. The other concerns spiritual preparedness for those who do not have the oil of the Shavu'ot Anointing will not be allowed into the Sanctuary. What does the word 'sanctuary' mean? A place of safety. They will find themselves in a very unsafe place.

So whatever you do, don't stop prepping for as long as you are able to. Keep storing 'oil'. And if you have prepared enough for yourself and family, prepare extra for those whom Yahweh sends to you, who did all they could with time and resources but did not have enough. If they squandered time and resources on unnecessary things, then they will be as the foolish virgins. And even though the latter will try to get inside the homes of those who have prepared diligently and obediently, they will not be able to, because they will be supernaturally shut out of the arks of those that are riding the storm according to divine tavnith (pattern). You will recall the vision I saw of the bitterly weeping man trying to get into my home thumping on my door but could not because there was an invisible supernatural force blocking him. It was no more possible for him to get onboard that it would have been for those ante-Diluvian people trying to get on Noah's Ark after the rain storms broke. You cannot open a door that Yahweh has Himself shut until He Himself opens it.

The world situation will deteriorate and a day will come when the entire global economy implodes and the dollar, and all other currency, will probably not be worth more than a few cents. Your only assets will be your homes, food, medicines, precious metals and other tangibles. And you will, if you have left the Courtyard and stepped into the Sanctuary, discover that your places of refuge will be impenetratable, uncapsizable arks of safety which the enemy will not be able to touch. That is what the 72 days have been primarily for - the supernatural element.
