My dear friends, I write this post with great sobriety and concern. The election is over, and it's evident that things are not going to change. There will be no impeachment or investigations, nor will there be a return to law and order or getting our economy back on track.

It was reported that Amazon is laying off employees along with Facebook and, of course, Twitter. To have the biggest marketplace in the world reduce its staff just before the most crucial part of the buying season is a sure sign that the economy is not going in the right direction. There is even talk of the possibility of Amazon going bankrupt, as they've lost over $1 trillion in market cap over the last year. No company in history has lost so much value.

Food prices keep increasing along with gas costs, and there are reports of significant shortages just over the horizon. While I have been involved in getting prepared for over 8 1/2 years because of the dream of my father warning me that destruction is imminent, things are starting to come to a head now. And while I want everyone to have the best life they can in a beautiful future, the sad reality is we face a tremendous tsunami of difficulties.

Everyone wants to talk about their plans for their next trip and where they want to go. They're watching the latest new car and truck ads, trying to decide which would be the best to buy. Since the housing price has decreased, everyone's thinking of buying another home and moving into something bigger.

Yet within six months, we will face the most significant food shortage we have ever seen in America. This will not be over in months, but it will take years to overcome. I'm begging you to go out and buy some food. I don't care where you store it; do your best. This is a cataclysmic event that will shake our nation to its core.

Things will never be the same, and we need to draw closer to God than ever before. If we had taken the advice to prepare even just two years ago, we would be much better off as now we face a significant increase in expenses to reach the same level.

I know this is a negative post with a dark and gloomy overtone, but it's been prophesied. I keep watching people on Facebook and Twitter from various religious groups claiming the rapture is just around the corner. It's not. It's sad to watch how desperate they are to be whisked away from the trials and troubles they see coming, but they don't understand the sequence of events related to the coming of our Lord.

Many other people, especially church members, think that the half-hour of silence mentioned in Revelation 7 means approximately 21 years after the opening of the seventh seal. Because of that, now that it's been 22 years afterward, surely the time must be for his glory to manifest. We have a lot more to go through.

I'm begging you to rearrange your plans, purchases, and needs to prepare for the difficulties ahead. Go to the temple as often as possible and seek God's spirit. Your ancestors on the other side will also help you.

Now is going to be the great test of our faith. We are about to witness the most extraordinary events in the history of the world for both good and evil. Food will become a weapon, and I'm begging you to get as much as possible.
