FLEEING TO PLACES OF SAFETY - THE ONES THAT ARE OFF THE LIST

   I did a post yesterday on generating capital in order to finance where you choose to go.

I believe our financial systems are on life support and all those 401K accounts, savings and other things are short for this world.  I just have a gut feeling they will all be gone (or nationalized) within the next 3-5 years.  Feeling that way, I have liquidated most all of that in favor of things that will meet temporal needs when there is little left in the way of economy, industry, etc.  You will have to read the archive in order to understand why I feel the way I feel.  How many of us could execute a successful garden with just the hand tools we have on hand?  Get away from the gas mentality - power equipment, etc.  Most all of that will be non-existent at some point in our future.  Think how they got it done in 1880 or even 1780.  You really have to think outside the box - even if your garden is small.  I love the magazine, Mother Earth News.  I used to laugh at those people and mock them - now I am a fervent follower.  Those folks will most likely survive and thrive as long as they also know how to stave off the hungry hordes who have put the counsels of God at naught.....

Once you have liquidated, you will need to determine a location that provides a refuge from the storms soon to be howling about you.  One of the biggest things you will need is arable land with access to abundant water (that does not require power to extract from its source).  Due to that lightning strike (previous post), we ended up with a place that has a year-round spring-fed creek of ample flow and much arable land.   A minimum requirement is to surround yourself with people who have good values.  If they do not have those and refuse to repent, cast them out in the name of the Lord.  I have done it - and it works.  After explaining about the feelings I was having about the coming economic collapse and passing along the Mosiah Hancock prophecy, I testified to a Montana neighbor of mine (on Sept 11th, 2001) who was a Baptist youth pastor about Joseph Smith and the divinity of his role in this last dispensation.  I received a scathing, withering attack.  For his efforts, I asked God to judge between us and to send the unjust one packing so that I would not have to exist in a toxic environment.  He is gone.  God will allow you miracles in surrounding yourself with good people.  As he has directed your life, so will He direct the lives of others within their agency to fill in around you until you have people in your vicinity you can trust and who can help create a Zion environment.  You then, with your Zion mindset, can begin to foster that spirit in those around you as you reach out and love them.  I have experienced this at work with my current group.  Serve people and love them, and you will have loyalty and a Zion environment amongst people who do not even know what that is.  Ask God to weed others out who are not capable of good principle or that their hearts will be softened.  It will happen.

Some areas I would not live - even if you offered me a free luxurious mansion and taxes paid for the next couple of years.  Some places are slated for the docket.  Boston, MA - wipeout by wave.  NYC, NY fire and massive EQ.  San Fran, CA - no brainer.  LA, CA - same kind of thing.  Any place where God's definition of marriage has been impinged by a majority of the people.  I would not live in the Ogden, UT area due to nuke and EQ damage.  Forget the bench areas around the UofU and other areas where rabid apostates and proponents of gay rights have congregated.  The odd thing - is that many of these folks have congregated to the areas of their destruction - literally concentrated so that there will be utter destruction there, and right next to it, no destruction at all where the righteous reside.  On the flip side, there will be MANY people who are striving who will be taken due to collateral damage.  The secret there is to remember the lessons from Sodom.  Just stay away from people who have unitedly chosen evil and you will be fine as you watch the column of black smoke rising from your perch on the plains of Mamre (Abraham).

Entire cities will be destroyed.  Boston will go probably by tsunami.  I am sad about that - I love that old city, but the people are apparently too learned.  I judge the people (or better said, the safety of an area) by how forcefully they react to things like the building of a temple or a new chapel.  Bostonians put up quite the fight - that bodes ill for them.  Those outward rejections often reflect the inward rejections of good principle - which qualify a people for the destruction docket....  In pondering on that expected destruction, I take note of what happened in the Lisbon EQ of 1755 which I previously blogged about.  The resulting tsunami was massive and did more destruction than the EQ - the nice part was that it put out the fires that would have ravaged the city anyway.  Bad part was that the waterfront area was full of stacked corpses that were pulled from the sea - having been sucked out after the wave receded.  There is a submarine area near the source of the last tsunami that has literally cubic miles of debris that is ready to cut loose - I suspect that will generate the wave that takes out Boston.  Seattle just got a new UW president who is Mormon (and a moderate one at that.....).  Seattle just judged itself (collectively) in the comments they placed on the glowing article outlining his life - I read all 375 rancorous comments (before they pulled the article) and realized I am surrounded by people who will not endure sound principles in any way.   I have hiked the craggy peaks of the Cascades and marveled at the incalculable forces required to make them.  I know the way this group of people will be humbled - excuse me - wiped out.  The humbling of past events where God has spoken by the mouth of earthquakes and tempests has produced little or no collective change of heart or collective direction.

I love the place of Kalispell.  It will have similar destruction in the EQ that comes as the Wasatch Front with similar geology - but the people there seem more genuine than most.  You an still leave your car running there in the hot sun or cold temps and come back out from the store and it is still idling there in the spot you left it.  On Sunday, most businesses are closed and well over 70% of the people in the valley are heading to church on any given part of the Sabbath.  The Mennonites and other minorities feel comfortable enough to settle there.  Same with the local Jewish group.  The only abortion clinic in town is heavily picketed and rarely frequented.

So, choose your place carefully.  My logical mind tells me, the only real places of safety will be those on the eastern front of the Rockies above 2500 feet elevation.  Just as forces were at play in the past (after the flood in the days of Peleg) in order to create those mountains, those forces will be reversed - not unlike the uncrumpling of a piece of paper in order to make the land smooth and productive in its Millennial glory.  In so doing, there will be massive earth changes in places like Utah and Montana.

So what is the sifting agent?  Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear and the testimony of Jesus or gift of prophecy and revelation will make it.  Those will not panic in the face of insurmountable odds and who will overcome their fear and trust God to guide them.  I call it threading the needle - done by those who are the spiritual fittest.  God does not care that we pass along genes that make us (our kids) the smartest, or the best athletes.  He cares that we train them in the ways of Zion and Godly living so that He can call us Sons and Daughters of the Most High.  That is spiritual survivalism and what will ensure the perpetuation of your name - and your posterity so that you have both root and branch in God's family.
