BE PREPARED

   If you want truth, the ultimate source of truth today is the Holy Bible, for the Bible is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.  God is holy and therefore it is impossible for God to lie, nor to distort, distract, or deceive you from knowing truth.  You can read the Bible for yourself and learn truth from God, or you can attend a true Bible-believing church and have God's Word explained to you by people who have studied His Word for years and years.  And all of the truth you can learn from God's Word is free.
   Secondly, another source for truth today is the internet because there are many people in the world who have been seekers of truth.  They have studied, they have researched information, and they have posted their findings on the internet.  People have been doing this for years and years, not for a few days or for a few minutes.  Some people have devoted most of their lives in the quest to ascertain truth.  And their findings, on the internet, are free.
   Thirdly, you can perform your own research for truth if truth is what you want.  You can do your own research of the Bible or any other topic that is on your mind.  And truthful information is available, but you must be willing to work to find it.
   So then, outside of the Bible and from the internet, where are you hearing truth today? 
   You are not.
   All of the news media outlets today---radio, television, newspapers, magazines---are giving you controlled news:  they are reporting news that certain people want you to hear, but not everything.  Many events in this world are hidden from the media because certain people do not want people to know everything. 
   For example, the suffering of children and women throughout the world today is not covered on the evening news, nor on the headlines of newspapers, is it?  This is a big event and millions of people are suffering.  Why would certain people not want you to know this factual information?
   Furthermore, millions of people today are suffering from starvation, sickness, disease, plagues, and pestilences.  Certain people, however, do not want you to know this factual information.  Why not?
   Certain people in the world today, the richest and most powerful people in the world, also control the news media throughout the world; therefore they have the power to control, to distort, and to hide truth from people.  They do not want you to know everything.  Instead, they want to control you and how you think and in what they want you to believe as truth, but not the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
  Because people have been fed information this way for years and even decades, the minds of people have been conditioned to believe that if they hear it or read in the news media outlets then it must be truth.  And if people hear information that is not from the news media outlets, they believe that it must not be truth; for if what they are hearing is truth, then surely it would be on television!  They would have heard it on the radio!  They would have read it in the newspaper!
  The minds of people have been distorted from truth for so long that when they finally hear true truth from the Word of God this is foreign information to their ears.  It is unbelievable!  They reject it as myth and fairytale!  And we who report truth from the Word of God are considered to be mentally instable.  That our minds are twisted.  That we are old hat or old school and that we, in a way, have lost our minds, gone insane, a bit cuckoo, and we are definitely not normal people!
   Really?  Not normal?
  Biblical prophecy is being performed in front of our eyes and we are not normal? 
   Jesus said there will be pestilences, plagues, earthquakes, signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars.  These events are unfolding in front of our hours, but we who are witnessing and reporting these events at this very time are considered to be not normal. 
   Conditions are going to get worse and worse, but we are not normal.
   Soon and very soon, catastrophic events will begin to happen, but we are not normal.
   Today, catastrophies are necessary in order for people to believe that God is God.
   Be prepared.
