Ditch the Bunker, Embrace the Rapture: A Frugal Prepper's Guide by Ben Ross and Gemini AI

Ditch the Bunker, Embrace the Rapture: A Frugal Prepper's Guide

In an era of rising anxieties, many are considering building expensive bunkers to weather potential end-times scenarios. But for the truly budget-conscious believer, there's a far more economical strategy: preparing for the Rapture. Why invest in concrete and canned goods when you can invest in faith?

The Bunker Busting Budget:

Let's face it, bunkers are pricey. We're talking reinforced concrete, air filtration systems, long-term food storage, and potentially even armed security. That kind of investment could easily set you back hundreds of thousands of dollars. Instead, consider the following Rapture-ready, money-saving tips:

  • Skip the Structural Upgrades: No need to reinforce your basement or dig a subterranean shelter. Your current abode will do just fine, at least until you're called up.

  • Forego the Freeze-Dried Feast: Why stockpile years' worth of survival rations? A well-stocked pantry is sufficient for the short term, and any leftovers will be of no concern to you after the Rapture.

  • Ditch the Diesel Generator: Forget about backup power. The lights won't matter when you're soaring through the clouds.

  • Cancel the Security System: No need for surveillance cameras or motion detectors. Who's going to break in when half the population has vanished?

  • Invest in Spiritual, Not Physical, Preparedness: Instead of spending money on physical goods, invest time in prayer, Bible study, and building your relationship with God. These are the only true provisions you'll need.

The Rapture-Ready Savings Plan:

Imagine the possibilities! With the money you save by skipping the bunker, you could:

  • Pay off Debt: Free yourself from financial burdens before your spiritual ascension.

  • Donate to Charity: Leave a legacy of generosity and support for those left behind.

  • Travel the World (While You Still Can): Experience the beauty of God's creation before the end times.

  • Invest in a Really Nice Cloud-Shaped Pillow: For those pre-rapture naps.

  • Simply enjoy life: Live your life to the fullest, knowing that your ultimate destination is secure.

A Word of Caution (and Encouragement):

While this approach is undeniably cost-effective, it's essential to remember that faith is the foundation of this strategy. Building a strong spiritual connection is paramount. And, of course, no one knows the exact timing of the Rapture.

So, ditch the bunker, embrace the Rapture, and enjoy the financial freedom that comes with it. After all, why worry about worldly possessions when you're about to inherit eternal glory?

What To Do While We Wait

Waiting On The Rapture? Do This:

We don’t know when the Rapture will take place, but we are told to “do business till I come,” in the book of Luke 19:13. Jesus is saying that we need do the Fathers business until He comes back. I think we all want Jesus to return sooner than later. We feel like we are really wanting God to deliver us from our troubles and fears. But we should not live in fear. God has not given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). I think the best thing we can do is ask God for a solution to our problems in the right now and not in the by and by. My Bible tells me that the righteous are delivered out of trouble and it comes to the wicked instead (Proverbs 11:8). My point in this detour message before I get to the main message is we should be occupying our time with getting ready for Christ return and being found by Him in peace.

Main Message:

We should all be occupying our time with Jesus’ work instead of going about our own business in life. If you go through life and never know Jesus. You are risking your eternal destination. If you do know Jesus, and you don’t spend your life getting to know God and His Son Jesus better and better, you could end up not getting rewards or worse, being found by Him not ready for His return. What should you do? First, have a life free from sin. You may not get it right everyday, but you should consistently be walking in the light and not in darkness. Do you know the difference between good and evil? If not, that should be on your to do list. Second, I think we should all be excersising our faith in good works. That means volunteering at church or another organization, helping the sick and needy. Spending your money on profitable things like homeless shelters and church missions. We should all do our best to live a life of light where people can see you have faith. Like in the book of James, faith without works is dead. Lastly, you should be looking to grow. Grow what God has planted in you. This could look like reading more of your bible and seeking understanding about what your reading. This could also look like growing in the fruits of the spirit like patience and how kind you are to others and how loving you are. People should know we are Christians instead of saying one thing and doing evil the next minute. This isn’t a comprehensive list on everything we should do before the rapture. It is a jumping off point to ask yourself are you ready for Christ return or do you just want the vacation without actually doing the work first? Anyway God bless you and thank you for reading.
