Here is St. Paul (2 Thess, Chapter 2)

The day of the Lord is not to come till the man of sin be revealed. The apostle's traditions are to be observed.

[1] And we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him: [2] That you be not easily moved from your sense, nor be terrified, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by epistle, as sent from us, as if the day of the Lord were at hand. [3] Let no man deceive you by any means, for unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, [4] Who opposeth, and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God. [5] Remember you not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

[3] "A revolt"... This revolt, or falling off, is generally understood, by the ancient fathers, of a revolt from the Roman empire, which was first to be destroyed, before the coming of Antichrist. It may, perhaps, be understood also of a revolt of many nations from the Catholic Church; which has, in part, happened already, by means of Mahomet, Luther, &c., and it may be supposed, will be more general in the days of the Antichrist.

[3] "The man of sin"... Here must be meant some particular man, as is evident from the frequent repetition of the Greek article: 'the man of sin, 'the son of perdition, 'the adversary or opposer. It agrees to the wicked and great Antichrist, who will come before the end of the world.

[4] "In the temple"... Either that of Jerusalem which some think he will rebuild; or in some Christian church, which he will pervert to his own worship: as Mahomet has done by the churches of the east.

[6] And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. [7] For the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way. [8] And then that wicked one shall be revealed whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth; and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming, him, [9] Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, [10] And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:

[10] "God shall send"... That is God shall suffer them to be deceived by lying wonders, and false miracles, in punishment of their not entertaining the love of truth.

[11] That all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity. [12] But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of God, for that God hath chosen you firstfruits unto salvation, in sanctification of the spirit, and faith of the truth: [13] Whereunto also he hath called you by our gospel, unto the purchasing of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. [14] Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle. [15] Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God and our Father, who hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope in grace,

[14] "Traditions"... See here that the unwritten traditions are no less to be received than their epistles.

[16] Exhort your hearts, and confirm you in every good work and word.

A friend with a new baby was visited by her mother and her mother's best friend, who said "How can you bring a new baby into the world at a time like this?" The new mother was terribly depressed for several weeks.

The new mother is now in her 70s.

True story; she is my friend.

What if the great battle for re-establishing all things in Christ under the Great Monarch isn't to happen for 50 years, after a Chastisement, renewal, and rapid re-decay?

In that case, it's the kids we're having (or NOT having, as the case may be) today that will be filling the ranks of the Great Monarch.

....

A) Survivalists -- those who STOP LIVING so they can ESCAPE DEATH, but they might as well be dead for how they "live" on a day to day basis. Every waking minute is spent in some activity which will increase their chances of survival. Studying military tactics, practicing marksmanship and plotting defense strategies at their "survival retreat", planning how they will kill intruders, etc.

Well what's the point of waiting for the Great Monarch if your not going to get any practice?!  

*I read your post clearly. I just thought I'd say...*  :wink:

Nobody should make survivalism/preparedness their new full time job (unless they're unemployed). It's not like rounds are free or easily homemade!

Preparedness training (or tactical for that matter) isn't something you dedicate your whole life to. It's something you practice and cultivate over time, bit by bit. It's something that should be approached like saving pocket change. You learn a little here and there, practice every once in a while, store a little bit here and there, and before you know it, after so many days you will find that your ready for most of whatever it is that life decides to throw at you.


But FWIW, there are thousands of Japanese who are starving right now because they were not individually prepared for situations like the tsunami. They could only take whatever they could pick up and run with at a moments notice. YOUR time to run is going to vary depending on your situation. But whatever the case, weather at home or shipped abroad, making various provisions for yourself and your family NOW means that there are going to be one or several people LESS in the breadline later on. Having seen what happened in hurricanes Ike and Katrina, and having to evacuate at that time myself, and having to help clean up some of the mess, I know how true this is.

EDIT: I just finished re-reading the title of the thread. I forgot what exactly we were talking about.  

As for getting married and having kids or not, you dont expect me to build the fortifications, plant crops, process food, hunt the deer, make clothes, and keep guard all night by myself do you?  

I don't want to be married because I want to go to France and participate in the rise of the Monarch and the Restoration, if such is God's will ( and I believe it is ).  

I never said, in case this thread is directed at me, that others shouldn't be married.  I said that Tele shouldn't be married and he should do something with his jobless pointless existence and go to France with me ( or by himself ).  Also, judging by the way he speaks of marriage, my hunch is that it's not really his vocation.  He should do something with his brains.

I'm trying to recruit people here, you see  :farmer:  It's time to migrate out of the Shire.

As far as not knowing the day or the hour, I for one never said I did.  What I do know is that the globalized nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr of the ʝʊdɛօ-Masonic Republics that we're in now is not going to last.  But obviously, if I believe in the Monarch, then I don't believe this is the end.  

At CMRI, the priests I've talked to do seem to feel this is the end and they probably think of me as a wide-eyed idealist to believe in these prophecies, while others see me as doom-and-gloom.  Oh well.  All I know is, the Monarch is real.
 

Raoul you say, "They are unlikely to be from America", why say that, your from America.  

IMO, the US will get it the hardest out of the gate, but France will take the hardest shots before it is all over.  This seems to be what the various prophecies say.

A possible analogy is found in LOTR, if you know the story.  Rohan gets hit harder at first, but Gondor is where the hammer falls the hardest of all.  Similarly, I think the USA will be hit hardest in the early stages, but Europe, and France in particular, will get hit hardest before things are resolved.

On the GM, I do not think he is in Europe, nor do I think he will first rise to power in Europe.  I think he may very well come to limited prominence in a place like the US, helping us get our act together after the heavy hits that are coming.  Then, once we are safe, he will lead an army to Europe, annihilating all in his path.  Time will tell, of course.  FWIW, this is what happens with LOTR's Aragorn as he makes his way to the throne of his fathers.  The role he plays in saving Rohan is immense/pivotal.  Then he goes to to the aid of Gondor, where he is eventually crowned king.
