I too believe that God sends ample warnings before judgment is invoked or a time of upheaval is coming upon His children. Many of these signs and warnings have already been illustrated for us by Prophets of old and by the early Deciples of Christ in our Holy Bible. It is only prudent to be prepared for hard times, there will be and have been since the great flood many storms and disasters. But the greatest preparation a person can make is having knowledge of and faith in his Creator God.
