Shmita Preparation 101

Shmita Preparation 101

Worst Case Scenario

If the power grid was hacked and shut down for an extended period of time or any other major disaster whether it be a natural disaster or man made, we have to think of the wide-ranging implications. Everything digital would no longer work.

That means you will not be able to use your credit or debit card, gas pumps will not work, no cash registers, freezers thaw out and meat goes bad, no heat for cooling or heating your house, natural gas would soon run out, toilets and plumbing stop working, water stops running, garbage is not collected, Grocery stores don’t get re-stocked because all logistics are done by computer and transactions for stores to purchase food can no longer be done, and the list goes on. It would be everyone for themselves until eventually most people would have to rely on the government for all of their essentials because most people are not able to provide the basic necessities of food, water, and shelter without the digital world and electricity.

This is the kind of attack the World Economic Forum is predicting, and would give the powers that be complete control over the people. If the government has the food, water, shelter, and guns to protect it, and 95% of the people do not have the means to be self-sufficient, the facade of freedom suddenly disappears. It would look something like the 7 years of famine in the story of Joseph in the Bible where all of the people were bringing everything they had of value to pay for food and grain, but with much worse leadership.

PREPARE

To prepare for such an event make sure you are able to have the three essentials covered which we mentioned above as being food, water and shelter and add on a fourth one, security. If you can store lots of extra food that does not need to be refrigerated and clean drinking water that would be helpful. If you can grow your own food and have a well or access to a clean river, even better. Be sure to have a means for backup power like a generator and plenty of gas to run it and your car, or solar panels and batteries to store the energy and charge your electric car. If you are in a cold place make sure you have a wood burning stove or fireplace to stay warm. For security, if you are in a good community where people help one another and stick together this is the best way to stay safe, and it is even better if that community is armed and knows how to use their weapons effectively enough to make people think twice before trying to steal your stuff.

If you are not living in such a community, be sure not to tell anyone you have a lot of extra supplies, because you will become target number one for those not prepared. Also, have some sort of weapon that is easy to use, preferably a gun like a shot gun that does not take a lot of experience or aim to protect yourself and your loved ones. This is all worst case scenario preparation, but if in case it does happen where you are living, you and your loved ones will not be complaining and worried about what you are going to do now. Other things to think about are things like essential medications that would be unavailable and to stock up on those, as well as having essential books that you would no longer have in digital form. If ATM’s won’t be working it would be very helpful to have cash on hand. Also, have things you can barter with that other people would need like batteries, toilet paper, gasoline, and even things like ammunition, as well as skills like how to fix a car or any skill that would be valuable and can be used as a trading tool in that situation..

CONCLUSION

We hope all of this has been informative and helpful in grasping what they are not telling you on the news to see the bigger picture and how to prepare. We are not trying to be alarmist in any way, but simply giving you the information to decide for yourself if this warrants preparing in any way shape or form, and if you do believe that is the case then to begin taking action in doing so. If Joseph would have simply ignored the dreams that Pharaoh had the story would have gone much differently. Perhaps you are in the situation or position you are in right now to be that person of action instead of brushing it off thinking others will do it for you. Adonai bless you and keep you!
