I see a question here that is not asked. Maybe (probably) I am jumping ahead. It may be addressed in this lesson or one following. My question is: When the time comes that the people of world will not be able to buy or sell unless they have the mark of the beast how are the ones who have the seal of God going to provide for their families or themselves? What am I (or you) doing to prepare for that? Since we purchased this farm I have had this little voice in my head telling me to learn what natural resources I have to survive on. I have obvious food sources: fish, deer, rabbits, water, various berries, etc. Over the past few months I have learned that I have plants that are edible like thistle. I can make flour out of cattails. I have plants that have medicinal qualities. I seem to be in a learning phase. I have yet to start the harvesting phase. IDK. I don't have a sense of urgency about it. It's more like a calm. I must confess though, I am panicky about the coffee and creamer situation. LOL.
