Any time, an electromagnetic pulse device (or half a dozen other causes of a power grid failure) could instantly plunge America back 150 years to the pioneer days.<\/p>\n
This is so unthinkable—and so possible at the same time.<\/p>\n
It is so unthinkable because we could not deal with it, and we can’t think of how to prepare for it or how to avoid it.<\/p>\n
It is so possible because the technology is there, and we have enemies who would like to see it happen, and they have already tested their capabilities to make it happen.<\/p>\n
The 911 attack was a complete surprise.<\/p>\n
An EMP or other power grid failure is a known threat—yet it will also be a complete surprise.<\/p>\n
The death toll could easily be ten thousand times that of 911.<\/p>\n
A few months later, the survival number could be only ten thousand times the death toll of 911.<\/p>\n
In the light of this, Americans have two basic responses:<\/p>\n
One, individual preparation for survival and self-defense.<\/p>\n
Two, going to work one more day to buy food and pay bills.<\/p>\n
And, some Americans do both.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is another event coming, for everyone.<\/p>\n
It can come individually, or en masse.<\/p>\n
For many, it could be simultaneous with the above.<\/p>\n
The timing will be a surprise for nearly everyone.<\/p>\n
The toll will be eight billion people—everyone—eventually.<\/p>\n
Unthinkable, because it never happened before—at least not to me, or to the reader.<\/p>\n
Responses:<\/p>\n
Some prepare—very do-able.<\/p>\n
Most do not—just living for today (and retirement).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The event—eternity.<\/p>\n
Eternity—it will happen.<\/p>\n
Eternity—for every one of us.<\/p>\n
Eternity—very soon, or in a few years.<\/p>\n
Eternity—irreversible.<\/p>\n
Eternity—unthinkable?<\/p>\n
Eternity—not a step back in time.<\/p>\n
Eternity—no more decision time.<\/p>\n
Eternity—“There’s no time to change your mind.”<\/p>\n
Eternity—prepare?<\/p>\n
Eternity—“I wish we’d all been ready.”<\/p>\n
Eternity—“I’ll take my chances.”<\/p>\n
Eternity—<\/p>\n
Many people think life is a buffet—then they find out there were only two choices on the menu—and they find out if they made the right choice—upon entering eternity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
EMP bottom line—I prepare what I can, and I go to work, and I write, to make a difference in your life . . .<\/p>\n
ETERNITY bottom line—My name is written in a book, and when I cross into eternity, that book will be opened, and Jesus will welcome me to live with Him forever.\u00a0 He wrote my name in His book when I accepted His payment for my sins and gave Him everything in my life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There’s a lot of uncertainty in this world—peace, comfort, security, survival—fragile for most, threatened for all.<\/p>\n
Please do not miss the parts that are certain, in light of EMP’s in this world and ETERNITY in the next.<\/p>\n
