Are you in the Loop?

In Revelation chapter 18 verse 4, it clearly states to come out of her my people. This is a command coming from Yahweh for all to become a separate people from the remainder of the world. It also states so that we will not partake of the plagues that are coming. Of course this is referring to the tribulation and means for all to follow. If it did not say that you may not partake of the plagues then it really wouldn't matter because God said for us to do it and we really don't need an explanation to follow.

So how are we to be separate? Quite easily be not dependent on others to do for you when you can do for yourself. I can give many examples such as educating your own children and such but I think you get the idea. Yashua Messiah when he walked the earth he told us to pay tribute to Caesar. (Mark 12:17).  However, in today's age the Government wants to own or control everything around us. So it becomes a fine line between what the Government wants from us and how we have to participate in order to live.

Yashua (Jesus) when he walked the earth he did not own any substantial property. I state this because it is not recorded in the Bible. He did not own a car, house, watch, fancy clothes,Wii, or any other luxuries. The Government wants you to own all these things as the more you have and consume the more they can tax and can control you. They literally want everything you eat to come out of a box or everything you do to come in a package of some sort. But what if we just did not participate in the consumer driven economic mess like it says to not do by Rev 18:4? You would literally have all the time in the world to do as the Lord would direct you to do. All you really need is a place to lay your head and a little food.

Examples of just having a place to lay your head and a little food to eat for those who are totally new to the idea of being parted from your possessions either by choice or not. I will give a couple of examples. I do not expect everyone to just walk away from their houses and cars to live this lifestyle, but want everyone to realize that you do not need a bunch of stuff controlling you or your time.

A place to sleep: of course this can come in many different forms but I just want to address the more basic ones for those without imagination. An alternate living arrangement can save you money as well as preserve your independence. I have heard of apartments with rent over a thousand dollars a month in Ct.  In the 1970's there was a trend that people did then, and that was customizing vans. There were many people who customized their vans and lived in them nicely. An example of a modern van conversion is here at this link.

                                                                 Debris Shelter

  Another place to sleep if you can't afford a van is to make a debris shelter. The preceding debris shelter I think I would have made a little larger and put more leaves on it like about a foot and a half to two feet for more insulation. They are invisible, if you build these near large rocks they will just look like a large rock covered with leaves. This will keep you warm, you may have to burn a candle in one just to stay comfortable in winter, but they do work.

Food, something to eat: Rice and Beans are the cheapest staple you can buy. You can buy a huge bag of dehydrated rice and or beans for next to nothing. Of course you cannot live on just the two. But how about this, you can mix rice with literally any meal 50/50 and can make what food you have last twice as long. I could go on about living on the land, such as a wedge shaped mushroom that grow on trees in New England, eating dandelion and cat tail roots, or how you could use rat traps to catch squirrels, etc. These ideas may keep you alive in a survival situation, however they are not longest lasting or most nutritious. For those who will work to get food, all you have to do is knock on a door of a house and ask if you can sweep their driveway for a sandwich. Most people are accommodating to those who really want to do a little bit of work for food. Food banks are also an option.

Of course the examples I have given you are extreme at the least. The point I am trying to make is that you can live without most of the things we take for granted in this country. I think all of us can work a little more to follow God by trying to separate yourself from the loop and if everyone would just ignore the beast system  they would have to drastically change their thinking from seeing how they can get over on us by trapping us into a collapsing system of materialism into and develop attitude of just leaving us alone.

So I ask you this: are you in the loop and if you are are you trying to get out of it?
