Should Christians Flee to the Mountains

As we are nearing the end times, many are asking the question; should Christians flee to the mountains in the end times?

We can see a pattern in the Bible that God tends to lead His people into the wilderness for safety when persecution comes, or when the place His people are living in is full of sin.

God led the Israelites into the wilderness out of Egypt.

God led Lot out of the city of Sodom.

God led John the Baptist to dwell in the wilderness.

Jesus told the early Christians to flee Jerusalem into the mountains.

God led the church during the persecution of the dark ages into the wilderness.

So we can see God's leading throughout the Bible for His people into wilderness places, places of safety away from sin and corruption and persecution. Does this mean Christians should flee to the mountains in the end times, during the very last days? For some, yes. For others, no.

You see, God will still have some of His people behind in the populated places, to give their lives for Christ Jesus as a witness for Christ, after the beast mark has been enforced. Others will leave for the safety of the wilderness. Which one is right for you? Come before God in prayer and ask for His guidance in your life.

For a more indepth look at this issue of fleeing to the mountains, see should Christians flee to the mountains in the end times.

Fix your mind on Christ and let Him guide your heart through His Holy Spirit.

May God be with us all during the last days.

  2. As long as the rifle was for only defending yourself against the wild animals ;o)

    It's certainly not a bad thing to be prepared, but we know that when we flee to the mountains God could turn the stones into bread for us if needed. He will provide for our every need. Trust in Him.

  3. Maybe Gods way of providing for us ..for those who "flee" into the Mountains..is for us to prepare, to not be caught unaware. He has given us signs in which to look toward, this is part of the preparation.

    So we should be preparing for a journey, Even Moses refused to leave into the wilderness without the Isralites belongings. So should we take up what we can. He will provide the direction.

  4. I think the time is very close when Gods people will indeed flee to the wilderness. Also what is wrong with taking a back pack with some supplies and also understand how to live off the land. This does not take away from God helping us.
