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.
