Country Living and the New French Revolution

Hello everyone, my name is Chad Kruiser with Anchor Point Films and before we begin our message today on fleeing the cities and the current French Revolution, Let's bow our heads for a word of prayer.

Heavenly Father, we thank you so much for the opportunity to study both current events and Scripture.

I just pray that your Holy Spirit would fill us, that you would draw us near to, that even in the midst of these things, that Jesus our Savior would be uplifted.

Depending on how you get it, you may get it from the internet or television or newspapers.

But notice this article here from the Wall Street Journal this is a little bit older we're gonna start with earlier this year we're gonna move right and up until basically right now in some of the current events.

In the Wall Street Journal, the question was asked just a little while back, back in June, is another exodus ahead for U.S.

Now, why might people right now be fleeing the cities?

Or the question was asked, are they going to begin?

And then we're gonna come up to today and see what's actually happening.

Well initially we had something called a pandemic, a global pandemic and global pandemics largely take place.

We've known since the plague of the 16th century that the main places that are struck with plagues are where?

In large population centers where you have a high density of human beings in close proximity and when you have that what ends up happening you have a very just a perfect kind of a recipe to spread disease and so even back then we're gonna get to that people were leaving the cities now this is taken from the Atlantic the title of the article is listen people are panic moving now I want to be very clear that we should not panic move.

We were told in the book Country Living, and by the way if you have not read that book it's 32 pages you're you're missing out.

I mean you could take a Sabbath afternoon and you could just read the whole thing.

I mean a couple hours depending on how fast of a reader you are, maybe more, maybe less.

But in that book it's very clear that people should be wise, they should see God's guiding hand, they should not be fanatical about it, but they should move with caution, know what they're gonna do, know how they're gonna make a living and see God's guiding hand.

Now, I'm not suggesting that you do what the Atlantic says people are actually doing presently, and that is they are panic moving.

Because they're seeing all the difficulties around them and it's scaring them.

And to go even further, the Wall Street Journal once again, another article from the Wall Street Journal, says escape to the country.

Why city living is losing its appeal during the pandemic.

And you can see, it's beginning to sound like the book, what, country living, escape to the country.

We were told in that book, you know, we should move into the country so that we can raise our own provisions for in the future.

The problem of buying and selling will be a very serious 1.

And now that's not why people are leaving right now.

They're not moving typically because buying and selling has become very difficult.

Although it slowly probably will become more difficult.

Right now many things are actually increasing in price.

Food is slightly gone up but some of the other things like wood for building in some areas we were just reading someone talking about how it's actually doubled, doubled.

So the cost of building is potentially doubling, at least for the softwood, the wood that you would frame a house with.

Now, the great thing is there are other ways to go about it, to move to the country, and relatively cheap ways to do it, but it's becoming potentially more expensive.

But that's not just the main reasons why people are leaving.

We read here from Forbes, the wealthy are leaving the cities for good.

So the wealthy are getting out of the cities.

Now, you can also kind of understand why right now in the midst of not only a worldwide pandemic, but on top of that social unrest, and people are angry.

It was actually prophesied that people would become angry with those who had finances, those who had means.

There's difficulty with many poor people, and so this is 1 of the things that people are angry about.

I'm not here to talk about exactly what is going on.

We're just talking about in this context what is taking place with those people choosing to leave the cities.

So they're leaving for good, we're being told.

I don't know how you could tell that because, you know, just because someone leaves right now.

I mean, a lot of people love the city and they just want to be there.

And so they may leave while it seems difficult, but if at times did somehow, you know, become better, they might go back.

But we also see here from the Hill, Americans leave large cities for suburban areas and rural towns.

So not everybody, I mean some of the folks who may live in places like New York City, Manhattan, for them a move from Manhattan to the suburbs probably feels like they're in the deep country But you know it's relative and so some are moving for the suburbs But other are moving for more rural towns and others are actually maybe moving to the country that there is a massive movement of people in society that are interested in being able to raise their own provisions.

Now just this week I was actually I was talking to actually a few weeks ago I'll tell you 2 stories a few weeks ago we were talking to a realtor we were visiting a church and it was a very, very, it was a small town and the realtor told us, she said, we cannot keep houses on the market.

And then Just this week now, this past week anyway, I was talking to a friend of mine who did choose, he and his wife, his wife is a doctor and he does technical things, when I say that, computer work.

And I talked to him and they moved from the city, a small city, actually just a suburb, I don't know if you could call it a suburb city, but it was a suburb of a good-sized city in Texas, and they now moved to the country in another state.

And the realtor, they were talking with the realtor, and the realtor said to them, are you seventh-day Adventist?

And they said I am I am selling property to a lot of Seventh-day Adventists right now.

And so what they're seeing is Seventh-day Adventists are actually moving to the country.

So not only are just common people, all walks of life, meaning the people of the world are sensing they've got to get out of the cities, but now I found out that not only are they doing it, but even the realtors are like, what's going on with these Seventh-Day Adventist people?

They're seeing something is taking place and they're actually moving out.

You probably, you know, 1 of the most popular periodicals and the title of this article is COVID-19 is prompting wealthy people to move out of the cities.

The plague had the same effect hundreds of years ago.

Now, this is interesting too, you know, for historians to go look at history, you know, obviously when you're in the midst of a plague, historians, what do they think?

Hey, I should see what happened in the past.

And so as you look into it, you find that you had the plague in the 16th century and The king, I think it was Henry VIII or Louis VIII, I should have gone back and checked that out before I spoke about this, but nevertheless the king at that time while the plague was going on, he was terrified because his grandmother had potentially died from the plague and so he had this fear of dying and he thought about it regularly and so he would actually move out of the city but he would do this thing where you would move and move and move.

That was kind of his gig to try to avoid the plague.

But it's interesting that back then in the 16th century they knew, they knew that that the cities were hotbeds of the plague because of the close, once again the proximity of the people in these cities were as such that it would spread the disease very rapidly and so it was dangerous to be there and even back then people were leaving the cities because of the plague.

And so both historically we see this, we see this in the present time and we were told this in the spirit of prophecy that the cities were places for the spread of disease.

It's interesting because you would have thought like we're so technologically advanced that like a plague like this.

It's just could never even happen and yet it is And so we're actually told that as religious liberty begins to be curtailed or trying to think of a good word for it, but as religious liberty diminishes in our land, We need to learn more and more how to do natural remedies.

And then you think, why natural remedies?

Now, the reality is, is there a scientific research that compares head to head the natural remedies.

This is not just like in, you know, in the backwoods of, you know, podunk so-and-so state, you name the state.

But they're actually doing peer-reviewed literature, is actually doing scientific study, comparing head-to-head natural remedies, and they're finding in many cases that it's actually just as good or better than the standard drug medications, the pharmaceutical agents.

It's just as good or better often, not always, often and yet with less side effects.

We were told that we should be able to use remedies that don't have the side effects of the drug medication.

And now research is showing, I know this sometimes can scare doctors, but if you're willing to look into the scientific literature, you will begin to see these things for yourself.

Now, I know this is not commonly taught in the medical schools, but it is in the scientific journals.

So we need to as we get toward the end of time and as the methods that are being used are not very successful.

People in society are turning towards, they are turning towards natural remedies and things to help them out.

And the good news is we now have research to show that many of these things are very good at what they do.
