In just another day, people from my congregation will join us in relearning lost skills that have been pushed aside by modern conveniences. We will be processing a chicken for the purpose of harvesting meat and storing food. This has been an ongoing series in "prepping." (We are not LDS in any shape or form) We do not believe in a "Left Behind" kind of rapture of the saints. According to the Bible, there will be a regathering and a resurrection. We do believe that our Heavenly Father will provide similarly to the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt. In the mean time, we should be like the five wise virgins and prepare for the bridegroom's arrival with the following verses in mind.
Isaiah 51:45 " My people, go ye out of the midst of her [Babylon], and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord."
Revelation 18:4 "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
Purity is not just spiritual or emotional or physical alone. It is the complete person in every respect. Knowing what you feed your own animals and how it is raised and processed should give a clean conscience of what is put into your body. The believer's body according to 2 Corinthians 6:16 is a Temple of the Most High. Keep it pure!
